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
Seeing how Xavier was sitting alone at the side, Zayden still wanted to mess with him. He remembered how arrogant Xavier had been before he'd gotten into an accident.Zayden glanced at Jeremiah once more and noticed how he showed no signs of standing up for Xavier. So, he confidently walked toward Xavier with a glass of wine in his hand."Xavier, drink this glass of wine I'm holding now and apologize to me. Then, I shall forget everything you've done in the past." He swirled the glass of wine and spat in it before handing it to Xavier. When the latter heard that, he didn't even raise his head.Seeing how Xavier was ignoring him, Zayden became infuriated. He bent down and said with a low voice, "Do you think you're still the same Xavier from before? I can squash you like an ant right now, so you better listen to me."Everyone else looked toward them, but no one dared to help Xavier. He slowly clenched his fists tighter. Just as he was about to punch Zayden, he suddenly heard a famil
Yvette didn't know that Xavier was enduring the humiliation. He knew more than anyone else that many people wanted him dead now that he was blind. He shouldn't care about his dignity at that moment."Thank you." She sat down and brought him a piece of cake as well. "You should have some too."Jeremiah watched as they had some cake together. Then, his warm gaze suddenly turned cold. When Jackie approached him, she noticed Yvette and Xavier in the corner right away as well. They were humiliated earlier, but they didn't seem to care at all. Instead, they were both in their own little world.Jackie looked at Yvette and noticed how beautiful she really was. Every move she made looked elegant, and her eyes looked clear. It finally made sense to Jackie why Xavier was unwilling to get a divorce.Meanwhile, Clifford was lecturing Shannon in the study about how she'd lied to everyone and made Jeremiah impersonate Xavier. Shannon couldn't refute it at all, so she endured it. They only lef
After saying that, Yvette prepared the bed. "I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight."Xavier frowned. "You should sleep on the bed since you're pregnant."She didn't expect him to be a gentleman at a time like this. Thinking about how it really was inconvenient for her since she was pregnant, she agreed to his suggestion. After taking a shower, she lay on the huge bed, noticing that it smelled nice.Xavier slept on the couch near her, and he didn't have a spot to place his long legs comfortably.Yvette didn't manage to fall asleep for a long time after she turned off the lights. When she closed her eyes, she would see Jeremiah's gentle face. She had a lot of questions on her mind, but she didn't know if she should ask them at all. She didn't know how long it took before she finally fell asleep. The wind blew strongly outside. After sleeping for a short while, she suddenly woke up from a nightmare. "Xavier!" she instinctively called out.A short while later, a big hand grabbed
