Xavier was surprised by the realization. So, he did love her?
Why did he have to realize it now, when Elena had become unattainable to him? What good would this realization do?
He grabbed his temple and pressed hard. He hated himself at this point. Why torture himself with these feelings? As he always told himself, he was too busy for romance, and he shouldn't open his heart to anyone.
However, she came out of nowhere, and suddenly their lives were entangled. If Elleard didn't marry Elena, maybe Xavier's feelings for her wouldn't grow this far. She would still be that cute girl he once saved.
However, since Elena became a madam in the Osbart family, they met often and Xavier had to see her life change before his very eyes. Now, she looked so cute and stylish with all the latest fashion Elleard provided for her. She also fell in love and Xavier could see her eyes looking bright and happy whenever she saw Elleard.
