"What? Do you expect a limo?"
I didn't even arrange for a limo during my wedding to Lorraine.
Yvonne's expression turned ugly when she heard my mockery. She frowned maliciously.
"Yvonne, don't look at me like that. You know me better than anybody. You don't have to test me that way."
I had long guessed her reason for insisting on taking Xavier away. She was just testing me to see if I would make her stay. "I have Lorraine with me. You can do whatever you like."
That was my final answer.
Yvonne blushed. She looked at the opened door with gritted teeth. She had already declared her stance, and there was no taking it back.
Xavier popped his head out of the room and snuck glances at Yvonne. She hesitated for a long time before leaving the room.
"Yvonne…" Lorraine was about to go after her, but I stopped her. "Don't go."
"But she's just a lady."
Xavier had a target on his back, so Lorraine thought that it would be the same for Yvonne. Although Yvonne was divorced from me, she was still my ex-wife.
"Don't worry. She'll be fine."
"Why?" Lorraine looked confused. "Would those people let her go?"
"Yes. They'll let her go." I smirked at Lorraine.
Lorraine instantly understood what I meant. "You're saying that they have something to do with Yvonne? But Xavier is her son?"
Lorraine thought that Yvonne might be selfish, but she would not be so cruel as to risk her son's life.
