Yvette revealed awkwardly. "He's Zac and Noah's dad."Aaron was even more shocked. He didn't say anything more as he continued sipping his iced latte. As a celebrity, he had to maintain his figure. However, since Yvette had personally handed it to him, he drank it without a second thought.They casually ate some food before heading to the recording studio. Yvette stayed outside, guiding Aaron as he recorded a new song, as if she were a professional producer.Time flew by once they got into their work.By the time they finished, it was already dark. To avoid causing Aaron any trouble and risking another run-in with paparazzi, Yvette had her driver pick her up.Aaron watched her leave.Then, Joel came over. "The recording went that well today?"It took Aaron a moment to snap out of his thoughts. "Of course," he replied. "Yvette was helping me the whole time."Joel whistled in amazement. "What a shame. If she hadn't decided to keep a low profile, she'd definitely be more famou
"Dad, I secretly called you. Please don't tell anyone," Noah whispered. He was carefully listening to Xavier end to see if he could catch the sound of a woman's voice. Luckily, there was none.Xavier realized that it wasn't Yvette who had prompted Noah to call. For some reason, he was somewhat disappointed. In the past, Yvette wouldn't be able to go three days without contacting him.Today, however, was the third day."What do you want?" Xavier's cold tone was as if he were speaking to a subordinate, devoid of any warmth."I just miss you. Can I come see you tomorrow?" Noah wanted to personally check where his bastard father was staying to make sure no vixen had tried to fill the void."No." Xavier's response was as icy as ever.Noah choked, and he began whining, "Dad, don't you love your baby boy—"But before he could finish, the call ended abruptly with a beeping tone.Noah was stunned. This version of Xavier was so heartless!The more Xavier acted like this, the more Noah
Noah turned at the sound and found himself face-to-face with an innocent yet unfamiliar face of a woman.The woman was dressed in sportswear. She had a ponytail and gentle features.Noah looked back at the entrance. Seeing that the house number was correct, he wondered if the woman was that bastard Xavier's "vixen"."Miss, are you the owner of this house?" he asked cautiously. The woman, Jeana Churchill, shook her head. "No, this is my cousin's house. I came to meet him." After saying this, she looked closely at Noah. "You must be Xav's son.""So she's a distant relative," Noah thought, feeling relieved. He answered, "You guessed right.""Wow, what a coincidence! I thought I got the wrong place. My name is Jeana Churchill; you can call me Jeana."Jeana Churchill? That name sounded somewhat familiar.Noah felt a bit uncomfortable when he caught a whiff of Jeana's perfume. "Jeana, could you please put me down?"But Jeana refused to let him go. "Let me hold you a bit longer."N
Jeana felt a bit embarrassed. It was clear that Xavier didn't remember her.She explained, "Xav, it's me, Jeana! We used to play together all the time when we were kids. Aunt Shannon even invited me over to see you the year you got married."Noah stood at the side. Listening to the exchange, he could tell something was definitely off. Unfortunately, he just couldn't remember who Jeana was.If only Zachary were here.Thinking of this, he suddenly covered the front of his pants. "Uh-oh, Dad, I need to pee."For some reason, Xavier frowned upon hearing that Noah needed to go to the bathroom."Go by yourself," he instructed."Okay!"Noah immediately ran toward the restroom. Once in the bathroom, he turned the water on full blast and called Zachary.It was still nighttime on Zachary's side. He was sound asleep before he got woken up by Noah."Noah! Do you know what time it is here?" Zachary complained. Zachary was generally good-natured. However, he could be a bit grumpy when woke
Noah imagined a dramatic battle for inheritance between the members of a wealthy family.Snapping back to reality, he ran over to Jeana. "Jeana, you need to get up. Dad is really rich. He can buy you as many fake butts as you want."Jeana's expression stiffened at his words. She explained, "Noah, when I said 'work my butt off,' I didn't mean to really work my butt off of me."Noah didn't seem to fully understand those words. "If that's not what you meant, then what did you mean?"Jeana was at a loss, unsure how to explain such a metaphor to a child. However, seeing that Xavier didn't seem inclined to keep her around, she realized that the child in front of her might be the key to her staying."It's just a figure of speech, Noah. Would you like me to stay? If I stay, I can make you delicious food every day, take you to school, and even play games with you on the weekends."Jeana was probably the only one who could pull off something like tempting Xavier's son in front of Xavier.
The bathroom was a mess, covered in yellow and white substances.Jeana was so disgusted she almost threw up.Determined to stay by Xavier's side and marry him, she fought back the nausea. She turned on the shower, rinsing the mess off the walls and floor, and then moved on to washing Noah's pants.Noah stood at the doorway, watching with amusement as Jeana's face twisted in disgust even though she didn't dare complain aloud. He found it deeply satisfying."Jeana, you should come out if it's too yucky. Dad will wash it for me!"Xavier overheard this from where he sat and frowned.The kid was old enough to clean himself, and he still expected others to clean up for him! What a joke! How did Yvette even raise him?"Noah, come here!" Xavier instructed.Hearing his father's voice, Noah clutched the long towel wrapped around him and jogged over with his short legs. "Dad, did you miss me?"He was about to get closer when Xavier commanded, "Stay back!"Like Zachary, Xavier had a seri
Jeana had spent quite some time cleaning up Noah's mess at Azure Villa.After finally finishing, she sprayed herself with a lot of perfume. Despite cleaning everything up, she couldn't shake off the gross feeling that made her skin crawl.Thinking about becoming the stepmother of such a troublesome child, she resolved that once she married into the family, she would reform Noah and make sure he knew who was in charge!But for now, her priority was staying at Xavier's house."Xav, I've cleaned everything. You haven't eaten yet, right? I can cook something."Jeana had spent all that time cleaning the bathroom and hadn't had a chance to show Xavier her skills. She had specifically learned how to cook well in order to get closer to him.Before Xavier could respond, Noah jumped in. "Jeana, you just finished cleaning the poop, and now you're going to cook for us?""What?" Jeana's face froze for a second, then she quickly explained, "I cleaned myself up.""But you still smell, you kno
On the other side, Yvette was anxiously rushing over, worried that Xavier was trying to take Noah away from her. Noah's mood wasn't much better than Yvette's. As he stood next to Xavier, he felt equally stressed, thinking, "Stinky Dad is so promiscuous. He's ignoring the fact that his son is here!"He asked, "Dad, Jeana went to shower so early. Are you two going to sleep together later?" Xavier's face immediately darkened. He didn't respond at first and instead asked, "Who taught you to say things like that?"Why was Noah already thinking something like that at such a young age?Noah didn't fully understand what "sleeping together" meant. However, he had seen on TV that when the screen went dark, it usually implied something was happening."That doesn't need teaching, does it? Zac said that we should know everything already at our age."Xavier's expression grew even more solemn. What exactly had Yvette been teaching the children? He had heard from Mark that Zachary was trave
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
Ray was skilled at following people. Yvette was in the car ahead and was completely unaware she was being tailed.It was only when Yvette arrived at the manor that Ray realized she was there to see Xavier.Noah was feeling uneasy and anxious "Does Mom have another family outside of ours?"He had no idea that Yvette had such a private manor like this.Ray sat at the side, saying, "I think you misunderstood."He wasn't sure if he should share so much with a child, so he just said, "Let's go back.""No way. I'm not going back." Noah gripped Ray's arm tightly. "Mr. Septer, do you think Mom has another child outside?"Ray sighed a bit helplessly: "How could that be? Don't overthink it."Noah was feeling a bit flustered. "Then does Mom have a boyfriend?"He was really worried about Yvette's safety right now. Noah secretly sent his current address to Zachary.Once Yvette entered the manor, Noah and Ray quickly lost sight of her movements."Noah, let's head back now. It's getting la
Shannon was taken aback to hear that. After all, it was Xavier who took the initiative to divorce Yvette, abandoning not only their children but also the ones Yvette was carrying.But now that something had happened to Xavier, Yvette was surprisingly still willing to take care of him.Shannon thought about Xavier, who now had violent tendencies. "Yvvy, Xav isn't just intellectually challenged now. He also has violent tendencies. The maids and butler who look after him often get hurt. If you go over there and he happens to lose control, what would you do?"Her biggest concern was the two babies Yvette was carrying."Mom, I've been married to Xavier for many years, so I'm not afraid of these things. If he wakes up and has another episode, I'll just have someone else take care of him. Do you think that's okay?" Yvette asked earnestly.Shannon simply couldn't find another reason to say no to her.However, she also said, "You might not be aware of this, but Mr. Lane Senior has arrange
