Chapter 109
Yvette had dinner at Kiki’s house and chatted with her for a long time. When it started to get late, she took a car back to Dewberry Manor.
She didn’t want Zachary to worry, so she asked Kiki not to tell him about her current living situation a Dewberry Manor or about Noah.

Zachary had actually already sensed something was off with Yvette today. Being the considerate child he was, he didn’t ask her about it directly; instead, he planned to subtly get information from Kiki.
Meanwhile, Xavier had returned to Dewberry Manor from the company at 5:00 pm. He sat on the living room couch. There was a delicate gift box on the coffee table in front of him.
The hour hand on the Oshtran–style wall clock struck 10. It was already 10:00 pm, yet Yvette hadn’t come back yet.
Xavier had never waited for anyone so long. He pulled at his tie in frustration, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.
He picked up the gift box with his slender, elegant hand. He had been checking its contents repeatedly to make sure that it would please a woman before closing it again..
Half an hour passed. Xavier grew even more irritable. Just as he stood up with the gift box in his hand, ready to personally fetch Yvette, he heard the sound of the door opening.
He looked over to see Yvette walking in. She was wearing a begonia–colored long dress and high heels.
Their eyes met. For a moment, neither of them spoke
Yvette was the first to snap out of it. “You’re still up?” she asked.
Not only was he up, but he hadn’t even had dinner yet. Xavier’s mind was a chaotic mess. “Where were you? Why are you coming back so late?”
“Oh, I went to my friend’s place for dinner.” Yvette changed into slippers and walked past Xavier, heading upstairs to her room.
She found it strange. Didn’t he always have people following her? Why even ask?
Xavier couldn’t hold back any longer. He blocked her path with his big, tall frame. “Aren’t you going to ask me where I went or what I did today?” he demanded.
“Weren’t you working? What else could you have done?”
Xavier had always spent his weekends and holidays working, so Yvette had never felt the need to ask. She was puzzled by his behavior now.
Upon seeing her clear gaze, Xavier felt his anger dissipate, even though he wanted to blow up. He stepped closer to Yvette and handed her the gift box
“It’s a gift from one of the company’s clients,” he said

Yvette stared at the gift in his hand for a long moment without taking it. In the past, whenever Xavier had done something wrong, he had always handed her something from a client to placate her.
Once, she had been pushed into a pool by one of Tristan’s friends. Not only had she nearly drowned, but her eardrum had become swollen, and she had almost lost her hearing.
In the end, Xavier had given her a necklace and said, “Nothing will happen if you don’t go to places like
that.”
That was th
time…
