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. JrNovels.com
