Chapter 272
“Married? That’s impossible!” Xavier shot to his feet. “That’s impossible… Noelle may hate me, but she would never get married to another man just to get back at me. She’s still in love with me. She…”
“That’s enough. I don’t have time for your convoluted dating history. Ms. Shaw has already claimed to have nothing to do with you, and you should stop harassing her late at night. I think you should just call either of your parents or your fiancee and have them drop by. It’s getting late.”
Xavier dropped back onto the bench, a dazed look on his face. Several minutes passed before he dialed Emilia’s number, his movements robotic.
By the time Emilia and Joseph rushed over, Xavier was still sitting on the bench inside the station, seemingly in some sort of trance. Emilia flew into a panic when she saw Xavier sitting dazedly on the bench. “Xavier! Xavier, are you alright?! Don’t scare me!”
“Mom!” Xavier looked up woodenly at Emilia. “Mom, she’s abandoned me. Mom, she really doesn’t want me anymore…”
“B*stard!” Joseph cried out as he slapped Xavier across the face. “You worthless piece of trash! Is it worth being this sad over a woman? You even ended up in the police station because of her! You’re really something else!”
Joseph slapped Xavier again, and Emilia cried out as she stood in front of him. “That’s enough. He’s all grown up now. Why are you slapping him?”
“He’ll never learn his lesson unless I slap it into him,” Joseph said as he gritted his teeth together. “I’d like to see how he deals with this mess if the Shaw family gets involved as well!”
