Isabella ignored Navier and kept eating her pancake with a hint of annoyance, though she took small, careful bites now. She had things to discuss with him after the meal.

Watching her break the pancake into little pieces and eat with growing enjoyment, Xavier felt his throat tighten. His hand, which had just reached for his fork, lowered back down.

He stood up. Right as Isabella popped another small piece of pancake into her mouth, he lifted her chin and took it from her…

By the time Isabella snapped back to reality, Xavier had already taken the food cleanly from her mouth.

Isabella touched the corner of her lips, which had been thoroughly ravaged and smeared by the man’s intense kiss, and grabbed her fork as she stood up.

Xavier, having already wiped his mouth with a napkin, sat back down in his seat, looking completely satisfied.

When he saw the fork in Isabella’s hand, a glint of amusement passed through his eyes.

“What? Didn’t you want me to have a taste?”

“Xavier, do you have some kind of serious illness or something?” The blush on Isabella’s face deepened. “Do you have to taste everything straight from someone else’s mouth?”

“Yes.” Not a trace of shame showed on Xavier’s face, his voice calm. “You were eating so happily. I wanted to see if it tasted better coming from your mouth.”

Isabella was once again left speechless by his shamelessness.

Not only shameless, but completely without boundaries!

He could say things like that without even flinching!

“And what did you taste?” Isabella asked sarcastically, setting the fork down in front of Xavier with a little more force than necessary. “Any hot peppers?”

“No.” Xavier stared at her. “But there’s another issue.”

Pierced by the man’s sharp gaze, Isabella felt a flash of guilt. “What other issue?”

“Why you cooked for me again.”

Xavier’s question was cool and direct, hitting right at the heart of the matter.

This was the second time the woman had cooked for him since moving into the house,

The first time had been with an agenda, so this he was no exception.

Only, the agenda was clearly different.

“Of course… I wanted to have a proper conversation with you.”

She cleared her throat, watching Xavier.

But the man seemed to be waiting for her to continue. He picked up his fork again and started picking at his food, eating selectively.

Even without being able to taste anything, he still came across as particular.

“Divorce is out of the question.” Xavier’s voice went cold all of a sudden, as if cutting off whatever she was about to say.

“It’s not about divorce,” Isabella said, somewhat deflated. “You even put Phoebe in the hospital. How could I dare go around causing trouble now?”

Xavier’s fork paused for a moment.

He turned his gaze to Isabella, and after a long pause, said, “What happened to her?”

“She got into a car accident.” Isabella studied Xavier’s expression. Was he pretending not to know, or did he genuinely not know?

Xavier was quiet for a while, then said coldly, “Good for her.”

Calling it “good for her” when talking about his mother… this man really was cold enough…

Isabella thought to herself, but couldn’t help confirming with him, “So, does that mean Phoebe’s car accident had nothing to do with you?”

“It could have.” Xavier let out a disdainful snort. I told you, I’m not getting a divorce.”

The man’s attitude made Isabella hesitate.

“Why are you so determined to stay tied to me? Don’t you have someone you care about in your heart?”

“Linda is not the person I care about! Isabella, how many times do I have to say it?”

Xavier finally lost his patience and set his bowl and fork down with a clatter.

Isabella was stunned. “Linda is not the person I care about“-this statement was basically

Isabella hadn’t expected to be instantly overwhelmed by such crushing disappointment.

She already knew about this…

Could it be that she had still been holding onto a sliver of hope?

The fact that Xavier was so unwilling to divorce her… that sliver of hope, she hadn’t realized, had somehow taken advantage of the situation and grown wildly.

She hadn’t even noticed it herself.

Seeing the woman suddenly go quiet, Xavier realized his tone might have been too harsh.

But his expression didn’t change much. After a long pause, he added in a lower voice, “I will make up for the past.”

“Make up for it?” Isabella’s heart felt cold, but a faint smile touched her lips. “Then I must have misjudged you. So the usually cold, ruthless Mr. Moore who doesn’t care about other people’s feelings can actually be so kind–hearted… Just to make it up to me, you’re insisting on starting over with me?”
