Chapter 49: Not good.

After Daisy returned home, she was lost in her own thoughts thinking about the words of her step mother. She trusted Xavier but somewhere inside her, she was scared he would get bored of her one day and leave her as to begin with their marriage was a flash.

She was walking up the stairs while thinking that she did not notice she just skipped one stair and was about to fall. She waited for the impact to come but it never came as an arm wrapped around her body.

"What are you doing? You could have gotten hurt, babygirl. Where is your mind wandering to? You know how injured you'd be if you have fallen off the stairs. Why do you always get me worried?", Xavier chided while he helped her stand properly.

Daisy quietly stared at his face without saying any word. She cupped his face with both her hands and caressed his cheeks with her thumbs. "Did you even hear what I said, babygirl?", he frowned and sighed deeply upon seeing her face.
