Chapter 94: Away From Her
When the car stopped right in front of Darkwood Villa, Iris was surprised to see Niles there. His expression differed from his usual calm face; this time, his face looked stiff and even paler.
"What happened, Xavier? Why does Niles look sick?" Iris asked. Feeling worried, she followed him out of the car.
Xavier didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Niles as if they were communicating silently through their eyes. After a few seconds, Xavier mirrored Niles’ expression, but this went unnoticed by Iris.
"Iris, I need to speak with Niles," Xavier suddenly stopped and turned to face Iris, who looked up at him with a curious gaze. When he saw her nod, he continued, "You can go to the shooting range with Justin." As he spoke, Justin appeared from the door and greeted Iris.
"Okay, don’t mind me," Iris understood that something important was happening, and she didn’t want to delay Xavier with her curiosity.
Xavier nodded and gently touched her neck, rubbing her cheeks lovingly. He whispered, "Have fun practicing your shooting skills. I’ll join you later; I won’t be long."
"Hmm, go," Iris returned his smile to reassure him. After watching Xavier and Niles enter the house, she turned to Justin, and together, they headed to the underground shooting range.
