Shannon could never suspect a child. She walked over to Zachary and squatted down. “Do you remember where your house is, then? I’ll take you there.”
Zachary was rather shocked to see her acting so kind and gentle. Even though Yvette had never told him about Shannon, he had already looked into her.
Shannon was the daughter of the Guetta family and was an outstanding woman. After marrying Clifford, she had raised Xavier alone because Clifford had never bothered to take care of the family.
op of that, she had never revealed a smile in public.

While Zachary remained stunned, Shannon added, “If you remember your mom or dad’s phone number, I can give them a call, too.”
Zachary came back to his senses and politely said, “Thank you. Can you take me to the bus stop on the main road? I can take public transport to get back home,” he said.
She liked him even more after seeing how polite and smart he was.
Shannon sighed. If Xavier had listened to her, she would have had a grandchild around Zachary’s age by now.
“Okay. Get in the car. I’ll take you to the bus stop.”
Since Shannon was his biological grandmother, Zachary wasn’t worried about her having bad intentions. He followed her into the car and decided to take the chance to see what kind of
person she was.
After they got in the car, Shannon couldn’t help but start a conversation with him.
Zachary started tricking her into revealing more information. “Do you live here, Mrs. Lane? That manor is really big
Shannon grinned. “That’s my son’s house. I don’t live here.”
He hurriedly asked, “In that case, you must have come to see your grandchildren, right?”
Shannon’s expression changed at the mention of grandchildren. She sighed and said, “I don’t have any grandchildren yet. If I did, I would have them living in a mansion bigger than a
palace.”
Shannon wasn’t joking around. If she learned that Zachary was her grandson, she would give him the best and most luxurious life imaginable.
When Yvette and Xavier had first gotten married, Shannon had hired someone to construct a playground, a kid’s racetrack, a skiing facility and all sorts of other places meant for children to have fun.

Luke was always out with some pretty ladies, while Xavier was all grown up, and he had his career to deal with. Shannon left lonely at home on her own.
She really wanted a grandchild who could stay by her side. She also hoped that her grandchild would be able to take over the Lane family’s business.
There was one more reason–her mother–in–law.
Zachary had never thought that Shannon would say something like that. He was under the impression that everyone in the Lane family didn’t like him and Noah, just like Xavier.
Upon noticing that they had reached the main road, he said, “We’re here, Mrs. Lane. Thank
you.
He got out of the car.
Shannon only told the driver to go back home after seeing Zachary get to the bus stop.
The driver had taken notice of Zachary as well. On the way back, he couldn’t help but remark, Kids nowadays are getting smarter and smarter. That boy’s eyes looked so much like Mr.
Lane’s.”
Shannon thought the same. Had it been any other child, she wouldn’t have been so kind. However, she liked Zachary more than any other child.
Meanwhile, Xavier came home soon after that.
Daphne had called him over earlier. She had said that she was dealing with a stalker fan.
Not only had the fan claimed to be her boyfriend, but he had even broken into her house and attempted to take her away by force. He had been planning to do something terrible to her.
By the time Xavier had rushed over, the man had already been driven away by the security. guards.
He had assigned a bodyguard to Daphne so that she could just call the police or the bodyguard if anything happened in the future.
When he had thought about how Yvette had been suffering from an allergic reaction and might not have had anything to eat yet, he had decided to get someone to order food for her.
The door to Yvette’s room wasn’t locked when he got to the second floor.
The white curtains fluttered in the wind as she sat at her desk. Her head was lowered while
she wrote sheet music.
Everything was so peaceful.

Xavier walked in and instantly noticed the rashes on her body. “Have you eaten?”
Yvette only noticed that he was there when his shadow fell on the paper. “You’re back.”
“Yes. Come downstairs and eat,” he said.
“I’m not hungry,” she replied. She continued to work.
“Even if you’re not hungry, you should come and eat,” he insisted. He then went straight downstairs.
Yvette had no choice but to follow him to the dining room. There was an exquisite array of food on the table. Xavier had gotten a restaurant to prepare the food and send it over.
She took a glance and realized that there were no seafood dishes. Xavier didn’t explain himself; he simply began eating.
After the meal, Yvette said, “Your mom came looking for me today.”
