When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 923: Stopped Right After Leaving

"I feel even more apologetic for coming over to use the computer and disturbing you." This was her true feeling; if she hadn’t come today, he wouldn’t have had to spend so much. A phone costs at least several thousand.

"If you speak like this, it makes me feel distant."

But he held her wrist firmly, as if he wouldn’t let go unless she accepted the phone, their eyes continually meeting.

"Father and mother like you so much; don’t you see yourself as part of the Xavier Family?"

She couldn’t answer his question; she was grateful but simply didn’t want him to spend so much.

They stood in a stalemate.

Seeing that she finally lost her strong desire to refuse, he slowly relaxed his grip, released her hand, and started setting up the phone for her again.

Gia stood by the desk waiting silently; the study was exceptionally quiet. Looking at Nathan Xavier, his elegant and gentle demeanor resembled a noble scholar from ancient books.

He could sense her gaze but was patient as he configured the phone, neither communicating with her nor looking at her.

Once it was set up, he used the new phone to dial his own number.

The quiet study was filled with the sound of a ringing phone.

Nathan hung up and then saved his number in her phone, noting it as Nathan Xavier.

"My number is saved here, you can call me if you need anything," he said, handing the new phone to her, "I always have my phone on 24/7."

She knew he was sincere; now that he had bought it, it seemed inappropriate to refuse.

So she reached out with both hands and cautiously took it, "Thank you, Young Master Xavier."

"You can call me Nathan or Nathan Xavier," his gentle gaze fell upon her, "Calling me Young Master Xavier seems a bit formal; I think we aren’t in a master-servant relationship."

Gia looked at his gentle demeanor, feeling no sense of distance, "Nathan Xavier, thank you for the phone."

Hearing this, Nathan was happier than anything else that she accepted it joyfully.

This is exactly like gifting roses with lingering fragrance.

Just as Gia left the study with her phone, she hadn’t walked far with Lake when they ran into Rhiannon Xavier.

Rhiannon Xavier, like a ghost in the dark, had been observing her, as if also observing Nathan Xavier.

The few stopped in their tracks; it was as if night was about to fall, the glow of the sunset had dissipated, and the moon hung over the treetops, with the courtyard lights just coming on.

"Good evening, Miss," Lake quickly greeted, smiling.

But Rhiannon Xavier’s indifferent gaze landed on Gia, as if she didn’t plan to move.

Gia also stopped in her tracks, Lake glanced at them and could only stand silently aside.

She didn’t know what was happening, but the atmosphere felt a bit unusual.

"Hello, Miss Xavier," Gia said, holding the new phone and taking the initiative to greet Rhiannon Xavier.

Rhiannon Xavier saw her coming from her brother’s place and noticed the phone in her hand, and immediately felt displeased!

But when she looked at Lake, Rhiannon’s face showed a smile, "Lake, why don’t you head back first, I’ll accompany Miss Gia on a walk, and introduce her to other parts of the manor. I’ll bring her back shortly."

Lake smiled and nodded, "Alright." Then she turned and left; she hadn’t noticed anything amiss, which was quite normal, given Rhiannon Xavier’s two-faced nature.

Moreover, in Xavier Manor, this Miss Xavier’s reputation is quite good. Every time she returns from abroad, she brings gifts for the staff.
