Chapter 137: Sudden Departure
Two months later.
Many things had happened since Iris began living with Xavier, but most importantly, she had adapted well. She also felt grateful for Xavier’s kindness and affection toward her.
However, one thing that piqued her curiosity was that Xavier never slept in her room. She didn’t know whether she should be happy about it or not.
They were busy with their college days in the past months and enjoyed numerous activities near the villa. Xavier had also taken her to his beach house a few times during the weekends.
The weather had been much warmer in the last few days as spring slowly approached. The forest behind the house was already turning green, and the lake was no longer frozen.
What had made her especially happy lately was the news that her grandmother was thoroughly enjoying her trip to the Asian continent. She had heard from Grand Uncle Finley about her grandma’s health, and she was healthy and happy so far.
Apart from that, she hadn’t received any new assignments from Lucian in the past two months and hadn’t communicated with Gavriel either. She felt relaxed as if she were on vacation.
...
Today, Iris didn’t have any plans to leave the house as it was the weekend. However, a knock on the door woke her up.
When she checked the clock on the nightstand, it was only seven in the morning. This worried her because it was the first time Xavier had woken her up like this.
She immediately opened the door to find Xavier wearing a worried expression, which was unusual for her to see.
