âDo you want to build a snowman?â Xavier suddenly asked.
He remembered that Yvette liked the snow a lot. She used to enjoy building snowmen like any other child. However, heâd thought that it was childish back then.
Yvette had never expected him to suggest the idea, and her eyes lit up for a second. Then, they dimmed once more. âNo. Itâs too cold outside: Besides, itâs childish.â
Xavierâs heart skipped a beat.
Yvette went back into the room. âIâm going to rest now. Please get out.â 1
Sheâd thought heâd insist on staying like he had the previous night. However, he unexpectedly left the room as he was told.
Yvette let out a breath of relief when she didnât need to chase him out. She instantly locked the door and used something to block it.
After she got into bed, she soon started dreaming. When she woke up the next morning, it wasnât snowing as heavily as it had last night. Rays of sunshine filtered into the room through the curtains as well.
She drew open the curtains and was prepared to wash herself up. Much to her surprise, she saw countless adorable mini snowmen on the snow.
She opened the door and walked to the balcony. Then, she saw Xavier building another snowman.
She felt complicated as she walked downstairs. She approached him in the snow and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âBuilding snowmen,â Xavier said, as though it was a normal thing for him to do. However, Yvette knew that he wouldâve despised it in the past.
Just as she was about to say something, a black Lincoln slowly approached them from afar. She recognized the number plateâit was from Lane Mansion.
As the car stopped, the door was opened, and Mandy got out. When she saw how the yard was covered in snowmen, she was slightly stunned.
She looked around before locking her eyes on Yvette and Xavier. She was shocked to see him building a snowman. However, she was professional enough to stop staring.
âMs. Snyder. Mr. Xavier.â
She approached them in the snow. âMadam Shannon asked me to take you two home. Mr. Jeremiahâs engagement is in two days. She said you must attend the engagement.â Despite her words, sheâd never treated Yvette as part of the Lane family.
âYeah, I got it,â Xavier coldly answered, feeling upset. He thought Mandy had ruined the mood between him and Yvette earlier.
In that case, please get in the car.â Mandy stood aside as she welcomed them into the vehicle.
Yvette wanted to reject the idea. After all, Viola was at home, and sheâd need to make some

arrangements first.
However, Xavier spoke first. In a domineering tone, he snapped, âGet lost! We can go there ourselves!â Seeing that he was getting angry, Mandy hurriedly nodded and left in the car. As the car drove away, Mandy couldnât help snapping a picture of the yard full of snowmen and sending it to Shannon.
The latter was confused when she saw the picture. Then, she saw Mandyâs text. âMr. Xavier built all of these snowmen.â
Shannon had been having her meal when she read the message, and she was stunned.
She couldnât believe the son sheâd always been proud of had changed so much after losing his memories. After all, heâd despised building snowmen in the past.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah and Zoey were sitting opposite Shannon. Jeremiah wiped his hands and asked, âAre Xavier and Yvette coming, Mom?â
Heâd brought Zoey to their house for a meal that day because heâd wanted Shannon to invite Xavier and Yvette over. He was hoping they could help him prepare for the engagement.
Shannon returned to her senses and nodded. âYeah. Theyâve agreed to come, and theyâll be coming in their own car.â
Zoey couldnât help but ask from the side, âMadam Shannon, Yvette is Xavierâs wife, right?â
When Shannon heard that, her face fell, and the mood at the table instantly became tense.
