Chapter 35

Author: Ninth Cup
Winter’s lip was bitten raw. She cried out in pain as Chris slowly released her. Without the lenses of his glasses to soften them, his eyes were filled with raw aggression.

He raised a hand, wiping the smear of blood from his lip with his thumb. The hand gripping the back of her neck tightened as he leaned in, his lips grazing her earlobe in a cruel whisper. “Winter Scott, don’t cross my line.”

Winter trembled with anger. Her voice came out hoarse and dry. “Then don’t cross mine either. Worst

    Chris, who was usually impossible to read, opened his eyes again. This time, the irritation in them was impossible to miss.“You should go.”Mr. Simmons Sr. was clearly doing this on purpose just to get under his skin.“Oh, now you’re mad?” Mr. Simmons Sr. was suddenly in an excellent mood.He rested both hands on the top of his cane, leaned forward, and grinned. “This is nothing. You’re already this worked up, and I haven’t even mentioned William yet. Winnie has him looking after her and keeping her company. What exactly are you so worried about?”Chris finally sat up.His sharp, dark eyes locked onto Mr. Simmons Sr., and for a moment, something wild and untamed surfaced in his expression.If they hadn’t been family, Mr. Simmons Sr. had no doubt Chris might actually have tried to tear him apart.Gavin listened quietly from the side.From the looks of it, Mr. Simmons Sr. had come here today determined to push every one of Chris’s buttons.He still hadn’t gotten over the way C

    Mr. White brought General back inside. The nanny was cleaning up the mess Richie had left after lunch when the landline in the living room rang.Mr. White walked over and checked the caller ID.It was an unfamiliar number. Judging by the format, it looked like an international call.A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly picked up.“Winnie? Miss Winter, is that you?” Mr. White’s voice went hoarse with excitement.A very soft voice came through the line.“Mr. White, it’s me. How’s the baby?”Mr. White frowned, his heart aching for her.It must have taken everything she had to leave Richie behind and go for treatment. Calling home to ask about him would only make it harder for her emotionally.She must have seen the news and gotten worried about Richie. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have risked making this call.Mr. White gripped the receiver.“Mr. Lynch just drove off with him. He took Richie out for a ride, so don’t worry.”Then he added, “And as for Mr. Xander, you d

    Winter had been brought to the Xander estate when she was seven. When Mr. White said she had been easy to look after as a child, Dominic didn’t think that was wrong.Come to think of it, Winter had been pretty well behaved growing up, aside from the occasional bit of mischief.And yet now, she had become like this.Dominic lowered his head and looked at Richie, who was still trying to scoop pasta from his tray. He pressed his lips together, then reached out and rubbed Richie’s little head.“There are some good things about being little.”Mr. White took a towel from the nanny and gently wiped Richie’s face.Since Richie had come home from the hospital, his appetite had improved, and he had put on quite a bit of weight. His complexion was much better too. His chubby little face looked delicate and perfect, like something carved from porcelain, and the soft flesh of his cheeks bounced slightly. Now, covered in pasta sauce, his face was shiny from the mess.Mr. White wiped him with

    Once Dominic finally processed what was going on, he honestly had no idea what to say.He was angry that Chris had not told him in advance about something this big. At the same time, he hated seeing a man like Chris fall from grace.But if Dominic was honest, anger won out.So he turned to one of the police officers and said, “Officer, could you keep him in custody for a few extra days?”The officer froze for a second, clearly not expecting someone like Dominic to make that kind of joke. Then he said with a serious expression, “Mr. Lynch, we handle everything strictly according to the law.”“Take good care of Richie. I’ll be back in a few days.” Chris shot Dominic a cold look.Dominic clicked his tongue.“Fine, fine. I was wrong. I’m sorry. Bad joke. I’ll take good care of him, all right? Don’t worry.”Even without Chris telling him, he would have taken good care of Richie.But Dominic couldn’t stay serious for more than a second.He couldn’t help teasing, “So, counting that

    “Show them in,” Chris said, giving Gavin a nod.Gavin relayed the instruction to the secretary’s office.Dominic looked at Chris, who still had that infuriating look of staying calm even if the sky fell in front of him. Suddenly, Dominic realized that maybe this wasn’t what he had thought.He had panicked because he cared too much.He had forgotten that while Chris might be hopeless when it came to love, he wouldn’t go so far as to abandon his own child.“You’re really going this far?”Publicly admitting fault in front of the whole internet?“She’s getting treatment. She might not even have her phone with her. William definitely won’t tell her anything about you either. So who exactly are you apologizing to?”His reputation and power would both take a hit.Was it really worth paying such a high price?“It was my fault to begin with. I also promised I would give her, and William, an explanation.” Chris rose from his chair. “Whether she sees it or not doesn’t matter.”Only the

    At Xander Corporation, Dominic shoved open the door to the chairman’s office with a bang. Without even saying hello, he strode straight toward the desk.“Have you lost your mind? Turning yourself in? I swear, that explosion in the suburbs must have blown something loose in your head.”He planted both hands on his hips, clearly furious.The confession Chris had posted online felt less like a legal statement and more like a public act of self-condemnation. The internet was in an uproar.Dominic’s first instinct had been to call him. But then he thought better of it. What was the point of yelling at Chris over the phone when it would be so much more satisfying to yell at him in person?So he had rushed over without stopping.Today, he was going to knock some sense into Chris no matter what.But the man sitting behind the desk was still calmly looking through documents with his head lowered. The whole world outside had been turned upside down, yet here he was, completely unbothered.
