Chapter 181
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 was still in his arms. He eased up a little and held her tighter.
At that moment, he saw an old wound on her smooth back, and it looked like a knife wound.
Yvette had woken up as well. Thinking about it, Xavier asked her, “What’s with the wound on your back?”
She was stunned. She looked at the familiar face and felt sad and aggrieved. “Don’t you remember?”
She had gotten it back when she had blocked an attack for him. She couldn’t believe he had forgotten
about it.
Yvette figured Xavier was ungrateful like Tristan, and it made sense to her why they were best friends. However, Xavier really couldn’t remember about it. “When did you get this?”
She could feel her throat going dry. “When I was 17 years old.”
It was also when he had first taken over Lane Group. Back then, he hadn’t known if he was being targeted by someone from his family or a rival company.
He had almost gotten stabbed, but she had saved him by blocking the attack.
Most of the members of the Lane family knew what had happened, but he had forgotten about it. He touched the wound on her back, looking cold. “Who did it?”
Yvette shook her head. “I don’t know. We didn’t catch the culprit back then.”
Xavier stayed quiet for a while before gently lowering his head to kiss her. He had never known how to comfort others, so that was the only thing he could think of.
Just as his lips were about to touch her, Yvette dodged to the side. “It’s getting late. You should get to work now,” she said.
Since she had gotten what she had come for, she didn’t want to stay by his side any longer. Xavier frowned when she was suddenly acted coldly toward him. After all, she had still been passionate the

previous night.
He held her in his arms and didn’t let go. “I’m not going,”
He wanted to enjoy the beautiful moment and started kissing her cheeks and lips. He looked like a greedy
lion.
Yet, Yvette had gotten what she wanted, so she coldly avoided him repeatedly. He noticed what she was doing. He didn’t know why her attitude toward him had changed so drastically.
What he did know was that he had held himself back for too long.
The sun shone into the room, and it was already noon. Yvette blocked Xavier away with her hand. “I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”
He finally stopped what he was doing and gathered her in his arms. “Alright. I’ll get someone to bring us some food.”
He ruffled her hair, being gentle for the first time ever. “Let me hold you a little while longer.‘
Yvette thought he was being weird. Back then, he had hated her the most. A few days ago, he had even told her that he didn’t like her.
But he was acting like he was in love with her at that moment.
Suddenly, he said, “I know you drugged me last night.”
