Chapter 74: Wash My Feet
"Selene," Xavier called, rushing towards her. He took the gun from her hands immediately.
"What is a gun doing in your room, Xavier?" She questioned.
Xavier placed the gun away before he replied to her, "It was for protection."
He wasn’t lying. He had a lot of enemies and feared that one of them might infiltrate his mansion, especially when he was unprepared. To ensure his and her safety, he secretly kept a gun in his house, hidden away from the eyes of the maids.
The other day Selene had worn his clothes, and he immediately moved the gun away while being glad that she didn’t spot it. But now, he didn’t know how to explain it to her properly so that she would understand without getting the wrong ideas.
"For protection? You have security men stationed outside of your mansion, Xavier. What if the police see you with a gun? Do you kill people with it?" Selene questioned. Tears pooled in her eyes as she feared for Xavier’s safety. It was illegal to have the ownership of a gun. No matter how influential the person was, they weren’t allowed to have a gun in their house.
"It is for protection," Xavier repeated, wiping her tears from her cheeks. "Just in case something happened, Selene," he added.
He hadn’t expected her to react in such a way. But also, he didn’t expect her to find his gun either.
Xavier pulled her into a hug to help console her but she didn’t let her.
