"Oh, you silly girl. There's no such miracle doctor." Of course, Viola thought Yvette was just messing around.She patted Yvette's hand and said, "I don't want to live that long anyway. People might start disliking me for being too old. Besides, I think I've lived long enough."Yvette's eyes teared up, and she tried her best not to let the tears fall. "Nonsense. You've yet to watch Zac and Noah grow up. You'll also have to wait for them to get married and have children. Then, you'll be a great-grandma."When Viola thought about what Yvette said, her eyes lit up. Of course, she wanted all of that as well. But she also knew that her body wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. Having lived for decades, Viola was satisfied enough to have someone who was like a daughter to her.At that moment, she was just worried about Yvette. A few days ago, Viola had realized that Xavier had recovered some of his memories and that he wasn't in any debt at all. She could also tell how much he wante
When the people around them noticed Xavier's dashing looks, they couldn't help gossiping."It sure is nice to be good-looking. He has a sugar mommy even though he's blind.""What makes you think she's the sugar mommy? I think she looks great too.""That's true. So, is he the sugar daddy instead? Why would she even want a blind man?"A few women were carefully discussing among themselves while they were shopping. Xavier could hear them clearly. When he heard them calling him blind repeatedly, he started to get furious."Yvvy, please excuse me for a second.""Do you need my help?" Yvette asked."No."He tried going out by himself. He had memorized the path, and all he was worried about was walking into someone else. A female staff member immediately approached him to help him. She asked flatteringly, "Where are you going, sir? Let me help you, alright?"The smile on her face didn't last very long as he pushed her away and growled, "Get lost."The staff member was so startled
Yvette's body tensed up when she heard Zoey's name. Xavier could clearly feel the change in her body since he was holding her. "What's wrong?"She shook her head. "Nothing."He frowned, and the great mood he'd been in earlier was ruined in an instant. "If you don't want to go, I can go myself.""You heard what Viola said. Since I'm Jeremiah's sister-in-law, I should attend his engagement."Xavier finally felt better when he heard her acknowledging Jeremiah as her brother-in-law.When they reached home, they checked the gifts again. Then, Yvette plopped on the couch to rest. After a short while, her phone rang. When she answered the call, she heard a familiar voice before she could ask who it was."Yvvy, it's Jeremiah."Yvette instantly tensed up. Although they'd met before, they'd never talked in private. After all, they both had their own lives now."Can I help you?" She had a lot of questions she'd wanted to ask him. However, she didn't manage to ask a single question at th
Yvette had finally asked Jeremiah about it. He said, "You've been going to Lane Mansion since you were young, Yvvy. Have you ever heard about the Lanes having twins?"She shook her head. If she'd known that Xavier had a twin brother, she would've definitely wondered if she'd loved the wrong person before. However, despite visiting the Lanes multiple times after coming to Tirion, she had never heard that Xavier had a twin brother. No one outside the family had talked about it either."That's because I was diagnosed with a terrible sickness when I was born. I couldn't get too cold, and I couldn't be exposed to the harsh sunlight. "I spent most of my childhood in the ICU, and no one in my family thought I would survive. So, they never told the world about my existence. I only returned to Lane Mansion when my condition improved. "However, I was still too weak, so I almost had no contact with the outside world. Of course, you were the only exception."He continued explaining, "I to
Yvette tensed up and anxiously tried to get out of Jeremiah's arms. "I'm already married."Her eyes were filled with panic, and he could tell how much she was resisting him. His heart skipped a beat, and he only pulled his hands back after a long while. There was a lonely look in his eyes. "Then, can we still be friends in the future?"Yvette calmed down and looked at him. Then, she said softly, "Yeah. Not only are we friends now, but we're family as well. I'll attend your engagement.""Alright. I'll wait for you." Jeremiah forced out a smile."If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."Then, Yvette walked away in the snow. Jeremiah stood still next to the car as he watched her leave him slowly. It felt like she was buried under the snow at that moment.…Meanwhile, Jackie thought it was weird that Jeremiah hadn't returned to the office yet. It was the first time that she'd no idea where he was, so she couldn't resist calling him."Where are you now, Mr. Jeremiah?"He'd
Yvette was stunned. Then, she heard Michael bellowing in rage on the other end of the line. "Who's the father? I'm going to kill him!"Then, there were sounds of vases and other items being smashed. Zachary heard it too, and he hurriedly said, "Let's talk later, Mom. I'm going to check on Kiki now and stop Mr. Torres from punishing her.""Alright…"After Zachary ended the call, he went out of the bedroom.Kiki was lying on the couch without a care in the world, while Michael was furiously throwing things on the ground. Although he was smashing vases, he was being careful not to hurt her."Dad, please stop asking about it. I don't know who the father is either. After all, we just met once." She yawned and said, "So, stop trying to set me up with Tristan. Don't even arrange dates for me. Those rich guys aren't going to accept a woman with a child like me."Michael hadn't expected her not to know who the father of her child was. He felt disgraced. "You! How could you do this? Ho
When Yvette heard Noah acting coy like he used to, she carefully and hurriedly explained, "I was too busy today, and I'd forgotten to call you. I'm sorry. I'll be sure to visit you tomorrow, alright?"When he heard that, he couldn't help letting out a breath of relief. Then, he sensibly said, "It's alright, Mom. Please continue with your work. I'm doing well at the hospital, so you don't have to trouble yourself and come all the way here."Normally, he would've started doing his best to make her go to him by now. However, he was sensible like Zachary at that moment.After Yvette heard what he said, she felt extremely bad for him. So, she decided she had to see him the next day.She only ended the call after talking to him for a long time. Once the call ended, she got some rest on the couch. Suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of her, blocking the light. When she opened her eyes with a slight frown, she saw Xavier standing near her."Can I help you?" she asked in confusion."
Yvette didn't want to deal with Xavier. She angrily covered herself under the blanket, leaving him to lie at the side. "If you want to sleep here, do it like that."Shortly after the lights were out, she fell asleep. When he heard her breathing steadily, he pulled her into his arms.When Yvette woke up the next day, she bumped her head on his strong chest. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up. The moment her eyes landed on Xavier's dashing face, she anxiously got up from his embrace. When she was sure that he wasn't awake, she immediately put on her robe and got out of bed.Right when Yvette opened the bedroom door, she noticed that Viola was awake as well. The latter looked at her kindly. "Come here, Yvvy. I want to talk to you."Yvette felt embarrassed because she knew that Viola definitely had misunderstood the situation. After she followed Viola back to the latter's room, she hurriedly explained, "He was the one who wouldn't leave last night. We did nothing at all.""Yvv
