Chapter 85

about you, though. You’re fearless in the face of danger and adapt to the situation well.”“That’s it?” Xavier lifted Winnie’s hand and pressed a kiss to the back of her hand.“When you disappeared, I drove my car and plane and climbed mountains. I ate nothing for a few days and searched everywhere for you. I didn’t even go to work at Fairchild Corporation. Don’t you know what I did for you?” Xavier sounded frustrated as he gazed at her intently.That was the first time Winnie had ever seen him acting this way. It felt like seeing a wolf turning into a loyal dog that was wagging its tail gently.“Well, I’ve heard a little about it, but I was also told that you were with Yulissa all the while. No one knows what’s going on in your mind.”“Do you know now, then?” Xavier brought her hand and placed it on his chest. “I wasn’t lying to you. Dumbo, I don’t need to lie to you.”Winnie parted her lips to say something, but before she could utter a word, Xavier interjected, “I know what you want to say. It depends on my performance, right? Time will reveal a person’s heart. As long as you stay with me, time will prove that I’m sincere.”Winnie had nothing else to say. Right then, Xavier’s phone rang.It was a new phone, and he did not manage to sync his contacts yet, so the screen showed the caller’s number instead of the caller ID.Winnie recognized the number at once. “It’s Louis. You should answer it. Do you want me to leave?”“No need.” Xavier shot her a surprised look. “You memorized Louis’ number. Are you good with numbers?”Winnie did not know why, but she suddenly had the urge to show off to him.“Yeah,” she replied nonchalantly. “I have a photographic memory, I guess. It’s quite annoying sometimes, for I couldn’t forget many useless stuff.”Xavier chuckled. She’s obviously showing off her skills. How cute!“Dumbo.” He reached out and ruffled her hair, just like how he used to tease her.After retracting his hand, he took his phone and answered Louis’ call.“What is it?” “Mr. Xavier, bad news. Old Mr. Fairchild is seriously ill and has been admitted to the hospital. Zyon’s family has been talking to Old Mr. Fairchild’s lawyer these few days, and I think it’s related to his will. Do you want to come back and see Old Mr. Fairchild?”Xavier frowned. “Before I get back, assign someone to keep an eye on him twenty-four seven. Aside from Josiah’s medical staff, no one else is allowed to come near him. Also, inform my father about this. I’ll call you if I have other arrangements.”“Is Old Mr. Fairchild all right?” Winnie asked in concern after Xavier ended the call. Rufus
