Noah thought about a lot of things that night.After Yvette fell asleep, he hugged her arm and murmured, "Mom, I want you to be happy. I'll accept him if he loves you. But if he's still deceiving you, I'll kill him."Yvette had no idea about Noah's thoughts. If she had known, she would have talked to him and tried to correct his thoughts.Noah's bones ached again, so he quietly got up, kissed Yvette's forehead, and then went to sleep.…With the New Year approaching, Yvette finished handling work at home and prepared to choose clothes and shoes for her two children and Viola.Since Noah and Viola were not in good health and couldn't shop for long periods, Yvette measured their sizes and planned to buy clothes for them later.Xavier stayed home from work today. Seeing Yvette busy, he offered, "Shall I go with you?""It's inconvenient because you can't see. I've already called Ray to drive and help me carry things," Yvette replied.Since Ray was Yvette's personal bodyguard, he u
Arriving at Sangine County Mall, Yvette got out of the car to shop, with Ray following her. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. "Someone's following us."Yvette, hearing this, stopped as well. "Is it Xavier's bodyguards?"They hadn't gone far from home. Also, Yvette didn't like having a bunch of people trailing her. Typically, the bodyguards wouldn't come."No, they are unfamiliar faces. Let's go shopping first.""Alright."Yvette always trusted Ray. Claude had once said that even 20 ordinary people wouldn't be a match for Ray. Ray had fought his way out of a pile of dead bodies.Inside the mall, Yvette picked out clothes for her family. Clothes for the two children and the elderly were easy to choose. However, she hesitated when it came to Xavier.Xavier used to wear expensive, custom-made clothes, all in black and white, which made him look particularly dull and unenergetic. Thinking about this, Yvette chose some inexpensive, brightly colored clothes for Xavier."Ray, why don
After receiving the information, Ray called the police to have the men taken away. He then got into the car and informed Yvette, "It seems someone hired them. I'll look into it when we get back.""Alright," Yvette replied. She was curious to find out who was behind the threat.Meanwhile, Zoey was sitting in a car not far from the mall, hoping to hear news of Yvette's distress. However, she received a call from Mila."Ms. Yandell, Yvette's bodyguard is highly skilled. He defeated all our people and sent them to the police station," Mila reported."One bodyguard? And he took down several of our people?" Zoey couldn't believe it."Yes, Ms. Yandell."Zoey, enraged, grabbed her phone hard. "She's getting off too easily. You guys are stupid as hell. What kind of useless people did you hire?"Mila didn't dare to respond.Zoey asked again, "How is the plan to mess up her studio coming along?""W-We haven't found her studio yet." Mila lowered her head, avoiding Zoey's gaze.Zoey threw
Yvette was already inclined to do as Viola said, and with Viola being ill, she certainly wouldn't go against her wishes. She got up and led Xavier to his room to help him try on the clothes. Most of the clothes Yvette had bought for Xavier were casual and easy to wear."Go on. Take off your clothes," Yvette instructed as she began unpacking the new clothes and organizing them neatly.When she turned around to hand the clothes to Xavier, she was completely stunned, and her pupils dilated in shock."W-Why did you take off everything?" she stammered.The man in front of her was entirely unclothed, revealing a perfectly proportioned body, firm muscles, a chiseled six-pack, and more. Yvette quickly averted her gaze, her face flushing as if it were on fire.Though she had given birth to Zachary and Noah and was pregnant with Xavier's child, they hadn't had many intimate encounters. Even though she acted mature and composed, their actual intimate moments were always initiated by him.
Xavier couldn't help but hold Yvette even tighter. She struggled to break free. Her body grew increasingly warm, and she became anxious. "Xavier, let go!"Xavier's throat tightened. He was reluctant to release her. "Let's sleep together tonight."His hot breath fell against her ear, making Yvette's ears turn red. Xavier effortlessly lifted her and placed her on the bed."Don't—" Yvette began. However, she was cut off by Noah's urgent voice calling from the doorway. "Mom! Mom!"Xavier's brows furrowed slightly. Yvette tried to get up, but Xavier was like an immovable mountain. "Xavier, move," Yvette whispered urgently.Xavier ignored her. Instead, he looked toward the door. "Yvvy is asleep. Come back tomorrow."Noah stood frozen at the door, his knocks becoming more forceful. "You evil man, give me back my mom! Mom, Mom..." He couldn't let his mother be bullied by his bastard father right under his nose.Hearing Noah's cries, Yvette couldn't tell if he was truly upset or pret
The next morning, Yvette received a call from Ray as she woke up."I found out who was behind the attack on you yesterday. It was Zoey."Zoey, Yvette's half-sister from the same mother.When Yvette heard this, she was momentarily stunned.Ray continued, "When I went to handle the situation yesterday, I found out from those people that they planned to take you away and... sully you." Ray's voice became stiff as he said the last two words.Yvette clenched her fists upon hearing this. "I understand," she replied, ending the call.Yvette couldn't comprehend why Zoey harbored such hatred toward her. The only thing she could think of was the situation with Jeremiah. Then again, she had no ties to him now.She asked Cynthia to send her Zoey's phone number since they had collaborated before.Cynthia quickly sent over the number and inquired, "Boss, are you planning to work with her again? She contacted me a few days ago, saying she wanted to buy another one of your songs. I haven't had
Zoey watched as Yvette walked in, bundled up tightly, with only her fair face visible. She had to admit that Yvette was beautiful—her features were delicate, especially her eyes, which looked as if they had been hand-drawn. Even though Yvette was dressed in many layers, her curvaceous figure was still discernible. Zoey knew she was attractive too, but standing next to Yvette, it felt like she lacked something."The stuff you sent me is useless. Don't waste your time; I'm not easily scared," Zoey declared, trying to take control of the conversation.Yvette thought, "If you're not afraid, why did you arrive before I did?" She didn't call Zoey out on it but instead pulled out a document and handed it to her.Zoey took the document, puzzled. When she opened it and saw what it was, a flash of something unrecognizable crossed her eyes."You investigated me?" Zoey asked with the paternity test results in her hands. Her first reaction hadn't been about the results themselves, but rathe
The living room fell silent for a moment. Yara hadn't expected a former nanny who had worked for her family would dare to speak to her like this. She raised her hand, ready to hit Viola.Hannah stepped forward to stop her. "Ma'am, Madam Viola is in poor health. You cannot just strike her. If you do, I will call the police."Yara's hand froze in midair, and she sneered. "'Madam'? She's just a penniless old hag who got lucky taking care of my daughter. Now that my daughter and son-in-law have money, they support her, and she thinks she's a lady of high society."Hannah was somewhat surprised. She had always thought that Viola was Yvette's mother. To her surprise, it turned out Yvette's mother was the woman before her. On closer inspection, there was some resemblance, but their attitudes and demeanors were so different. Yara was sharp-tongued and rude.Realizing Yara was her employer's biological mother, Hannah decided not to say much and just watched from the side.Viola, facing Y
