Chapter 422
It was an almost insignificant gesture, but Xavier could see that he had managed to elicit a guilty response out of Stella, and was therefore grinning broadly. “So you do… And here I was wondering how you were strutting around without knowing who Guinevere is.”
Stella said nothing in return. Pursing her lips, she reached for a tissue to wipe the water splashed over the table. Xavier simply watched as she worked, having no intention of helping her at all. “To be honest, I have nothing to say about this since it’s normal for men to have an affair. Still, I could tell that you know enough to listen to advice, so I’m telling you now, don’t waste too much effort on Weston…”
“Are you trying to tell her what to do, when you can’t do the same to your own woman?” someone growled from the doorway just then.

Noticing her unnatural response, Weston’s gaze cooled immediately, and he promptly turned toward Xavier,

Even so, she promptly turned away from him, unwilling to listen to the men’s conversation. “You shouldn’t be here,” Weston growled right then. “Don’t force me to make you leave.” “Why do you always get so short-tempered when it comes to this lady?” It was only then that Xavier rose to his feet reluctantly, and sighed at length as if seeing through Weston. “Do you even know where I’ve been?”
