that I’m in pain?”Winnie felt that man had indeed lost his mind. “Xavier! You’re hurting me!”Again, her words fell on deaf ears when Xavier’s arms tautened around her body. Christopher had been staying out of their fight all that while since he figured he should not get involved in Xavier and Winnie’s relationship. Still, when he saw that Xavier refused to let Winnie go despite making her uncomfortable, he decided to intervene.“Mr. Fairchild,” he weighed in, taking a step forward and holding Xavier’s shoulder, “please let her go. You’re hurting her.”Given the situation, Christopher was the last person Xavier wanted to see and listen to.He lifted his head from Winnie’s neck and glowered at Christopher with red veins in his eyes.“Stay out of this.

Am I disturbing you guys?”Jacinta did not have a good impression of Xavier in the first place, so his condescending tone only piqued her further.“Yes. There’s only one unit per floor here, so standing in the way of the elevator on this floor is equivalent to trespassing. Please leave.
