Yvette tightened the blanket around her body and hurriedly rejected Xavier. âNo, letâs not.â
She got out of his embrace and quickly put her clothes back on. Then, she snuck out of the room. She didnât notice there were two pair of little eyes looking at her in the dark.
Noah softly asked, âWhy did he lie to us? Mom was in his room after all.â
Since Zachary was mature, he thought of one possibility. âDamn it! Weâve tried to prevent it for so long, but it still happened in the end!â
âWhat do you mean?â Noah didnât understand what he was saying at all.
Zachary didnât actually know a lot. âJust what happens in the TV shows that Grandma loves to watch. What else can a man and a woman do when theyâre alone? They were kissing!â
Noah had been in the hospital most of the time, while Zachary had been staying with Viola. When they were at home, she would always watch romantic TV shows.
Viola would get so touched all the time that she would keep crying. Although Zachary didnât like watch those shows, he would watch them with her like a good kid. After watching the shows, he could learn something new as well, like romantic relationships.
âDamn it!â Noah finally understood what was going on as well. âHow dare he kiss Mom on the lips?â
He was completely infuriated, and he didnât lower his voice at all. Yvette hadnât reached her room yet, and she turned around when she heard him.
They knew they couldnât hide from her anymore, so they came out of hiding.
Noah went straight to the point. âMom, why did you come out of Mr. Xavierâs room?â
He was jealous. Yvette hadnât kissed him for a long time, and he couldnât believe sheâd actually kissed Xavier instead.
âI⦠Iâ¦â As she looked at the two pairs of eyes, she didnât know how to lie to them at that moment.
Suddenly, the door to Xavierâs room opened. He walked out with an unfriendly look. about business. Whatâs wrong? Did you want to join us as well?â
were talking
The two children wanted to ask what they were talking about and why they had to do it in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from outside. It sounded like something had fallen from a great height.
Viola woke up to the noise, and she stumbled out of her room. âWhy are you all still awake? Whatâs happening outside?â
Yvette felt the most awkward, and she had no choice but to lie. âWe also got up when we heard something outside.â
âThen, letâs go take a look. Something probably snapped because of how much it snowed.â
As expected, when they went out to take a look, they saw a branch that had snapped from a big tree. It had fallen on the road, blocking the path.

Zachary thought of a great way to mess with Xavier.
âThe snow was too heavy, Grandma, and it snapped a tree branch. Itâs blocking the road. What if people start driving tomorrow?
âMister, youâre strong, right? Can you help us move the branch away? Youâll be blessed with good luck if you do something good.â
Noah added, âThatâs right, mister. Youâre the best, and Iâm sure you wouldnât want other people to crash into the branch, right?â He wanted Xavier to freeze to death after going outside.
Xavier was already in a bad mood because they had interrupted him earlier. Since he was upset, he said straightforwardly, âI can do it. But I canât see a thing now, so youâll have to help me.â
Zachary and Noah agreed to help at the same time.
Yvette wanted to speak up for her kids at first, but she suddenly remembered what Xavier told her earlier. So, she made sure those two wore thick clothes, and she handed Xavier a pair of gloves.
Then, Yvette and Viola watched as the two children instructed Xavier as he moved the branches. Then, he shoveled away the excess snow.
As Viola watched the three of them, she thought about how Xavier had been different recently. She couldnât help saying, âYvvy, if he stays this way forever, itâll be alright for you to be with him too.â
