After Yvette finally took the medicine, Jeremiah helped her lay back in bed. She was still in a daze from the fever, and her head and throat were still hurting.Jeremiah didn't leave. Instead, he placed a cold cloth on her head. Her head instantly felt better, and she grabbed his hand. "Xavier, I feel terrible."He gulped slightly and said, "It'll be alright after a while.""You're lying…"Yvette was feeling weak, and she let go of Jeremiah's hand after only a short while. Jeremiah held her hand tightly instead.After an hour, her fever was finally gone, and she was able to sleep. When he got up to leave, he heard her phone ringing. He took a look at it and saw Ray's name on the phone.He had looked into Ray before and knew he wasn't just any bodyguard. Ray was a capable man Claude had arranged for Yvette. After Jeremiah had returned to Tirion, he'd finally learned that Yvette had been referring to Claude when she'd talked about "Chubbs".In truth, Claude was the illegitimate so
It was Jeremiah.Ray had a rough idea about Yvette and Jeremiah's special relationship. Now that he knew Jeremiah was the one who'd taken her away, he could finally relax.Meanwhile, Xavier had already begun a search for Yvette all over the city. Even without Ray's help, it didn't take him a long time to find out Jeremiah was involved.When he found out that Jeremiah had taken Yvette away, it was already 1:00 am. He tightened his fists so hard that they started making cracking noises. He got into his car in just a minute. His bodyguard had located Jeremiah's private villa, and they just had to take a quick drive there. However, Xavier stopped the driver halfway through the journey."Let's head back."The driver and bodyguard were confused.Xavier had already thought it through. He figured he would fulfill Yvette's wishes if she liked Jeremiah enough not to go home.…When Mark went to Azure Villa the next day to report for work, Xavier interrupted him. "Get me a lawyer first.
Yvette was confused, and when she looked around, everything seemed unfamiliar. She wondered where she was.She remembered she had been at the cemetery and that Xavier had shown up and taken her away. She looked at Jeremiah and noticed that his clothes were nothing like Xavier's. Then, the realization dawned on her that she wasn't at Azure Villa.She looked at herself and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. She carefully got up, but she still ended up waking up the man beside her. Jeremiah opened his eyes and asked, "Oh, you're awake? Do you still feel unwell?"Upon hearing his gentle voice and seeing how his eyes were fine, Yvette was certain he wasn't Xavier. "Why am I here?""You fainted at the cemetery yesterday. I noticed you had a fever, so I brought you back here," said Jeremiah.When she heard that, she finally noticed the wet cloth next to her. "Thank you.""I've told you that there's no need for thanks between us." Jeremiah got up after sayi
The call was connected shortly after. Xavier's icy voice sounded from the other end of the call. "Are you finally free now?"Yvette was confused hearing his question. "Why did you call me?""Come to the Azure Villa now." Xavier only said a sentence before ending the call.Yvette became even more perplexed.At that moment, Jeremiah walked out, having taken a shower and gotten changed. When he saw her standing in the living room, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you had breakfast? Should I take you back?"Yvette immediately shook her head. "There's no need for it. I can head back on my own."She then thanked him again before leaving the place.There weren't many cars outside of Amberstone Villa. It took some time before Yvette was able to get a cab to Azure Villa.She wasn't sure what had happened to Xavier, but she thought it would be best to check on him.…It didn't take Leonard long to draft the divorce agreement after he arrived at Azure Villa.When Yvette arrived, she fou
Xavier grunted and quickly caught her fist just before it landed."Yvette!" He was clearly agitated when he asked, "What do I have to give you before you agree to a divorce?"Yvette couldn't free her hand from his grip. Without thinking much, she said, "I don't want anything. I only want Noah and Zac—and my two babies."She tightened her fist. "I'll sign the divorce agreement immediately if you agree to it."Xavier couldn't help but laugh at her response. "What are you talking about? How could the descendants of the Lane family go with you?"Agitated by his words, Yvette turned to bite on the back of his hand. The bite mark from the day before was still there. She was harsher this time and bit down hard.Xavier drew a sharp breath from pain and pushed her head away. "Let go!"He wondered where she'd learned all these underhanded tricks from.Yvette only released him when the metallic tang of blood hit her. "You're the one who started talking nonsense first. How dare you try to
Yvette got angrier by the second as she dashed out of Azure Villa.She had just found out that she wasn't James' daughter yesterday. Then, Jeremiah had taken her to his private villa after she'd collapsed from a high fever.She had hoped to get some comfort from someone, yet Xavier had asked for a divorce and accused her of cheating right as soon as they'd met.Not once had he asked her why Jeremiah had taken her away.She felt aggrieved thinking about it. Xavier might be sick, but had he also lost the ability to think on his own?Yvette's phone rang. She instinctively thought that he had called her, Yet, upon checking, she noticed that it was Jeremiah.She accepted the call and heard his soft voice asking, "Have you gotten back safely?"Yvette didn't want to worry him and lied, "Yes.""That's good. I forgot to ask you this morning—what exactly happened yesterday? How did you end up alone and faint in the cemetery?" Jeremiah had actually already found out the basics of the situ
Mark continued, "I've already asked someone to look into what happened during Mrs. Lane's visit to Yara."Xavier fell silent after hearing it. He started to wonder if he truly might have misunderstood her. No wonder she'd been so angry that she'd thrown a vase at him.He asked, "Where did Yvette go now?"Mark replied, "She probably went back to Dewberry Manor."Xavier propped his head up, trying to endure the pain. "You can head out for now. I'm going to rest for a bit.""What about the divorce? Mr. Cook is still waiting outside." Mark was becoming more daring now.Xavier impatiently said, "Just let him go.""Alright."Xavier stayed in his room alone after Mark left. Even though he wanted to rest, he couldn't fall asleep at all. He contemplated for the longest time before finally getting up. Mark was still there when he walked out of the room.Xavier said, "Let's go to Dewberry Manor."Mark knew that although Xavier had lost his memories, his feelings for Yvette remained unch
Noah felt perplexed when he was brought to Snyder Residence. "Why are we staying here, Mom?"Yvette ruffled his hair and said, "This is also our home. We should stay here more often. Otherwise, it'll just be collecting dust.""When will Dad move here to live with us then?" Noah continued, "I miss Dad."Yvette's expression faltered. She then put on a calm front and replied, "He's sick now. He'll come live with us when he's all recovered."Noah noticed the change in her expression and figured that his bastard father must've made her angry again.He lay down and said, "I hope Dad gets well soon. The four of us could then go for an outing!"Two days ago, Yvette had mentioned in her call with Zachary they would be going for an outing together.Upon hearing his words, Yvette hugged him, unsure of how to comfort him. Now that Xavier wanted to divorce her, he probably wouldn't be willing to even have a meal with them, much less go for a picnic.Yvette walked out of Noah's room once he
