Chapter 313
Back at the restaurantâs entrance, Yvette hurriedly pulled her hand back from Claudeâs face. âI was young back then and didnât know what I was doing.â
She had only been a few years old and hadnât known about keeping her distance from other boys at all. Back then, Claude had been short and chubby. He hadnât even been as tall as Yvette.
She had treated him like a younger brother. Everytime Viola had made something tasty, Yvette had taken some for him..
Now, he was taller than her by a head, and he looked dashing. Most importantly, he seemed so regal that no woman wouldnât dare to place her hands on his face.
As Claude looked at Yvette keeping her distance, he seemed lonely. âYou donât have to have everything when youâre with me.â
He remembered how he ha dbeen freezing during the winter when he had been young. Yvette was the one who had brought him clothes and food and made him happy. If it hadnât for her, he wouldâve frozen to death or gotten killed.
However, Yvette shook her head. âWe all need to learn to be sensible. If weâre too childish, people will find ús annoying.â
She had been too immature and insensible in the past, That was how she had ended up marrying someone who didnât love her and was also the reason why people had been disgusted by her.
Suddenly, Claude regretted not being able to take her with him when he had left Sangine County back then.
He also shouldâve returned before she had gotten married. He figured that if he had found her before she had gotten married, she definitely wouldnât be so careful around him now.
With that thought in mind, he got closer to Yvette and suddenly asked, âYvvy, shall we-â
Before he could ask her to be with him, they heard a familiar, cold voice from the distance. âDarling.â
Yvette looked toward the source of the voice and saw Xavier and Mark standing near them. Mark was staring at her with a ferocious gaze.
Xavier walked to her confidently. Although he couldnât see anything, he was still able to grab her hand in one try.
Then, he held her hand tightly. âWhy are you taking so long to buy the pierogies, darling? I was worried about you.â
Since he couldnât see, he pretended not to know that Claude was next to Yvette. He continued saying, â Why are your hands so cold? Shall I warm them up for you?â
Yvetteâs blood was boiling at that moment because of what he was doing and saying. She blushed brightly in front of Claude as she embarrassedly tried to get out of Xavierâs grasp.
However, Xavier wouldnât let go at all. With a strong tug, he immediately pulled her into his embrace.â
Darling, why is your body so cold too? Iâll warm you up when we get back later.â (1
If they had been alone at that moment, she wouldâve cursed at him right there and then. She pinched
Xavierâs waist hard with her empty hand. âMy friend is here. Watch yourself.â
He endured the pain and didnât let her go. âWhat friend?â His tone turned cold.

Claude hadnât expected Xavier to be actually blind and realized that the news was fake. He didnât know how Xavier had been able to twist the facts.
He coldly looked at Xavier and said, âMr. Lane, Iâm Claude Lander, and I grew up with Yvvy. When she wasnât by your side in the past few years, she was living with me. You probably knew this before you lost your memories.â
There was a lot of tension between the two men.
Yvette couldnât get away from Xavier. Just as she was about to scold him, he unexpectedly said to Claude, âUsually, I would remember everything my wife tells me.â
After that, he asked Yvette, âDarling, why have you never told me about such a friend of yours before?â He was trying to imply that she didnât care about Claude.
