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
Suddenly, the grandfather clock in the house started chiming. Viola turned around and looked at the clock. She mumbled, "It's already midnight. I'm heading to bed now.""Alright."Yvette watched as Viola left. Then, she placed her hand on the bump on her belly. She felt complicated after hearing what Viola said. After all, Viola hated him a lot not too long ago. Yvette didn't understand why she would change her mind about him that quickly. She'd even said Yvette could stay with him.Yvette looked at Xavier and the boys again and shook her head. There was no way she would walk the same path again.When they cleared the branch and the excess snow, Xavier brought the children back to the house. Yvette immediately made a fire at the fireplace to warm them up. "Take a warm shower later and go to bed after that."The children nodded their heads. They'd only been giving Xavier instructions earlier, and they didn't feel cold at all.As for Xavier, his good-looking, slender arms were re
In the past, Yvette would have to accompany Xavier back to Lane Mansion for every holiday. It was especially important for them to go back during the New Year. However, she didn't want to go back this time."I'm busy, so I won't be going. If Xavier is willing to go, you can take him back." She hung up the call right after saying that.Meanwhile, Shannon furiously looked at the phone after the call ended. "She's getting out of hand. If Xavier hadn't lost his memories, he would never let her do whatever she wanted!"Mandy softly asked from the side, "So, are we still bringing Mr. Xavier home?""Yes. Even if Yvette isn't willing to come home, he still has to come home. After all, he's this family's eldest son."Shannon didn't actually want him to be there tonight because he couldn't see anything. He'd even lost his memories, and she couldn't help feeling embarrassed. However, Clifford had specifically said that he wanted to see Xavier.Clifford hadn't interfered in their businesses
The Lane family only had a family dinner for this New Year. Other than some close family members, no one else came. Despite that, the house was still full of people.Clifford sat at the head of the table, peeling some fruits for Malcolm as he looked at the latter lovingly. Malcolm looked proud as well, and he ignored everybody else at the table."Great-Grandpa, I want that," he requested while pointing at a bracelet a middle-aged man was holding.The middle-aged man, Bruce Wilson, was Clifford's nephew. Seeing how Malcolm wanted his bracelet, Bruce was upset, and he kept it. "Malcolm, this isn't a toy. If you like it, I'll get you a box of new ones tomorrow, alright?"He'd had that bracelet for eight years, and there was no way he would let a brat have it."No way! I want that, Great-Grandpa…"Hearing that, Clifford hurriedly patted Malcolm's hand. "Alright."After saying that, he shot Bruce a glance. The latter had no choice but to give the bracelet away; he'd lost to a four-ye
When Yvette heard what Mark had to say, she looked calm. "What does that have to do with me?" She had also been humiliated in every way back when she was in the mansion, and Xavier had done nothing to help her.Mark was stunned, and he softly said, "Can you help him for what he did to save you?" After hearing that, she thought about how Xavier had helped her deal with Tony when they'd been abroad.She kept quiet for a moment before saying, "Even if I go there, what can I possibly do? He can't see a thing, and I'm hearing-impaired. Are you sure I can help him at all?"Yvette was just saying it as it was. A great family like the Lanes would never respect her at all."Well…" Mark hesitated. When she noticed that, she thought he had given up. So, she got up to get the bill. Then, he stopped her again. "It's just that I won't have to worry if you're there."Mark knew Yvette was a tough woman. With her at the mansion, it wouldn't get too messy. Before Yvette could say anything, Noah cou
After Shannon answered a call, her spirits were lifted greatly. She couldn't believe Zachary had taken the initiative to look for her. After all, he had always kept his distance from her in the past.Meanwhile, Xavier wasn't there yet, and the crowd couldn't help talking about it."Is Xavier not coming?""Didn't he promise to come? Why isn't he here yet? He's never gone back on his word before.""Didn't you hear the rumors? He's blind now, so it's going to be embarrassing for him if he comes.""What? No way!"Everyone was curious if he really was blind. If it were true, things would be interesting for them.Then, Xavier finally entered the hall with Luther leading him. Everyone looked toward the entrance and saw a man in noble attire. However, his once sharp gaze looked dull at that moment. They also noticed that he needed Luther to guide him into the hall. When he arrived, he didn't greet anyone.Shannon approached him and said to Clifford, "Dad, the doctors said Xav needs t
