dictionary today? You’re being so fussy about my usage of words,” Winnie quipped.Xavier huffed, “I wasn’t planning to go to the party, but I guess I’ll have to go to accompany you. You have to compensate me for this.”“Oh, my goodness, Xavier. Are you acting coy with me right now?” Xavier was rendered speechless at that. After a while, he managed, “It seems like I’m not being assertive enough. I said you have to compensate me. The best way to do that would be to give yourself to me.”“Okay, I’ll do that.” Winnie pinched Xavier’s chin and purred, “Wash yourself clean tonight and wait for me at home.”Instantly, Xavier’s eyes lit up. “Really? You’re not lying?”“Cross my heart!”In the afternoon, Winnie visited Mason with some people to discuss the search for Greta.Following that, she returned straight to Aqua Moana.After having dinner with Jacinta, she headed upstairs.Because of her promise in the morning, Xavier was already waiting for her in the room at that moment.In fact, he was already done bathing when she entered.Not only that, he even put on some music and lighted scented candles to create a cozy and romantic atmosphere.Winnie was also someone who loved romantic ambience.As she stood under the warm light, her beautiful face looked gentle.“Did you prepare all this for me?”“Yes.” Xavier stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her. “Although you didn’t mention it, I know you like stuff like this. I decorated everything by myself. Since I was a little short on time, this was the best I could come up with. Next time, I’ll plan it properly.”Winnie snuggled against him and assured him, “This is more than enough. It means a lot more when you decorate personally rather than making someone do the work. I like it very much.”“I’m glad you like it.” Xavier took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the burning desire within him. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I missed you. I missed you so, so much. We haven’t had a night like this for months already.”“I missed you too,” Winnie was moved and said earnestly.What she got in response was a passionate, heated kiss.Soon, they crashed into the bed, the flower petals crushed under their bodies.Winnie gripped Xavier’s shoulder and yelped, “Go slow!”Right at that crucial moment, her phone began to ring.They decided to just ignore it, but the phone rang endlessly.In his frustration, Xavier wanted to grab the phone and throw it away.However, when he caught a glimpse of the word Granny on the screen, he paused his movements.Winnie also saw the caller ID.She took the phone and lay down on her back, gesturing at Xavier to keep quiet as she answered the call.Despite the resentful look in Xavier’s eyes, he cooperated and stopped what he was doing.Winnie cleared her throat and chirped, “Hello, Granny. What’s up?”“Winnie, can you come over? I accidentally tripped.” Jacinta’s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line.“What?” Winnie sprang up from the bed. “Where are you? I’ll go to you right away!”Hearing that Jacinta tripped and fell, Xavier hurriedly offered, “I’ll go downstairs with you.”“Winnie, you should come alone. I tripped while I was taking a bath. Come and help me up,” Jacinta asserted after hearing Xavier.“Okay, I’ll head there right now! Just stay still and don’t move. I’m going downstairs now,” Winnie reminded worriedly.“Okay, hurry up.”After hanging up, Winnie swiftly dressed herself.As she did that, she explained to Xavier, “Granny is in the bathroom, so it isn’t appropriate for you to be there. I’ll go to her on my own.”Xavier nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”“I know.” Winnie did the last button on her chiffon blouse and gave Xavier a quick peck.With a towel wrapped around his waist, Xavier walked her to the door. He knew that Winnie likely wouldn’t return
