why she was going through all this trouble.When considering the big picture, she was making the right decision.If it were him, he would probably do the same.“Okay. I will contact Mr. Fairchild after this. Stay in contact at all times.”Winnie hummed in response.The closer she came to the abandoned chemical plant, the lighter her steps became.Meanwhile, Xavier was hunched over, trekking through the woods.The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off.There’s something wrong with the situation earlier. First of all, my Dumbo is not a careless person at all. I didn’t suspect anything earlier, but now that I think about it, it really is impossible. Even if she fell, she would have checked her pouch after getting up. And there was that look she gave me. Why did she look at me like we would never see each other again? There’s no reason for her to worry about that now. We haven’t even entered the chemical plant or seen Harold!Upon that thought, Xavier suddenly realized that Winnie had tricked him!He instinctively reached up to feel for his earpiece, but there was nothing in his ear.When he realized that his earpiece was missing, his mind immediately went to the parting kiss Winnie had given him.He clearly remembered that she had lightly caressed his ear when she pressed her lips to his.Xavier was at a loss. “Winnie…”How could she do this? How could she?Snapping back to his senses, Xavier did not care about the route he had taken to get here and just headed back in a straight line.As he waded through the forest, he called Winnie’s phone.She didn’t plan on answering, but she couldn’t hold herself back in the end.“Xavier.”Nothing could get through to him now.

I’m also not giving you a f*cking chance to. Stop it! Stop this right now! Just stop!”“No, I don’t want to.” Winnie didn’t listen to him. Instead, she chuckled lightly and asked, “Xavier, have I ever told you I love you?”“Shut up!” Xavier didn’t want to listen to a thing. His mind was racing, and his heart was in emotional turmoil. “It’s fine even if you don’t love me. Let’s talk face-to-face. I don’t want to talk about this over the phone. Do you hear me, Winnie? Stay right where you are, and don’t go anywhere!”Winnie clicked her tongue. “Do you think I’m that much of an obedient person? I do love you. Xavier, I love you.”With that, she hung up the phone.Xavier tried calling again, but no one answered.Yes, she has never told me that she loves me. This was the first time I’d ever heard those words from her. But so what? I just want to keep her by my side.Xavier felt like he was going insane with worry. However, he knew that it was times like this that he
