Right after Malcolm said that, he started regretting it. However, since he had said it, he couldn't go back on his word. So, he secretly took Zachary to a secluded area and entered Xavier's place through the side door.When they reached there, Malcolm's heart was pounding, and he looked pleased. "See? This is my uncle's house."Zachary took a look at their surroundings and noticed a luxuriously decorated room on the east side. The pillars were made of wood. Suddenly, he put his hand on his stomach. "Ah! My tummy is hurting. I can't hold it anymore. I need a toilet!"After saying that, he immediately ran to the east before Malcolm could say anything.Malcolm instantly became anxious. "You can't go there! That's where my uncle lives!"Right after he said that, a housekeeper approached him. When she saw it was Malcolm, she couldn't help scolding him. "Where are you here, Mr. Malcolm? Mr. Lane dislikes children, so you have to leave now. Otherwise, I'll have to call him."Malcolm
"Kiki, why didn't you knock again?" Zachary looked angry."Oh! I'm sorry. I've forgotten about it." Kiki approached him and said, "Zac, do you remember what you promised me before?"He sighed. "Of course. You wanted me to pretend to be your son and help you get revenge on your ex-boyfriend, right? I'm the best when it comes to revenge. I can even find you a husband and get him to be my dad."Kiki's eyes widened as she stared at him. "Really?"He hadn't thought that she would actually believe him. In order to ensure her happiness, he patted his chest and said, "Of course! That man will definitely be better than your previous boyfriend.""How much do you want?" Kiki asked solemnly. She figured a male escort who was more handsome than Leonard wouldn't be cheap. She couldn't believe that Zachary would have connections for this at such a young age."You don't have to worry about that. We should get some sleep now. Good night." Zachary lay in bed and covered his head with his blanket.
After Xavier heard what Viola said, he immediately left the kitchen. As he walked, he accidentally bumped into a cabinet with his arm. The glass bottles on it all fell to the ground. One of them even smashed onto the back of his palm.His good-looking arm was bruised immediately. However, he didn't care at all. Although he had memorized the position of everything there in the past few days, it was inevitable that things would be moved.He only managed to reach outside the house after bumping into a few more tables and chairs. Then, he immediately called Mark and told the latter to drive over.As he waited for Mark, he finally understood the great difference between a normal person and a blind person. If he wasn't blind, he would've driven himself to look for Yvette by now. However, he had no choice but to wait for Mark.Since Mark lived nearby, he was able to reach Xavier in six minutes. When he saw Xavier standing in the snow, he thought Yvette had chased the latter out. He im
Back at the restaurant's entrance, Yvette hurriedly pulled her hand back from Claude's face. "I was young back then and didn't know what I was doing."She had only been a few years old and hadn't known about keeping her distance from other boys at all. Back then, Claude had been short and chubby. He hadn't even been as tall as Yvette. She had treated him like a younger brother. Everytime Viola had made something tasty, Yvette had taken some for him.Now, he was taller than her by a head, and he looked dashing. Most importantly, he seemed so regal that no woman wouldn't dare to place her hands on his face.As Claude looked at Yvette keeping her distance, he seemed lonely. "You don't have to have everything when you're with me."He remembered how he ha dbeen freezing during the winter when he had been young. Yvette was the one who had brought him clothes and food and made him happy. If it hadn't for her, he would've frozen to death or gotten killed.However, Yvette shook her head.
Yvette pinched Xavier's waist harder and lowered her voice. "No one's going to think you're mute if you don't say anything."It seemed as if he couldn't feel the pain at all. He said to Claude, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lander. My wife and I had planned to Netflix and chill tonight, so we won't be inviting you for dinner this time."When Claude heard that, his dashing face turned cold in an instant. He knew Xavier was trying to get on his nerves, but he couldn't help being angry.Mark had been worried about Xavier getting bullied at first. However, seeing how things were progressing, he could now breathe in relief.The people around them would look in their direction from time to time. They thought Yvette and Claude were a couple at first. Then, they realized that Xavier was Yvette's husband.They bought the pierogies under the crowd's curious gazes. Since Yvette had said that she would buy Claude some, she gave him a set of pierogies and said, "I'm heading back now.""Sure. See you next t
After Yvette tucked Viola back in bed, she went back to her room to get some rest as well. After she had been asleep for a short while, an arm suddenly hugged her from behind. "Yvvy."She didn't realize when Xavier had entered her room. He held her tightly with one arm and placed his other hand on her belly. "What are you doing, Xavier?" Even though he had lost his memories, he still had the same habit of barging into someone else's room! He hadn't wanted to touch her at first. It wouldn't be wise for him to do so as well since she was in her first trimester.However, he thought about how she had met Claude in private and what Mark had said earlier. Then, he kissed the back of her ear.His warm breath made goosebumps appear on Yvette's body. "Don't you dare, Xavier!"He whispered next to her ear, and she was stunned again. She instantly understood what he was saying, and her face became bright red like a ripe tomato. "I don't need it!" After saying that, she immediately cover
Yvette only left after lecturing Xavier. Now, he would let her scold him as much as she wanted and wouldn't get angry at all. Instead, he would just look at her innocently with his deep, dark eyes. Although she knew he was blind, she still couldn't help feeling worried.…Noah was staying at the hospital, and Zachary had told him about Xavier staying with Yvette. He had also learned about how Xavier had been in an accident and had lost his eyesight. Someone was even impersonating him."He deserves everything," Noah said angrily.Zachary also said from the other end of the call, "Yeah, that's karma.""It's too bad that we weren't the ones who delivered justice." Noah sighed.Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately told Zachary, "Zac, Mr. Lander is going to visit me with Mom today. I want them to be together. What do you think?"The brothers knew how well Claude had treated Yvette when they had been living abroad. Claude wasn't like Xavier, who'd been in a relationship w
As the three of them walked in the snow, they looked a lot like a family. While Claude held Yvette's hand, her palm was covered in sweat. He only let go of her when they reached a restaurant to have something to eat.Noah wanted to let the two of them have some time to themselves, so he asked the waiter to bring him to the restroom. After he had left, Yvette immediately apologized. "I'm truly sorry. Noah only did that because he never had a father before."Claude wasn't married yet. Anyone in his shoes would've been upset when they had to pretend to be someone else's father. However, he didn't mind."Actually, I kinda liked it."Yvette finally relaxed when she heard that.When they were done talking about Noah, Claude couldn't help thinking about yesterday. "Why didn't you tell me you were living with Xavier?"Right after he said that, he regretted it. After all, he had no right to ask her that. Meanwhile, Yvette thought nothing of it. She told him how she had used her affair
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
