Shannon thought Xavier didn't want anyone to know about Noah's mother. She figured that was the reason he hadn't told anyone when he had brought Noah back.Xavier was speechless. He wondered if she would still treat Noah as her family if Noah wasn't his son. "Stop sticking your nose in this matter." After saying that, he ended the call.He could no longer sit still, and he went through his phone's gallery. He had three photos in a hidden album. The first one was a photo of Yvette's examination report when she had gotten pregnant in the past. Then, there was Noah's photo. As for the final photo, there was the back of a young woman in it.He looked closely at Noah's photo and wondered if he was truly Claude's son. Xavier didn't fully believe it, but he didn't dare to get someone to check. If the results proved that he had nothing to do with Noah, all his hopes would be dashed.With that thought in mind, he decided he would rather not look into it, and he turned his phone off.
As Xavier held Yvette, she just stood there stiffly. After a while, she shook her head. "I don't." It was the truth.When he heard that, he hugged her tighter. Then, he caressed her face with his large hand. At that moment, he felt like she still belonged to him.Yvette knew it was time, so she looked up at him. Then, she stood on her toes and kissed his neck. She slowly moved her lips upward until they reached his lips. Xavier felt warm wherever she kissed him.He tried to hold himself back multiple times, but it didn't work. He put his hand behind her head and took the initiative to kiss her back. He didn't care what she was planning anymore. He wanted her tonight!She could feel his attitude changing, so while she was catching her breath, she said, "I'm a little scared. Can we have some wine first?"As Xavier looked at her teary eyes, he held himself back and said with a hoarse voice, "Sure."Yvette grabbed the strongest wine they had in the cellar and popped in the pill tha
It only ended after midnight. Xavier was still intoxicated, but he held Yvette tightly.She looked at the semen she had collected in a sterile cup and knew it was time for her to leave. She tried getting out of his embrace, but he held her even tighter. She had no choice but to hide the cup under the bed. She would leave with it when he left for work the next day.Yvette looked up at Xavier, who was sleeping soundly. She started feeling guilty and whispered, "I was sincere when I apologized to you. But I wasn't apologizing for faking my death and leaving you. Instead, I was apologizing for this…"She had only conceived Noah and Zachary because he had forced her. She didn't feel sorry because of it. However, she knew she was wrong to hide the truth from him this time. Nevertheless, she still had to do this. It was the only way she could ensure Noah and Zachary would stay by her side.…When the sun rose the next day, Xavier woke up with a slight headache and noticed that Yvette
Yvette looked up at Xavier in disbelief. He wasn't angry. Instead, he just looked at her and slowly said, "Now, tell me. What do you want?"They were close to each other as she looked into his complicated gaze and lied, "I was just upset and wanted to have you for once."She lied to him again!Xavier pulled her head into his embrace and chuckled softly. Then, his eyes became teary. "You got what you wanted. Now, what? Are you going to leave me again?"His large hands held her tightly, making her feel like her shoulders were about to break. "I—"Before she could say anything else, he interrupted her. "Believe it or not, you'll never be able to leave Tirion without my permission!"She trembled slightly. "I've promised that I would pay you back everything before I leave. Besides, Noah's still here, isn't he?""Where will you get so much money?" he asked.Although he knew that she was a famous composer abroad, she wouldn't be able to gather the amount he had requested in such a sho
Ever since Yvette had decided to get a divorce, she had never thought about being a real couple with Xavier.He touched her loose hair and said, "Say my name."She softly said, "Xav."He wanted to kiss her again. Unfortunately, someone rang the doorbell and interrupted the beautiful moment. It turned out that someone had brought them some food.…After an hour, they were done with breakfast."Don't you have anything to do at the office today?" Yvette tried asking.Xavier noticed that she wanted to leave him badly. "Yeah. I've assigned most of the work to others."He thought he should've done that earlier. As the CEO of the company, he had too many tasks. It made sense for him to let others share his burden.Yvette couldn't help feeling frustrated. If he didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to return to the room to get the cup of semen.He looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to go to the office?"She shook her head. "No. I was just curious.""I'll drop all the work I have
While Xavier and Yvette were on their way to Sangine County, it started to rain heavily.As Yvette sat in the passenger seat, her eyes happened to land on Xavier's gorgeous side profile, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly retracted her gaze and looked out the window. Before she had gotten him for herself, she used to think he was hard to approach. But now, she had touched every inch of his body.No matter how aloof a man was, his relationship with someone else would change after having skin contact.Xavier had noticed that she had been looking at him. So, he held her hand when they were taking a break from driving. "I'm not used to you being so quiet."Yvette looked at him as he added, "You used to talk nonstop."When she heard that, she couldn't help smiling bitterly. "In that case, you definitely don't remember saying that you hated me talking too much."Xavier was stunned, and it suddenly felt tense in the car. Yvette thought she had said something she shouldn't have
Yvette stared at the familiar face under the soft light and didn't know what to say. Xavier lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and she tightened her grip on the blanket. "I'm a little tired now, so I don't want to do it today."He was stunned for a moment. Then, he held her tightly and said nothing.Yvette leaned against his embrace and could hear his heartbeat. "Xav…""Yeah?""Do you remember the first time we hugged?" she suddenly asked.When Xavier heard that, he thought about the time she had hugged him for the first time. It had been their first night after their wedding. James had just passed away back then, but Xavier had dragged her away.Xavier didn't understand why she had suddenly asked him about that. He thought she was complaining about him. "What happened in the past will never happen again."He seldom apologized, and this was his way of admitting his mistakes.However, Yvette looked at him in confusion; she didn't understand what he meant by that. The fir
When Yvette heard that, she held Xavier's hand and hugged him. Then, she gently kissed his lips. That was all she planned to do. However, he set the plates down and placed his hand behind her head. Then, he kissed her more passionately.Xavier didn't know why, but when they were doing something so intimately, he couldn't see any emotions in her eyes at all. He felt upset and bit her lip.Yvette winced in pain. She wanted to push him away, but he grabbed her hand tightly. So, she bit himback for revenge, and she didn't stop until she tasted blood.Xavier breathed heavily as he held her face with his big hand. "Look at me and say my name."She looked up and noticed the reddened lips she had bitten. "Xav." She was emotionless and wasn't the same young woman who only had him in her eyes anymore.Xavier's heart ached, and his eyes reddened a little. Then, he picked her up. He didn't care about her rejection anymore and placed her on the couch. "Say my name!"Yvette didn't know what
