Chapter 211

your happiness. The worst-case scenario is you getting hurt by Xavier, but I know you’re a tough and capable woman. Even if he does end up hurting you, I have faith that you’ll be able to rise stronger than before. You can count on me to always be on your side, Winnie. Instead of objecting to your relationship, I hereby give you my most sincere blessings.” “Thanks, Granny!” Winnie leaned forward and gave her a hug. “Xavier, too, wishes to receive your blessings.”“Of course I’d wish for your happiness, silly! Xavier must’ve been pretty upset when I expressed my dislike for him, huh? Have him come over for dinner someday. I’ll apologize to him in person.”“That won’t be necessary, Granny. He can’t possibly accept an apology from an elder like you. I’m just glad you’re okay with him now!” Winnie said with a bright smile.Jacinta decided to strike while the iron was hot and said, “Then go tell him to stop looking for my grandson. Think of it as an act of kindness from me to him.”Naturally, Winnie respected her decision. “All right. We’ll stop looking for him.”Jacinta nodded with a smile on her face.She had her reasons for wanting Xavier to stop the search, but giving up on her grandson wasn’t one of them.It was actually because she had already figured out her grandson’s true identity after reorganizing some of the memories buried deep within her head.I know Xavier has been onto me since the fire at the Fairchild residence. On top of that, he probably found out about me withdrawing money from the bank as well. Xavier might discover my secretive past if he continues the investigation. That would definitely spell disaster for me. I don’t think Winnie has ever suspected me, though. Xavier probably hasn’t told her anything. I should start treating him better so he’ll drop his suspicions toward me.Later that night, Winnie followed Jacinta’s instructions and invited Xavier over for dinner.Although Xavier found Jacinta’s sudden invitation a little unusual, her behavior toward him hadn’t changed all that much.Jacinta still maintained a somewhat cold attitude around him, which was considered normal for them.Is she accepting my relationship with Dumbo because she’s genuinely trying to change, or is she simply putting up a convincing act to achieve some kind of goal? I can’t tell…Because Xavier wasn’t sure about Jacinta’s intentions, he didn’t dare let his guard down and continued monitoring her.He even went as far as checking her call history and daily schedule, but he couldn’t find anything suspicious.Just like that, three days soon came to pass.Xavier received word that Jacinta was leaving the house, but it came as no surprise since he already knew about it.Apparently, she would be seeing Michael and Rachel off as they went home.As it would be more comfortable and convenient to travel by plane, Michael and Rachel were originally going to take a flight home. However, their flight got canceled due to bad weather, so they chose to go home by ferry instead.The date of the ferry ride was a day before their original return flight.Xavier was able to obtain all of that information with the help of his assistant, so he wasn’t the slightest bit surprised when he heard about it. As everything seemed to make perfect sense, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.Winnie, on the other hand, was shocked when she found out about it.She was driving to Sebastian’s house when she got a call from Jacinta regarding the change.“Why the sudden change? Old Mr. Xander and I have a
