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
The two of them sat face-to-face, and it felt awkward. Xavier said something first. "Why didn't you tell me when you couldn't hear a thing?"Yvette kept her head down, and she looked like she was in a daze. "I thought my hearing would get better when I got home."He held up his hand to touch her, but she avoided him. Xavier's hand froze in mid-air, and he asked, "Who were you with today, Yvvy?"Yvette was stunned, and she looked up at him. "Did you send someone to follow me again?"That was what he had loved to do before he had lost his memories.He was stunned because he didn't understand what she meant by "again". He didn't know when he had ever sent someone to follow her.Before he could explain himself, the door to Viola's room opened, and the doctor came out. He said Viola had been too agitated and fainted. She wasn't in any danger, but she had to stay calm in the future.Mark came out as well and looked at Yvette. His gaze was cold when he thought about what he had seen th
Yvette scoffed when she heard what Yara said. Yara might be Yvette's mother, but she couldn't wait to kill her where she stood."I made the money through my hard work. If you want it, earn it yourself and stop trying to scare me."After saying that, Yvette ended the call. Then, she tried calling Matthew. As expected, she couldn't get to him at all. It seemed to her that she had to return to Tirion to take care of it.Yvette immediately got up and checked on Viola. The latter had woken up as well. When she found out about the misunderstanding last night, she was in a daze."Has Xavier really changed?""I'm not sure as well. Get some rest and stop worrying about everything else.""Sure." Viola agreed with a nod.Then, Yvette told Viola that a friend of hers was in trouble and that she had to take care of it. "Alright. Go on. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."There was no way Yvette wouldn't worry about Viola being alone with Xavier. "I'll hire a caretaker to take
Since it had snowed the whole night, the housekeepers were clearing the snow outside Dewberry Manor.Xavier sat in the car and didn't enter the manor. Then, Mark saw someone entering the building. It was Jeremiah.Mark told Xavier about it immediately and asked, "Shall we head over there now?"Since there were so many housekeepers at the manor at that moment, Jeremiah's identity would be exposed if Xavier went there now.A few days ago, Jeremiah had been staying at Lane Mansion due to the complications with his identity. Xavier hadn't expected him to move into Dewberry Manor so soon.First, Jeremiah had stolen his identity. Then, he had snatched the company. Now, he had taken Xavier's manor as well.Xavier wondered if Jeremiah was going to snatch his wife and the people close to him next."There's no rush." Xavier's voice pulled Mark back to his senses, and he had no choice but to stop his car somewhere far away.Although he had worked for Xavier for a long time, he had only he
When Daphne heard Jeremiah telling her to kneel in front of Yvette, she was shocked. She looked at him in disbelief as she clenched her fists tightly.If Yvette and Andy hadn't released the video and destroyed her reputation, she wouldn't have become so miserable. Now, Jeremiah was actually making her kneel and apologize to Yvette.However, when she thought about what Xavier had done to her, she had no choice but to agree to it. "Alright. I'll go to her now."She didn't even remember how she got out of Dewberry Manor.Right after she left, Jackie asked in confusion, "Mr. Jeremiah, why are you forcing her to apologize to Yvette? You've never gotten along with Mr. Xavier. Are you going to protect his wife now?"Right after she said that, she suddenly felt uneasy. Jeremiah, who had always been gentle, was actually looking at her coldly. "You have no idea, Jackie."She didn't know about Jeremiah's past with Yvette at all, and that was the first time she didn't dare to ask about it. "
When Xavier arrived home, he couldn't find Yvette anywhere.He was slightly angry. After all, when he left the house, he always left a note for her. But when she went out, she never told him about it.The caretaker that Yvette had hired for Viola was cooking in the kitchen.When she saw the frustrated Xavier calling for Yvette from time to time, she couldn't help but say, "Ms. Snyder probably isn't coming home in the next few days. She told me to take care of Ms. Xenos."When Xavier heard the stranger's voice, he asked, "Who are you?""I'm Ellie Hemington, I'm the caretaker Ms. Snyder hired to take care of Ms. Xenos." Ellie came out and realized that Xavier was blind.She immediately said, "Mister, I'm going to have to charge more for taking care of two people. When Ms. Snyder hired me, she only said I needed to take care of Ms. Xenos. She never mentioned anything about taking care of a blind person."When he heard her calling him blind, his face darkened a lot. "I don't need an
Xavier stood at the doorway, listening to the conversation outside. Even though his expression remained unchanged, his ears were bright red."Go on; answer them," he said to the bodyguards.Each bodyguard quickly shook their heads.Soon, the older women started trying to introduce them to potential girlfriends.Viola lived in the remote area of Sangine County. The locals had heard that Yvette was Viola's employer's daughter, but she had passed away due to some incident. Later, it had turned out to be a misunderstanding.The reason they hadn't sought out Viola was because Xavier had come with many people and taken several neighbors away for questioning five years ago. For a while, everyone thought Viola and her family had offended someone important. Because of that, they had been too afraid to contact Viola when the latter had come back.Back then, they hadn't dared to lift their heads and look at Xavier when he had questioned them about Yvette's and Viola's whereabouts. That wa
Xavier somewhat recalled the memories from five years ago. He remembered their wedding and how he had left Yvette alone. He remembered James' passing and how Yvette's face had been streaked with tears. All that time, he had remained indifferent, only caring about the Snyder family's deception.He tried to recall more, but the pain in his head intensified. Eventually, he stopped trying and turned to Viola."Viola, I can't agree to your request."As Viola froze, she heard Xavier say, "I can't watch the person I love marry another man. I promise to change, to treat Yvvy well, and never to hurt her again."However, Viola didn't believe a word he said. "No matter what you say, you've only changed now because you're blind. If you were fine, you wouldn't treat Yvvy well."Xavier had no rebuttal. He knew that the only way to make Viola believe him was by showing her that he really had changed.Too angry to continue speaking with Xavier, Viola returned to her room. Xavier hadn't eaten
