Noah was completely stunned. Surely there was no need for the parents to take it out on the children after arguing!Had his bastard father turned into a jerk again so quickly?Xavier held Noah up. "My son?" He found the whole situation absurd. It was as though he had fallen asleep and woken up to an entirely different life."Yes, sir. Please be gentle when you put Mr. Noah down. He has poor health; he can't be handled roughly," Mark advised. He knew Xavier's memory loss was temporary, and once he regained his memory, he'd regret it if Noah ended up hurt.Hearing this, Xavier set Noah down. "Whose son is he—mine and who else's?"Mark was at a loss for words. Noah seemed to realize that his bastard father had lost his memory again. He could only roll his eyes. Before Mark could respond, Noah asked Xavier, "Stinky Dad, do you really not remember whose precious baby I am? Why don't you take a guess?" He wanted to see which woman his bastard father thought could possibly be the mot
Zachary had always trusted Noah's sixth sense.The two brothers shared secrets that even Yvette didn't know about. Zachary was a top-level hacker, while Noah had an extraordinary ability—his sixth sense was incredibly sharp. For instance, if they were walking down the street and someone was about to drop something from a building, Noah would sense it beforehand.What made Noah even more unique was his ability to sense luck. Zachary vividly remembered how Yvette had taken them to a lottery place when they had been two or three years old. Noah had held onto Yvette's hand and refused to leave. When she'd asked him what he wanted, Noah had gone inside and randomly picked up a few papers.One of the papers ended up making the winner of tens of thousands of dollars.Of course, this ability wasn't foolproof; it didn't work 100% of the time. Still, it was remarkable enough that Zachary made sure Noah didn't use his powers openly, as it could be dangerous if adults ever found out.
Xavier's expression instantly darkened. "You brat, you're asking for it.""Dad, you scolded me..." Noah immediately began to fake cry.Xavier's head throbbed even more as he listened to the crying. "Someone, get in here!" he roared.Wendy quickly entered the study. "Mr. Lane, what's wrong?""Take this brat and throw him out."Wendy was stunned. However, she hurried forward in case Xavier ended up doing something to Noah. She quickly scooped Noah up in her arms. Noah's eyes were filled with tears. "Dad, what's wrong? Don't you want me anymore?"Xavier ignored him and turned to Wendy. "Do I need to repeat myself? Get him out of here."Holding Noah, Wendy nodded quickly. "Yes, sir. We'll leave right away." She thought to herself that she would call Yvette as soon as they were out. Only Yvette could deal with Xavier right now.After Wendy carried Noah out of the study, Noah stopped crying. He whispered, "Ms. Wendy, can you take me to change my pants first?" He paused, then added,
Xavier's memory was scrambled?Yvette couldn't quite understand Mark. "What do you mean by that?""When I went to see you yesterday, Mr. Lane had already forgotten who you were. But after I returned, he remembered you again. However, through my conversations with him, I realized that his memory seems to be stuck six or seven years in the past." Mark sighed. "It's still like that now—he doesn't even remember the children."Yvette thought for a moment. "I understand. Please take care of Noah for me. I'm about to board my flight. I'll be back soon.""Yes, Mrs. Lane."Yvette thought that Xavier's situation this time wasn't a bluff. After all, Xavier had genuinely lost his memories before, and since they had already agreed to start over, there was no reason for him to pretend that his memories had gone haywire again.She boarded the plane after turning off her phone.At Dewberry Manor, Xavier had finally changed into a fresh set of clothes after being examined by the doctors. D
Mark looked upstairs and said, "Mr. Lane must be awake.""I'll go check," Yvette replied.In the cold, monochromatic room, Xavier had fallen to the floor. Seeing this, Yvette rushed in and immediately went to help him up. "Are you okay?""Get out," Xavier snapped as soon as he heard her voice. He shoved her away. "Had enough fun outside, have you?"Yvette staggered backward, almost falling. Tired as she was from not having much rest, her temper flared up at his outburst."Xavier, if you're sick, get treated. What are you doing right now? Don't forget, I'm pregnant. If anything happens to the babies, do you think I'll—" She'd never spoken so harshly before, and by the time she got to the end, she couldn't continue.Xavier went silent.Carefully, Yvette approached him again to help him up. He didn't push her away this time.After she got Xavier back onto the bed, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and hissed, "You've grown bold now, huh? You're even yelling at me."Yvette was no
Xavier's thin lips pressed into a tight line, the corners of his mouth drawn taut. He stopped arguing with Yvette and tried to get up from the bed again, intending to leave.Seeing this, Yvette stood up as well. "Thought it over? Let's go to the hospital."Xavier ignored her. As he continued forward, he inevitably bumped into some of the room's furnishings."There's a wall ahead!" Just as he was about to hit the wall, Yvette called out to stop him. Xavier paused, then began feeling his way toward the door. Yvette walked over and grabbed his hand. If it had been the old Xavier, he would have shaken her off in disdain. But for some reason, he didn't mind her touch now. What was even more surprising was that it felt like the blood in his arm froze the moment she touched him.Xavier couldn't understand why he was feeling this way.Yvette pulled him forward rather roughly, opened the door, and led him out."Let's eat first. We'll go to the hospital after that." With Tristan's conn
Xavier had always had a mild case of germophobia. Not even Daphne could touch him, let alone Yvette. But now, with Yvette leaning against his chest, he found himself surprisingly unbothered."It really is different," Xavier remarked.Puzzled, Yvette asked, "What's different?"Instead of answering her, Xavier quickly released her from his embrace. He still couldn't believe that, years later, he had fallen in love with Yvette and had a son with her."How old is the boy?" he asked suddenly."Just over four years old," Yvette replied, still finding his behavior strange.Over four years old—that meant the child had been conceived around the time Yvette had filed for divorce."Did you drug me?" Xavier could only think of that as an explanation."You remember?" Yvette thought he was referring to the time she'd drugged him in order to get pregnant.Xavier's eyes narrowed with chilling coldness. "So, it's true."He had always wondered why the man he remembered to be had been determine
Tristan was already waiting at the private entrance of the hospital. He didn't know the full details—only that Xavier had been injured and needed to be admitted for tests.A sleek silver MPV pulled up at the entrance. Soon enough, Tristan saw Yvette helping Xavier out of the car, with Mark following close behind them."Xav, Yvette, what's going on?" Though Xavier found Tristan's voice familiar, the way Tristan addressed Yvette sounded particularly odd to him.Tristan had always called her "Deaf Yvvy" in the past. No one hated Yvette more than Tristan, and now he was simply calling her "Yvette"."It's a long story. Mr. Xyrax can explain it to you," Yvette responded coolly, her attitude toward Tristan still indifferent.Tristan didn't take it to heart and motioned for them to head inside before turning to Mark for an explanation.Mark filled him in on what had happened."Is Yerick out of his mind?" Tristan cursed, his eyes filled with anger. "I always thought the Herrera family
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
