Even Xavier had to admit that Noah’s provocation worked wonders. He looked at Yvette again and gulped slightly. Then, he softly said, “I’m sorry.”
Stunned, Yvette turned to look at him. It took her a long time to return to her senses. “It’s alright.”
Noah had used the most unconventional method to finally make Xavier apologize.
“Dad, I’m bored being here alone every day. Can you and Mom take me out to play today?”
When it came to acting coy, Noah was brilliant.
Xavier couldn’t reject his request at all. “Sure.”
After he agreed, he arranged for someone to take Noah to an amusement park nearby. Due to Noah’s health, there were a lot of activities he couldn’t take part in.
Worried that something might happen to him, Yvette kept her attention on him at all times.
When the family of three arrived at the amusement park, they stood out a lot.
After Noah walked for a moment, he started feeling tired. Seeing how Xavier showed no intention of carrying him at all, he figured the latter would be single forever. Fortunately for Xavier, he had the money and dashing looks, so he could avoid that.
“Dad, look at other people’s dads.” Noah pointed at a man who was carrying his daughter on his shoulders.
Xavier looked toward the man as well before looking back at Noah. Then, he said in disgust, No way.”
“But, Dad, I want you to carry me.” Noah stopped walking and stared at him.
“Don’t kick me.” Xavier only carried Noah after he gave the latter a warning. Noah didn’t cause any trouble this time and obediently stayed in Xavier’s arms.
He pointed everywhere and ask to play everything.
“Dad, get a panda and give it to Mom!”
“You’re awesome, Dad.”
“Dad, we want to eat that…”
“You’re the best, Dad…”
As Xavier carried Noah, the latter didn’t want to jump off anymore. Meanwhile, Xavier was actually obsessed with being called “Dad” over and over again, He almost forgot that Noah was supposed to be Claude’s son.

He carried Noah from the afternoon until the evening. They only stopped playing when Noah fell asleep on Xavier’s back.
“Why don’t I carry him now?” Yvette reached out
She had wanted to carry Noah a few times that day, but Noah had kept rejecting her. She figured it might be due to their father-and-son bond since it felt like Noah liked to stick to Xavier a lot.
What she didn’t know was that Noah was making things hard for Xavier on purpose.
“There’s no need for that.” Xavier rejected her suggestion.
Yvette’s hands froze in mid-air for a while before she pulled them back. “Thank you for playing such childish games with him.”
Xavier was walking in front of her. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. With the setting sun shining on him, he looked taller than usual. “Do you think our son would have been like him if he were still alive?” Yvette’s eyes shook a little, and she quickly avoided his gaze. “Maybe.”
He thought she was upset, so he stopped mentioning the topic.
After taking Noah back to the manor and asking the nannies to take good care of him, Xavier and Yvette drove back to Dewberry Manor together.
The weather in Tirion was shifting rapidly. It had been 86 degrees Fahrenheit a few days ago, but now, it was already down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
While they were on their way back, the cold wind started to pick up. When Yvette got out of the car after arriving at Dewberry Manor, it felt as if the wind could topple her over.
Xavier quickly approached her and stood next to her to block the wind.
“Yvette.”
She stopped walking and looked at him in confusion.
“I want to have a child.”
