"Of course! I've said the wrong thing. I'll watch myself in the future," Mary hastily responded when she saw Xavier's angry look.

She then asked Winnie, "Mrs. Fairchild, would you like to drink something?"

"No, it's fine. It's late, so we're going to rest now."

After dismissing the housekeepers, Winnie and Xavier went upstairs to the master bedroom on the second floor.

That place used to be their room, and they spent many interesting nights there.

Winnie could not help but feel wistful upon returning to the room after over a month.

The last time she returned to retrieve her laptop in the playroom, she had taken some clothes with her as well. Hence, Winnie could not help but wonder if she had anything to change into after her shower later With that thought in her mind, Winnie reached out to open the walk-in closet's door.

There were still many clothes in the closet. Everything was still where it used to be as if the place had been left untouched the entire time.

At that, Winnie could not help but ask Xavier, "You haven't told anyone to clean this place up after I left?"

Walking over to hug her from behind, Xavier sharply replied, "What are you talking about? Are you thinking of leaving me? I won't let you do that!"

"Right," Winnie muttered, holding the arm around her waist. "Asking you is pointless. You don't remember all these anyway."

Xavier had no idea what she was muttering about. He only knitted his brows and insisted, "Dumbo, I don't care if you understand this or not, but don't you dare think of leaving me!"

"Fine." Winnie sighed. It seemed he was not going to change his impression of her any time soon.

"What's the matter? Is there something you're not happy about? I can't believe you're sighing, Dumbo. You used to be so happy over just a candy."

Xavier then whipped his head over and pressed a kiss on Winnie's cheek.

"Is it because you can't replace any nice dresses to wear? You're my wife. How can I let you get frustrated over something like that? Don't worry. I'll make sure you'll be the most eye-catching woman at the charity gala that's in three days."

Winnie almost let out a resigned sigh at that. The charity gala had been such a long time ago, but Xavier still thought it was happening in three days' time.

After a moment of rumination, she remarked, "I don't want to go to the charity gala anymore. You shouldn't go either. I don't feel good, and I want you to keep me company at home."

"You're not feeling good? Why didn't you tell me this when we were at the hospital?" In the next second, Xavier lifted Winnie up and turned her around.

He then cupped her face and began studying it.

Xavier's eyes were dark and glistening, and Winnie could see her own reflection in his eyes.

However, she also noticed the red veins in his eyes. That reminded her of the time when he was losing his mind.

At that thought, she sighed. As she reached out to hug Xavier, she mumbled, "It's nothing serious, so I don't need to see a doctor for it."

Xavier froze. Two seconds later, he, too, reached out to caress the back of her head.

"You like hugging me, hmm? Do you want me to carry you to the bathroom like before?"

"Sure." Winnie nodded. She used to ask for his affection in that way when she was still pretending to be mentally impaired.

Then, she would tease him until his limits, but somehow, he always managed to hold himself back.

Winnie could not help but wonder how he would react if she were to do the same later.

Once they were in the bathroom, Winnie hung her jacket on the rack. When she saw that Xavier was neither closing the door nor had the intention of leaving the bathroom, she approached him. Now, she was only dressed in a black maxi gown.

Upon reaching him, she turned to let her back face him instead.

"Help me pull the zipper down. I can't reach it."

Xavier did not seem to be curious about why Winnie was wearing the gown. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her thin waist and leaned over to rest his chin on her shoulder.

With a grin on his lips, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you seducing me again? This isn't your first time seducing me, but I always held myself back. Do you know why?" All of a sudden, he carried her up onto the basin.

That way, they would be able to look at each other at the same level without him needing to lower his head to look at her.

"It's because you were as naive as a child, but you had the body of a mature woman. I wanted you, but my rationality didn't allow me to be mean to you."

As he spoke, he lifted his hand to play with Winnie's ear.

"I know you don't mean it because you don't know anything, but I do. Every time I kiss you and hug you, and every time I share a bed with you, it's bittersweet for me."

Xavier paused, sucking in a deep breath as his eyes reddened. "It's the same right now. The very thought of how I'm going to hug you soon makes me on the verge of losing control. I want you, Dumbo. I don't want to hold myself back anymore. I'll be responsible for you. I promise!"

With that said, Xavier immediately pinned her against the mirror and sealed her lips with his without giving her a chance to say anything.

A short while after receiving his kiss, Winnie began kissing him back.

After their bout of kissing, Winnie looked into his eyes and uttered in a serious tone, "Okay. I've made up my mind. I want you too."

By then, Xavier's hair was already made a mess by Winnie, and his chaotic mess only made him look even more feral than before.

It made Winnie feel an even stronger urge to conquer him.

However, Xavier paused in his tracks and looked at Winnie with slight hesitation in his eyes.

Amused, Winnie touched his neck and pulled his shirt apart. "What's the matter? Are you backtracking now? Didn't you say you'll be responsible for me?"

Grabbing her wandering hand, Xavier hoarsely said, "Dumbo, you don't know anything. From now on, you'll be experiencing something new in your life. Aren't you afraid of being my woman?" Winnie shook her head and flashed him a small smile. "No, I'm the one who wants you to become my man. It's all right if you're inexperienced at the start as long as you perform well in the future." Xavier mulled over Winnie's words. Sensing something amiss about them, he frowned and asked, "Are you doubtful about my capability?"

"We'll know once we try it, right?"

"Fine! I'll show you what it means to be capable!" Xavier uttered hoarsely before carrying Winnie down from the basin with one arm.

Pulling their clothes off, Xavier turned the faucet on and let the warm water drench them wet.

The man's broad back blocked most of the warm water, and his powerful arms took on most of the woman's weight.

Then, the man and the woman embarked on their intimate conquests of each other.

After that, as Xavier held Winnie tightly in his arms, he declared, "Dumbo, you're my wife-a rightful one. I admit that I love you. From now on, we're one and will never part." Spread the love
