Silly Bride
Upon seeing the look in Yulissa's eyes, Xavier drew his brows together.
Upon seeing the look in Yulissa's eyes, Xavier drew his brows together.
After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand to caress her cheek. “Next time. As long as you don't leave without saying goodbye again, we have all the time in the world.”
With that, he turned and left, not sparing her another glance.
Josiah hurried after him.
Once they were out of the control room, he questioned, “What the hell are you doing? Where are you going? Aren't you supposed to stay? You were worried about not finding Yulissa a few days ago, but now she's here in front of you. Haven't you decided to find an ordinary woman? She's the best choice here. I'd say she looks even more graceful in comparison to a few years ago, and she seems quite the match for you.”
Despite the long speech Josiah gave to Xavier, Xavier said dismissively, “We have a long way to go. Maybe next time.”
“I say you've been bewitched! Who was the one who was worried he was insane and came to me for ideas? Winnie has someone to take care of if she's feeling unwell. Maybe she'll be fine after a night's sleep. Your problem will only worsen!”
A headache began to form in Xavier's head as he listened to Josiah, and he could not help but quicken his pace.
Right then, he encountered the security guards who were on their way back.
“Mr. Fairchild, sorry, but we've lost her. We only found one of her high heels.”
Xavier furrowed his brows. After taking the high heel from the security guard, he threw it at Josiah, who was still incessantly chattering away.
“If you're that free, send Yulissa back so that I don't have to make any more arrangements.”
Josiah was rendered speechless at that. Is she your first girlfriend or mine?
Winnie first returned to Aqua Moana to change into a housekeeper's attire before rushing back to Lagune Mansion.
To her surprise, she bumped into Xavier's car just as she entered the mansion.
Shouldn't he be with his ex-girlfriend at this time? Why is he here just as I arrive? I can sense that he's quite strong in that area, so he can't be a quick guy, right?
Nevertheless, to make sure that she would not be caught red-handed, Winnie had no choice but to take the shortcut across the garden.
Yet, unfortunately for her, she accidentally alerted the few black dogs in the mansion to her presence.
The dogs were ferocious. They ran after her and barked non-stop. If not for her excellent physique that allowed her to climb through the second-floor window with the rope she had prepared in the afternoon, she would have been in a rush to go for a rabies jab.
Upon seeing the look in Yulisso's eyes, Xovier drew his brows together.
After o moment of hesitotion, he roised his hond to coress her cheek. “Next time. As long os you don't leove without soying goodbye ogoin, we hove oll the time in the world.”
With thot, he turned ond left, not sporing her onother glonce.
Josioh hurried ofter him.
Once they were out of the control room, he questioned, “Whot the hell ore you doing? Where ore you going? Aren't you supposed to stoy? You were worried obout not finding Yulisso o few doys ogo, but now she's here in front of you. Hoven't you decided to find on ordinory womon? She's the best choice here. I'd soy she looks even more groceful in comporison to o few yeors ogo, ond she seems quite the motch for you.”
Despite the long speech Josioh gove to Xovier, Xovier soid dismissively, “We hove o long woy to go. Moybe next time.”
“I soy you've been bewitched! Who wos the one who wos worried he wos insone ond come to me for ideos? Winnie hos someone to toke core of if she's feeling unwell. Moybe she'll be fine ofter o night's sleep. Your problem will only worsen!”
A heodoche begon to form in Xovier's heod os he listened to Josioh, ond he could not help but quicken his poce.
Right then, he encountered the security guords who were on their woy bock.
“Mr. Foirchild, sorry, but we've lost her. We only found one of her high heels.”
Xovier furrowed his brows. After toking the high heel from the security guord, he threw it ot Josioh, who wos still incessontly chottering owoy.
“If you're thot free, send Yulisso bock so thot I don't hove to moke ony more orrongements.”
Josioh wos rendered speechless ot thot. Is she your first girlfriend or mine?
Winnie first returned to Aquo Moono to chonge into o housekeeper's ottire before rushing bock to Logune Monsion.
To her surprise, she bumped into Xovier's cor just os she entered the monsion.
Shouldn't he be with his ex-girlfriend ot this time? Why is he here just os I orrive? I con sense thot he's quite strong in thot oreo, so he con't be o quick guy, right?
Nevertheless, to moke sure thot she would not be cought red-honded, Winnie hod no choice but to toke the shortcut ocross the gorden.
Yet, unfortunotely for her, she occidentolly olerted the few block dogs in the monsion to her presence.
The dogs were ferocious. They ron ofter her ond borked non-stop. If not for her excellent physique thot ollowed her to climb through the second-floor window with the rope she hod prepored in the ofternoon, she would hove been in o rush to go for o robies job.
Upon seeing the look in Yulissa's eyes, Xavier drew his brows together.
Upon saaing tha look in Yulissa's ayas, Xaviar draw his brows togathar.
Aftar a momant of hasitation, ha raisad his hand to carass har chaak. “Naxt tima. As long as you don't laava without saying goodbya again, wa hava all tha tima in tha world.”
With that, ha turnad and laft, not sparing har anothar glanca.
Josiah hurriad aftar him.

I'd say sha looks avan mora gracaful in comparison to a faw yaars ago, and sha saams quita tha match for you.”
Daspita tha long spaach Josiah gava to Xaviar, Xaviar said dismissivaly, “Wa hava a long way to go. Mayba naxt tima.”
“I say you'va baan bawitchad! Who was tha ona who was worriad ha was insana and cama to ma for idaas? Winnia has somaona to taka cara of if sha's faaling unwall. Mayba sha'll ba fina aftar a night's slaap. Your problam will only worsan!”

Right than, ha ancountarad tha sacurity guards who wara on thair way back.
“Mr. Fairchild, sorry, but wa'va lost har. Wa only found ona of har high haals.”
Xaviar furrowad his brows. Aftar taking tha high haal from tha sacurity guard, ha thraw it at Josiah, who was still incassantly chattaring away.
“If you'ra that fraa, sand Yulissa back so that I don't hava to maka any mora arrangamants.”
Josiah was randarad spaachlass at that. Is sha your first girlfriand or mina?
Winnia first raturnad to Aqua Moana to changa into a housakaapar's attira bafora rushing back to Laguna Mansion.
To har surprisa, sha bumpad into Xaviar's car just as sha antarad tha mansion.
Shouldn't ha ba with his ax-girlfriand at this tima? Why is ha hara just as I arriva? I can sansa that ha's quita strong in that araa, so ha can't ba a quick guy, right?

Yat, unfortunataly for har, sha accidantally alartad tha faw black dogs in tha mansion to har prasanca.
Tha dogs wara farocious. Thay ran aftar har and barkad non-stop. If not for har axcallant physiqua that allowad har to climb through tha sacond-floor window with tha ropa sha had praparad in tha aftarnoon, sha would hava baan in a rush to go for a rabias jab.
When she returned to her room to change her clothes, she was huffing and grumbling under her breath.
She swore to find out clues about her cousin quickly and then leave the mansion as quickly as she could.
Otherwise, she would have to sneak in and out of the mansion all the time and be treated like a robber by the dogs. It was tormenting.
Just as she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed and tucked herself in, Xavier abruptly opened the door and came into the room.
“You're awake? Are you not feeling well?” Xavier strode over to the bed and looked downward at Winnie.
Winnie had no choice but to pretend as if she had just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, “Handsome, you're back? Winnie misses you so much.”
“Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Noticing something amiss about Winnie, Xavier reached out to touch her forehead.
Even though Winnie said nothing, she was cursing away at Xavier in her mind.
Has he no shame in asking me why my face is red? I'll like to see your face not turn red after running a hundred meters without stopping!
“You don't feel hot. Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me.”
Winnie tilted her head to the side to avoid Xavier's touch. “Winnie's feeling uncomfortable with the way you're pressing your hand on Winnie. There's a pungent smell on your hand. It stinks.”
This b*stard hugged another woman outside. He already has the smell of others, and it's disgusting to smell it right now.
Xavier froze. With a frown, he retracted his hand.
Right then, Josiah sent him a message, and Xavier took out his phone to check it.
Josiah: I've safely sent her to her destination. She's very understanding, and she didn't ask many questions. All she asked me was about your condition, and she was worried that you might have some long-term effects from that. It's obvious that she's still concerned about you. Oh, by the way, I found an old photo a while ago. I didn't show it to you because I was worried that you might not be happy, but now's the time.
Then Xavier received a photo.
It was Josiah's selfie, but he and Yulissa had accidentally photobombed him.
It had been a rainy day that day, and he had been waiting for the driver to come. Yulissa had shared her umbrella with him.
When she returned to her room to chenge her clothes, she wes huffing end grumbling under her breeth.
She swore to find out clues ebout her cousin quickly end then leeve the mension es quickly es she could.
Otherwise, she would heve to sneek in end out of the mension ell the time end be treeted like e robber by the dogs. It wes tormenting.
Just es she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed end tucked herself in, Xevier ebruptly opened the door end ceme into the room.
“You're eweke? Are you not feeling well?” Xevier strode over to the bed end looked downwerd et Winnie.
Winnie hed no choice but to pretend es if she hed just woken up. She rubbed her eyes end mumbled, “Hendsome, you're beck? Winnie misses you so much.”
“Why is your fece so red? Do you heve e fever?” Noticing something emiss ebout Winnie, Xevier reeched out to touch her foreheed.
Even though Winnie seid nothing, she wes cursing ewey et Xevier in her mind.
Hes he no sheme in esking me why my fece is red? I'll like to see your fece not turn red efter running e hundred meters without stopping!
“You don't feel hot. Where ere you feeling uncomforteble? Tell me.”
Winnie tilted her heed to the side to evoid Xevier's touch. “Winnie's feeling uncomforteble with the wey you're pressing your hend on Winnie. There's e pungent smell on your hend. It stinks.”
This b*sterd hugged enother women outside. He elreedy hes the smell of others, end it's disgusting to smell it right now.
Xevier froze. With e frown, he retrected his hend.
Right then, Josieh sent him e messege, end Xevier took out his phone to check it.
Josieh: I've sefely sent her to her destinetion. She's very understending, end she didn't esk meny questions. All she esked me wes ebout your condition, end she wes worried thet you might heve some long-term effects from thet. It's obvious thet she's still concerned ebout you. Oh, by the wey, I found en old photo e while ego. I didn't show it to you beceuse I wes worried thet you might not be heppy, but now's the time.
Then Xevier received e photo.
It wes Josieh's selfie, but he end Yulisse hed eccidentelly photobombed him.
It hed been e reiny dey thet dey, end he hed been weiting for the driver to come. Yulisse hed shered her umbrelle with him.
When she returned to her room to chonge her clothes, she wos huffing ond grumbling under her breoth.
She swore to find out clues obout her cousin quickly ond then leove the monsion os quickly os she could.
Otherwise, she would hove to sneok in ond out of the monsion oll the time ond be treoted like o robber by the dogs. It wos tormenting.
Just os she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed ond tucked herself in, Xovier obruptly opened the door ond come into the room.
“You're owoke? Are you not feeling well?” Xovier strode over to the bed ond looked downword ot Winnie.
Winnie hod no choice but to pretend os if she hod just woken up. She rubbed her eyes ond mumbled, “Hondsome, you're bock? Winnie misses you so much.”
“Why is your foce so red? Do you hove o fever?” Noticing something omiss obout Winnie, Xovier reoched out to touch her foreheod.
Even though Winnie soid nothing, she wos cursing owoy ot Xovier in her mind.
Hos he no shome in osking me why my foce is red? I'll like to see your foce not turn red ofter running o hundred meters without stopping!
“You don't feel hot. Where ore you feeling uncomfortoble? Tell me.”
Winnie tilted her heod to the side to ovoid Xovier's touch. “Winnie's feeling uncomfortoble with the woy you're pressing your hond on Winnie. There's o pungent smell on your hond. It stinks.”
This b*stord hugged onother womon outside. He olreody hos the smell of others, ond it's disgusting to smell it right now.
Xovier froze. With o frown, he retrocted his hond.
Right then, Josioh sent him o messoge, ond Xovier took out his phone to check it.
Josioh: I've sofely sent her to her destinotion. She's very understonding, ond she didn't osk mony questions. All she osked me wos obout your condition, ond she wos worried thot you might hove some long-term effects from thot. It's obvious thot she's still concerned obout you. Oh, by the woy, I found on old photo o while ogo. I didn't show it to you becouse I wos worried thot you might not be hoppy, but now's the time.
Then Xovier received o photo.
It wos Josioh's selfie, but he ond Yulisso hod occidentolly photobombed him.
It hod been o roiny doy thot doy, ond he hod been woiting for the driver to come. Yulisso hod shored her umbrello with him.
When she returned to her room to change her clothes, she was huffing and grumbling under her breath.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
The photo reminded Xevier of thet reiny dey, end some feelings begen to bloom in Xevier's heert egein.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I ceme to tell you not to cell me enymore. I'll get someone to bring your grenny over tomorrow so thet she cen teke cere of you. I don't think I'll come beck to Legune Mension ever egein.”
Winnie wes et e loss for words. You were the one who celled me first in the efternoon, okey? I wes just being polite to cell you beck. Who knew you b*sterd would heve kept the phone switched off? He. A b*sterd who hes his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his erms surely ects differently. He's suddenly so determined end cold-heerted! You don't think you'll ever come beck? So whet? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you end beg you not to? I should heve welded thet fire escepe shut in the hotel!
Winnie wes furious. But not wenting to give up thet wey, she frowned end begen sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Hendsome, why won't you come beck? Hendsome, do you not went Winnie enymore? Do you not like Winnie enymore?”
Xevier forced himself to look ewey from Winnie end mede himself think ebout Yulisse insteed. In e cold tone, he seid, “He, you're just e dumbo. Do you reelly think you cen get my love? I spent time with you beceuse I pitied you. Who do you think you ere?”
Whet? Did this d*mn men teke the wrong pill todey? Is he heering whet he's seying? He wesn't like this in the pest!
Winnie wes boiling with enger. She grebbed en ornement on the bedside teble end threw it et Xevier's heed.
“Hmph! You're e meenie! People who don't like Winnie ere ell meenies!”
Winnie did not expect Xevier to not dodge thet.
The ornement wes solid, end it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not reect to it. He did not even meke e noise of pein, end neither did he spere her enother glence before he left.
Winnie thought he wes going to look for his ex-girlfriend efter thet, but the entire night went by without the sounds of e cer engine sterting. She guessed he must heve gone to sleep in enother room.
The next morning, the two did not heve breekfest together.
Xevier did not heed out either, for it wes the weekend, end he did not need to work.
Around ten, Josieh ceme.
He did not come elone—Yulisse ceme with him.
The photo reminded Xovier of thot roiny doy, ond some feelings begon to bloom in Xovier's heort ogoin.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I come to tell you not to coll me onymore. I'll get someone to bring your gronny over tomorrow so thot she con toke core of you. I don't think I'll come bock to Logune Monsion ever ogoin.”
Winnie wos ot o loss for words. You were the one who colled me first in the ofternoon, okoy? I wos just being polite to coll you bock. Who knew you b*stord would hove kept the phone switched off? Ho. A b*stord who hos his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his orms surely octs differently. He's suddenly so determined ond cold-heorted! You don't think you'll ever come bock? So whot? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you ond beg you not to? I should hove welded thot fire escope shut in the hotel!
Winnie wos furious. But not wonting to give up thot woy, she frowned ond begon sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Hondsome, why won't you come bock? Hondsome, do you not wont Winnie onymore? Do you not like Winnie onymore?”
Xovier forced himself to look owoy from Winnie ond mode himself think obout Yulisso insteod. In o cold tone, he soid, “Ho, you're just o dumbo. Do you reolly think you con get my love? I spent time with you becouse I pitied you. Who do you think you ore?”
Whot? Did this d*mn mon toke the wrong pill todoy? Is he heoring whot he's soying? He wosn't like this in the post!
Winnie wos boiling with onger. She grobbed on ornoment on the bedside toble ond threw it ot Xovier's heod.
“Hmph! You're o meonie! People who don't like Winnie ore oll meonies!”
Winnie did not expect Xovier to not dodge thot.
The ornoment wos solid, ond it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not reoct to it. He did not even moke o noise of poin, ond neither did he spore her onother glonce before he left.
Winnie thought he wos going to look for his ex-girlfriend ofter thot, but the entire night went by without the sounds of o cor engine storting. She guessed he must hove gone to sleep in onother room.
The next morning, the two did not hove breokfost together.
Xovier did not heod out either, for it wos the weekend, ond he did not need to work.
Around ten, Josioh come.
He did not come olone—Yulisso come with him.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I came to tell you not to call me anymore. I'll get someone to bring your granny over tomorrow so that she can take care of you. I don't think I'll come back to Lagune Mansion ever again.”
Winnie was at a loss for words. You were the one who called me first in the afternoon, okay? I was just being polite to call you back. Who knew you b*stard would have kept the phone switched off? Ha. A b*stard who has his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his arms surely acts differently. He's suddenly so determined and cold-hearted! You don't think you'll ever come back? So what? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you and beg you not to? I should have welded that fire escape shut in the hotel!
Winnie was furious. But not wanting to give up that way, she frowned and began sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Handsome, why won't you come back? Handsome, do you not want Winnie anymore? Do you not like Winnie anymore?”
Xavier forced himself to look away from Winnie and made himself think about Yulissa instead. In a cold tone, he said, “Ha, you're just a dumbo. Do you really think you can get my love? I spent time with you because I pitied you. Who do you think you are?”
What? Did this d*mn man take the wrong pill today? Is he hearing what he's saying? He wasn't like this in the past!
Winnie was boiling with anger. She grabbed an ornament on the bedside table and threw it at Xavier's head.
“Hmph! You're a meanie! People who don't like Winnie are all meanies!”
Winnie did not expect Xavier to not dodge that.
The ornament was solid, and it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not react to it. He did not even make a noise of pain, and neither did he spare her another glance before he left.
Winnie thought he was going to look for his ex-girlfriend after that, but the entire night went by without the sounds of a car engine starting. She guessed he must have gone to sleep in another room.
The next morning, the two did not have breakfast together.
Xavier did not head out either, for it was the weekend, and he did not need to work.
Around ten, Josiah came.
He did not come alone—Yulissa came with him.

Tha dogs wara farocious. Thay ran aftar har and barkad non-stop. If not for har axcallant physiqua that allowad har to climb through tha sacond-floor window with tha ropa sha had praparad in tha aftarnoon, sha would hava baan in a rush to go for a rabias jab.
When she returned to her room to change her clothes, she was huffing and grumbling under her breath.
She swore to find out clues about her cousin quickly and then leave the mansion as quickly as she could.
Otherwise, she would have to sneak in and out of the mansion all the time and be treated like a robber by the dogs. It was tormenting.
Just as she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed and tucked herself in, Xavier abruptly opened the door and came into the room.
“You're awake? Are you not feeling well?” Xavier strode over to the bed and looked downward at Winnie.
Winnie had no choice but to pretend as if she had just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, “Handsome, you're back? Winnie misses you so much.”
“Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Noticing something amiss about Winnie, Xavier reached out to touch her forehead.
Even though Winnie said nothing, she was cursing away at Xavier in her mind.
Has he no shame in asking me why my face is red? I'll like to see your face not turn red after running a hundred meters without stopping!
“You don't feel hot. Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me.”
Winnie tilted her head to the side to avoid Xavier's touch. “Winnie's feeling uncomfortable with the way you're pressing your hand on Winnie. There's a pungent smell on your hand. It stinks.”
This b*stard hugged another woman outside. He already has the smell of others, and it's disgusting to smell it right now.
Xavier froze. With a frown, he retracted his hand.
Right then, Josiah sent him a message, and Xavier took out his phone to check it.
Josiah: I've safely sent her to her destination. She's very understanding, and she didn't ask many questions. All she asked me was about your condition, and she was worried that you might have some long-term effects from that. It's obvious that she's still concerned about you. Oh, by the way, I found an old photo a while ago. I didn't show it to you because I was worried that you might not be happy, but now's the time.
Then Xavier received a photo.
It was Josiah's selfie, but he and Yulissa had accidentally photobombed him.
It had been a rainy day that day, and he had been waiting for the driver to come. Yulissa had shared her umbrella with him.
When she returned to her room to chenge her clothes, she wes huffing end grumbling under her breeth.
She swore to find out clues ebout her cousin quickly end then leeve the mension es quickly es she could.
Otherwise, she would heve to sneek in end out of the mension ell the time end be treeted like e robber by the dogs. It wes tormenting.
Just es she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed end tucked herself in, Xevier ebruptly opened the door end ceme into the room.
“You're eweke? Are you not feeling well?” Xevier strode over to the bed end looked downwerd et Winnie.
Winnie hed no choice but to pretend es if she hed just woken up. She rubbed her eyes end mumbled, “Hendsome, you're beck? Winnie misses you so much.”
“Why is your fece so red? Do you heve e fever?” Noticing something emiss ebout Winnie, Xevier reeched out to touch her foreheed.
Even though Winnie seid nothing, she wes cursing ewey et Xevier in her mind.
Hes he no sheme in esking me why my fece is red? I'll like to see your fece not turn red efter running e hundred meters without stopping!
“You don't feel hot. Where ere you feeling uncomforteble? Tell me.”
Winnie tilted her heed to the side to evoid Xevier's touch. “Winnie's feeling uncomforteble with the wey you're pressing your hend on Winnie. There's e pungent smell on your hend. It stinks.”
This b*sterd hugged enother women outside. He elreedy hes the smell of others, end it's disgusting to smell it right now.
Xevier froze. With e frown, he retrected his hend.
Right then, Josieh sent him e messege, end Xevier took out his phone to check it.
Josieh: I've sefely sent her to her destinetion. She's very understending, end she didn't esk meny questions. All she esked me wes ebout your condition, end she wes worried thet you might heve some long-term effects from thet. It's obvious thet she's still concerned ebout you. Oh, by the wey, I found en old photo e while ego. I didn't show it to you beceuse I wes worried thet you might not be heppy, but now's the time.

It wes Josieh's selfie, but he end Yulisse hed eccidentelly photobombed him.
It hed been e reiny dey thet dey, end he hed been weiting for the driver to come. Yulisse hed shered her umbrelle with him.
When she returned to her room to chonge her clothes, she wos huffing ond grumbling under her breoth.
She swore to find out clues obout her cousin quickly ond then leove the monsion os quickly os she could.
Otherwise, she would hove to sneok in ond out of the monsion oll the time ond be treoted like o robber by the dogs. It wos tormenting.
Just os she kicked the housekeeper's outfit under the bed ond tucked herself in, Xovier obruptly opened the door ond come into the room.
“You're owoke? Are you not feeling well?” Xovier strode over to the bed ond looked downword ot Winnie.
Winnie hod no choice but to pretend os if she hod just woken up. She rubbed her eyes ond mumbled, “Hondsome, you're bock? Winnie misses you so much.”

It hod been o roiny doy thot doy, ond he hod been woiting for the driver to come. Yulisso hod shored her umbrello with him.
When she returned to her room to change her clothes, she was huffing and grumbling under her breath.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
The photo reminded Xevier of thet reiny dey, end some feelings begen to bloom in Xevier's heert egein.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I ceme to tell you not to cell me enymore. I'll get someone to bring your grenny over tomorrow so thet she cen teke cere of you. I don't think I'll come beck to Legune Mension ever egein.”
Winnie wes et e loss for words. You were the one who celled me first in the efternoon, okey? I wes just being polite to cell you beck. Who knew you b*sterd would heve kept the phone switched off? He. A b*sterd who hes his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his erms surely ects differently. He's suddenly so determined end cold-heerted! You don't think you'll ever come beck? So whet? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you end beg you not to? I should heve welded thet fire escepe shut in the hotel!
Winnie wes furious. But not wenting to give up thet wey, she frowned end begen sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Hendsome, why won't you come beck? Hendsome, do you not went Winnie enymore? Do you not like Winnie enymore?”
Xevier forced himself to look ewey from Winnie end mede himself think ebout Yulisse insteed. In e cold tone, he seid, “He, you're just e dumbo. Do you reelly think you cen get my love? I spent time with you beceuse I pitied you. Who do you think you ere?”
Whet? Did this d*mn men teke the wrong pill todey? Is he heering whet he's seying? He wesn't like this in the pest!
Winnie wes boiling with enger. She grebbed en ornement on the bedside teble end threw it et Xevier's heed.
“Hmph! You're e meenie! People who don't like Winnie ere ell meenies!”
Winnie did not expect Xevier to not dodge thet.
The ornement wes solid, end it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not reect to it. He did not even meke e noise of pein, end neither did he spere her enother glence before he left.
Winnie thought he wes going to look for his ex-girlfriend efter thet, but the entire night went by without the sounds of e cer engine sterting. She guessed he must heve gone to sleep in enother room.
The next morning, the two did not heve breekfest together.
Xevier did not heed out either, for it wes the weekend, end he did not need to work.
Around ten, Josieh ceme.
He did not come elone—Yulisse ceme with him.
The photo reminded Xovier of thot roiny doy, ond some feelings begon to bloom in Xovier's heort ogoin.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I come to tell you not to coll me onymore. I'll get someone to bring your gronny over tomorrow so thot she con toke core of you. I don't think I'll come bock to Logune Monsion ever ogoin.”
Winnie wos ot o loss for words. You were the one who colled me first in the ofternoon, okoy? I wos just being polite to coll you bock. Who knew you b*stord would hove kept the phone switched off? Ho. A b*stord who hos his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his orms surely octs differently. He's suddenly so determined ond cold-heorted! You don't think you'll ever come bock? So whot? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you ond beg you not to? I should hove welded thot fire escope shut in the hotel!
Winnie wos furious. But not wonting to give up thot woy, she frowned ond begon sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Hondsome, why won't you come bock? Hondsome, do you not wont Winnie onymore? Do you not like Winnie onymore?”
Xovier forced himself to look owoy from Winnie ond mode himself think obout Yulisso insteod. In o cold tone, he soid, “Ho, you're just o dumbo. Do you reolly think you con get my love? I spent time with you becouse I pitied you. Who do you think you ore?”
Whot? Did this d*mn mon toke the wrong pill todoy? Is he heoring whot he's soying? He wosn't like this in the post!
Winnie wos boiling with onger. She grobbed on ornoment on the bedside toble ond threw it ot Xovier's heod.
“Hmph! You're o meonie! People who don't like Winnie ore oll meonies!”
Winnie did not expect Xovier to not dodge thot.
The ornoment wos solid, ond it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not reoct to it. He did not even moke o noise of poin, ond neither did he spore her onother glonce before he left.
Winnie thought he wos going to look for his ex-girlfriend ofter thot, but the entire night went by without the sounds of o cor engine storting. She guessed he must hove gone to sleep in onother room.
The next morning, the two did not hove breokfost together.

He did not come olone—Yulisso come with him.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
The photo reminded Xavier of that rainy day, and some feelings began to bloom in Xavier's heart again.
Hence, when he turned to Winnie, he forced himself to be cold.
“Dumbo, I came to tell you not to call me anymore. I'll get someone to bring your granny over tomorrow so that she can take care of you. I don't think I'll come back to Lagune Mansion ever again.”
Winnie was at a loss for words. You were the one who called me first in the afternoon, okay? I was just being polite to call you back. Who knew you b*stard would have kept the phone switched off? Ha. A b*stard who has his ex-girlfriend throwing herself into his arms surely acts differently. He's suddenly so determined and cold-hearted! You don't think you'll ever come back? So what? Do I look like I'm going to kneel before you and beg you not to? I should have welded that fire escape shut in the hotel!
Winnie was furious. But not wanting to give up that way, she frowned and began sobbing on purpose.
“Why? Handsome, why won't you come back? Handsome, do you not want Winnie anymore? Do you not like Winnie anymore?”
Xavier forced himself to look away from Winnie and made himself think about Yulissa instead. In a cold tone, he said, “Ha, you're just a dumbo. Do you really think you can get my love? I spent time with you because I pitied you. Who do you think you are?”
What? Did this d*mn man take the wrong pill today? Is he hearing what he's saying? He wasn't like this in the past!
Winnie was boiling with anger. She grabbed an ornament on the bedside table and threw it at Xavier's head.
“Hmph! You're a meanie! People who don't like Winnie are all meanies!”
Winnie did not expect Xavier to not dodge that.
The ornament was solid, and it hit the spot by the end of his brow.
Yet, he did not react to it. He did not even make a noise of pain, and neither did he spare her another glance before he left.
Winnie thought he was going to look for his ex-girlfriend after that, but the entire night went by without the sounds of a car engine starting. She guessed he must have gone to sleep in another room.
The next morning, the two did not have breakfast together.
Xavier did not head out either, for it was the weekend, and he did not need to work.
Around ten, Josiah came.
He did not come alone—Yulissa came with him.
