Yvette only returned after taking Jeremiah back to his home. The moment she reached the living room, she felt cold. She couldn’t believe the heater was off on such a cold day. She tightened her jacket and entered the living room.
Then, she saw Xavier sitting on the couch alone, an aloof look on his dashing face. She hadn’t seen him like that since he’d lost his memories.
“Why didn’t you turn on the heater? Aren’t you cold?” she asked.
Xavier followed her voice and looked toward her. “Why would I feel cold when I’m burning with rage?”
His enigmatic tone confused her more. “What do you mean? Why are you burning with rage?”
Xavier hadn’t expected her to still pretend to be innocent at a time like this. She was truly treating him like a blind man!
Without wasting his breath on her, he took out a stack of photos and threw them at her. The photos scattered across the floor, all showing Yvette and Jeremiah hugging each other. They looked really intimate. Although Xavier couldn’t see anything, he could still hear everything. As for the photos, he’d gotten them to show them to her.
When Yvette saw the photos, she was stunned at first. Then, she was furious. She walked hastily toward him in her high heels. “Did you get someone to secretly snap photos of me?”
She’d thought he’d changed, but it turned out that wasn’t the case at all.
Xavier was stunned. “Is that the problem now?” His eyes weren’t focused on her. Otherwise, she would’ve thought he hadn’t lost his sight.
“Jeremiah is my brother, and that makes him your brother-in-law. Why did you have to hook up with him out of everyone in the world?” After Xavier said that, he felt something was off. He didn’t want her to find anyone else other than him.
Suddenly, she slapped him hard across the face. Xavier could feel his face stinging in an instant, indicating how much force she put into that slap.
“He had a relapse, and I was just
helping to support him. What do you mean ‘hooking up with him? Do you like the idea of me cuckolding you that much?” Yvette’s voice sounded hoarse at that moment, and she felt more aggrieved than ever.
When Xavier heard her explanation, he suddenly lost all of his confidence.
Yvette clenched her fists tightly. “If something were to happen between us, it would’ve happened a long time ago. Why would we even wait to do it now in front of Lane Mansion’s gate? There’s no way we’d let you find out about it.”
He knew he was wrong, so he didn’t dare to say anything else.
Since she was furious, her hands were still trembling. “Did you forget what I told you? I’m just taking care of you for the time being, and we’re still getting a divorce. What gives you the right to spy on me?”
When he heard that, his anger faded
away. He thought he was ridiculous for approaching her with the photos before getting to the bottom of things that day. After all, he’d recently noticed that she’d started to forgive him for what he’d done.
Xavier dropped his arrogant act and spoke softly, trying to sound as gentle as possible. “I didn’t get anyone to spy on you. I just told
someone to protect you in the shadows. Mark said you’d been in a few accidents before, and was worried about your safety
Yvette wasn’t going to be coaxed that easily. “Do you need to snap photos of me to protect me? In that case, I’ll tell your men to do the same to you, alright?” Xavier was stunned again. He’d been able to manipulate her in the past. Now, he didn’t know what to do anymore, and he didn’t know why.
“You can sleep downstairs by yourself tonight.”
After saying that, she ignored him and slammed the door loudly when she returned to the bedroom.
This was the first time Xavier had been kicked out of his own room. He was truly the one in the wrong this time, so he had no choice but to sleep outside.
