Chapter 4 Be Good And Stay Still

• Indeed, Winnie returned this time to teach the Garland family a lesson.
• She only discovered that Jacinta was searching for her grandson in the Fairchild family a few days ago, so she didn't have time to launch a thorough investigation yet.
• Now that she had married into the family, it was time for her to know her enemy better.
• After ending her call with Jacinta, she gave someone else a quick call.
• “I need information on the three generations of the Fairchild family. Send it to my email in an hour. That's all.”
• “Hey, you—” Before the person on the other end of the line could finish his sentence, the call had been cut. He flashed a resigned smile.
• She's efficient as usual. She does fit the bill of a domineering CEO of a company.
• Fifty minutes later, Winnie received a detailed report about the three generations of the Fairchild family.
• She had just finished reading the report and switched off her laptop when someone knocked on the door.
• “Mrs. Fairchild, it's me, Mary. Can I open the door and come in?”
• Winnie's brows furrowed together, but she still raised her voice to portray a little girl's voice. “Oh, Mary. Come on in, Mary.”
• Thus, Mary came into the playroom with the guest to see Winnie drawing with a watercolor brush.
• Her fingers and clothes were stained with paint.
• As for her drawing, it looked worse than what a kindergarten kid could draw.
• Winnie thought her act would suffice, so she kept her watercolor brush away.
• Curious, she pointed at the man with glasses beside Mary and asked, “Mary, who is the man wearing glasses?”
• She had actually read about him in the Fairchild family's report a few minutes ago.
• The man's name was Josiah Houghton. He was Xavier's best friend and personal doctor.
• He had been taking care of Xavier ever since the latter fell into a coma.
• Mary had told her before that she wasn't in charge of the second floor, for an expert was handling Xavier's affairs.
• Obviously, the expert she meant was Josiah. Josiah most probably knew that Xavier wasn't in a coma.
• “This is Dr. Houghton,” Mary introduced. “He's in charge of taking care of Mr. Xavier. Mrs. Fairchild, you're sharing a room with him now, so there are many things to take note of. Dr. Houghton will let you know everything. He'll bring you upstairs now.”
• Josiah looked like a gentleman, but his gaze was sharp.
• Winnie didn't like how he was observing her.
• He seemed reluctant to believe she was mentally challenged and kept scanning her with his eyes behind the glasses.
• “No. I don't want to follow Specky.” Winnie curled into a ball and inched away to a corner in the room. Fear crept into her gaze as she said, “He's scary when he looks at me with his glasses. I don't want to leave with him! Mary, protect me!”
• Amused, Mary shot Josiah a look that seemed to say, “See? I told you she's dumb.”
• “Mrs. Fairchild, look what I have here.” In the end, Mary had to resort to candy to bribe Winnie.
• Mary discovered that Winnie would listen to her obediently whenever she offered food.
• As expected, Winnie was attracted by the candy.
• Seeing that, Mary gave the remaining candy in her pocket to Josiah. “Mrs. Fairchild, listen to Dr. Houghton, and he'll give you candy.”
• Winnie followed Josiah to Xavier's room on the second floor.
• However, Xavier was nowhere to be seen in his bedroom. They heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and realized he was taking a shower.
• Knowing Josiah was still observing her, Winnie kept her act and deliberately drooled everywhere as she sucked on her lollipop.
• Suddenly, Josiah tossed one candy to the ground beside Winnie's feet.
• He was obviously testing her, so Winnie stared at the candy for a while before picking it up. It was the first candy.
• The second candy was tossed to the TV cabinet, and the third landed at the corner of a wall.
• The fourth was dropped into the dustbin.
• Every time Josiah tossed out a piece of candy, Winnie would run over to pick it up. She seemed delighted by his actions and allowed herself to be teased like a dog.
• I'm trying to insult her, but she doesn't seem affected at all.
• Josiah's brows furrowed up. If she isn't mentally challenged, she must be good at putting up an act!
• He strode over to her and was about to ask a few more questions when the bathroom door was pushed open.
• “That's enough, Josiah.” It was Xavier, who was done with his shower.
• A towel was wrapped around his waist, exposing his upper torso. His expression was dark as he warned, “Don't go overboard.”
• “I just wanted to confirm things. You know it's an occupational disease of mine.” Josiah shrugged nonchalantly.
• “Still, it doesn't mean you can bully her this way!”
• At the moment, Winnie was busy digging through the dustbin but was laughing hysterically deep down.
• It looks like Xavier pities me for being dumb. If that's the case, I don't mind making my image more miserable.
• After finding the candy, she hurried over to Xavier and hugged him tightly, ignoring the fact that he had just stepped out of the shower.
• “Handsome, protect me. Specky is an evil man! He threw away the candy Mary gave me. They're mine! Handsome, you should beat him up!”
• Xavier only had a towel wrapped around his waist.
• He felt extremely awkward as Winnie hugged him tightly and wriggled about.
• “Winnie.” Xavier stiffened as his voice grew gruff without him realizing it. “Let me go.”
• “No!” Winnie tightened her arms around him. “Specky is glaring at me. I'm scared!”
• She was no innocent woman. It wouldn't hurt for her to hug someone as handsome and built as Xavier.
• If the chance were to arise, she didn't mind sleeping with him a few nights.
• “Winnie, be good. I'll teach him a lesson. So just let go of me first, okay?”
• How could she... This is pure torture! She has no idea how soft her body is, huh? Look at her, all pretty and seductive.
• Sensing the change in Xavier's body, Winnie knew it was time to let him off the hook. After all, it wasn't the right time to satisfy their desires.
• She whined, “Okay. Beat him up. You must beat him up! Beat him until he dies!”
• After stating her request, she released her grip on Xavier.
• Alas, the towel was already loose as she was moving around earlier.
• Winnie pinned the towel to his body when she hugged him a while ago. Now that she had released him, the towel naturally dropped to the ground.
• “Wow!” Curious, Winnie squatted down and asked, “What is this?”
• Xavier, who often scowled, grimaced, or looked sullen, had never blushed in the past twenty or more years of his life. That day, his cheeks suddenly flamed.
• Josiah's cheeks also turned pink even though he had seen countless patients' bodies in his career.
• She has a cheeky grin on her lips even though Xavier had just flashed himself. No woman in their right mind will act this way! I guess she's really not acting.
