âIâve already eaten your cooking for three years. I wouldnât mind doing it again,â Xavier replied.
Yvette smiled. When the food arrived, she went to the kitchen to cook it. In the past, she didnât know how to cook, but she learned slowly after getting married to Xavier.
Xavier had never been grateful. He took everything for granted, just like now.
He sat in the living room, but his eyes remained fixed on Yvette. He felt like he would never get sick of looking at her.
Yvette served the dishes one by one, and she added something special to the grilled fishâXavierâs favorite.
The two of them sat down opposite each other. Xavier hadnât eaten with her like this for a long time, and he did not touch his cutlery.
Yvette served him a large piece of fish. âYou said you wouldnât mind.â
Xavier picked up his knife and fork and began eating the fish on his plate slowly. Yvette watched him closely, feeling very nervous.
She had put a sleeping pill in the fish, but she was afraid that she hadnât put enough. She kept putting more on his plate.
He looked at her with his inkâblack eyes. âWhy arenât you eating?
âIâm not very hungry. You should eat more.â Yvette dug her nails into her palms out of nervousness. She began serving him the other dishes.
Xavier did not mention it again, and he finished all the food silently.
Although the meal was over, he did not look drowsy at all. Yvette was confused. Was the dosage too
low
âIâll pour you a glass of water.â She got up and walked into the kitchen.
However, Xavier grabbed her wrist. She was being unusually diligent. Hadnât she said that she didnât like him? Had she been faking it the whole time? Was this how she truly felt?

Yvette jumped in fright, thinking that he had found out. However, he asked, âIsnât there wate living room? Why do you need to go to the kitchen?â
Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. âI was going to get mineral water.â
âYou donât need to.â Xavier looked into Yvetteâs beautiful, amber eyes. His Adamâs apple bobbed up and down. âIâm not thirsty.â He did not let go of her and gripped more tightly instead.
âYvette, tell me honestly. Do you still have feelings for me?â He asked suddenly.
Before Yvette could respond, he explained. âDidnât you say that you lost your memories? I want to know if you still have feelings for me despite forgetting everything.â

The air seemed to congeal around them. Yvette did not know how to answer him.
The truth was that after she had chosen to divorce Xavier and leave, she no longer had any hopes for their relationship.
She pried his fingers off one by one. âMr. Lane, be frank. Youâre very outstanding, but youâll always be out of my league. I respect you very much.â
She respected him, but she didnât like him. Xavier remembered what she had said when she first confessed to him.
She had said, âMr. Lane, I like you, and not just because youâre outstanding. I would like you no matter what kind of person you become.â
At the time, she had been standing like an idiot at the entrance to the Lane Group building.
Xavierâs throat tightened. âSo you donât have any feelings for me anymore?â
He stood up and backed her into a corner as he bent down and leaned in close. The two of them were inches apart, and they could hear the sound of each otherâs breathing.
âWho do you like? Claude? Why didnât he come back with you?â Xavier asked rapidly.
Yvette panicked, and there was a ringing in her ears. Why hadnât he fallen asleep yet?
âMr. Lane, Iâm afraid youâve misunderstood.â
Xavier was dissatisfied with her answer. He put a hand on Yvetteâs face, which was burning with
embarrassment.
âIn the past, you didnât like putting on makeup, and you didnât like wearing clothes like this.â
Didnât like, didnât like⦠The corners of Yvetteâs eyes turned slightly red. She smiled bitterly. âHave you ever considered that it wasnât because I didnât like makeup or pretty clothes?â
Xavier was stumped.
