Molly was flabbergasted. âAh! Had something gone wrong?ââLetâs hurry over to take a look!â Winnieâs curiosity was piqued too.Other than having a cast on his leg, there were a series of loud noises in Xavierâs room moments ago. By rights, as his caretaker, she should check on him immediately.However, she did not see the point in doing so since she was only impersonating someone. Subsequently, she dawdled behind Molly, who hurried off to Xavierâs room instead.Anyway, we canât figure out what the loving couple is doing now. What if they are indulging in a steamy shower?
If so, weâll surely be overwhelmed by the unsightly scene if we rush into his room now!Molly, who ran all the way, reached faster and knocked on the door right away. âMr. Fairchild, Ms. White, whatâs the matter with you? Do you need the caretaker and me to give you a hand?âNevertheless, there was no response from the duo inside the room. Winnie and Molly could even hear Yulissaâs high-pitched voice.âWhy did you unleash your wrath on me? Itâs not fair for me!â Yulissaâs voice sounded. She was obviously on the verge of tears as she lamented, âDidnât you mention that you hoped we could rekindle our happy moments years ago? Iâve been giving my all to please you, and Iâm taking the initiative most of the time. However, youâve never touched me since Iâm back by your side! I have been trusting you since you mentioned that you would divorce that silly woman. But look at how things have gone the other way around. I canât believe youâre falling head over heels for her! Now that she has disappeared, even the police have issued a missing person report. Whatâs the point of you checking the surveillance cameras tirelessly every day? Have you forgotten about your broken leg? Didnât you know why I tried to take off your clothes? I was thinking of helping you with your shower. Howâs it possible that I have any ulterior motives? You promised you would put effort into restoring our lost relationship, didnât you? Do you still remember what you did after I stripped naked and lay beside you in Lagune Mansion that day?
You pushed me away and headed straight to that silly womanâs room instead! Did you think I was oblivious to what youâd done? Instead of letting me help you, youâd rather plead with a dumbass! Xavier Fairchild, say something! Why do you remain silent? Why donât you try to retort my words, telling me that Iâve misunderstood you, acted irrationally, and made a big fuss? Fine! You choose to play dumb.
Very well!âShortly after, the sound as if someone banging and smashing something rang out from the room. Winnie had a hunch that Yulissa was venting her anger by doing so in the room.Soon, unable to tamp down her boiling rage, Yulissa shrieked again, âWhatâs so good with that silly woman? Sheâs only a dumbass who looks slightly prettier. How could you fall easily for her just because of her look? Is it because Iâm not pretty enough? Whatâs so good about that dumbass till you canât put her out of your mind? Others might not dare to get on your nerves by enlightening you, but I have no fear. Xavier, heed my words. A dumbass like Winnie Garland, who has gone missing, will only end up meeting her end.
Anyway, there might still be other possibilities since sheâs different from the others and has good looks.
Who knows, she might have been abducted, sold to the vice den, and enslaved there.âSlap!On the heels of that, a crisp slapping sound rang out from the room.âShut up! Get out of my way now!âHa! He finally opens his mouth! He seemed to have slapped her too! Winnie felt as though she had stood outside Xavierâs room for ages.As expected, Yulissa squealed the next second again, âHow could you slap me? Youâd never done so throughout these years. How could you slap me now for the sake of Winnie Garland, the dumbass?âDeep down, Winnie gave Xavier a thumbs-up. Great one! Go ahead to slap her till her face becomes swollen! Undeniably, she was astounded by the words that Yulissa blurted out a while ago. To her surprise, Xavier had never indulged in intimacy with Yulissa before.However, Winnie could not help recalling some passionate moments between Xavier and her previously. He seemingly has lust like other men in general too. Could it be heâs keeping Yulissa by his side as he has something up his sleeve?As Winnie fell into a trance, Molly suddenly gave her a yank, breaking her reverie. âHurry up! Weâd better hide elsewhere. Theyâre coming out!âA quick-witted Molly hid behind Winnie swiftly just right before someone opened the door, fearing that Xavier would find out that she had been eavesdropping outside his room. Because of that, Winnie became her shield instead.The moment the door opened, she threw a glance at Yulissaâs face instinctively. Good gracious! Her left cheek is swollen!Nevertheless, her glance hurt a highly sensitive Yulissaâs feelings.Knowing that Molly and the caretaker must have eavesdropped on her words, Yulissa was utterly ashamed. Feeling livid due to the intense shame, she slapped Winnieâs face, startling the latter.
Unequivocally, it was too sudden for Winnie.âHave you gone nuts?â Winnie came to her senses and mustered up her strength to slap Yulissa in return. With that, the latterâs right cheek was as swollen as her left one in an instant.Evidently, it never came across Yulissaâs mind that a caretaker would have the gall to slap her back. She raised her hand and was about to slap Winnie again, but the latter grabbed her arm and shoved her aside.âDo you think you can fight against me? You shouldnât have overestimated yourself!â Winnie scoffed and shook her hand. Iâve only slapped her face, but my handâs already in pain! Hmph! Iâd better restrain myself from taking matters into my own hands again. Itâs not worth hurting myself by doing so.âMs. Houghton! Try to cool yourself down. Donât blow things out of proportion, okay?â Sensing the tense atmosphere, Molly stepped forward to defuse the situation.The next second, she turned to hold Yulissaâs arm. âMs. White, please donât be bothered by her.ââTake off your hand!â Yulissa grimaced and shrugged Mollyâs hands off before dashing out.The latter could not refrain from grumbling, âMy goodness! What a hot-tempered woman! How could she bite the hand that feeds her?âRight that instant, Xavierâs voice sounded. âWhat are you waiting for? Come in and clean the room now!ââMr. Fairchild, coming!â Molly pushed open the door at once and entered the room.At that very moment, Winnie grabbed the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the room. Catching sight of the absolute mess inside, she told herself to only enter a while later.Nonetheless, she had barely moved a few paces before Molly caught up with her. âMs. Houghton, Mr. Fairchild wants you to go over now.
Heâs still in the bathroom.âWinnie knitted her brows instantaneously, but she still adjusted her mask and entered Xavierâs room.Since everything was scattered everywhere on the floor, she could hardly step into the bathroom.In the meantime, Xavier was leaning against the washbasin, lifting a leg. He was still in his clothes, but the first two buttons on his shirt were unfastened, and the buckle of his belt was loosened. Apart from that, his shirt was slightly wet, causing it to stick to his back like the second layer of his skin.The grimness on his face intensified when he noticed that the caretaker stood motionless right in front of him. âWhat are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to help you back to your room instead?âWinnie advanced toward Xavier without uttering any words before lifting his arm and placing it above her shoulders.Even though it was just a short distance, they had to move at a snailâs pace due to Xavierâs leg injury.Once they were out of the bathroom, Xavier piped up, âDo I need a blood test after this?âHuh? Winnie was stunned. She could not fathom why Xavier asked her such an odd question. Did he find out that Iâm impersonating the caretaker?
