drawing the line so clearly when you were clinging to me, asking for kisses and hugs!”“What choice do I have when you’re born with such good looks?” Winnie pressed her forefinger against Xavier’s lips.“It’s human nature to like beautiful things. You have a delectable face and body. You slept next to me every night. I’m not a nun. Do you think I don’t have desires? Besides, do you seriously take the words spoken on bed seriously?” she spoke in a low voice. “Winnie Garland!” Xavier clenched his teeth in anger. Before knowing her true character, I was oblivious that she had such an evil side.His rage was burning fervently. “Don’t joke with me about this kind of thing.
