Ever since Yvette had decided to get a divorce, she had never thought about being a real couple with Xavier.He touched her loose hair and said, "Say my name."She softly said, "Xav."He wanted to kiss her again. Unfortunately, someone rang the doorbell and interrupted the beautiful moment. It turned out that someone had brought them some food.…After an hour, they were done with breakfast."Don't you have anything to do at the office today?" Yvette tried asking.Xavier noticed that she wanted to leave him badly. "Yeah. I've assigned most of the work to others."He thought he should've done that earlier. As the CEO of the company, he had too many tasks. It made sense for him to let others share his burden.Yvette couldn't help feeling frustrated. If he didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to return to the room to get the cup of semen.He looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to go to the office?"She shook her head. "No. I was just curious.""I'll drop all the work I have
While Xavier and Yvette were on their way to Sangine County, it started to rain heavily.As Yvette sat in the passenger seat, her eyes happened to land on Xavier's gorgeous side profile, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly retracted her gaze and looked out the window. Before she had gotten him for herself, she used to think he was hard to approach. But now, she had touched every inch of his body.No matter how aloof a man was, his relationship with someone else would change after having skin contact.Xavier had noticed that she had been looking at him. So, he held her hand when they were taking a break from driving. "I'm not used to you being so quiet."Yvette looked at him as he added, "You used to talk nonstop."When she heard that, she couldn't help smiling bitterly. "In that case, you definitely don't remember saying that you hated me talking too much."Xavier was stunned, and it suddenly felt tense in the car. Yvette thought she had said something she shouldn't have
Yvette stared at the familiar face under the soft light and didn't know what to say. Xavier lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and she tightened her grip on the blanket. "I'm a little tired now, so I don't want to do it today."He was stunned for a moment. Then, he held her tightly and said nothing.Yvette leaned against his embrace and could hear his heartbeat. "Xav…""Yeah?""Do you remember the first time we hugged?" she suddenly asked.When Xavier heard that, he thought about the time she had hugged him for the first time. It had been their first night after their wedding. James had just passed away back then, but Xavier had dragged her away.Xavier didn't understand why she had suddenly asked him about that. He thought she was complaining about him. "What happened in the past will never happen again."He seldom apologized, and this was his way of admitting his mistakes.However, Yvette looked at him in confusion; she didn't understand what he meant by that. The fir
When Yvette heard that, she held Xavier's hand and hugged him. Then, she gently kissed his lips. That was all she planned to do. However, he set the plates down and placed his hand behind her head. Then, he kissed her more passionately.Xavier didn't know why, but when they were doing something so intimately, he couldn't see any emotions in her eyes at all. He felt upset and bit her lip.Yvette winced in pain. She wanted to push him away, but he grabbed her hand tightly. So, she bit himback for revenge, and she didn't stop until she tasted blood.Xavier breathed heavily as he held her face with his big hand. "Look at me and say my name."She looked up and noticed the reddened lips she had bitten. "Xav." She was emotionless and wasn't the same young woman who only had him in her eyes anymore.Xavier's heart ached, and his eyes reddened a little. Then, he picked her up. He didn't care about her rejection anymore and placed her on the couch. "Say my name!"Yvette didn't know what
The bedroom was filled with James' belongings from when he had still been alive. One of the items was a portrait of Yvette that he had painted. After he had passed away, Yara and Terrence had failed to manage the company well. In the end, they'd had no choice but to put every valuable item in the house up for auction.When Yvette had returned to the country, she had tried her best to find everything James had left behind, especially this portrait. She had been less than 20 years old in the portrait, sitting on a balcony in her white dress. She was smiling while holding a large bouquet.Yvette slowly walked to the portrait. When she saw it, she immediately thought of James. When he had been painting the portrait, he had looked so kind.She reached out and gently touched the portrait. She could barely get the words out of her mouth. "I thought I would never see this portrait again."James had painted it for her, and it was priceless. She had never expected that Xavier would be
The fireworks dazzled in the sky and disappeared in an instant. A couple stood near Yvette, and the woman held the man's hand while saying, "Let's be together forever." Yvette looked at them from behind and suddenly wanted to be in a relationship.Ever since she had started to like Xavier, she had rejected every man who had been interested in her. She had never dated anyone and had married Xavier just like that. She had never experienced being in a relationship before. She looked at the dark sky and started to tear up. Then, she softly said, "Dad, I'm having regrets now."She regretted marrying Xavier and regretted insisting on choosing someone who didn't love her.The fireworks ended at 8:30 pm, and everyone left the scene. When Mark arrived to pick Yvette up, he saw her standing there alone. She looked really lonely from behind.Mark remembered how his fiancée had told him that a person had to make someone they loved feel safe. One couldn't let another woman affect their rela
It was a dreary day with constant rain.Yvette Snyder stood at the entrance of the hospital, her body frail, clutching a pregnancy report in her thin hands. Three words on the report stood out: "No pregnancy detected"."You've been married for three years. How are you not pregnant?" Her mother, Yara Cadwell, demanded, jabbing a finger in Yvette's face disappointedly. Yara was dressed lavishly and wore high heels. "Why are you so useless? If you don't get pregnant soon, the Lanes are going to kick you out of the family. What's going to happen to our family then?"Yvette looked at Yara blankly. She had a lot to say, but the words were stuck in her throat. In the end, all she could manage was, "I'm sorry.""I don't want you to be sorry. I want you to give birth to Xavier's child. Do you understand me?"Yvette's throat felt tight; she didn't know how to answer Yara.In their three years of marriage, her husband, Xavier Lane, had never slept with her.How could she ever have his ch
Everyone in the private room looked over at the door. For a moment, the room was eerily silent.Yvette immediately caught sight of Xavier in the middle of the room. His eyes were clear and bright. He was clearly not drunk.She knew that she had been tricked by Daphne.When Xavier saw Yvette, his pupils constricted.Everyone else in the room looked awkward, including Tristan, who had been the most vocal in getting Xavier to accept Daphne's confession earlier.Yvette shouldn't have gone there.Daphne was the first to break the silence. "Please don't get the wrong idea, Yvvy. Tristan was joking. Xavier and I are just friends."Before Yvette could answer, Xavier stood up impatiently. "There's no need to explain it to her."Then, he stalked over to Yvette. "What are you doing here?""I thought you were drunk, so I came to take you home," Yvette answered truthfully.Xavier scoffed. "You really didn't retain anything I told you, did you?"Lowering his voice, he said softly so that
