“Sure, I’ll give you one last chance,” said Jeremiah.
Daphne let out a breath of relief. “Mr. Jeremiah, don’t forget your promise. You said you would help me get back into the entertainment industry if I succeeded in my task.” “Of course.”
Then, she finally told him her plan. Although it was a vicious plan, it was a surefire way to make Yvette give up on Xavier entirely. So, Jeremiah agreed to it.
…
When Xavier returned to the manor, he told his men to check the surveillance cameras. As expected, he was told that Jeremiah was in a car outside, talking to Daphne.
Xavier’s gaze went cold. It seemed like he had to get Jeremiah out of the country as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything at that moment, and it made everything difficult.
Meanwhile, Yvette had finished the preparations for the Christmas dinner. All she needed to do was finish cooking everything when the time came.
When she saw Noah entering the manor, she couldn’t help being confused. “Didn’t you go out for a walk with Xavier?”
He yawned and said, “I think I just want a rest.”
“Alright, baby. Get some rest,” she immediately said, thinking that he was feeling unwell.
After Noah went upstairs, Yvette noticed that Xavier still hadn’t returned yet. So, she decided to head out. Right when she headed out, she saw a familiar figure leaving, and her heart skipped a beat.
No matter how long it had been, she would always remember Daphne clearly. She tightened her fists and stood still.
Xavier only turned around after putting his phone away. He didn’t know she was standing there.
“Xavier,” she called him coldly.
Xavier froze on the spot. “Yvvy?” Then, he followed her voice and walked toward her. “Why are you out here? It’s cold outside.”
Seeing how much he cared about her, Yvette didn’t want to keep everything in her mind like in the past. So, she asked directly, “What’s Daphne doing here? Do you remember her?”
“I don’t know what she’s doing here either,” he answered. For a woman like Daphne, there wasn’t much she would want from him. It was either wealth or power.
Xavier answered Yvette’s second
question, You and Mark told me about her all the time, right? I might not remember her, but I know what kind of person she is. Don’t worry. I won’t get tricked by her.”
Hearing his answer, she was stunned. The snow was so thick that she couldn’t even see that far.
“Xavier, do you really like me and not her? Is it just because you haven’t gotten back your memories yet?”
Yvette didn’t want anyone to be forced to be with her, nor did she want to be someone else’s substitute. If Xavier didn’t love her, she could leave him without any hesitation.
After all, she didn’t love him unconditionally like she did before anymore. All there was left was his connection to the kids.
Xavier was speechless. As expected, it would take more lies to cover the previous lie. He never would’ve expected his lie about losing his memories to cause him so much trouble.
“I only love you, Yvvy.” He only dared to say something like this while pretending to have amnesia.
Xavier was worried that Yvette might
bring up a divorce again, so he hurriedly said, “If I liked Daphne before lost my memories, why would I only remember you after I lost them?”
It was true that he only remembered Yvette when he had first lost his memories.
“Maybe you were just too upset with me?”
She still remembered how they had still been fighting in court right before the accident had happened.
She had even admitted in front of
the lawyers and judges that she was seeing somebody else. Then, she had threatened Xavier into having a divorce, and he had infuriated
because of that.
Since he was an extremely proud man with a huge ego, she figured he probably remembered her because of his resentment.
At that moment, Xavier really wanted to tell her that he had regained his memories. However, right when he was about to say it, he hesitated again. “Yvvy, do you love me now?” he suddenly asked.
