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
Yvette woke up early the next morning and made breakfast for Noah and Lillian.When Lillian came out after washing up, she saw a small table full of breakfast foods—meat pies, seafood chowder, spiced eggs, steamed pierogies, and more."Yvvy, did you make all of this?"Yvette nodded. "Yes, come eat.""This looks amazing. I'm so lucky!" Lillian pulled out a chair and sat down. When Noah came out, the three of them enjoyed breakfast together."Yvvy, you have no idea how I struggle to get up for work every day. I always just grab something from the street vendors for breakfast." Lillian sighed. She felt especially content—she was staying in the large manor without spending much money, she'd gained a new friend, and now she was even enjoying homemade breakfast."I'll make dinner when you come back tonight," Yvette offered."Great. I'll finish work early today and come home to help you," Lillian replied.Yvette hadn't known how to cook before; she learned to do it because of Xavi
Xavier was confused. "When did I ever curse you?" If he'd wanted Yvette dead, he certainly wouldn't need to resort to something as ridiculous as a curse."Just look at the flowers you sent and ordered to be all laid out in rows at my doorstep! They're all white and yellow flowers. Do you dare say you're not cursing me?" Yvette's voice trembled with frustration. She couldn't help but wonder if her pregnancy was making her emotions spiral out of control. But she wasn't wrong—white and yellow daisies were commonly associated with funerals.Xavier didn't respond and simply hung up the phone.Yvette's anger only flared when she saw the call abruptly end.Worried that she might be overthinking things, she turned to Lillian. "Lily, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"Lillian shook her head. "Not at all. Baby's breath is fine, but daisies? Who even sends daisies?""Forget it. I won't get angry. It's not good for my health," Yvette uttered, taking a few deep breaths. When she'd been d
