Unbreakable Love His Passion for Her Transcends Death novel Chapter 417

Zoey stood up as well, wanting to follow them. However, Jeremiah stopped her. "Zoey, wait for me here."

He sounded gentle, and she couldn't say no in front of Shannon. However, she still felt upset. After all, she was about to get engaged to him. So, he should be accompanying her back to the room first.

After Jeremiah left the house, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.

It was dark outside, and it was also snowing heavily.

Yvette thought Jeremiah would only accompany them to the gates, so she didn't decline his offer.

She walked forward while tugging on Xavier's clothes. However, her vision slowly became blurrier, and she couldn't see the path clearly anymore.

She pinched her own hand to keep herself awake.

Xavier knew Jeremiah was following behind them, so he grabbed Yvette's hand with his warm one.

Yvette immediately sobered up. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Xavier tightened his grip.

Then, he said to Jeremiah, "You can leave us here. Instead of wasting your efforts on us, you should just do your best to manage the business."

Jeremiah stopped in his tracks and immediately understood what Xavier was implying. The latter knew that he'd drugged them.

It finally made sense to him why Xavier wasn't feeling anything at all. Unwilling to admit defeat, Jeremiah said mockingly, "That's where you're wrong, Xav. I'm just focusing on something that should've belonged to me in the first place. What's wrong with that?"

It felt tense between the two men. Since Yvette wasn't feeling like herself, she didn't realize what was going on.

She was so tired that she kept nodding off. When she couldn't keep herself awake anymore, she leaned against Xavier.

Xavier didn't mind it at all and carried her in his arms right away. As she leaned on his chest, she fell asleep. She felt like her body was burning in her dreams, and it felt truly uncomfortable.

When Jeremiah noticed that Yvette had fallen asleep, he stopped beating around the bush with Xavier. "It's time for you to return what doesn't belong to you, Xav. She never even loved you in the first place."
