Chapter 126
Yvette hadn’t expected Xavier to be so straightforward. She thought about how he had stopped what they had been doing halfway when she had made the first move.
At that moment, she wasn’t as impulsive as she had been before. “I don’t think that’s appropriate.”
He got close to her. “We’re still husband and wife, so why isn’t it appropriate?”
As he spoke, he untied his robe. She couldn’t help but turn her head away to avoid looking at him.
Xavier noticed how embarrassed she was, and he gulped slightly. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to touch you.”
She was stunned as reality hit her as she had expected. “If you like sleeping here, I’ll sleep in the guest room.”
Then, she turned around to leave. Since she couldnt have what she wanted, there was no need for her to stay there.
However, Xavier grabbed her wrist and pulled it forcefully. Her body leaned forward and heavily fell into his embrace. Just as Yvette was about to get up, he held her tightly in his
arms.
“Don’t move. You’ll continue to sleep here in the future as well. I can’t sleep when I’m alone.”
Ever since she had left, he had started having insomnia. He took a lot of medication and hád even seen a psychiatrist.
Still, he hadn’t gotten any better at all. He could only barely sleep when he held her in bis arms after her return.
She found it a little hard to believe when she heard him say something like that. “You better keep your word.”
“Yeah.”
Yvette lay on one side of the bed and purposely placed a blanket between Xavier and herself. After she closed her eyes, she thought about what the doctor had told her before she returned to Tirion.
The doctor said that when a person lost consciousness, he would have no idea what was going on. If she was going to achieve her goal, she couldn’t let him lose his consciousness completely.
The only way she could do that was by getting him drunk. However, when she tried to get him to drink, he got her drinking instead.

It was no wonder no one had succeeded in that mission before. Xavier would never let anyone get him drunk. He hadn’t even fallen for Shannon’s trick during the celebration earlier that night.
Yvette thought about how they were together every day now. He was still cautious around her when he was sober. So, she had to make him let his guard down around her before trying to get him drunk again.
As she thought about it, she started dozing off. She didn’t even realize that Xavier had crossed over the border and held her in his arms.
Meanwhile, Kiki was at her house. She ended the call, completely unaware that someone ha been spying on her call the whole time.
Zachary placed his headphones down in the room next door; he looked rather worried.
He finally understood why Yvette had seemed so down as of late. It turned out that his bastard father had brought Noah here.
Now that Zachary had heard that Xavier even wanted Yvette to pay him 7.9 billion dollars, he figured he had to work harder on the dark web. With that thought in mind, he got to work to earn some money.
Fortian Manor was one of the private assets Xavier had kept hidden for many years. It was deep in the forest, and no one knew about the place.
The security there was the best in the world. The whole manor and its surroundings weré under surveillance 24 hours a day.
Without his permission, no one could enter. Of course, no one would be able to leave as well.
That was where Noah was kept. He w
