“No, I’m still wet…” Isabella tried to stop Xavier, but the moment she spoke, he let go–and they crashed into each other. The momentum brought him down with her, his body pressing fully against hers.
His breath was scorching. Isabella clutched the towel tight. “Xavier, what are you trying to do now?”

“No, I’m still wet…” Isabella tried to stop Xavier, but the moment she spoke, he let go–and they crashed into each other. The momentum brought him down with her, his body pressing fully against hers.
His breath was scorching. Isabella clutched the towel tight. “Xavier, what are you trying to do now?”
‘Something with you.” He braced himself with one arm and tilted her chin up with the other. “But wanting something doesn’t mean I can have it, does it?”
A tremor went through Isabella. Her whole body felt like it was on fire. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”
‘Isabella, I used to think you’d be the one person who’d always stay.” A faint, mocking smile tugged at Xavier’s lips.
t was as if he was answering her–or maybe he was just too out of it to know what he was saying.
sabella had had enough. She shoved him away, not even caring that her towel slipped off, and rushed back into the bathroom, itterly humiliated.
The water hit her skin again, and only then did her pounding heart finally settle.
But the image of him just now kept replaying in her mind.
hat hopeless look in his eyes… it almost made her feel like he actually cared.
Suddenly, the bathroom door burst open. Isabella was startled.
Xavier stumbled in and dropped to his knees in front of the toilet, vomiting violently.
sabella stood there watching him, her thoughts a tangled mess.
She had never seen Xavier like this.
rom the moment they met, she knew Xavier was an extreme perfectionist. He would never let anyone see him fail.
Even if he broke a bone, he wouldn’t cry out in front of another person.
When he finished, he didn’t look at her. He just staggered out, his tall frame unsteady.
So he hasn’t completely lost it.
sabella finished her shower quickly, but when she opened the door, Xavier was sitting right outside,
He was leaning against the wall, one long leg bent, the other stretched out–his broad frame making the hallway seem almost too
small.
“Xavier…” She called his name a few times, but he didn’t respond. His eyes were shut, his face flushed.
She reached over and touched his forehead. It was burning.
Harry had said his body couldn’t handle anything too intense right now.
Isabella quickly took his wrist to check his pulse, but the moment she moved, he pulled her into his arms.

She started to push him away, but then she heard it–a voice so low it caught her off guard. “Do you know I missed you so much these past five years…”
Isabella froze for a few seconds, then quickly pulled back.
Xavier was too drunk to resist. When she pushed him, he just tipped over onto the floor. His breathing was shallow, like he had passed out.
I didn’t imagine that, did I?
Xavier actually said he missed me.
A cold, heartless man like him, missing someone? And that someone is me?
How ridiculous.
After a long moment, she finally asked, her voice quiet, “Xavier, what did you mean by that?”
But Xavier wasn’t going to answer her. It was more like she was asking herself.
He said he thought I’d always be by his side.
I thought the same thing.
Back in those three years with Xavier, Isabella had put him first in everything. She treated him like her faith, her boss, her ideal.
Even after they got married, when he kept his distance and barely came home, she still believed they’d lean on each other like tha for a lifetime.
Before she married him, she’d already made up her mind–if Xavier’s world was cold and empty, then she’d let go of all the warmt and excitement in the world for him.
Thinking back, he wasn’t completely heartless.
When they quietly got married, Stanley found out and came to Moore Group looking for trouble, but he was turned away at the
door.
Isabella only heard about it later.
