“But I want to…”


    Xavier hesitated while looking at Renee, looking very pitiful.


    “You want to y video games, right? You can’t!”


    Renee’s attitude was firm, like a disciplinary teacher.


    “Hmph, whatever!”


    His hopes crushed, Xavier angrily covered his head with the nket and went to sleep.


    The way he was fierce but scared at the same time was kinda cute.


    When he heard that they were leaving, he quickly pulled down the nket and asked, “Renee, you said


    you’re going to take care of me. Is that true?”


    “Of course.”


    Renee did not hesitate. “You saved my life. Isn’t it natural for me to take care of you?”


    “But let me make this clear. I’m not a very patient woman. If you keep being difficult and refuse to


    cooperate like you did earlier, I can’t promise I won’t beat you up!”


    “There’s no need to worry. As long as you’re the one taking care of me, I’ll definitely cooperate.”


    Xavier went back to sleep.


    Christopher watched all this with a somewhatplicated expression.


    “Mr. Jacobs, I’m going to the nearby supermarket to buy some food and necessities for this guy. Will


    youe with me?”


    Renee asked Christopher.


    She was serious when she said she would take care of Xavier. It was to repay him for saving her life.


    “I’ll be right there. I need to talk to Xavier first.”


    “Okay.”


    Renee did not ask what they were gonna talk about. She simply left.


    Christopher walked over to Xavier’s bed and pulled down the nket that was covering his head. With


    a serious face, he asked, ” What are you doing?”


    Xavier was about to fall asleep. He woke up with a puzzled look on his face and asked, “What’s the


    matter, Chris? You’re still here?”


    Christopher did not look too happy. He said coldly, “Don’t y the innocent with me. Be honest and tell


    me what’s going on between you and Miss Everheart.”


    “Nothing’s going on.”


    Xavier said, “I went to her house for tea, and her house caught fire.


    I saved her and, in the process, hurt my leg…”


    “That’s all?”


    “Yeah, that’s all!”


    “Why do I feel like you have feelings for her…”


    “Nope, definitely not!”


    Xavier denied it vehemently. “I don’t have any interest in her. You know what kind of women I like. Even


    if she’s the only woman left in the world, I still wouldn’t be interested in her!”


    “Our friendship is purely tonic. As you know, if it weren’t for her, Zack Rosenwell wouldn’t have


    represented me in thatwsuit. I’m being so nice to her because I owe her a favor.”


    Xavier wanted to exin further but Christopher raised his hand and stopped him. “You don’t have to


    exin anymore. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing.”


    “Some women you can fall for, but some you can’t… Never touch a brother’s lover. I’m sure you know


    the code.”


    The atmosphere suddenly became a bit weird.


    Xavier, who had always respected Christopher, novelxo suddenly gave him a mocking smile. “Chris, I’m


    not as stupid as you think. I know what I’m doing. I’ll never cross the lines that I shouldn’t cross.

    But… aren’t you the one who failed to follow the code?”


    Christopher lowered his head, his handsome and elegant face filled with regret. “That’s right. You


    should consider me a cautionary tale. I don’t want the three of us to fall apart again because of a


    woman!”


    “Understood!”


    Xavier said nonchntly, “I’m just having some fun because I’m bored. There’s no need to take it that


    seriously.”


    While they were talking, Stefan pushed open the door and walked in…
