Passion 62

Chapter 62

Mark didn’t stop Yvette when she arrived at Titan Corporation this time.

Xavier was standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, smoking a cigarette. Yvette’s words from the previous day were echoing in his mind. She’d had a miscarriage, and their baby was long gone. Just then, there was a knock on the door. He stubbed his cigarette out and called out, “Come in.”

Yvette pushed the door open and found Xavier in a bespoke suit, his tall and slender figure outlined against the light. It reminded her of their first meeting over a decade ago. He had also stood in the sunlight at the time, instantly catching her eye.

His piercing gaze reflected her delicate face and stunning figure. As he continued to gaze at her, she closed the office door and approached him.

“Mr. Lane, after our conversation yesterday, I went through some old records and realized I had misunderstood you. We were indeed married.

“There’s something I’d like to tell you. I lied about the blind date. I was actually there on behalf of my best friend.”

After returning home that day, Xavier had done some digging and found out the truth. His eyes widened in surprise, as he hadn’t expected Yvette to take the initiative to explain herself. “Did you come here to find me just to clarify that?”

With her clear eyes locked on him, she shook her head. Tve made up my mind. I want to recover my memories. But there are some things I don’t quite understand, and I’d like to ask you about them.”

She was standing very close to him, and he could see her cleavage at a glance. “What would you like to know?” His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

“Were we deeply in love before?”

His expression changed drastically. Yvette pretended not to notice the change in his demeanor and continued, “While I might not remember much, I’m certain that I would never marry someone I didn’t

love.”

Xavier’s deep, dark eyes gleamed faintly. In that moment, he wasn’t sure how to feel. Yes, you were deeply in love with me,” he said, carefully enunciating each word. His eyes misted over

Noticing his softened demeanor, she could tell that she had made the right move. Rising on her tiptoes, she closed the distance between them and whispered, “I’d like to see if I genuinely loved you. May 1?”

The next thing he knew, her lips were already on his. At that moment, his entire body froze. Her kiss was inexperienced, like a tantalizing brush of a feather. Watching her awkward yet bold attempt, his control snapped, and he took charge:

All the curtains around them were drawn, plunging the room into darkness. The sounds of their escalating passion filled the air. She was about to succeed! Yvette pinched her palm to stay focused,

Just then, there was a knock on the door. “Xav.”

It was Daphe. She ignored Mark’s attempts to stop her and stooling.

noticing that Xavier’s office door was firmly shut, she had a bad feeling.

Yvette hadn’t expected someone to come looking for Xavier in the middle of the day. Her brows drew together as she could only put her plan on hold.

She pushed him away. “Someone’s here,” she said shyly, avoiding his kiss.

Xavier listened to the persistent knocking, sexually frustrated. A minute later, the office door swung open. As soon as she walked in, Daphne noticed Yvette’s flushed cheeks and glistening eyes. She could instantly tell what had just happened between them.

“What is it?” Xavier’s husky voice brought her back to reality. Daphne tightened her grip on the invitation letter and walked up to Xavier, handing it to him.

“Xav, I’m releasing a new song tonight, and I hope you can come. I wrote this song for you.
