Chapter 347 Xavier Is Jealous

Anthony felt a surge of pride as he received a heartfelt thank you. Just as he picked up the kitchen knife and was eager to showcase his skills, a strong hand grabbed him by the collar and hoisted him into the air. Before he could respond, someone threw him onto a stool.

Startled and furious, Anthony turned to see Xavier standing behind him.

“Xavier, what are you doing?! Why did you grab me like that?”

Xavier casually rotated his wrist and replied nonchalantly, “Old Mr. Santos called. He said he’s bringing his Tibetan Mastiff over for another round with Grandpa.”

The once–ferocious Anthony immediately quieted down, though he remained sceptical. He asked, “Really?”

Xavier’s face remained expressionless, displayed no hint of deception. He said, “You can ask the servants. They’re probably on their way now.”

Anthony was shocked.

He vividly remembered Philip making him compete in a biting contest with the Mastiff before.

Anthony was so panicked that, he didn’t put down the apple in his hand as he dashed away, shouting, “I need to hide! Don’t call me for dinner–tell them I’m eating at the school cafeteria. I’ll be back tomorrow morning!”

He was genuinely afraid. In no time, he was already a good distance away.

Milly was speechless as she watched.

Jonathan sneered coldly from the side, cursing, “Bah! Coward.

With a play

a playful smile, he picked up the kitchen knife and approached Milly. He offered, “Hehe, Milly, I’m brave and not afraid of dogs. I’ll protect you. Let me peel this apple for you.”

Before he could start, Xavier, with his cold demeanour, reminded him, “Clark just called Jordan. He said you’ve skipped filming for two days without reason, causing a huge loss. Since it’s Jordan’s investment, you’ll likely have to kneel in the family chapel when he returns.”

Jonathan froze, realisation dawning on him after a while. He exclaimed, “I knew I forgot something! I missed filming!”

Milly stared at him in disbelief. She was speechless.

How could he have forgotten filming?

Jonathan paled at the realisation/He said, “I’m finished. If Jordan finds out, he’ll break my bones! I need to go now. Milly, I’ll peel apples for you next time!”

With that, he ran off without even grabbing his coat.

Milly sighed. Both of her brothers were something else.

peeling it carefully. Xavier said, “Milly, I can also make bunny–shaped apple slices. I’ll cut it for you.” Milly frowned and instinctively stepped back. She said, “No, thanks. I’m not really in the mood for apples.” She noticed the once crowded living room was now empty except for her, Xavier, and Apollo, who were too quiet to count.

Milly knew Xavier wanted to mend their relationship, but she felt the damage was irreversible. It was like trying to fix a barn after the horse had bolted, all of his efforts were in vain.

No matter how many times she said it, Xavier acted like he couldn’t understand and kept approaching her. He does the same now.

Honestly, she missed the old Xavier, who ignored her. At least he wasn’t this annoying.

Xavier’s hand paused a little, but he quickly resumed. Ignoring her rejection, he continued, “If you don’t want bunny apples, I can make squirrel shapes, or even Ultraman. Though I think Ultraman looks a bit silly, so you …

Milly stood up and pulled Apollo along with him. She said, “Mr. Xavier, I’ve made our relationship clear more than once. Whether you choose to understand is up to you, but I don’t need to comply.

“I apologise, but I’m exhausted after leaving the hospital. Apollo and I are going upstairs.

“Wait!” Xavier called, “Milly, I had gathered all the evidence of Stephanie harming you and pushing you off the mountain. I’ve handed it to the family’s legal team. They’re charging her with attempted murder, and the court will summon her soon.

“Whether she wins or loses, she’ll always have that stain in her record.”

Milly paused and said, “Do as you wish.”

She then ascended the stairs with Apollo, leaving Xavier standing alone in the vast living room.

After a long silence, Xavier choked out and saiti slowly, “Alright”

Milly still refused to forgive me?

The sky grew darker as evening settled in. The early autumn wind carried a slight chill, mixed with an indescribable melancholy.

A servant tidied the living room after the gathering. She glanced at Xavier, who was still engrossed in peeling apples. She softly approached and said, “Mr. Xavier, you’ve been peeling for hours. Why not take a

break?”

In front of Xavier lay an array of neatly peeled apples.

There were bunnies, squirrels, and turtles–each one adorably detailed.

Xavier finally finished the last cut, revealing a perfect swan. Clearly, he had practiced a lot, as there wasn’t a single mistake.

Lifting his head, his once dazed eves focused as he mumbled, “Do you think these apples look nice?”

The servant hesitated, as she had no idea where the random question came from. Despite this, she answered honestly, “They’re beautiful, Mr. Xavier. Your knife skills are impressive.”

Xavier’s eyes lit up. and he said, “I’ll give them to Milly.”

But then he remembered her disdainful look, and his eyes dimmed again. He sniffled, and tears were welling up. “Forget it! She won’t like them. You can have them.”

The apples had turned slightly yellow at this point, but they still looked remarkably lifelike.

The servant sighed inwardly.

She glanced at the apples before turning her attention to Xavier, who was visibly upset. The servant couldn’t help it but suggest, “Mr. Xavier, your apples are lovely. I’m sure Ms. Milly would like them. Shall I deliver them for you?”

Would Milly like them?

Xavier sighed and said, “She won’t like them.”
