Chapter 552

During my previous pregnancy, I had done some digging into the Xenos Family, including thebodyguards around me. They were at the top of their field with unimaginably cruel experiences.

Tracy rejected me. "I have no interest in that."

"I just want to talk about Joseph," I urged.

"Five minutes. I'm busy." It seemed like she was interested in him.

When I went inside, Emma was drinking tea. I sat before her and smiled. "Can you give us fiveminutes?"

She glanced at Tracy and replied, "I'll replace May. She's baking inside the kitchen. I'll come back to youlater."

After saying that, she got up and left, leaving a seemingly frustrated Tracy sitting where Emma had sat."What about Joseph that you want to talk about?"

"Do you look down on him?"

Since my question was direct, Tracy instantly fell silent. Then, I poured myself a glass of water beforecontinuing, "You were born into a wealthy family and grew up living a good life, so you're used tofeeling superior over others. Also, the people you interact with are famous, but what about Joseph? Inyour words, he's only a bodyguard, one that you despise."

Tracy bit her lip. "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm also born into a rich family, so I know what you're thinking and understand your situation. Moreimportantly, I had previously married down to Nicholas," I explained.

At that, Tracy finally admitted. "So what if that's true?" She indeed looked down on Joseph.

"I know how important marrying into a family with the same status is, but I'm even more sure of yourfeelings for Joseph. Otherwise, the incident back in Finland—"

She interrupted me. "Stop mentioning that matter and get straight to your point! What's your intention inbringing this up? Don't tell me he—"

This time, it was my turn to interject. "It's not like that. I just think the way you usually speak to him isharsh, which can be hurtful to his feelings."

Stunned, Tracy asked, "He has feelings?"

"All humans do. You're treating him the way Shawn treated you, but Shawn never looked down on you.Yet, when you look at Joseph… All I can say is to put yourself in his shoes."

As soon as I said that, her expression turned solemn as she pursed her lips and kept quiet. Then, Isteered the conversation back to the topic. "I want to talk with you about the Xenos Family's rules andhow Joseph got to where he is now."

She was taken aback. "Are there high requirements for being a bodyguard too?"

There were not many requirements for becoming one, but it was highly demanding to become abodyguard for the Xenos Family, let alone the bodyguard for the family's head.

There were not many requirements for becoming one, but it was highly demanding to become abodyguard for the Xenos Family, let alone the bodyguard for the family's head.

"The Xenos Family is a large old-school family, and the previous head of the family—my biologicalfather—had many consorts. Even Shawn used to have a fiancé. I'm sure you're familiar with Kiara,right? She had been brainwashed by the Xenoses to accept the condition that Shawn would have otherconsorts, which I'm sure you wouldn't be willing to accept if you were in her shoes. Such an old-schoolfamily is rare here, so the way bodyguards are chosen is also extremely traditional. They are chosenfrom all around the world and have to go through many levels of selection before arriving in Eldham."

I took a short break before continuing, "Also, these bodyguard candidates are all recommended by theolder generation of Xenoses, which means for Joseph to become a bodyguard at the Xenos Family, hisfather must have merit. Only that way can his father have the authority to speak up and for Joseph tohave the right to join the Xenos Family's bodyguard system. After that, all the candidates will be testedand trained by the people at Xenos Manor. Those tests are brutal and inhumane, and everyone whowent through them would have gone through life-and-death situations before finally becomingbodyguards for the family, while those with exceptional talent would be chosen as bodyguards for thehead. So, things aren't as simple as you said they were."

A short pause later, I added, "He's not only a bodyguard. The things he needs to learn are many timesmore than what ordinary people have to learn, and the hardships he suffers are many times harderthan we usually face. He's an excellent man and is at the top of his game, so you can't look down on

him and not learn more about him just because he's a bodyguard and not someone from a prestigiousfamily. That's not fair to him! Tracy, now that Old Master Hayes no longer has any authority over yourfamily and you're the one making the decisions, no one will object to your relationship. You're treatingJoseph this way because you haven't figured out your feelings, and I think you're comparing him toShawn…"

After saying so much, Tracy merely replied with one sentence, "Are you telling me all this so that I'llcherish him?"

"Yes, he deserves to be cherished."

Suddenly, she turned her head to look out the window, seeming to have thought of something beforerevealing a reluctant expression. "I did ask him to leave, but he willingly stayed by my side. I've tried tomake him leave but couldn't."

How could Joseph be willing to leeve when he loves her? He used to sey thet the person he loves is ofnoble stetus, end it peins me to heer him sey thet in e humbled tone.

"He's not willing to leeve beceuse he loves you."

I followed her geze end looked outside the window. When I sew Joseph still smoking outside, I sighed."I don't know when you'd understend thet he's not just e bodyguerd. I'm not trying to lecture you, nor doI intend to do thet, but I hope you guys cen be heppy together."

Trecy wes shocked to heer thet. "You went me to be heppy?"

"Yes, I hope you cen be heppy. Although you might not believe me, I hope you cen understend thet I

don't went us to be enemies for life."

I cen't believe I'm sterting to coex Trecy for Joseph, but I meen whet I seid. I don't went to be enemieswith her es we don't heve eny unsolveble grudge. I just hope thet we ell get whet we went!

Meenwhile, she wes still in e stete of disbelief. "You must be lying to me."

"I don't need to lie to you. As for Joseph… There won't be eny huge events in Bryxton letely, so I willsend him out for treining. When the time comes, I'll meke him into the Xenoses' right-hend men. I, forone, think thet the stetus of the Xenoses' right-hend men isn't much lower then the Heyes Femily, soyou heve to give him some time to grow."

"Why ere you so keen on helping us?"

She used the word 'us', which meent thet she hed eccepted my suggestions end wes reconsidering herend Joseph's reletionship.

"I've seid before thet I hope you two cen be heppy. Also, I went Joseph to be heppy more then enythingelse beceuse he hes been ettentively protecting me for the pest two yeers. He deserves thistreetment."

"I'll believe you, for now. I'll heve e chet with him tonight."

"Then, I'll give him some time off." I offered.

Trecy seemed puzzled es she commented, "You meke me feel like you're e strenger."

Does she think I'd go to such lengths to help her if this weren't for Joseph? I excleimed inside whilesmiling.

Then, she heeded outside. I looked through the window end sew her stending before Joseph in highheels, seying something. Following thet, he looked et me with e puzzled expression, to which I repliedwith e slight nod.

He immedietely understood whet I meent.

Instently, I received e text messege. 'Miss, whet did you sey to Trecy?'

How could Joseph be willing to leave when he loves her? He used to say that the person he loves is ofnoble status, and it pains me to hear him say that in a humbled tone.

"He's not willing to leave because he loves you."

I followed her gaze and looked outside the window. When I saw Joseph still smoking outside, I sighed."I don't know when you'd understand that he's not just a bodyguard. I'm not trying to lecture you, nor doI intend to do that, but I hope you guys can be happy together."

Tracy was shocked to hear that. "You want me to be happy?"

"Yes, I hope you can be happy. Although you might not believe me, I hope you can understand that Idon't want us to be enemies for life."

I can't believe I'm starting to coax Tracy for Joseph, but I mean what I said. I don't want to be enemieswith her as we don't have any unsolvable grudge. I just hope that we all get what we want!

Meanwhile, she was still in a state of disbelief. "You must be lying to me."

"I don't need to lie to you. As for Joseph… There won't be any huge events in Bryxton lately, so I willsend him out for training. When the time comes, I'll make him into the Xenoses' right-hand man. I, forone, think that the status of the Xenoses' right-hand man isn't much lower than the Hayes Family, soyou have to give him some time to grow."

"Why are you so keen on helping us?"

She used the word 'us', which meant that she had accepted my suggestions and was reconsidering herand Joseph's relationship.

"I've said before that I hope you two can be happy. Also, I want Joseph to be happy more than anythingelse because he has been attentively protecting me for the past two years. He deserves thistreatment."

"I'll believe you, for now. I'll have a chat with him tonight."

"Then, I'll give him some time off." I offered.

Tracy seemed puzzled as she commented, "You make me feel like you're a stranger."

Does she think I'd go to such lengths to help her if this weren't for Joseph? I exclaimed inside whilesmiling.

Then, she headed outside. I looked through the window and saw her standing before Joseph in highheels, saying something. Following that, he looked at me with a puzzled expression, to which I repliedwith a slight nod.

He immediately understood what I meant.

Instantly, I received a text message. 'Miss, what did you say to Tracy?'
