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
About eight years ago, shortly after Yvette and Xavier had just gotten married, Shannon had brought Jeana to Dewberry Manor.Jeana appeared bright and friendly then.When Yvette was still unfamiliar with everything, Jeana was the one who approached her for a conversation.Yvette still vividly remembered the sickening words Jeana said back then."Yvette, you're not as pretty as Xavier's previous girlfriend."You can't imagine how much Xavier adored her. It's a shame that her family background wasn't good enough, or she would've married Xav."They even had matching profile pictures at one point..." Jeana kept babbling, sounding more like an immature child than a young adult. They were alone when Jeana threw her these comments.Back then, Yvette was deeply in love with Xavier. Hearing Jeana mention Xavier and Daphne, and constantly comparing her to Daphne, Yvette was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. But in the end, all she could do was tolerate it.As Jeana was leaving, she adde
Jeana's beautiful face instantly turned red with embarrassment. "Noah, don't say that. I washed my hands thoroughly.""My brother says that poop leaves a residue that needs to be sterilized at high temperatures if you touch it," Noah insisted.Jeana, confused, asked, "How do you sterilize at high temperatures?""I don't know. Maybe fry your hand in a pot of oil or something."Jeana was at a loss for words.Yvette always thought Jeana was as shameless as could be. This was the first time she saw Jeana blush. She couldn't help but ask Noah, "Noah, what's going on?"Noah quickly told Yvette about Jeana cleaning up his excrement in the toilet.As soon as Yvette heard this, she realized that Noah was deliberately trying to mess with Jeana. Noah had been able to clean himself since he was almost two years old and was particularly neat, so there was no way he would have gotten his pants dirty.Though she wasn't sure why Noah was bullying Jeana, Yvette decided to play along. "I see.
Yvette was eating fruit and reading with Noah when she heard Jeana suddenly included her in the conversation. She frowned slightly. When had she ever snitched on Jeana to Xavier?Even if Jeana had said those things to her in private years ago, Yvette had never mentioned a word of it to Xavier. Back then, Yvette knew that Xavier wouldn't have defended her even if she did tell him. He'd probably just think she was being troublesome."What did you say back then?" Yvette pretended to be confused and asked calmly.Jeana choked on her words. "I-I…"Of course, she didn't dare repeat the things she had said back then in front of Xavier now.Yvette yawned. "You're acting strange. You don't even remember what you said, yet you're asking me if I told Xavier? At least remind me what it was, so I can know if I said anything."Jeana fell silent instantly. She clenched her fists in frustration. "Yvette, please let me stay. I promise I'll take good care of you and Xav. And Noah, too. I'll take
Noah was a bit puzzled. When he reached upstairs, he saw Xavier washing his hands. There was handwash everywhere. Yvette, while cleaning the disorganized sink, was complaining."Couldn't you have asked Mark to explain where everything is and how to use it?"Yvette was under the impression that Xavier had called her upstairs for something important. But it turned out that, due to his pride and blindness, Xavier hadn't allowed Mark to tell him where everything was placed. Now, he was fumbling around on his own, unsure where anything was, making a mess.Last night, he'd left the bathroom in complete disarray. And now, without shame, he had called Yvette upstairs to clean up after him."Why don't you call your dear 'cousin' up here to clean this?" Yvette's complaints echoed into Xavier's ears.He was in disbelief. He couldn't have imagined that Yvette, who used to obediently answer with nothing but "yes", would now dare to criticize him."Yvette, have I been too nice to you these p
Yvette stared straight at Xavier. "Are you planning to take Noah away from me?"Just because she hadn't asked earlier didn't mean she had forgotten about it.Xavier seemed confused. "What makes you think I want to take him?"Yvette hesitated, wondering if she had misunderstood. "In that case, I'll take Noah home tomorrow.""Do whatever you want," Xavier replied indifferently.Seeing his casual attitude, Yvette was convinced he wasn't trying to take Noah from her. She sighed in relief and was about to head downstairs to call Noah to the guest room when Xavier stopped her again."Don't teach the children nonsense," he mentioned."Nonsense? What are you talking about?" Yvette didn't understand him.Xavier was silent for a moment before he replied, "Noah and Zac are too mature. Some thoughts they have aren't appropriate for kids their age. Also, instead of filling their heads with strange ideas, teach them more practical things."The way Xavier said it was vague, but Yvette unders
