Gerald replied to her, “I didn’t say it to her face.
You’re just too kind–hearted.”
Xavier carried Aveline to her room on the 16th floor. The manager was already waiting there, holding an ice bucket and a first–aid kit, just in case.
Aveline wanted to get down to open the door, but Xavier held her tighter. “Don’t move.”
Then he ordered the manager, “Open the door.”
“Ah, yes.”
The manager replied, thinking it was a good thing he’d grabbed a key card from the front desk, and took it out to open the door.
Xavier carried Aveline inside, placed her on the sofa, and then took the ice from the manager to continue icing her injury.
Aveline took the ice from his hand with a detached expression. “I can do it myself.”
She rested her leg on the sofa and pressed the towel–wrapped ice against her painful ankle.
Then she glanced at Xavier. “Thanks. You can go now.”
Seeing that she wanted to kick him out as soon as they were back in the room, Xavier gave her a half–smile and then told the manager to leave.
Then, Xavier said, “You could at least help me save some face in front of outsiders.”
Aveline said coldly, “You care about face?”
“Why wouldn’t I care about face?”
Aveline let out a dry laugh and said nothing.
if he really cared about face, would he cheat on his wife with her own half–sister?
Xavier looked at her mocking smile. “If you have something to say, just say it. That laugh is creeping me out.”

Xavier guessed she was definitely thinking something nasty. He stared at her with his dark, deep eyes. “Do you know you’re giving me the silent treatment?
This is a form of domestic abuse, you know.”
Aveline found it incredibly ironic and scoffed, “So you do know what the silent treatment is?
Xavier was at a loss for words.
After a moment, he sighed inwardly and reached out to take her other hand. “Aveline, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?”
“Besides, I was only a little cold to you before, I never gave you the silent treatment.
But it was still wrong. I admit it. I’ll never be like that again.”
“I’ll be good…”
Aveline coldly shook his hand off, cutting him off. “Don’t try to get handsy with me while I’m injured.”
“Don’t say things you don’t even believe yourself.”
Xavier let go of her hand, looked at her quietly for a moment, and asked, “You must be hungry, right?
What do you want to eat? I’ll have Amy bring something over.”
Aveline cursed her bad luck internally. Jasmine and Julian weren’t around, and of all times, she had to get injured now.
She said coldly, “You can go. Isn’t the service at the Beltran Hotel supposed to be great? If I need anything, I’ll call room service.”
Xavier glanced at her, took out his phone, and called Amy, telling her what food to bring over.
Aveline overheard and realized he had ordered a lot, enough for several people, including some of
her favorites.
“Xavier, I told you to leave.”
Xavier said lightly, “What’s the rush? We’ll talk after you’ve had breakfast.”
