Xavier didn’t understand why Yvette was crying when he was the one who should be doing that.
He endured the pain and held her face while saying, “Yvette, I’ve just realized how you’re crueler than me. Do you feel great about taking my sons away and forcing them to call someone else his father? Who told you to leave me while you were pregnant? Didn’t I have any right to know about it at all?”
After he said that, Yvette didn’t know how to answer him at all.
“I’m sorry.” She looked up at him. “I can make it up to you.”
“How so?” he asked.
“How much do you want?”
“Do you think you can fix this with money?” Xavier was even more furious now. Yvette didn’t know what to do at all, and she just stood there silently.
The cold wind blew past them, but it didn’t seem like they felt it at all.
Eventually, Noah broke the silence when he woke up. “Mom? Mister? What are you two doing out here?”
He only noticed Yvette was crying after he asked that. Then, he instantly became anxious and hurriedly approached them. “Mom, why are you crying? Mister, did you bully my mom?”
He thought Xavier had become a nice guy, and it seemed to him that it wasn’t true at that moment. Then, Noah started punching Xavier’s legs with his tiny fists. “How dare you bully my mom?”
Yvette wiped the tears off of her face and was prepared to stop Noah. “Noah, he didn’t bully me. I just had something in my eyes—”
Before she could finish speaking, Xavier had already picked Noah up. “Who are you calling mister? I’m your dad.”
Noah was stunned as he didn’t understand why Xavier would know that. “Nonsense! You’re not my dad! My dad is Claude!”
If Noah hadn’t been sick, Xavier would’ve spanked his butt by now. He didn’t explain it further and just carried Noah back into the hospital.
“Hey, be careful! I almost hit the wall,
you stupid man!” Noah was still furious. He thought something was off with Xavier and Yvette that day, and he was still wondering why Xavier knew he was his son. Could Yvette have told him?
Since she was afraid that Xavier might punish Noah, she hurriedly followed them. Fortunately, Xavier just took Noah back to the ward and dropped him back on the bed.
Then, he said to the bodyguards, “Do
not let him out of the ward again without my permission.” After that, he added, “Also, no one can visit him without my permission.”
Upon hearing that, Yvette immediately grabbed his arm. “What do you mean by that? Can’t I see Noah as well?”
“You didn’t allow me to see both of my kids in the past either, right?” Xavier turned around and coldly pulled her hand away.
When Yvette’s hand was pulled away, she stood there in disbelief for a long time. She knew she had made a mistake.
So, she decided to look for him a few days later when he had calmed down. She didn’t return to Dewberry Manor. Instead, she stayed in a rented room in the hospital.
After Xavier left the building, he
didn’t go back to Dewberry Manor as
well. He just got into the car and
started smoking nonstop. Mark thought Xavier would be ecstatic to find out that the kids were his. However, his reaction was out of Mark’s expectations.
“Mr. Lane, you should stop smoking now. It isn’t good for your body, and Mrs. Lane will be angry if she knows about this.”
He thought Xavier would stop smoking if he mentioned Yvette’s name. However, Xavier looked even angrier after that.
