"Miss Crawford asked me to stay here and look after her until she's healed." Paige smiled.
"Oh." He spared the words and turned and strode modestly upstairs, not saying much.
"I'll make dinner today, you come down for dinner later." Paige looked at his back and said.
He didn't respond and went straight ahead.
Walking to the door of the master bedroom, he took a deep look at the closed door before returning to his own room next door.
At dinner time, Paige cooked six dishes, stir-fried baby cabbage, braised sea cucumber with spring onions, ginseng chicken soup, braised boneless chicken feet, braised pork ribs and dry-fried cabbage.
The three of them had just sat down together, and Xavier's mobile phone rang.
The caller was Camille.
He first gave Madeline her favourite stir-fried baby cabbage, before getting up and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the spring view in the courtyard and answering the phone.
