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
Even though Noah liked to act coy, Yvette knew he wouldn't usually cause a scene. He was already in great pain because of his illness. Since it was rare for him to have his eyes set on a toy, she figured he was naturally upset when he couldn't get it."Please don't cry, Noah. I'll think of another way, alright?"At that moment, Claude immediately said, "Noah, I'll win you the toy with Mom, alright?"When Noah heard what Claude said, he stopped crying and looked at the man with his huge eyes. "Alright." After saying that, he looked at Yvette again. "Do your best with Dad, Mom."When Yvette saw what was happening, she didn't know what else to say.The three of them registered their names at the game. When there were ten couples ready, the staff explained the rules. The game was simple. Each person would stand face-to-face with their partners. After they were blindfolded, the staff would drop something on a rope, like a piece of paper or an apple.The participants would have to
Claude hadn't just come back for Yvette alone. He had also returned for the project that Xavier had taken away from him before. Since he knew the current CEO at Lane Group was an imposter, he wasn't worried at all.Mark hadn't expected Claude to be so arrogant. Now that Xavier had lost his memories, there was no way Mark was going to tell him what Claude had said. However, Claude was determined to make Xavier see the reality of things.Xavier was using his braille laptop at home as he waited for Yvette to come back. It was already 8:00 pm, but she hadn't returned yet. Usually, she would've reached home by now.At that moment, Xavier received a message on his phone. He quickly picked it up and played the message. "Mr. Lane, this is Claude. I just want to let you know that Yvvy has been with me today, and she'll be going home late."After hearing the message, Xavier's face darkened. He couldn't focus on his work anymore, and he got up to leave the room. It was snowing heavily outsi
It felt like Yvette had just removed her hand from a freezer when she placed it on Xavier's chest. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't feel cold at all. Instead, he could feel his blood pumping throughout his body.Yvette didn't have anywhere else to place her other hand, and she accidentally touched his face. It was burning. "You're having a fever, Xavier," she weakly said.It was freezing that day, but Xavier's face was hot to the touch. So, she figured he was having a fever.Xavier pursed his lips and gulped. "I meant what I said last night."She couldn't hear what he said and only saw his mouth moving. So, she gave him a perfunctory answer. "Yeah."Xavier walked faster. When they finally reached home, Viola saw them covered in snow. She quickly got them a towel and asked, "Why did you come home so late?"Xavier accepted the towel and helped Yvette wipe away the snow. Yvette was so cold that she couldn't move. However, she still comforted Viola.Since she didn't want Viola
