While talking, Yulissa wanted to touch Xavierâs face.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. âDoes it hurt? You have a wound here.ââNo, it doesnât.â 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 couldnât help but glance at her.Xavierâs expression turned solemn when he realized he was looking at her. âWhy did you bring her here?â he asked Josiah.Josiah was amused.
âShe said she smashed something against your head last night and thought you might be dead. She wanted to see if youâre still alive!ââIs that so?â Xavier shot Winnie a look.I only said something harsh last night, and sheâs already wishing for me to die. She doesnât look like sheâs regretting her actions. Itâs all right, though. After all, sheâs dumb, so she knows nothing. The woman who truly cares for me is Yulissa! I can tell that sheâs a sincere woman.Winnie was annoyed when she saw the interaction between Xavier and Yulissa. She giggled sheepishly and said, âThatâs right. Winnie came to see if youâve died, Handsome. If you die, thereâll be a banquet!ââWhat nonsense are you talking about? How could you say that? You couldâve injured his eyes!â Yulissa choked out.Xavier furrowed his brows when he heard that. âSave your breath, Yulissa. Donât waste your time on a dumbass. Iâm going to take a bath, so just wait for me outside.âYulissa sobbed and wiped the tears off of her face. âIâll run a bath for you.ââThatâs not necessary.â A sense of warmth welled up in Xavierâs heart, and he held Yulissaâs hand.
âIâm just going to take a quick shower.ââThen⦠do you have clothes to change into in the guest room?
Should I fetch you some clothes from the master bedroom?ââSure.â Xavier nodded. Unlike that dumbo, sheâs what a wife should be like. âOh, since youâre all here, let me introduce her to you.â Xavier was still holding Yulissaâs hand. âThis is Winnie. Thereâs 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, Iâm going to divorce her.
Weâre just husband and wife on paper. I really hope you donât mind. Grandpa wants us to take care of her during this time, so just donât be bothered with a fool like her.âYulissa held Xavierâs hand tightly and uttered gently, âI understand why youâre doing this, Xavier. You need to look after the companyâs reputation. Iâm happy as long as we have each other in our hearts.âJosiah was at a loss for words. God, thatâs so cheesy!Winnie, on the other hand, was disgusted. Iâm going to puke any moment now. Must they do this in public? Why canât they just do this privately? Also, why must he keep calling me a dumbass?Obviously, Yulissa wasnât done with her act. She walked toward Winnie and took off her emerald bracelet to put it on Winnieâs wrist. âWinnie, you donât mind me calling you by your name, right? I didnât plan on coming over today. When I found out Josiah was coming over, I just tagged along. Hence, I didnât bring any gifts. Please accept this bracelet.âWhat? I donât need that. Winnie retracted her hand.When she retracted her hand, the bracelet was still in Yulissaâs hand.However, Yulissa suddenly let go of the bracelet and dropped it on the floor.The emerald bracelet was fragile, so it broke into three pieces when it fell to the floor.Yulissa was just so standing in a position that blocked Xavierâs and Josiahâs line of sight.Before Yulissa could say a word, Winnie already knew what she was going to say.Yulissa squatted down and picked up the broken bracelet, her eyes red. âWinnie, you couldâve just told me you didnât like the bracelet. How could you just throw it to the ground and break it?
This bracelet was left behind by my mother, and itâs very precious to me.âWinnie was dumbfounded. Oh? You would give a dumbass something so precious to you? What a pretentious woman! You love to act, donât you? Iâll join you.âHandsome, Specky, I didnât drop the bracelet!â Winnie burst into tears. âI really didnât! The bracelet just dropped to the floor on itself!âIf she were to say that Yulissa had purposefully dropped it, those two wouldnât believe her.Tears were streaming down Winnieâs face. Since she was so pretty, she looked rather adorable when she cried.Josiah wanted to calm everyone down. Although he didnât exactly see what happened, he believed it was just an accident.Yet before Josiah could do anything, Xavier scolded, âEven if you want to throw a tantrum and be dumb, there must be a limit! Apologize to Yulissa now! Otherwise, youâre not getting fed today.âWinnie was stumped. Is he blinded by this woman?âWinnie didnât do anything wrong! Winnie is not going to apologize! Since Winnie is not getting fed, Winnie will just starve herself to death!â Winnie glared at Xavier before slamming the door and leaving.âHow dare you!â Xavier fumed.âLet it go, Xavier.â
Yulissa was quietly thrilled when she saw how angry Xavier was at Winnie. âIâll just get someone to fix it. Perhaps I was a little too emotional as well. After all, itâs something my mother left for me. In fact, I feel rather bad for her. Sheâs an adult, but she has a mind of a child. She assaulted you last night, so I donât think breaking my bracelet is that big of a deal. Like a child, sheâs just throwing tantrums and we have to coax her. However, youâre still recovering, and you need to rest. From now on, Iâll take care of you, Xavier. If Winnie doesnât mind, I can take care of her too.ââThatâs not necessary. Iâve already gotten someone to fetch her granny from the countryside. We donât need her to come between us.ââAll right. You go ahead and take a shower. Iâll go get your clothes.âNot long after, Yulissa arrived in the master bedroom. Instead of fetching clothes for Xavier, she was more interested in looking for Winnie.
