Seeing how Xavier was sitting alone at the side, Zayden still wanted to mess with him. He remembered how arrogant Xavier had been before heâd gotten into an accident.
Zayden glanced at Jeremiah once more and noticed how he showed no signs of standing up for Xavier. So, he confidently walked toward Xavier with a glass of wine in his hand.
âXavier, drink this glass of wine Iâm holding now and apologize to me. Then, I shall forget everything youâve done in the past.â He swirled the glass of wine and spat in it before handing it to Xavier. When the latter heard that, he didnât even raise his head.
Seeing how Xavier was ignoring him, Zayden became infuriated. He bent down and said with a low voice,â Do you think youâre still the same Xavier from before? I can squash you like an ant right now, so you better listen to me.â
Everyone else looked toward them, but no one dared to help Xavier. He slowly clenched his fists tighter. Just as he was about to punch Zayden, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
âXav, why did you come alone without for me?â
It was Yvette. Upon arriving, sheâd noticed Xavier was sitting in the corner and being bullied. She thought about how heâd helped her before.
Now that heâd lost his sight and memories, she couldnât watch as he got bullied. After all, he was also Noah and Zacharyâs father.
When Xavier heard her voice, he immediately relaxed his fists and stood up. Then, he pretended to look pitiful as he walked to her. âYvvy, I thought you werenât coming.â
When she suddenly appeared, everyoneâs gazes fell on them.
Even Jeremiah, whoâd been seated at the table and drinking his coffee, looked at them as well. He gulped slightly, and it felt like the coffee in his hand had started to boil.
Yvette stood next to Xavier and habitually held his hand. Then, she looked at Zaydenâs perverse face. â Zayden, Xav is still recovering, so he canât have any alcohol. You should drink that yourself.â
Sheâd seen how Zayden had spat into the glass of wine earlier. The Lane family really had opened her eyes. She couldnât believe they were bullying a blind person. Was this what a wealthy family was supposed to be like?
Zayden hadnât thought Yvette would actually dare to attend the dinner. Seeing how she was dressed up glamorously, she didnât look like the ugly duckling from before.
âSince he canât drink, you should drink in his place as his wife!â He wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Xavier for how the latter had humiliated him in the past.
Zayden brought the wine near Yvetteâs mouth. If she didnât dare to drink it, they would never let her and Xavier walk out of the mansion in one piece.
She looked at the glass of wine in front of her and saw how everyone was watching the commotion. Then, she decided to accept the drink. Before she could reach out, they heard a cold voice. âThatâs enough.â

It was Jeremiah. He stood up and walked toward the three of them.
âSince itâs the New Year, letâs not make things ugly.â His voice sounded gentle yet threatening at the same time.
Zayden looked at Jeremiah, who looked exactly like Xavier, and he unwillingly stopped what he was doing.
Jeremiah hadnât even looked at Xavier earlier; Zayden didnât understand why he would suddenly help Xavier now. After all, the two brothers werenât on speaking terms.
After Zayden stopped what he was doing, everything seemed to have returned to normal. However, although Yvette was wearing a hearing aid, she still heard how the crowd was mocking them.
âOneâs blind, while the otherâs deaf. I guess they are a perfect match now.â
As a blind person, Xavier could hear them perfectly with his great hearing. However, he was calmer than usual at that moment. He said with a smile, âYvvy, hereâs the cake you usually like. See? Iâve kept some for you.â
Yvette looked down and saw the small cake she liked a lot on the table in front of him. She wondered if this was the same Xavier from before. Was he still the man who would leave her without saying anything after people mocked her for being deaf and him for being married to her?
