The driver Sebastian found for her was coming over this morning. She had to meet him, have a chat, and if he seemed suitable, take him to her maternal grandparents‘ house before heading back to Mount Ardwood.

When they entered the dining room and didn’t see Xavier, Jasmine couldn’t help but ask Helena,

“Where’s Xavier?”

Helena replied, “He went for a run.”

The words were barely out of her mouth when Xavier walked in.

Aveline thought he was really full of energy. After going to bed so late last night and getting slammed hard in the stomach by her, he still had the energy to wake up so early for a run.

As expected, a big–shot business tycoon would never let himself fall apart.

Jasmine started to get up to greet him, but Aveline pulled her back down. “Don’t bother with him.”

Jasmine gave a helpless smile. “Alright. You’re the lady of the house, after all. If you say to ignore him, we’ll ignore him.”

But Xavier walked over, stood at the entrance of the dining room, glanced at Aveline, and said flatly:

“You seem to have plenty of energy to be up for breakfast this early.”

If he has the energy to get up for a run, why can’t she have the energy to eat breakfast?

Is there any point in moping around for a man who isn’t worth it?

But Aveline couldn’t be bothered to say anything, so she just looked down and ate her breakfast.

Jasmine, however, had to speak up, “Morning, Mr. Beltran. Sorry, we started without you.”

Xavier nodded at her, glanced at Aveline, and turned to leave.

Jasmine leaned in and whispered to Aveline, “What did he mean by that? Why wouldn’t you have the energy for breakfast?”

Helena, who was at the counter preparing Xavier’s breakfast, overheard and couldn’t help but glance at Aveline.

Aveline said calmly, “I’ll tell you later.

Jasmine’s eyes widened. “Damn it, did something happen between you two last night?”

“Did he go to your room?”

Aveline looked up at Jasmine’s knowing look and frowned slightly. “I have no idea what you’re thinking, but don’t get the wrong idea.”

Jasmine shrugged. “You can’t blame me. It’s not that unusual for him to just show up in your room. At Mount Ardwood, he came out of your room first thing in the morning and gave me and Julian a shock.”

Aveline said irritably. “Is the breakfast Helena made not good?”

Jasmine quickly replied. “It’s delicious, very delicious. I’m eating it now.”

Then she turned to Helena and said, “Helena, it’s delicious. Thank you.”

Helena smiled back at her. “You’re welcome, Miss.”

Aveline and Jasmine finished their breakfast and walked out of the dining room.

Xavier came downstairs after a shower, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a black suit jacket draped over his arm.

He walked up to Aveline, smelling of fresh shower gel, and looked at her.

“You gave me a bruise on my stomach. You think there might be some internal damage?”

Jasmine heard him too, her eyes widening as she looked from him to Aveline.

Aveline gave him a cold look without saying a word. After all, he must have a reason for saying

that

Sure enough, seeing her unmoved, Xavier scoffed, “So cold–hearted.

Come with me to the hospital to get it checked out. I might be bleeding internally.”

Aveline frowned slightly. “Stop being so dramatic. If you really had internal injuries, would you have been able to get up and go for a run?”
