Chapter 140

Xavier lifted his head to look at Yvette. "What did she want from you?"

She showed him the blank check Shanon gave her. "She gave me this and asked me to leave you."

He stared at the check and asked, "Did you tell her you would?"

She shook her head. "Of course I didn't. We had an agreement." If she'd left him, how was she supposed to have a third child? She needed to save Noah too.

She pushed the check toward him. "Here. You can have it back."

He picked it up. After briefly looking at it, he chucked it into the trash. Then, his gaze darkened as it fell on her face. The allergy symptoms hadn't cleared up yet.

"You made the right choice. Even if you had actually filled in a number on that check, I wouldn't have given you the money."

Upon hearing this, Yvette clenched her fists. He was dismissing all her hopes of leaving!

Xavier wiped his hands with a warm towel before standing up to walk toward her. Before she realized what was going on, his fingers fell on the rash on her neck.
