Kiki had never expected that Michael and Archibald would decide on her marriage with just a few words. She knew she had no right to refuse, so she could only accept it. "Letmake it clear-Zac is not his son. Don't blme if I get kicked out later." "Nonsense. Buy yourself snice clothes tomorrow. Now get out. Don't botherand Zac while we're playing chess." Michael wished he didn't have his daughter around so that he could focus solely on raising his smart grandson.
Kiki left, feeling dejected. Worried that Yvette might not be aware of the situation, she called the latter and let her know so that she could be prepared.
After the incident with Zayden, Yvette didn't go to help with the engagement preparations again. Shannon didn't say anything either-she believed what happened in the family should stay in the family. Zayden was still in the hospital. As for the official reason, the Lanes lied that he had accidentally fallen into the river.
Yvette sat leisurely on the couch and asked Xavier, "Do you remember Tristan now?" "Not really." Xavier continued to lie.

"Yeah, I think so too." Xavier immediately agreed.
Far away at the Shaw Residence, Tristan sneezed.
Since Xavier and Tristan were friends, Yvette hadn't expected the former to agree with her. She continued, "What if he bullies Kiki?" Xavier responded without hesitation, "Don't worry. He won't." He wouldn't let Tristan bully her. After all, Kiki was Yvette's friend.
"Why not? Do you know him well? Didn't you just say you don't remember him?" Xavier choked before he quickly changed his response. "My intuition is tellingthat." The head of the Lane family, who usually relied on his skills, was now depending on his intuition.
"Hopefully. If he dares to bully Kiki, I definitely won't let him get away with it!" Yvette muttered.
"I'll help you," Xavier added.
With his words, Yvette was completely reassured. Tristan might be bad but he was afraid of Xavier the most. Even though Xavier couldn't see now, Tristan stil respected him a lot.
Inside the warm house, the conversation between the two continued. Meanwhile, outside, Jeremiah sat alone in a car. Jeremiah's deep eyes gazed toward Xavier's room. Memories of the past, when he had been with Yvette, filled his mind. "Xav, I don't want to go back. If only we could stay outside forever." "If only tcould stop at this moment." Jeremiah suddenly couldn't stop coughing heavily.
He hated his illness. If it weren't for his sickness, Yvette would have married him. Why hadn't he dared to tell her his real nback then? As the sky darkened, Jeremiah sat in the car the entire night.
