Chapter 18 Unexpected Delay_1

Basil Jaak can't stand to see a girl crying. Seeing Xenia Wendleton bawling her eyes out, besides admiring her tear duct productivity, what else could he do? He handed her a tissue and said, "Stop crying, it's all in the past. You're not missing an arm or a leg, don't let that fatty take advantage of you!"

"But, this incident has caused irreversible damage to my soul." Xenia lifted her head, snatched the tissue from Basil's hand, continued crying while wiping her tears.

"Alright, stop crying. You're making it seem like I'm the one to blame." Upon hearing Basil's words, Xenia's crying didn't stop, on the contrary, it got louder. Glaring at Basil, she sobbed, "You're still saying that you're not to blame, you scared me so much this morning, I thought... Humph!"

"Will apologizing suffice?" Basil spread his hands in innocence.
