But just as Yara was about to speak, Zoey interrupted her. "Don't do something like this again. I know you're doing it for my sake, but I don't like it when others speak ill about you."Yara realized that Zoey still cared about her. So, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. Zoey then wrapped her arm around Yara's. "Mom, I did some research online and found out that you have another daughter, Yvette."Yara froze. Zoey continued, "She's married to Xavier Lane, isn't she?" Xavier was the one Zoey cared about. In Tirion, not many men could compare to him."I want to meet him. Can you help me?"Yara immediately saw through Zoey's intentions. Even she felt that only Zoey was worthy of Xavier."It's been a long time since I've seen him. If you want to meet him, I'll definitely help you."Yara believed that if Xavier had feelings for Yvette, he would surely be attracted to Zoey, who resembled Yvette but was even more outstanding. When that happened, she would still be the Lane
Xavier had headed out at noon to handle urgent work. Yvette looked at the lofty Shannon sitting on the couch. She couldn't help but sneer upon hearing her tone. "You're the one who left Xavier here. What right do you have to criticize how I take care of him? I haven't let him starve or freeze. I've fulfilled my marital duties."Taken aback by the retort, Shannon fell silent for a moment. After a while, she stood up and looked around. "Where's Xav? I'm here to take him home."Now that Jeremiah had basically taken control of the company and all the shares and assets had been transferred, she wasn't worried about anyone at the company taking away the legacy that Xavier had built. It was time to take Xavier back."I'm not going back." A voice came from the doorway. Xavier, wearing a black coat, stood at the entrance. The look in his black-obsidian eyes remained unchanged.Shannon was shocked that her once-outstanding son had now become blind. As she saw him walking in step by ste
Shannon clenched her fists, refusing to admit to her own mistakes. She said to Yvette in a low voice, "If you'd given birth to Xav's child during your long marriage, I wouldn't have anxiously looked for someone else to replace him."It was ridiculous for the owner of a family business not to have a child."You're in no position to lecture me. No parent wouldn't feel bad for their children." After saying that, she left.Yvette stood still and felt slightly sad for some reason. Yara had never cared for her. That was why she'd interfered earlier.Just as she was in a daze, someone grabbed her hand from behind."Thank you, Yvvy." Xavier was happier than ever.When she felt his hand, she returned to her senses and hurriedly pulled her hand back. "You don't have to thank me. I was just acting on impulse when I thought you were pitiful. That's all."Then, she immediately went to Viola's room. She wondered if the commotion downstairs had scared the latter.Fortunately, Zachary had gone
Yvette was stunned. Xavier had so many people in his family that she couldn't remember them all. There was no way he was an orphan.However, she went with what Noah said to lie to him. "Yeah, that's right. That's why he's pitiful, and I have no choice but to keep him for now. Also, he's a strange man who says weird things all the time. So, don't believe what he says, alright?"Noah was good at pretending, and he nodded with a trusting gaze. "Alright. Don't worry, Mom. I'll never believe what he says."When she looked at his innocent gaze, she felt bad, thinking she shouldn't lie to him like that. However, she had no other choice.From what she knew, Noah was a normal child like herself. Meanwhile, Zachary was like Xavier when it came to memory and intelligence. Sometimes, he would make an adult feel ashamed.She thought Zachary was the only one who knew Xavier was his father and that Noah didn't know it yet. So, she decided to tell him the truth when he was older.Yvette and Noah
When they were done washing their hands, Noah pretended to be nice as he took Xavier back to the dining table. The latter looked upset."Mister, now that you can't see a thing, do you fall a lot?" Noah continued asking."No.""But aren't you blind?" He kept up the innocent act.Xavier was speechless. However, he had no choice but to answer patiently, "I've memorized the paths. That's why I won't fall that easily.""I see.""That's enough. Let's dig in now and talk later," said Yvette.That was what Noah was like—he always had a lot to say.When they were at the table, Noah spotted the plate of carrots right away. He would eat them, but he knew Zachary hated them. Since he was more like Yvette, he figured Zachary was like Xavier.So, he picked up some carrots and placed them on Xavier's plate. "Mister, you should have more carrots. My teacher told me that they are good for our eyes."Zachary was surprised to see Noah messing with Xavier whenever the opportunity arose. So, he g
Zachary and Viola came over as well. The latter basically pounced on Noah. "Where did he hit you, my dear Noah?" She was so infuriated that she was breathing heavily.Zachary immediately shot Noah a glance, and the latter hurriedly said, "I was just messing with you guys.""Messing with us?" Viola looked at Xavier.Xavier went with the flow. "He made a bet that you would believe him if he said I'd hit him."Noah and Zachary were speechless when they heard that. As they had expected, Xavier was great at lying.At that moment, Noah regretted what he had done a lot. Meanwhile, Viola could finally relax. "Oh, you silly boy. How could you bet on something like that? We have to be honest and never lie to anyone. Understood?""I understand. Sorry, Grandma." Noah immediately apologized.Yvette was slightly angry as well. "Noah, don't make jokes like that in the future anymore, okay? We were all worried about you."Noah had never been lectured this much before. After all, he was the one
Yvette started blushing immediately, and she didn't dare to move anymore. She could only look around the room.She didn't know when the old storage room had started to look different. It seemed as if Xavier had redecorated the room, and it looked gloomy. But it also felt more spacious now.Xavier's room looked the same as his previous room. Everything was kept neatly organized. Even a single pen was kept in a container on the right-most side.She couldn't help looking at his hands again. As expected, there were scars on them. She didn't know how he'd gotten them. She couldn't resist asking, "How did you cut yourself and got all these scars?" Xavier hadn't held her like this for a long time. When he smelled her body, his breathing became heavy. "I don't remember it anymore."Only a fool would tell her the truth. If he had told her, she would realize that he had regained most of his memories. Then, she would try to chase him out again.When Yvette heard that, she sighed. "What a s
Yvette tightened the blanket around her body and hurriedly rejected Xavier. "No, let's not."She got out of his embrace and quickly put her clothes back on. Then, she snuck out of the room. She didn't notice there were two pair of little eyes looking at her in the dark.Noah softly asked, "Why did he lie to us? Mom was in his room after all."Since Zachary was mature, he thought of one possibility. "Damn it! We've tried to prevent it for so long, but it still happened in the end!""What do you mean?" Noah didn't understand what he was saying at all.Zachary didn't actually know a lot. "Just what happens in the TV shows that Grandma loves to watch. What else can a man and a woman do when they're alone? They were kissing!"Noah had been in the hospital most of the time, while Zachary had been staying with Viola. When they were at home, she would always watch romantic TV shows.Viola would get so touched all the time that she would keep crying. Although Zachary didn't like watch th
