Xavier finally understood what was going on. "I told the staff beforehand to leave everything exactly as it was. Not a single item, not even the position of a pen, was to be altered. Everything else depends on my memory."Yvette looked around after hearing that. Indeed, everything was in perfect order, without any changes. Even so, she couldn't help but admire him. Even if everyone else went blind, Xavier was the kind of person who could navigate. Some people were just born to lead."You're amazing," she said sincerely.It had been a long time since Xavier had been praised by Yvette. Her sudden compliment caught him off guard, and a smile crept onto his face. He tightened his grip on her hand."Silly." The air crackled with unspoken attraction.Yvette's face inexplicably flushed. "Let go. I'm going to... mop the floor.""Okay." Xavier obediently released her hand.Yvette's palm grew warm and clammy under his grasp. Without giving it a second thought, she grabbed a mop and quic
Back inside the house, Xavier looked furious. No man wouldn't mind his wife having an affair. However, it had already happened. Unless he could turn back time, there was nothing he could do about it.At that moment, he just wanted to keep Yvette by his side. As for Zachary and Noah, he could force himself to accept them. However, he wanted Claude to stay abroad.Yvette didn't know what was on Xavier's mind and thought he'd only accepted Noah and Zachary because of his amnesia.Noah hadn't been sleeping at all, so when he'd heard the commotion downstairs, he'd secretly taken a look. He'd thought Shannon had been too fierce. However, he'd been ecstatic when Xavier had been reprimanded."Mom." He pretended to rub his eyes like he'd just woken up.When Yvette heard him, she looked up at him. "Why are you awake?""I woke up when I heard someone talking." He walked downstairs as he spoke."I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep," said Yvette."It's fine." After coming downstairs, he sat
"Where are we going now?" Xavier couldn't help asking when he felt the car moving."Well, the festival is here. Naturally, we need to have some fun." In the past, Tristan and the others would always spend their time at Empire Club."Tell your driver to turn back." Xavier thought there really was something important. He still had to accompany Yvette at home.When Tristan heard that, he had no choice but to tell Matt to turn the car around. "Are you going to spend time with Yvette again?"He'd stopped calling Yvette "Deaf Yvvy" and started calling her by her name. Xavier wasn't surprised by that and answered with his own question. "What do you think?"After saying that, he added, "You should accompany your woman as well."Kiki was Yvette's best friend. If Tristan could get along well with her, Xavier's relationship with Yvette would definitely improve.Upon hearing Kiki's name, Tristan became unwilling to go home. "Well, I'm going back with you to visit Yvette."Xavier was speech
Tristan's hand froze in midair for a while before he pulled it back. "I…" Yvette didn't wait for him to finish his words and returned inside the house. He still wanted to apologize to her, but Xavier pulled him back. "What are you doing, Xav?"Xavier said calmly, "You can apologize next time."It was a festive day, and he didn't want Tristan to ruin it for him. When Tristan heard that, he figured he should also take it slow. "Sure."He'd wanted to see Noah at first, but now it seemed better for him to leave for now. "Well, I'm heading back now. I'll visit again next time.""Yeah."Then, Tristan left in his car.After Yvette entered the house, she got back on the couch and continued reading. When she saw Xavier entering the house after a short while, she couldn't help asking, "When you said you had to step out, was it because of Tristan?"That was why Xavier had been afraid that Tristan would ruin the day for him. After hearing Yvette ask him about it, Xavier immediately denied
Jeremiah hadn't looked away from Yvette since she'd arrived. He got up and greeted, "Xav. Yvette."She politely smiled at him. When Zoey saw that, she was furious. She suppressed the anger in her and greeted them as well, "Yvette. Xavier."Xavier ignored her. After Yvette sat down, he sat next to her. Since there were other people around, Yvette didn't want to humiliate Zoey. So, she answered the latter with a hum.When Zoey got back in her seat, she purposely grabbed Jeremiah's arm. "Jerry, Xavier and Yvette's son sure is adorable."Jeremiah froze, and he looked disgusted. He quietly removed her hand from his arm and looked at Noah. As he'd expected, Noah looked exactly like Xavier.Shannon also kept her eyes on Noah when they entered the room. Although Yvette had said that Noah wasn't Xavier's son, she still didn't believe it.If the children truly belonged to Claude, why would one stay with Yvette while the other stayed with Kiki? Also, Zachary's last name was Snyder, and it d
Marlene pretended to stop Malcolm when she saw what was happening. "Malcolm, let him have it."However, he didn't know how to read the room or put on an act. All he knew was no one could have what he wanted. He jumped out of his seat and approached Noah to drag him away."Get off the seat now!"Noah looked exactly the same as Zachary. After being punched by Zachary in the past, Malcolm didn't dare to get physical with Noah at all. "Get down now, feral boy!"Yvette couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard Malcolm calling Noah a "feral boy" repeatedly. Meanwhile, Marlene was secretly pleased about the situation and didn't stop Malcolm at all.When Clifford saw what was happening, he felt helpless. Then, he said to the maid, "Bring me another chair and place it next to me.""No. I want this chair!" Malcolm was pampered badly, and he only wanted to sit in Noah's seat.Yvette couldn't take it anymore, and she said, "Noah, come and sit next to me."Noah obediently got out of
Everyone at the table was stunned because it was the first time someone had been bold enough to scold Malcolm like that. Feeling upset, Marlene protected Malcolm. However, Noah was younger than him, so it was hard for her to be harsh.Although Malcolm was an arrogant child, he wasn't dumb at all. He knew Noah was insulting him immediately. "How dare you insult me, you feral boy?"Noah still wanted to add fuel to the fire and said, "Don't be angry. I was just telling the truth. Didn't your teacher teach you how to be polite at school?"Yvette was speechless, thinking about how she'd told him to keep quiet at the dining table before they'd left the house earlier. But it wouldn't be nice for an adult to interfere when the kids were arguing. So, she could only signal Noah to stop talking with her eyes.He purposely avoided her gaze and raised his eyebrows at Malcolm, seemingly provoking the latter.Malcolm still didn't dare to hit Noah because the latter looked like Zachary. So, h
Zoey froze. She wanted Marlene and the others to have a great impression of her. However, she'd unexpectedly offended Shannon instead. She'd never expected Shannon to protect Noah.Zayden had a point. Noah had just returned to the Lane family, and they weren't sure if he was really a descendant of their family yet. Besides, Noah had said that his father was Claude in front of everyone earlier.Marlen shot Zoey a friendly gaze and dragged Zayden and Malcolm away. "Let's go and eat at home."Everyone had a lot on their minds during the dinner, and it ended on a strange note. When they were eating, Clifford even told the maid to prepare another plate of the dish Noah wanted for him.Yvette thought it was weird because Noah hated that dish, which was an animal's innards. After they returned to Xavier's house, she asked Noah while putting him to bed, "Noah, tell me the truth. Did you target Malcolm on purpose today?"A mother would always know her son best, and she had a feeling that N
