Winnie wanted to tell Xavier that she understood, but the man did not give her a chance to do so.
“One more thing. Send me your location so that I can have Louis arrange security details for you,” added Xavier.
At that point, Winnie could not help but chuckle out of amusement. “You’re very long-winded. Do you know that, Handsome?”
“I’m just worried about you—” replied Xavier helplessly, but before he could finish his sentence, Winnie interrupted him by blowing him a kiss over the video call.
After that, the woman waved her hand at Xavier. “I have to go. Bye!”
Winnie then shut her computer down and hurried out.
On the other side, Xavier stared blankly at his computer screen for a while before letting out a chuckle. My Dumbo just gave me another kiss.
The man was so elated that he was on cloud nine.
At that moment, there was nothing he wanted more than to fly over to Winnie so he could embrace the woman and give her a big wet kiss. I don’t want an air kiss; I want to kiss her for real!
There was no one in sight when Winnie finally reached the park she agreed to meet Jacinta at.
She was just about to contact Jacinta when she got a call from Xavier. “What is it? I’m busy right now!”
“You haven’t found your grandmother yet? Don’t worry. I got Louis to arrange two bodyguards for you. Let them help you out,” suggested Xavier over the phone.
Before Winnie could turn the man down, she saw two familiar bodyguards waving at her from not too far away.
“Okay, I see them. Thank you for helping.” She was moved by his act of kindness.
“Don’t mention it. You don’t have to be so polite to me, Winnie.”
The woman did not have time to chit-chat, so she quickly ended the phone call.
As soon as Winnie hung up on Xavier, Jacinta called and told the woman that Yara and Hamish had brought her to a cafe nearby.
Hence, Winnie hurried over to the establishment mentioned along with her two bodyguards.
It did not take long for her to reach Jacinta and the others.
Yara quickly approached Winnie the second she saw the latter walk in.
She tried to grab Winnie’s hand but was immediately stopped by the bodyguards.
Unsure what the fuss was about, Yara froze for a moment.
“What’s going on, Winnie? Can’t your mother talk to you for a bit?”
“So it was you who brought Granny here. I was wondering who she went away with.” Winnie pretended to be dumb in front of Yara before turning to glare at the two bodyguards. “This is not acceptable. You can’t treat my mother this way.”
“Yeah, that’s right!” Yara was relieved when she saw Winnie was still as dumb as always.
Then, the woman puffed out her chest to address the bodyguards haughtily. “What are you guys still standing here for? My daughter and I have some private matters to discuss, so please leave us.”
Naturally, the bodyguards remained motionless because Yara did not have the right to give them orders.
