Xavier's expression darkened. "Since she told you to stay, you can go to Dewberry Manor and take care of her."If Yvette liked to meddle so much, Xavier might as well let her deal with Jeana.Jeana froze as she instinctively wanted to refuse. However, she soon realized that living with Yvette meant being close to Xavier. A smile crept onto her lips. "Okay. I'll head to Dewberry Manor right now."She hurried out of the villa. She hadn't expected it to be this easy.…Meanwhile, Yvette was unaware that Xavier had passed this pickle back to her. She took the revised song she had worked on the previous night and left home once again.When Jeana arrived at Dewberry Manor, Yvette was not there. As the staff didn't recognize Jeana, Wendy went to Noah and asked if he knew her. "Do you know a 'Jeana'?"Noah replied immediately, "A hyena? I've never seen a hyena in real life!"Wendy, hearing this, turned to the security at the door. "She's probably just someone looking to get Mr. Lane'
Jeana continued asking a few more questions. During their conversation, the security guard even went out of his way to find her a jacket to wear.Jeana's eyes lit up. "Mister, you're such a kind person."The security guard blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.Jeana added, "Don't worry. I'm not lying. Soon, I'll be living here. I hope we get along!""Really? That's great, Ms. Churchill! I'll help you with whatever you need."In less than half a day, Jeana had won over the security guard with her beauty and eloquence.…Meanwhile, Yvette had just finished her meeting with Aaron. Since it was already quite late, Aaron insisted on driving her home."Ms. Cameron, I still want to ask you some questions about the music sheet on the way. Let me drop you home. Don't worry. My team has checked outside. There are no paparazzi."Yvette had no choice but to agree to it. After all, there was nothing inappropriate about them just discussing work.It was still pouring when they f
"Thank you, Yvette." Jeana's face lit up with a smile. As she followed Yvette inside, she made sure to return the jacket to the security guard and thanked him as well.With this kind and approachable demeanor, whether dealing with high society or everyday people, Jeana knew how to leave a good first impression. That was how she gradually won over everyone around Yvette.Once inside the manor, Jeana took her bag and headed to the bathroom. "Yvette, I'm going to change into dry clothes"Yvette merely hummed in response.Both Noah and Wendy were surprised.Wendy was shocked to realize that Jeana was indeed related to Xavier. And yet, she had kept Jeana waiting outside all day. What if Jeana retaliated? Noah, on the other hand, was amazed that Yvette would let a potential threat into their home.After changing, Jeana came out and greeted Noah, then headed straight for the kitchen. "Sir, can I lend you a hand? I once trained under a top-tier chef." Jeana offered to the head chef.
"You mean pregnant women can't go hungry?" Jeana pretended not to understand Yvette's question before she innocently uttered, "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Yvette knew she was faking ignorance and continued eating without saying anything more. Shannon's arrival had nothing to do with Yvette, anyway.A while ago, the doctor had examined Yvette's pregnancy, confirming that it was indeed unstable. He had also advised that she must maintain a regular diet, as going hungry could affect the development of the fetus. Yvette already had a sensitive stomach to begin with.Noah, noticing Jeana's act, parted his pouty lips. "Mom, please don't scold Jeana. She's never had a child, so of course, she wouldn't know something like this." He looked at Jeana and continued, "Jeana, you can't get a husband, can you?"Jeana's expression changed instantly. "What?""You must be over 30. You look older than Mom. Is it because no one likes you, and that's why you can't find a husband and haven't gotte
When Shannon entered, she instructed Mandy to put down the gifts she was carrying and headed straight to look for Noah. But, Noah was still freshening up at that moment.Shannon then walked into the kitchen, where she saw Jeana eating. Jeana noticed her too and immediately the atmosphere turned awkward."Aunt Shannon, you're here already!" Jeana quickly put down what she was eating.Shannon glanced at her with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "This is my son's house. Am I not allowed to come here? What about you? Why are you eating in the kitchen?"To Shannon, Jeana's behavior seemed quite improper. Jeana understood that, too, and responded pitifully, "I'm sorry, Aunt Shannon. I was waiting for you all night yesterday and didn't eat anything. I was just so hungry this morning.""You should be more mindful in the future," Shannon advised. She was about to inquire how Jeana was doing in the Churchill family when Noah's voice interrupted from behind."Grandma!"Shannon's face lit
Yvette was baffled. Why was Jeana, who claimed to be at Yvette's house to serve her, telling her when to get up?"Yes. What's the matter?" Yvette replied calmly."Aunt Shannon is here. She asked me to get you. Please don't be mad at me!" Jeana exclaimed in a voice loud enough for Shannon to hear from downstairs.Shannon frowned, feeling displeased. How could Yvette be angry when she was the one who was waking up so late? As she couldn't scold Yvette in front of Noah, she suppressed her irritation. Once Yvette came downstairs, she commented, "Make sure to get up earlier next time. Don't sleep so long. It's not good for the baby."Yvette immediately understood that Jeana must have said something to Shannon. There was no point in explaining further, so she simply replied, "Okay." After all, Shannon only visited a few times a month. Once she left, Yvette could get up whenever she wanted. There was no need to argue over what time she woke up.Hearing Yvette's agreement, Shannon did
The vehicle started, and they made their way to Dewberry Manor.After a 20-minute drive, they arrived at Dewberry Manor.As Jeremiah got out of the car, he spotted Yvette sleeping on a lounge chair in the garden, sunlight pouring over her, her exposed skin glowing white."Mr. Lane." The security guard recognized Jeremiah instantly and opened the gate without hesitation when he saw Jeremiah.Most people found it hard to tell Jeremiah and Xavier apart, since they looked identical.Jeremiah walked straight to where Yvette was.However, Yvette remained unaware of his presence as she slept. Seeing this, Jeremiah simply stood there without a word.Perhaps feeling the warmth diminish due to someone blocking the sunlight, Yvette instinctively turned over and removed the book covering her face.Drowsily opening her eyes because of the persistent dimness, she noticed a figure standing before her. As she looked up, she met the deep-set gaze of a man."Xavier? Why are you back?" she ask
"Long time no see." Jeana's smile was a bit strained. She took a few steps back, waiting for Shannon and Noah to approach.Yvette found it rather surprising to see Jeanna act this way.After all, Jeana was always quick to rush up to a man, acting all cute and charming. Why was she now acting so distant with Jeremiah?"Jerry, why are you here?" Shannon walked over, visibly confused."I heard that Xav got injured, so I came to check on him," Jeremiah replied."Oh, Xav isn't here. He's staying at the villa over by the bay." Shannon turned to Noah. "Noah, say hello to your Uncle Jeremiah."Noah had always been well-behaved and had met Jeremiah several times before, but for some reason, he felt a bit afraid of the man today."Uncle Jeremiah," he finally managed to say after snapping back to attention.Jeremiah nodded warmly, bending down to hand Noah a piece of candy. "I didn't bring you any gifts this time, so here's a piece of candy I picked up during lunch."Although Jeremiah se
