She didn't know Xavier in his youth, but when they were in Tripe, Xavier was completely different from how he was now. He wasn't this decadent or passive.
Even if he was a man of few words like her, his entire aura was completely different.
If the Xavier from back then had met Norah, he definitely wouldn't have cared about things like generational seniority. He would have loved Norah deeply and been with her without any hesitation.
Ever since that failed mission, Xavier had changed.
He sealed himself in the darkness of the past, rejecting light, rejecting beauty, and pushing all of it away.
She understood him, so her heart ached for him.
He also wasn't as indifferent toward Norah as he claimed. He just didn't dare to face it.
Jonathan's palm rested on her shoulder, gripping her delicate shoulder bone. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her face. "Don't overthink it. Norah forgetting Xavier—that's just fate!"
Estelle nodded slightly. Some things were indeed beyond human control.
If Norah really forgot Xavier from now on, then this would be the end of it.
The belt of Jonathan's bathrobe came undone, revealing a firm, sexy expanse of muscle. His hand moved down and forward as he leaned over to kiss her shoulder.
Estelle grabbed his hand, her voice soft and alluring. "Jonathan, you just said I could sleep after my shower."
Jonathan's voice was husky and muffled. "It's only ten."
"But I'm sleepy!"
Jonathan knew she had been busy lately and also worrying about Norah. It truly was exhausting. He leaned over, pulling her into his arms, and dimmed the bedside lamp. "Let's sleep together."
Estelle nestled in his embrace, her thoughts a tangled mess over Xavier and Norah. Only the crisp, cool scent of the man beside her brought her peace.
...
When he arrived at the hospital, Hannah Hanson, Yvonne, and some of the company's senior executives were all there.
Hannah immediately stepped forward, her face full of worry, and explained what happened.
"Gonzalez, you're finally here! Your father was fine earlier in the evening. He just missed you a little and kept mentioning how long it's been since you came home. Before bed, he brought it up again. In the middle of the night, he suddenly grabbed my hand, and I realized something was wrong. I turned on the light and saw his face had turned purple, and he couldn't speak. I quickly had the driver bring him to the hospital."
Several high-level executives from the corporation were also present. To them, Hannah's words painted Xavier as rebellious and immature—a son who refused to come home, causing Simon so much worry and anger that it triggered a heart attack.
Instantly, the looks they shot Xavier were filled with judgment and dissatisfaction.
They probably all thought that Xavier, well into his thirties, should be past his rebellious teenage phase. Yet he still did whatever he wanted, ignoring the company and his own father, only caring about his own carefree life outside.
Looking at his disheveled appearance, their disgust was practically written on their faces.
On the other hand, Hannah and her daughter treated Simon much better. Their considerate and attentive care was far superior to that of his own son!

As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
