Yoselin eyed the table's offerings with little enthusiasm. After trying a bit, she grimaced and remarked, "Yasmine,
this soup is just terrible."
"You. What do you mean by that?" Donna shot up instantly, glaring at Yoselin with anger. Even though Yoselin
was the eldest of the Russell family, Donna couldn't keep putting up with it.
Yoselin sneered, "I don't mean anything by it. I'm just speaking the truth, or are you not allowing people to be
honest?"
Donna, used to playing coy, grabbed Morgan's arm and pouted, "Morgan, did you hear what she just said? So
rude and

"Morgan, you heard it, right? I'm not trying to start anything, it's her problem. Donna looked at Morgan
innocently, tears still clinging to her eyes.
Yasmine and Yoselin exchanged a look full of disdain. Even Yoselin thought such a ploy was beneath her,
reminiscent of the old Helen.

Morgan kept a neutral face, though there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. "Let's eat. From now on, let Finola
take care of this."
Donna felt the urge to argue but stopped when she noticed Morgan's look. She recalled Aunt Ivette's words
before coming: Morgan might appear cold, but he's really gentle, especially toward Yasmine, whom he treats like
a little sister. Morgan, a perfect gentleman, had always been their grandmother's pride. After catching a fleeting
glance of him at the New Year's family gathering, he stayed unforgettable. It was no secret in the Bowers family
that Donna liked Morgan. This visit was organized by Aunt Ivette, who clearly knew what she was thinking.
first tdoing this. If it's not good, of course Ms. Russell and Donna would dislike me. I'll try to learn "Morgan,
it's my better," Donna said, flashing a charming smile.
Morgan slammed his fork down. "I'm full," he said.
Yasmine noticed that his bowl was still mostly full, and her cousin Morgan looked visibly impatient. She could tell
he was on the verge of losing his temper.
"Morgan," Donna said, standing up, ready to chase after him. Luckily, Yasmine stopped her.
"Don't," Yasmine advised. "Morgan probably went to the study to take care of swork. Let's not bother him."
Donna looked Yasmine up and down, her tone indifferent, "What | want to do is none of your business, alright?
Stop interfering." Yasmine shot back a cold stare, thinking about how speople don't learn until they face the
consequences.
In the end, Donna didn't follow. She realized she couldn't rush things; Morgan's bad impression of her dated back
to the incident with Caleb.
Yoselin and Yasmine ignored Donna and headed upstairs after dinner. Yoselin was doing much better now than
when she was home; at least she wasn't prone to sudden episodes anymore. Her dependence on Yasmine was
unimaginably strong. Before drifting off to sleep, Yoselin asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Yasmine, will you
always be by my side?"

Yasmine nodded reassuringly, "Of course, now get ssleep.
"Click." Yasmine switched off the light, and the world was instantly plunged into darkness.
Yvette and Xavier finally got a chance to meet, set for 9 a.m. Yvette woke up early that day to get ready. She
hadn't been taking care of herself much, lounging around the house, and her belly had a noticeable curve. At
five months, the pregnancy was getting heavy. Yvette stood in front of the full-length mirror, anxiety tightening
her chest as she stared at her altered figure. Would Xavier find her unattractive now? She chose clothes that hid
her belly and applied makeup with extra care. But when Xavier walked in, his chiseled features made her eyes fill
with tears.
"Xavier, it feels like forever since | last saw you. I've missed you so much." Her gaze was locked on him, intense.
Xavier cin carrying two jumbo-sized thermal containers. Placing them on the table, he spoke softly, "Your
mom and my mom made all this food. They're both worried sick about you and the baby, fearing you're not
eating well here. My mom wishes she could send you all sorts of soups every day."
He popped open the two thermos containers, releasing a wave of rich aroma. One was filled with braised pork
made by Melissa, the other with black chicken soup from Selena. They'd both packed in loads of ingredients,
determined to ensure Yvette got all the nutrition she needed.
Yvette ignored the two thermos containers. With emotion in her eyes, she held Xavier's hand tightly, her voice
catching as she asked, "Xavier, have you missed me?"

Xavier found himself speechless under her loving gaze, so he skirted around it, asking instead, "How've you
been?" He smoothly slipped his hand away from hers, keeping his tone light.
Yvette's eyes were filled with pain as she Xavier truly cared for her, it wasn't love.
at him. They spoke volumes, and she wasn't naive. She realized that while
"Xavier, I'm alright," Yvette replied, "It's just tough not seeing you every day."
What hurts even more is every night when she dreams of Yasmine and Xavier wrapped in each other's arms,
murmuring sweet nothings as f the divorce never happened. These visions are like a harsh slap to her face.
Yvette always thought her fantasies were due to feeling insecure so she hoped seeing Xavier today would settle
her nerves. But now she realized it wasn't not seeing him that made her uneasy; it was the feelings that being
around him stirred up.
Maybe Xavier doesn't dislike Yasmine as much as she thought. At spoint, he started defending Yasmine, the
woman Yvette could barely stand.
Xavier said with a cool tone, "Yvette, | also... but don't worry, it won't be long before you're out of here."
Both the Grant family and the Flynn residence had already tried pulling every possible string, spending a lot of
resources and money, to sort out Yvette's issue. Unfortunately, someone untouchable was pulling the strings
from the shadows-it was Yonas, an unbeatable figure in Soucrity.
"Xavier, | know | made mistakes, and I'm going to fix them," she said, her voice tinged with irritation as she grew
more and more tired of Xavier's cold demeanor.
Xavier nodded and poured the braised pork soup from the thermos into a bowl, then slid it towards Yvette. "Have
some, it'll help you get better. Drink it while it's hot. Mom insisted that | shouldn't return without an empty
thermos, so make sure you finish it." Hearing the affectionate tone in Xavier's voice, Yvette felt relieved. She
wrapped her arms around his and said softly, "Xavier, being here alone these days, I've had nightmares. Each
time, | find myself missing you so much."
