Xavier and Leila went upstairs to find Cornelius a little while later. They were holding hands together like a pair of enchanted lovebirds. Leila had a shy smile while Xavier had a satisfied aura.
The two found Cornelius in the living room with a few files on the table. His face was like a thundercloud. When he looked up, his eyes lingered on their clasped hand for a moment with a meaningful glint.
Leila immediately tried to pull her hand away, but Xavier did not allow it. If anything, his hold became even tighter.
"I see the two of you have reconciled," Cornelius said with a smile despite his earlier expression.
Leila did not want to discuss her relationship with Xavier with Cornelius. It felt a little embarrassing because the Ghost King knew her when she was younger, and he was an elder of authority in her life.
