The Cherished Wife

"Nothing impossible about that unless the picture here is a fake." Xavier had nowhere to release all his pent-up anger. He had never imagined Winter and Charles would get entangled with each other like that. The other day, Winter mentioned that since she would be there to put in a good word for him, there would be plenty of collaboration opportunities between Frotconn and Collosus Group. However, if Winter's so-called way of putting in a good word was as the newspapers described it, wouldn't that make him a fool who had been cheated on? "Winter Shaw, I never thought you would treat me this way!"

"It's not like that, Xavier. You have to trust me. Don't take things the wrong way. My relationship with Charles is not what it seems, and I don't have any feelings for him. I merely think of him as a senior, and this is just an interaction between a junior and their senior..." "Enough!" Xavier said as he flung Winter's hand away impatiently. "Look at how you're looking at Charles. Could the look in your eyes be fooling anyone? Winter Shaw, I'd never imagined you to have such feelings toward Charles. What else do you have to say now that everything's out in the open?"

Xavier flung the covers off himself and got out of bed, a frosty look in his eyes as he stared at Winter while hurriedly getting dressed. Winter felt like her heart was squeezing itself as tears brimmed in her eyes, making her look like she was about to burst into tears any minute now. She got out of bed as well and grabbed Xavier's arm. "Please don't be angry, Xavier. There must be some misunderstanding. You have to trust me. I'll get someone to sort things out immediately, Xavier. You..."

"Enough. If it really is a misunderstanding, you can come talk to me when you've sorted things out," Xavier said as he sneered. "I can't believe I used to feel guilty toward you. I took you on a trip. I never expected you to treat me this way."

Xavier did not pay Winter any more attention and left the room to head downstairs the minute he finished getting dressed.
