Xavier wanted to shake her hand off, but when he saw Winnie standing at the door, he changed his mind and let Yulissa touch him.
Yulissa gently touched his wound, and she felt bad for him. “Does it hurt? You have a wound here.”
“No, it doesn’t.” Xavier massaged the spot between his brows and sat up.
He had wanted to ignore Winnie. However, she was standing at the door, so he couldn’t help but glance at her.
Xavier’s expression turned solemn when he realized he was looking at her. “Why did you bring her here?” he asked Josiah.
Josiah was amused. “She said she smashed something against your head last night and thought you might be dead. She wanted to see if you’re still alive!”
“Is that so?” Xavier shot Winnie a look.
I only said something harsh last night, and she’s already wishing for me to die. She doesn’t look like she’s regretting her actions. It’s all right, though. After all, she’s dumb, so she knows nothing. The woman who truly cares for me is Yulissa! I can tell that she’s a sincere woman.
Winnie was annoyed when she saw the interaction between Xavier and Yulissa. She giggled sheepishly and said, “That’s right. Winnie came to see if you’ve died, Handsome. If you die, there’ll be a banquet!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could you say that? You could’ve injured his eyes!” Yulissa choked out.
Xavier furrowed his brows when he heard that. “Save your breath, Yulissa. Don’t waste your time on a dumbass. I’m going to take a bath, so just wait for me outside.”
Yulissa sobbed and wiped the tears off of her face. “I’ll run a bath for you.”
“That’s not necessary.” A sense of warmth welled up in Xavier’s heart, and he held Yulissa’s hand. “I’m just going to take a quick shower.”
“Then… do you have clothes to change into in the guest room? Should I fetch you some clothes from the master bedroom?”
“Sure.” Xavier nodded. Unlike that dumbo, she’s what a wife should be like. ”Oh, since you’re all here, let me introduce her to you.” Xavier was still holding Yulissa’s hand. “This is Winnie. There’s something wrong with her brain, so she has the mind of a child. She just somehow got married into the family. When the time is right, I’m going to divorce her. We’re just husband and wife on paper. I really hope you don’t mind. Grandpa wants us to take care of her during this time, so just don’t be bothered with a fool like her.”
Yulissa held Xavier’s hand tightly and uttered gently, “I understand why you’re doing this, Xavier. You need to look after the company’s reputation. I’m happy as long as we have each other in our hearts.”
Josiah was at a loss for words. God, that’s so cheesy!
Winnie, on the other hand, was disgusted. I’m going to puke any moment now. Must they do this in public? Why can’t they just do this privately? Also, why must he keep calling me a dumbass?
Obviously, Yulissa wasn’t done with her act.
