Chapter 26 - CHAPTER 25: XAVIER

"What are you thinking about?"

A question was suddenly thrown at the young guard, who was in his own world, thinking about the answers that he couldn't get, catching him off guard in the process.

Raising his head to look at the person who had disturbed him from his thoughts. He suddenly straightened himself upon seeing that it was one of the older guards with a lot more experience under his belt.

Raising his hand to scratch his head, the young guard answered foolishly at the senior guards, "Hehe, I was just thinking about something silly."

"Oh! What might it be? You never know, I might have the answers that you seek!" the senior guard became so curious that he offered his services right there.

He had been silently watching over the young guard, who was not afraid of that inmate. He was quite curious about what really went on in his mind.

Upon hearing that, the young guard looked at the senior with anticipatory eyes as he asked without delay, "Senior, does inmate 9875 have a family outside? Like a wife or kids?"

The senior guard was caught back upon hearing such an unexpected question. What was he thinking about all day?

"Why are you asking me such questions?" the senior guard couldn't help but ask, wondering why the other was curious about that.

Scratching his head embarrassingly, the young man still shamelessly responded. As he was determined to get some answers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest well.

"I was just curious as to the reason why he would be happy to meet his former inmates. I don't think that there is anything happy about that!" he answered.

Listening to the young guard's reasoning, the senior guard couldn't help but find the young guard to be very cute and funny.

But since he had promised to give the other answers, he decided to fulfill his promise.

At least the young guard wasn't having any crazy thoughts and was just curious. Inmate 9875 was very famous in prison, and a lot of people held different thoughts about him.

"He doesn't have a wife or kids. But I heard that he adopted some child back then, though we aren't sure who that kid is. And I bet that those two are here to give him a report about the child," the senior guard answered while giving the young guard the information he had heard about before.

Getting that answer, the young guard's shambled thoughts couldn't help but begin to sort themselves out, relief washing over him.

"Okay, I guess that answers it all. He must love him so much!"

"We all think so, but who cares? In only two years, he will be out of here!"

Hearing that, the young guard's mood which was in the process of getting better suddenly turned sour, making the senior guard to be greatly worried about his condition.

'He must be going through some bad stuff!' he thought as he resumed his journey.

Inside the reception hall, Travis was busy talking while Craig and inmate 9875 were busy listening.

"Big brother Xavier, I am telling you. This was just uploaded yesterday. You know how I love stalking her. Hehe, I saw it. That little lass is finally dating!" speaking excitedly, Travis, who couldn't hide his joy, shamelessly informed his brother.

Xavier maintained a smile on his face as he listened to the news regarding his favorite child in the world.

"After spending a year, we all thought that she wouldn't cave in. I guess that the lad finally did something that made her agree this time!" Craig added as he nodded his head with a smile pasted on his face.

Xavier adjusted his sitting posture while he placed his hands on the table before looking at the two men who were part of his family.

After so many years, only a few brothers were with him. So, he was very glad that even at a time like this, he still had people like Craig and Travis with him.

And these two were also there to look after the child, one that made him have insomnia whenever he thought of how troubled the other was.

"Show me the young man again. It's been a while since I saw what he looks like!" Xavier calmly ordered as he looked at Travis, who was holding his phone in his hand.

As if he was waiting for that comment, Travis speedily pushed the phone towards Xavier who picked it up.

Frowning now and then, and then smiling after, as he browsed through the gallery, Xavier was filled with all sorts of emotions. And they ranged from happiness to rage.

"She looks very happy in the photos!" Xavier commented as he looked at a certain photo where Darica was looking affectionately at the young lad.

A lad he wished he could go out and give a beating for stealing the cabbage he painstakingly raised for years.

As a godfather, what he wished for his favorite and only daughter was for her to be happy. And the fact that someone else's child stole his child from him didn't sit well with him at all.

He had heard about the many notorious acts of the young lad and he also thought that they wouldn't get paired up no matter what. But who would have guessed that those two finally were dating after going through that?

And seeing her smiling like that, something that he barely saw in the five years that he was with her. Xavier felt a pang in his heart and at the same time, he felt happy that she was finally treating herself better than before.

"Seeing her like that, I couldn't help but want to visit you as soon as possible. The first thought that came to my mind was how she might be finally willing to let the past go and live for herself. I can't afford to see her back in that state, ever again!" Travis' tone went cold at the end as upsetting memories flooded his mind.

Hearing Travis's answer, Xavier who had a smile on his face admiring his charming daughter, suddenly turned cold as he faced Travis.

"Have you found anything yet?" Xavier suddenly asked after he was reminded of another crucial matter after hearing Travis's words.

Travis, hearing that question, froze in place as he looked guiltily towards Xavier.

Gritting his teeth in anger, Xavier looked at Travis, whose expression was exposing it all.

He could tell that Travis had not done a single thing regarding that matter and that upset him.

It was even more than seeing his goddaughter with a lad from God knows where.

"Tell me, what have you been doing all this while?" Xavier asked in a heavy tone, leaving no room for any excuses.

Seeing that happening, Craig knew that the inevitable was coming.

'Just why did he have to remind the big boss of that issue again? Isn't he afraid of getting a beating?'

As much as he feared for his beloved to be beaten blue and black by Xavier, Craig was also looking forward to it.

Travis had been too naughty recently. And it wouldn't hurt to teach him a lesson.

Where else would Travis find such a loving and caring lover like him?
