Josiah couldn’t help but raise his voice when Xavier didn’t respond to him. “Hey, Xavier! Did you hear
me? I need you to come over now.”
At the same time, Xavier knew that Winnie was ringing the doorbell outside.
After giving it some thought, Xavier replied to Josiah, “I know.”
With that, he hung up the phone and put it on the couch.
Outside, Winnie furrowed his brows, for she had waited for quite a long time.
Xavier was the one who asked me to come. Why does it seem that he’s not at home?
Winnie looked at her watch. If this godd*mn Xavier doesn’t open the door in a minute, I’ll demolish his
house!
Just as she wanted to press the doorbell again, Xavier opened the door.
Xavier’s formal suit perfectly wrapped his muscular body. At that moment, Winnie couldn’t help but feel
he was the definition of perfection.
He looks handsome… but it’s getting late.
Winnie quickly withdrew her gaze of admiration and asked, “Why are you wearing a formal suit at this
hour when you’re at home? Are you planning to go out?”
“Nope.” Xavier opened the door and stood sideways to let Winnie enter. “I want to see my wife. I
haven’t had a good chat with her for quite some time.”
Winnie stopped and turned around. “Are you referring to your wife who’s living downstairs?”
After closing the door gently, Xavier stared at Winnie fixedly. “You’re right.”
“Great! You still remember your wife.” Winnie gave Xavier a thumbs-up, then let out a sigh. “Anyway,
please have the medicine, lest you go crazy and scare your wife.”
Xavier flashed her a faint smile. “Yes, Doctor.”
At the sight of his seducing smile, Winnie almost couldn’t resist her desire to beat him up.
How can Xavier bar me from hugging and kissing him but put on a seducing smile? How immoral!
Winnie ignored Xavier and continued walking into the house with the medicine in her hand.
When Winnie stood at the door earlier, she realized Xavier’s house was dimly lit.
At that time, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, some people preferred a darker
environment.
However, after she walked down the aisle and arrived in the living room, she was surprised.
The marble floor and the chandelier made up of many tiny crystals on the ceiling were glimmering amid
the darkness. At that moment, the living room appeared to be covered with extravagant and dazzling
small diamonds.
Besides, a table with candles was placed in the middle. Apparently, Xavier had prepared a candlelight
dinner.
Winnie was puzzled.
Didn’t he say he wanted to look for Rachel? Why did he ask me out for dinner, then?
Isn’t the romantic candlelight dinner prepared for his wife? To Xavier, I’m supposed to be Dr. Garland,
am I not?
Winnie frowned and turned around to look at Xavier.
Before Winnie could ask Xavier any questions, he strode toward her.
“How is it? Do you like it?” Xavier asked Winnie under the dim light.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis obsidian eyes that reflected the light were as mesmerizing as the dazzling marble tiles and crystals
in the living room.
Although Winnie silently admitted that Xavier had somehow mesmerized her, her mind was filled with
doubts.
“Xavier, what do you mean by asking me those questions? Are you telling me you’ve prepared
everything for me? Then tell me, who I am to you?”
“Shush!” Xavier didn’t respond to Winnie’s questions but grabbed the medicine bottle from her.
The medicine was still hot, so he should only drink it when it became colder.
However, Xavier got increasingly impatient, so much so that he even hoped to skip the candlelight
dinner.
I was supposed to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner with Dumbo first.
Well… I guess it won’t affect much if I reverse the order.
With that thought, Xavier raised his head and gulped down the bitter medicine.
Not knowing what Xavier was up to, Winnie could only frown and wait for him silently at the side.
Suddenly, Xavier threw the bottle of medicine aside and leaned toward Winnie.
He wrapped one of his hands around her waist and held the back of her head with the other.
As Xavier leaned closer, Winnie widened her eyes and shouted, “What are you doing?”
In response, Xavier gave her a ferocious kiss laced with a hint of bitterness.
Only when they were about to suffocate did Xavier release Winnie.
Winnie gasped for air and scolded in a slightly hoarse voice, “Do you know what you’re doing? Can you
put out the fire that you’ve caused?”
Xavier did not expect Winnie to respond as such. He found it amusing but managed to hold back his
laughter.
Then, he frowned and deliberately put on a stoic expression as though he was chaste.
“Oh? What do you mean by fire, Dr. Garland? Can any of your body parts be on fire?” Xavier tightened
his arms around Winnie as he spoke.
Winnie rolled her eyes at him. “Are you aware I’m Dr. Garland now? What was on your mind when you
kissed me? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t lay a finger on any women except your wife?”
Wrapping his arms around Winnie’s waist tightly, Xavier responded in a deep voice, “Yes, I love my
wife. I didn’t want to betray her, but you’ve been seducing me again and again. What’s worse, you
always stopped halfway when you almost succeeded. How can anyone resist it? You know I can’t
touch my wife because she’s a dumbo. But I’m a young man in my prime, after all. Do you know you’re
like a fatal spell that allures me? I’ll feel uncomfortable and get mad if you don’t see me for a day. What
should I do, Dr. Garland? I seem to have been poisoned, and you’re my only antidote. Why don’t you
show me mercy and save me?”
Winnie increasingly thought that something was wrong as she listened to Xavier.
Judging from his voice and expression, Xavier seems to be flirting with me instead of talking to me
nicely.
Frowning deeply, Winnie grasped Xavier’s neck. “Something is wrong with you, you b*stard!”
She was a little hard, but it did not make Xavier feel uncomfortable.
Xavier chuckled. “Oh? What is wrong with me, Dumbo?”
Winnie understood everything the moment she heard the word Dumbo.
“D*mn you, Xavier! You’ve been fooling me, haven’t you? You even called me Dr. Garland when in fact
you knew who I was all this while, didn’t you?”
“Of course.” Xavier’s smile and desire faded slightly when he noticed that Winnie was irritated.
Xavier loved Winnie so much that satisfying his lust was not of the utmost importance.
“Well, you took a few pictures and even put a note to remind me all the time that you’re Dr. Garland.”
“F*ck you!” Winnie gave Xavier a punch. “Why didn’t you tell me? Do you think it’s funny to pretend to
have lost your memory and hide it from me? God gave you a mouth for a reason!”
Winnie was livid. She gave Xavier two slaps once she finished.
Although Xavier’s face hurt, his heart hurt more when he saw her palm.
He grabbed Winnie’s hand and flashed her an apologetic smile. “All right, stop hitting me. Your hand is
getting red. I didn’t tell you immediately because I have my own reason. But my concerns are gone
now, so I wish to explain everything to you tonight. But I think I have messed up and made you angry.
Will you give me one more chance to explain it to you?”
Having vented her anger after punching him and seeing that he had also apologized sincerely, Winnie
decided not to make things difficult for Xavier.
“Go ahead. I’m all ears.”
“Okay…” With that, Xavier began to explain everything to Winnie briefly.
Once he was done, he couldn’t help but tighten his arms around Winnie and caress her. “What do you
say? Can you forgive me?”
Winnie relaxed and threw herself into Xavier’s arms, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly.
She teased, “I wasn’t going to forgive you, but you set up the place so romantically that I have to force
myself to forgive you.”
Xavier lowered his head and kissed Winnie’s forehead gently. “Really? Does that mean I can do
anything I want to you if it gets more romantic?”
“Huh?” Winnie looked up and bit his chin. “Do you think you have the right to do anything you want to
me?”
Xavier chuckled and asked her back, “How about you doing anything you want to me?”
Winnie put on a seemingly grim face and nodded. “I think it works.”
“Remember what you said!” Instantly, the desire in Xavier’s eyes was reignited.
He scooped Winnie up and strode toward the master bedroom with her in his arms.
Once Xavier opened the door, Winnie saw a room full of flowers.
“Do you like it?” Xavier asked in a deep voice and gently put Winnie down on the soft bed.
Winnie’s eyes sparkled. At that moment, she could see nothing else but Xavier.
How should I respond to him?
With a smile, Winnie turned around and pressed Xavier against the bed.
“I like you more.”
As they kissed passionately in the sea of flowers, Xavier’s phone was ringing non-stop in the living
room.
Winnie held Xavier’s moving head and reminded him, “Your phone is ringing. Someone is looking for
you.”
At that juncture, Xavier could not care less about any trivial matters. “Ignore it. Let’s continue our
business.”
“Are you sure? It’s been ringing so many times. Someone might be looking for you for an urgent
matter.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What kind of urgent matter could it be? Don’t worry.” Xavier was determined to immerse himself in the
romantic moment with Winnie.
As soon as Xavier finished, the phone stopped ringing.
When Winnie thought it was all right, her phone rang the next second.
It rang over and over again.
Winnie had no choice but to check it out.
Upon seeing the caller’s name, she furrowed her brows and said, “It’s Josiah. I think he called me
because you didn’t pick up your phone. There must be something urgent.”
Xavier knew it was Josiah and why he made the phone calls.
Despite that, he didn’t want to care about him.
“Just let him wait!” Xavier said in a hoarse voice. He grabbed Winnie’s phone and put it aside.
Winnie wasn’t as turned on after the series of interruptions.
Not in the mood to continue, she pushed Xavier and said, “Get up. I think he must have something
urgent to tell you.”
Xavier ignored Winnie’s words and grabbed her arms.
However, since he didn’t exert much force on his grip, Winnie broke free easily.
Seeing that Xavier still wanted to hug her, Winnie took the belt off his trousers and tied his hands up to
restrain him.
Then, she answered Josiah’s call.
“Hello, it’s me. What is it? Yes, I’m with him. He has explained everything to me. What? He promised
you a long time ago? All right. We’ll be there right away.”
After the call ended, Xavier had untied himself and was wearing his shirt.
Winnie rolled her eyes at him. “What on earth are you doing? Josiah said you knew the analysis report
of the medicine is out. He said it was urgent, and you agreed to collect it from him. How could you
spend time seducing me instead?”
Xavier gazed at Winnie silently for a while, looking aggrieved.
Moments later, he sighed and said, “Because I missed you so much.”
Winnie couldn’t argue with him, for she missed him too.
She tidied Xavier’s hair and said softly, “Let’s go and deal with important business first. Since it’s
related to your health, you should prioritize it.”
“Okay.” Xavier pulled Winnie into his embrace and thought, In my heart, you’re my top priority.
They quickly headed toward the hospital.
Josiah had wanted to tease Xavier for his no-show but decided not to do it upon seeing Xavier’s grim
expression.
With a stern look, Josiah said to Xavier and Winnie, “Come with me. I have something to show you.”
Quickly, he gave Winnie and Xavier the report.
Xavier wasn’t in the mood to read it. “Just tell us the results.”
Josiah took a sip of his coffee and said, “The liquid in the bottle from Yolanda’s room has the same
element as the poison we obtained from Yulissa. Also, the same poison was found on the needles in
her acupuncture kit.”
Xavier narrowed his eyes. “In other words, Yolanda knows Yulissa, and they are in cahoots. Am I
right?”
