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
After Yvette tucked Noah in bed, she left the room. Xavier was already back in the living room, going through a book for the blind."Is he asleep?" he asked.She nodded. "Yeah. Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?""I was waiting for you." He closed the book and faced her.She felt uncomfortable. "We should sleep separately.""Why?"Yvette blushed and said, "I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for us to sleep together.""The bed's six feet wide. There'll be plenty of space for us." After saying that, Xavier stood up and walked to her. Then, he grabbed her arm. His hand was so warm that she could feel it through her shirt."But I'm used to sleeping alone—" Before she could finish her words, he picked her up.When her feet left the ground, she started panicking instantly. Seeing how high up she was, she couldn't help grabbing his arms. "Stop fooling around and put me down now."He didn't respond and carried her back to the bedroom. Then, he carefully placed her on the bed.Yv
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
