Xavier smiled and pulled her out of the clinic.

“I’m taking you to lunch.”

Becky didn’t want 10 waste time. “No

Xavier frowned. From now o

Becky hadn’t even opened her mouth to reject him when Xavier added, “No saying no!”

Then he said. “Relax. It’s close by. I already ordered. We’ll eat as soon as we get there.”

So Becky followed him into the car.

They arrived at a fancy Chinese restaurant.

A server led them straight to a private room where the table was already covered with dishes,

Xavier pulled out her chair. “Sit.”

She didn’t stand on ceremony and dug in.

avier washed his hands and peeled a plate of shrimp for her.

Becky looked at the shrimp, her eyes flickering slightly.

“Thanks.”

Xavier suddenly said, “I’m going on a business trip in a bit.

Becky looked up in surprise. After a moment, she said, “Oh.”

“That’s it?” Xavier asked.

“Where are you going?” she asked.

“Ocean City

He didn’t expect her to ask anything more, so he explained on his own, “I’ll be back in four or five days at the earliest. If things get delayed, maybe a week.”

Becky kept eating the shrimp. After a while, she noticed Xavier hadn’t moved. When she looked up, he was staring at her with a patiful expression

“What s wrong?“:

But Becky didn’t think it was a big deal. They were both adults. He could take care of himself. She didn’t need to tell him that.

She focused on the food and only later noticed Xavier hadn’t eaten much.

She looked up. “You’ve got a flight coming up, and plane food is awful. Eat something now.”

Xavier was slightly comforted.

“Feed me”

Becky didn’t respond.

She took his plate and gave him a bit of everything.

“Eat up

Xavier smirked, his long eyes narrowing slightly.

The little woman cared about him–just a little.

After lunch, Xavier drove Becky back to the clinic, then headed to the airport.

Mr. John sidled up to Becky and asked nosily, “Did you and the kid’s dad patch things up?*

“Son of Becky replied.

If he knew she only wanted to sleep with Xavier, his worldview might implode.

An old man like him wouldn’t understand that kind of arrangement.

Mr. John stroked his beard and chuckled. “Good. It’s a good thing to get back together with the kid’s dad. At least this way, the kid won’t get a stepdad.”

Becky thought to herself, she’d never planned on giving James a stepdad anyway.

After Xavier left on his trip, Becky’s life returned to normal.

One day. Yulia came to the clinic and said she wanted to treat Becky to lunch.

Becky looked at her warily. “You trying to poison me?”

“Do you think I’m that kind of person! Sure, I didn’t like you, but I’d never do something illegal.”

“Glad you know that. So why are you inviting me to lunch? Are we even on those terms?

“Tin leaving”

“Then leave. No need for a farewell party I can’t handle the gesture.”

I don’t mean any harm. There’s just something I want to say”

In the end. Becky agreed to go with her to a restaurant across the plaza.

These days. Xavier had been sending Becky lunch. She gave today’s meal to Mr. John instead.

The old guy grinned so wide his eyes practically disappeared.

“Okay, what did you want to say?”

Vulia was acting much more normal now. She hadn’t snapped at her, hadn’t said anything nasty. Becky was willing to hear her

Yuha looked at her for a long moment before speaking.

“Do you know why I used to hate you so much?”

Becky said. “Sure. You thought I stole your parents and your brother. But let’s be real–any idiot could see who your parents favored more. Even a pig could tell. What were you jealous of?”

“It was mainly my brother. The way he treated you made me jealous.”

“You remember when you first came to our house and I bullied you?”

Becky nodded. “Of course. You were terrifying. I thought you were a little devil”

She still remembered the evil pranks Yulia used to pull. Made her want to punch her just thinking about it.

Theard everything my brother said to you,” Yulia said.
