Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 83

"You really need to be more careful." Xavier carefully tended to Natasha's wound.

Their faces were so close that it made Natasha pause. She couldn't help but ask, "You say you're not looking for a girlfriend, and you just follow me around conducting research every day. If you end up single forever, will you blame me?"

"Don't worry. If I end up with no one to care for me, I'll just cling to you and never leave." Xavier joked as he carried the topic further.

Natasha, on the other hand, was genuinely thinking of finding him a girlfriend.

"So? What's your type? You can't just stay glued to me forever," she remarked while eating.

"Give me a break. You're not even fully recovered yet, and you're already trying to play matchmaker?" he responded.

Xavier had always kept someone in his heart. However, he knew the two of them getting together would never be possible in this lifetime. Thus, he'd rather grow old alone than spend a lifetime with someone he didn't truly love.

"Instead of worrying about me, maybe you should worry about yourself," he said sharply.

To him, Natasha was the one buried in the research facility all day, practically cut off from the rest of the world. He only said that because he cared as a friend.

Suddenly, Natasha sat up straight and asked, "What do you think of Zachary?"

Talking about Zachary made Natasha feel the distance between them. After all, he was a man with assets in the hundreds of millions.

"Anyone but Zachary," Xavier replied firmly.

He had seen it clearly. Every time Zachary was around, Natasha ended up getting hurt.

"I don't think he's that bad," Natasha murmured.
