elevator.From the looks of it, he must have sat in his wheelchair waiting for them for some time. The two froze in shock until the elevator door closed again when no one went out of the elevator after a long while.Christopher raised his hand to stop the door despite being caught in a dilemma. He was undecided if he should step out or go back down.As for Winnie, she was not expecting Xavier to be back at Aqua Moana. Thus, it never once crossed her mind that Xavier would appear on the thirty-first floor.I guess there’s no use hiding. Granny shouted so loud from our house earlier, so he must’ve heard.Spotting Xavier’s hostile glare at Christopher, Winnie turned to Christopher and said, “I’m sorry. This is not a good day to have guests over at the house. We’ll take a rain check.”Christopher nodded. “Sure. Call me if you need anything.”“I will,” Winnie replied with an apologetic smile. She felt sorry that things had taken an unexpected turn.Their interaction exasperated Xavier and watching them felt as if a thousand knives had pierced his heart.To him, it did not matter if Winne lashed out at him or expressed her surprise as long as he was the first person she talked to the moment she saw him, yet that was not what Winnie did.She reacted calmly and coldly toward Xavier and apologized to and smiled at another man. She even invited Christopher to her house in front of Xavier.Humiliated, Xavier felt a gush of fury rose in his heart. I gave her my heart and soul, yet she threw it at her feet and trampled all over it.“Stand right there. No one’s going anywhere,” Xavier ordered in a forbidding tone. There was no sign of his endearing self when he was around Winnie in his voice. Christopher frowned when he sensed the antagonism in Xavier’s voice.“You must’ve misunderstood our relationship, Mr. Fairchild. I came to discuss important matters with Winnie today, and I came up because her granny invited me in.”“Shut up! Is that your guilt speaking? I didn’t even ask a question, or are you afraid I don’t know all the details of you guys’ meetup?”“Xavier Fairchild! Stop being snarky! You’re the one who should shut up!” Winnie shouted. Xavier’s tone vexed her beyond measure, especially when she had been tolerating his lies that whole day.“Christopher’s Granny’s guest, so who do you think you are to talk to him like this? You and I not even related, to begin with,” she continued.“What did you say? Are we not related? Do you want me to show you our marriage certificate to jog your memory about our relationship?
