Suddenly, the grandfather clock in the house started chiming. Viola turned around and looked at the clock. She mumbled, âItâs already midnight. Iâm heading to bed now.â
âAlright.â
Yvette watched as Viola left. Then, she placed her hand on the bump on her belly.
She felt complicated after hearing what Viola said. After all, Viola hated him a lot not too long ago. Yvette didnât understand why she would change her mind about him that quickly. Sheâd even said Yvette could stay with him.
Yvette looked at Xavier and the boys again and shook her head. There was no way she would walk the same path again.
When they cleared the branch and the excess snow, Xavier brought the children back to the house. Yvette immediately made a fire at the fireplace to warm them up. âTake a warm shower later and go to bed after
that.â
The children nodded their heads. Theyâd only been giving Xavier instructions earlier, and they didnât feel cold at all.
As for Xavier, his goodâlooking, slender arms were red, but his expression didnât shift at all. Heâd probably worked the most in his entire life during his stay there.
Yvette thought about what happened earlier that night, and she didnât dare to look at him. After the two children had warmed up, she immediately took them to take a shower and got them fresh clothes.
They might have been outside for a long time because now, the raging fire in Xavierâs heart was gone.
Soon, it was the New Year. Yvette woke up early to prepare delicious food for the children. Then, she started decorating the house.
Theyâd only celebrated Christmas when they were abroad. Now, they finally had the chance to celebrate the New Year.
When she walked toward the kitchen, she saw Xavier with the cook in there. He was in casual clothes and had an apron on him, looking like a househusband.
When he heard the footsteps behind him, he put down the pierogies in his hand and turned to her. âYvvy.â He didnât question who it was at all. When there werenât a lot of people around, he could tell who it was from their footsteps.
âYeah.â Yvette still felt a little awkward. âAre we having pierogies for breakfast today
Grace immediately said, âIâm preparing all kinds of vegan pierogies today. Would you like to prepare them
with us?â
Seeing how Xavier was in there as well, Yvette didnât enter the kitchen. âNo. The kids have just returned, so Iâm going to wash their clothes.â
After saying that, she left there quickly. Then, she went to the laundry room and did the childrenâs laundry.

She couldnât help slapping herself. âWhy are you being so awkward? Itâs not like youâve never gotten in bed together before!â
They had even touched each otherâs bodies. As she comforted herself, she didnât realize Noah was standing outside. He yawned and asked, âWhat bed, Mom?â
She blushed brightly again when she saw him standing at the door. âNothingâ¦â
Noah had a feeling like something was wrong with Yvette ever since last night. He approached her and said, âActually, Zac and I saw what you were doing with Mr. Xavier last night. Donât worry. We wonât tell anyone about it.â
She was shocked, and she asked, âDid you two see us?
âIt was just a kiss, right? Itâs fine. Just think of it as a bite from a dog,â he said while comforting Yvette. She felt ashamed; she couldnât believe sheâd let her children see her in that situation. She swore it would never happen again.
âThatâs enough, baby. Head downstairs and see if the pierogies are ready. If they are, you can start eating them.â
âOkay.â
After he left, she slapped herself again. Suddenly, her phone rang. When she picked it up, she noticed it was Shannon calling.
