Passion 192

Chapter 192

Xavier suppressed the intense anger in his heart. Then, he held Yvette’s face in his hand and kissed her right away. Y

vette finally realized that his hand was hurt earlier, and it was still bleeding. She didn’t feel bad for him. Instead, she tried her best to avoid him.

“Did you forget what I told you earlier? I won’t keep my word anymore.”

Xavier’s kiss landed on her cheek. When he heard what she said, he started breathing heavily. He tried to explain, “I owe Daphne a favor, and I have to pay her back.” (1)

When she heard that, she felt something stuck in her chest. “Then, don’t you have to pay me back too?”

He might think that Daphne had saved Shannon’s life, but Yvette saved his life! She didn’t understand why he would be so biased toward Daphne.

However, Xavier didn’t know what she meant by that. He thought she was referring to how he had given her the cold shoulder during their three years of marriage.

“I promise that we’ll have a happy life together from now on.” It was the first time he had compromised. If Yvette had heard this five years ago, she would have been overjoyed.

However, she didn’t believe him anymore.

“I’m tired. I want to rest.”

Xavier picked her up and entered the manor. He held her by force that night.

Xavier didn’t know why he couldn’t sleep that night. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think about how empty the house was when he had returned earlier. Meanwhile, his hand was still hurting.

After a long while, Yvette suddenly said, “Can I ask you about how Daphne saved your mother?”

She didn’t know why she had never heard anything about it at all.

Xavier told her how Shannon and Tristan had been set up back then. They had been on their way to the company in the same car when they had been in an accident. Then, Daphne had saved them.

After Yvette heard that, she was stunned. She finally knew why Triston had been so nice to Daphne and why Xavier tolerated her so much. Daphne had taken credit for what Yvette had done!

Yvette tightly clenched the edge of Xavier’s shirt, and her hands started to tremble. “If… If I told you that I was the one who saved your mother instead of her, would you believe me?”

He was stunned. Before he could say anything, she quickly added, “Don’t overthink it. I was just messing with you. I’m tired. Good night.”

Yvette closed her eyes after saying that. She didn’t know what was wrong with her. After saying what she had said, she was afraid to wait for his answer.

It might be because of how he didn’t believe her most of the time. After he had mocked her and given her the cold shoulder for so long, she didn’t think he would believe her anymore.

She was worried that he would say something that would hurt her,

Besides, the accident had happened over a decade ago. She didn’t have any proof that she had saved Shannon. If she continued on the topic, she would be humiliating herself. 1

Xavier didn’t take her words seriously either. After all, when he had gotten to the hospital after Shannon had been hurt, Daphne had been the one taking care of her. He had seen it with his own eyes.

After holding Yvette in his arms for a long time, he finally fell asleep. He had a dream that night. In that dream, Yvette secretly left him again, and he wasn’t able to find her anymore.

When Xavier woke up in shock, it wasn’t even morning yet. He instinctively looked next to him.

Yvette had gotten out of his arms, and she was sleeping in the corner of the bed. He pulled her back into his embrace and tightened his arms around him.

He wanted to continue sleeping, but his phone started vibrating. When he picked it up, he saw that Mark was calling him.

Xavier gently got out of bed and walked to the balcony before answering the call. “What’s up?”

“Mr. Lane, the finance manager had just told me that your personal bank account was hacked. You’ve lost more than seven billion dollars in an instant!”
