Chapter 276

“Umm…”
Xavier briefly touched his nose in awkwardness. He was not so insolent now, and he acted
rather uneasily and awkwardly.
Humph! After all, he had a favor to ask, and he had to beg the woman he looked down the
most. Of course, he felt like he had lost face.
“Are you free now? I’ll buy you coffee.”
Xavier hesitated for a long while before he asked her that.
Renee smiled and said, “Mr. Stuart, am I not your friend? Do you want to poison my
coffee?”
She was well aware of Xavier’s attitude toward her. He never regarded her seriously, and he
always found her an eyesore.
However, he offered a symbol of peace by taking the novelxo initiative to invite her for
coffee. That was indeed strange.
Consequently, Xavier’s handsome face soon fell, and he said angrily, “Am I such a mean
and vulgar man to you?”
Renee raised her brows and asked, “Aren’t you?”
“Why, you!”
Xavier was greatly infuriated, and he flew into a rage. He exclaimed violently, “I’m a
righteous man. I’m not despicable enough to use ush dirty tricks. I’ve long regarded you as
an eyesore, and I hope you’ll leave Stefan. But at most, I just curse you quietly. I’ll never use
such a mean trick as to drug you!”
He was very angry but tried his best to suppress his wrath and explain it to her seriously.
Hence, Renee was rather amused.
She decided to stop teasing him and said generously, “Well, sure. I’ll force myself to give
you a chance.”
They decided to go to Starfee next door.
“Miss Ren!”
Margaret frowned and became vigilant as she glared at Xavier.
Smiling, Renee assured her. “Margaret, just go home. He’s my friend. It’s okay.”
Friend?
That word sounded casual, but it felt like a great surprise to Xavier. Powerful emotions
engulfed him in that instant.
He stole a glance at her with his slender and pretty eyes. When he noticed her gaze, he
quickly averted his gaze as if he was caught red-handed. His heartbeat inexplicably
quickened.
Renee… addressed him as her friend.
He was so rude to her, and he always raised sarcastic remarks. However, she did not hold a
grudge against him and treated him as her friend.
For a moment, he felt very embarrassed about himself.
“You’ve got to be careful even if he’s your friend!”
Margaret stared at Xavier with hostility. She stated, “People always frame their friends
nowadays. What’s more, this person looks like a frivolous man. I’m sure he’s not some kind
of good person.”
Xavier’s handsome face was distorted out of fury, but he could not vent his anger on an
elder. Hence, he clenched his fists and hurriedly defended himself. “Madam, that’s not very
nice. Why aren’t I a good man? Check out the charity donation lists these years. I’m always
at the top of the list. I even helped old ladies to cross the road, saved the kids who were
drowned, and helped stray cats find their homes. Of course. I’m a good guy. ■
“Umm…”
For a moment, Margaret did not know how to react to that.
She never saw anyone who was so serious like that. She wondered why he behaved like a
child.
Renee noticed him rolling up his sleeves to try and convince Margaret. She immediately
held his arm and said, “Let’s go. I know that you’re a good guy!”
He was struck speechless.
He was rambling, but even that soon stopped.
He looked at Renee’s fair and slim hand on his arm. He was lost in a daze, and he was
rooted to the ground
