Winter nervously tugged at the corner of her mouth. “People can change, can’t they? Don’t you like the food I made?”

“I like it,” Xavier replied, lowering his head to continue eating.

Xavier knew exactly what kind of person Winter was. She was the type who never lifted a finger in the kitchen. The food tasted just like it was from a restaurant.

He had eaten Noelle’s cooking before. Although the food was simple, it had a homely taste, unlike these delicately prepared dishes. The moment Winter opened the lunch box, Xavier knew the truth. However, since Winter wanted to deceive him, he saw no need to expose her.

Hearing Xavier’s response, Winter let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “I’m glad you like it! You should eat more. You work so hard.”

“Okay.” Xavier nodded. “Why did you have time to come over today? Feeling better?”

Winter bit her lip, wringing her hands together. “Xavier, you love me, right?”

Xavier’s hand paused. His eyes darkened, but he still nodded. “Yes. What’s with the sudden question? Did something happen?”

“Xavier, since you love me, you’ll help me, right?” Winter grasped Xavier’s hand. “Only you can help me now. Please, I beg you.”

Xavier lost his appetite completely. He put down his cutlery and scrutinized Winter. There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes. “What do you want me to do?” He had an inkling but was not sure..

“Aren’t you close with Charles? You’re relatives, right? The one who gave Grandpa a chess set at his birthday party… He’s very powerful, isn’t he? I heard he has a film company. Can you…” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Xavier frowned as he pulled his hand away from Winter. He pressed his lips together, clearly displeased.

He had not expected that after being constantly compared to Charles by his family, Winter would bring him up too. This naturally annoyed Xavier.

Winter did not notice his displeasure at all. “Xavier, you’re related to Charles, right? Can you ask him to help me get through this tough time? With his help, I can make a comeback in the entertainment industry.

Winter clung to his hand. “Xavier, I know you care about me the most. Please help me, okay?”

“But…” The mere thought

of Charles‘ cold expression made Xavier reluctant to approach him. His father had previously urged him to get closer to Charles, but Charles never reciprocated, leaving Xavier feeling defeated.

“But what? You don’t want to help me?” Winter looked at Xavier pitifully, using her acting skills to her

advantage now this mess is my fault, but not everything that was reported is true. I did have conflicts

“I

with a few people, but it was just competition for resources. I didn’t do anything unforgivable. Someone is targeting me. Xavier, please help me.”

“…”

“This matter is settled. Xavier, you’ll talk to Charles.” Joseph pushed open Xavier’s office door. His shrewd eyes scrutinized Winter, and then he smiled. “Winter, don’t worry. I’ll make sure Xavier helps you. Charles will certainly assist.”

“Dad…” Xavier frowned, but Joseph shot him a sharp look

“Winter is your fiancée. It’s only right to help her. Besides, I believe she’s being framed. Will you stand by and watch her suffer?” Joseph’s voice was stern. “Alright, it’s settled.”
