Yvette rejected the invitation at first, but Kiki wouldn't stop bothering her about it. In the end, she caved and agreed to tag along. That night, Kiki came to pick her up. When she saw Yvette's face was covered in gauze, she asked caringly, "How's your wound now, Yvvy?""It has gotten better now. The doctor said I could remove the gauze soon.""That's good." When Kiki thought about how Yvette had been hurt the other day, she couldn't help trembling. "Let's go.""Sure." Yvette followed Kiki into a car and asked about how Zachary was doing."He feels like he's at home now, and Mr. Shaw Senior is bringing him to the gathering as well. Don't worry. He has bodyguards watching him 24 hours a day now, so nothing will happen to him again," said Kiki.Yvette nodded and said, "Kiki, I've told you about how Xavier knows Zac and Noah are his kids now, right? I think they'll be reunited soon."Kiki thought about it too and stayed silent for a moment. "I'll talk to Mr. Shaw Senior."Archib
The cold wind blew, and Jeremiah didn't let go of Yvette's arm. He looked down at her and asked again, "Well, have you?"He'd thought about coming back to see her countless times when he'd been abroad. He couldn't believe she'd actually fallen in love with someone else. Not only that, but the person she loved was his own twin brother!Yvette didn't know what was wrong with her as well, and she denied it, "No."She'd only agreed to marry Xavier back then because she'd mistaken him for Jeremiah. Then, she'd gotten back together with him because of the two kids.Even though she had denied it, Jeremiah still hadn't relaxed. "Then, what about me?"His face looked unnaturally red in the night.Yvette shook her head. "It's all in the past now, so please let it go. I'm sorry.""I don't want you to apologize to me." Jeremiah lifted his other hand and was about to touch Yvette's face when they heard someone clapping coldly."What are you doing, Mr. Lane?" Tristan asked sarcastically whil
When Yvette learned what had happened, she was shocked. Kiki told her how Leonard had told her not to get married to Tristan. Of course, she hadn't been planning on listening to Leonard. While they had been arguing, Leonard had suddenly kissed her forcefully.Tristan had seen it happen, and he'd thrown a punch at Leonard without any hesitation. Leonard had never been about to admit defeat, so they'd started fighting."What does Leonard want?" Yvette frowned. "Isn't he married? Why is he telling you not to get married and doing something like that? He's such a bastard!"Kiki nodded. "Yeah. I really wanted to kill him back there." She leaned back against the seat and sighed."I really have no idea why I liked him before." She smiled self-mockingly. "I guess it was because of his looks. I'd never seen a man as gorgeous as him before…"When it came to looks, Yvette thought Tristan looked way better than Leonard. However, Kiki didn't like Tristan at all. The two just couldn't get alo
Xavier only got off work after he was done arranging everything. When he arrived at Dewberry Manor, he just stayed in the car."We're here, Mr. Lane." Mark couldn't help reminding him. Then, he finally got out of the vehicle.Yvette had fallen asleep on the couch while scrolling through her phone because she'd been too tired. When Xavier returned, Wendy told him Yvette was on the couch. So, he approached her and reached out to grab her arm."Jeremiah…" Since Jeremiah had grabbed her the same way at the gathering, she instinctively called out his name.Xavier released her arm immediately.Yvette woke up in shock because of what she had said. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xavier standing in front of her with a cold face. "You're back."When Xavier heard that, he didn't answer her. Instead, he headed upstairs right away. Yvette was stunned when she realized she'd been ignored.That night, Xavier slept in his own room, and Yvette slept alone, too.When Noah got up to use the to
It was a surprisingly warm day, and the sun shone into the bedroom through the window. When Yvette woke up, most of the snow outside had melted.She looked at the time, and it was already 9:00 am. She needed to remove the gauze at the hospital that day. After she was done taking care of Noah, he grabbed her hand when she was about to leave. "Mom, Mr. Xavier really is my dad, isn't he?"She knew she had to face it eventually, so she nodded. "Yeah.""Mom, I have a dad now too! I'm not a feral boy anymore, right?" His eyes lit up more than usual.When she heard him calling himself a feral boy, she felt extremely bad. She owed him too much for the past few years. "Of course! My dear Noah and Zac have a dad and a mom."Noah added, "Mom, when you get back from the hospital today, can we visit Zac at his school with Dad? I want to give Zac a surprise."When she heard that, she remembered how cold Xavier had been recently. She wasn't sure if he would agree to it. "If you want to see Zac,
Before Xavier went to work that morning, Noah grabbed his hand and said Zachary wanted to meet him. Then, Noah asked him if they could go see Zachary together at the kindergarten that afternoon. Xavier figured it was time for him to meet Zachary, so he agreed to it.That afternoon, he told the driver to drive him home. When he reached home, Yvette and Noah were done packing and waiting for him.Noah immediately called him, saying, "Dad.""Yeah," Xavier answered him simply.Then, Yvette approached him, "Let's go." She had already called Kiki and told the latter the Shaws didn't have to pick Zachary up that day.They got into the car together, but it was quieter than usual inside. Noah sat between Yvette and Xavier and figured it couldn't keep on going like this."Mom, why aren't you holding Dad's hand? I noticed that everyone's parents were always holding hands," he said after seeing some parents walking with their children outside the car.Yvette noticed them too and looked at
Malcolm felt like his mind was in a mess. "So, are you my Uncle Xav's son as well?"When Zachary heard that, he didn't say a word. Malcolm treated it as a tacit agreement. "How could you lie to me?""When did I do that?" Zachary asked."Didn't you say Tristan is your father?" Malcolm's face turned red in anger."You were the one who said that, not me." Zachary picked up his bag and coldly looked at Malcolm. "Is there anything else?"The latter was shocked by Zachary's gaze, and he took a step back. "No… That's all."Then, Zachary left the classroom with his bag.Malcolm stood in the classroom, and he was infuriated. "Damn it. How could you lie to me? I can't believe I thought you were my friend!" A cold look appeared in his gaze. "No one can snatch my rightful place in the Lane family."…After Zachary walked out of the school, he saw Yvette and Xavier standing among the crowd. Then, he hurriedly approached them."Zac!" Yvette waved at him.When he reached them, he said wi
Noah thought it was a no-brainer. After all, he would definitely choose to go to a kindergarten like Zachary. "I want to attend kindergarten." Before Yvette could say anything, Noah grabbed Xavier's leg and flattered him, saying, "You're the best, Dad. Can you let me attend the same school as Zac?"As an elder brother, Zachary was disgusted when he saw how Noah was acting coy. He didn't want to be in the same school as Noah at all. "I don't want that."Noah looked exactly like Zachary, but he was great at acting cute and pitiful. No matter where they were, he would be more popular. Whenever Noah started acting cute, no one would pay attention to Zachary anymore.Noah didn't think Zachary would reject his idea, and he looked at the latter pitifully. "Why, Zac? Don't you love me anymore?"Zachary frowned, and he wanted to tear up the book in his hand and stuff it in Noah's mouth badly. "If you keep acting coy, and I'll throw you off the car!" he said coldly. Whether it was his emot
