Henry watched the two figures depart and, puzzled, asked Joshua, Joshua, could Xylia get into danger? That man seems like trouble”

Joshua lowered his gaze and looked at him askance, choosing not to respond to his question but instead shifting the topic. “You know, you speak too much when you two talk.”

Henry was silent for a long moment before saying, “What do you mean?”

“You know what I mean.” Joshua felt jealous.

Even someone as ordinarily careless as Henry sensed that something was amiss at that moment.

He approached Joshua with a smile and, with gossipy intent, said, “I was wondering how come someone as busy as you is so invested in my startup–connecting us and coming along to meet my potential partner? Turns out, my business partner is actually your crush!”

Joshua did not deny it. “Glad you know it.”

Henry, now interested, asked, “Why don’t you go out and take a look? That man clearly has ulterior motives.”

Henry pointed at the two people outside the glass window by the entrance.

His initial impression of Connor was extremely negative. Not only did Connor speak in a mocking and sarcastic manner, but he also threatened women.

Henry thought that he looked like a coward.

Joshua looked at the two people outside the door, his gaze growing somber.

He remained silent, neither responding to Henry nor intending to go after Xylia.

Xylia and Connor were facing each other at the entrance of the restaurant.

She deliberately selected a location that was relatively quiet and visible to others to prevent Connor from losing control again, as he did that night on the cruise.

She looked at Connor with an indifferent face. “Go ahead, say it. What exactly is the matter?”

Connor asked, “Did Sonny come to see you that day?”

Xylia nodded. “That’s right. What’s wrong?”

Connor frowned at her and, in a lecturing tone, said to Xylia, ‘No matter what happens, Sonny is still your child. You should not project all the conflicts between us onto him. He came to you because he still sees you as his mother. You ought to care for him, not drive him away.”

Xylia had originally assumed that he had something important to tell her and didn’t expect that.

She gave a light laugh and said, “The divorce agreement clearly states that custody of Sonny belongs to you. I have severed all legal ties with both you and your son. Surely you have not forgotten this?”

“Nylia, must you truly be so ruthless?” Connor nearly roared those words out.

The warmth in Xylia’s eyes faded little by little.

Her voice also grew increasingly indifferent. “Connor, I hope you understand one thing: our relationship is completely over. From now on, even if we meet, we should be strangers–not repeatedly pestering me as you

have done.”

“Me? Pestering?” Connor was out of breath, his chest heaving markedly.

His voice attracted passing pedestrians, whose gaze would occasionally turn in this direction.

He lowered his voice, pointed at Joshua in the restaurant, and spoke to Xylia, “Take a look at the life you’re living. You sleep with one man after another–don’t you find that disgusting? You run a failing studio and still need the Garcia family’s chauffeur to help you. Are you really this despicable?”

Xylia could not help but slap Connor. “Watch your language! My current way of life is none of your concern. If you continue to defame me or my friends, I won’t hold back!”

Connor’s head was tilted to the side, and his ears were ringing.

By the time he regained his composure, Xylia had already returned to the restaurant.

Through the glass window, he could see that Xylia had already composed herself and was seated opposite Henry.

Perhaps out of concern, Henry asked a few questions. Xylia shook her head to indicate that she was fine and immediately picked up her fork again.

Joshua leaned back against the chair, giving his head a devil–may–care tilt to the side, his gaze settling on Connor outside the glass window.

A wicked smile curled at his lips as he traced a throat–slitting gesture across his neck, then arched his eyebrows.

Has fully assumed the demeanor of a victor.

Connor clenched his fists tightly, thinking. The lousy chauffeur clearly saw Xylia slap me, which is why he’s now provoking me

“Mr. Ford, I apologize for having kept you waiting.” The person Connor arranged to meet has arrived.

He turned to look at Xavier and stopped him before Xavier entered the restaurant.

“Let’s eat somewhere else.” With that, Connor turned and walked straight away.

He was thinking that, after eight years of marriage, she kept seeing all kinds of people after their divorce. If word got out, he would be disgraced.

He silently vowed to himself to get Xylia back from Joshua, that mere chauffeur.

Xavier did not know why Connor suddenly changed his mind, but seeing his serious expression, she did not dare to ask more and closely followed him away from the entrance of the restaurant.

After the meal, Xylia bid farewell to Henry.

As for Joshua, he followed Xylia.

Xylia lowered her head to get an Uber on her phone. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Joshua, who had always been beside her, and she frowned slightly. “Are you not leaving?”

Joshua did not answer but responded with a question. “Where are you going?”

Xylia put away her phone and turned to face Joshua. “Mr. Garcia, as the current chairman of Garcia Group. you must be very busy every day, right?”

Joshua nodded. “I’m very busy, but right now, I’m not busy.”

His smile remained unchanged, and he was thick–skinned.

Xylia was utterly unable to cope with him in this state.

She stood there, stunned and frowning, unable to ask a single question.

Joshua, with a broad smile, glanced at the sunlight, now less glaring, and then looked at Xylia, whose face appeared slightly haggard. “Are you going back to the studio?”

Xylia glared at him. “I need to go back and tell Josie the news about the collaboration.”

“You could just say this over the phone–do you really need to go all the way there?” Joshua asked.

Xylia simply said, “There are many tasks in the studio.”
