She felt as though there was a touch of warm sunlight shining on her cold heart, heating her up on the inside.
“Thank you, Stefan. I’m fine. I can solve this matter on my own.”
“Would it have ended up on the hot search if you could solve it by yourself? Xavia, I hope that you can understand that even if our relationship now is not the same as it was before, we are still friends. There’s no need for you to be so courteous and distant from me, right?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that this matter is really a long story and there’s nothing that I need help with. You saw the hot search too; everyone on the network is concerned about this matter now. They will not dare to treat me too badly.”
“You can rest assured that I will definitely call you if I need help,” she said.
Xavia’s voice was very determined and serious.
Stefan was helpless and he did not know what he could do about her.
Forget about her calling him to ask for help, iIf he hadn’t found out about this matter, Xavia would never have told him about what had happened either.
However, he did not have the right or status to force her to receive his protection now.
“By the way, Stefan, I heard Miss Whitham saying that you were feeling unwell before this. Are you feeling better now?” Xavia changed the subject. She was also concerned about him.
Stefan narrowed his eyes.
In fact, when Lily had sent him food before this call, he knew that it was Xavia’s cooking as soon as he tasted the food.
Xavia’s cooking was never too salty or too bland; to him, it always tasted just right.
He did not expose her, though, and he’d also forced himself to eat all the other food that he did not have the appetite to eat when he thought about how she was secretly caring for him.
“Mm. I’m fine.”
“Who knows if you’re really telling the truth? Anyway, you’re already an adult. You have to take care of yourself as well as Miss Whitham and the baby. You have to take care of them too.”
Lily did not hesitate to go out of her way to contact Xavia the last time because of Stefan’s health. It was evident that Lily really loved Stefan.
Stefan’s eyes darkened slightly. He was obviously not too eager to talk about Lily with Xavia.
After all, if it weren’t for Lily, he would have the status to protect Xavia now.
Moreover, whenever Xavia took the initiative to show concern for his relationship with Lily, this only proved that Xavia did not love him.
Stefan spoke up and talked to her about other topics.
After a few more topic changes, the both of them spoke for five minutes before hanging up the phone.
Xavia felt a warmth in her heart.
