Chapter 272
As Xavier said the hurtful words, he kept kissing Yvette, He wanted nothing more than to hold her forever. âHow can I make you drop the lawsult? Tell me what you want. Iâll give it to you as long as you drop it!â
If the court finalized their divorce, he didnât know how else he could force her to stay by his side. âJust tell me what you want. As long as I have it, I can give it all to you!â he said over and over again.
She struggled to avoid him. Seeing how she wasnât saying anything, he held her tightly and asked in a deep voice, âDid Claude contact you?â
She blocked him away. âI donât want anythingâ¦â
Xavier didnât believe it, so he kept hugging her and didnât let go at all. The car had been stopped by the road, and the snow kept snowing nonstop. The sky slowly got dark, but he still wouldnât let go. Whenever Yvette moved a little, he would tighten his grip around her.
She looked down and said, âXavier, have you started to like me?â
She had asked him the same question before. She wasnât sure before, but the answer seemed clear this time. Xavier was stunned, and he looked down to meet her clear eyes and gulped.
When he didnât say anything, she slowly got closer to him. âYou donât have to answer me anymore.â
She smiled bitterly. âI donât need you to like me now. I just want you to let me go. So letâs get a divorce, alright? Iâm begging you.â
Xavier felt like there were thorns in his throat, and it would even hurt when he breathed. âNo.â
Yvette looked disappointed, and she didnât say anything else.
At that moment, he missed the old her. He really wanted to turn back time and go back to the moment when she had loved him.
After Yvette stayed in his embrace for a long time, she got tired and fell asleep. He looked at how quiet she was in his arms. For a moment there, he wanted to leave with her, thinking that weâd make her stay by his side.
At that moment, his phone pinged with a notification, snapping him out of his thoughts. When he looked at his phone, he saw a message from Mark.
âMr. Lane, Iâve found Leonard, and he has promised to be our lawyer for this lawsuit. Heâs also confident about winning the case.â
After Xavier read the message, he deleted it. When he held Yvette again, he felt more at ease. She had been woken up by the noise.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed that she was still in his car. âCan I go back now?â
Hearing that, he covered her with his cat and started driving back. She was in disbelief when she saw the sudden change in his attitude.
Xavier took her back to Kikiâs place and watched her disappear from his sight before driving away. After he left, he immediately called Mark and said, âTell Leonard that if we lose, he wonât be able to work in the legal field anymore.â

After Yvette came back, Kiki asked if she had gotten any useful evidence. She told the latter about what had happened. âIt looks like his emotions are still unpredictable. We can use that as well.â
As they kept thinking about the divorce, Kiki had no idea that her first love would be returning to Tirion
soon.
That night, they slept together. Yvette called the two children on the phone. âHello, boys.â
âMom, where are you?â Zachary could tell that she was staying in a new place. She had to lie and say that she was on a business trip. She even told them that she would be able to see them after a month.
Noah said pitifully, âMom, you have to come back quickly. Zac, Grandma, and I are too lonely.â
âSure.â
They only ended the call after chatting for a long time.
Zachary said, âMom is back in Tirion.â He had been able to find her IP address in no time. Noah was confused. âWhy is she back there? Is it because of that bastard father?â
Zachary didnât answer his question. Instead, he said, âLetâs mess with him properly tonight.â
