When Allison heard her son mention that they had broken up, she was overjoyed.

However, on the surface, Allison looked heartbroken a s if she had lost her prospective daughter-in-law, Bianca. "Why did you two suddenly break up? What kind of a problem is so bad that can't be resolved?"

Bianca turned to leave.

Allison pretended to try and stop Bianca. "Bea, I beg you... Don't tell the two old men about this yet. Their bodies won't be able to take it."

Luke raised his eyes and looked at the door where Bianca's figure disappeared.

At the same time, the other deep set of eyes in the room also looked toward the door. After that, Xavier's gaze turned to his cousin, Luke.

Allison had her back turned away from the three of them. She rubbed her fingers before turning to give Yvonne an encouraging look.

Yvonne got the hint. She went to pour a glass of water and put it next to Luke's left hand. "Here Luke, drink some water."

Luke stopped his work, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to pinch his

eyebrows. He ignored everyone, including the excessively courteous Yvonne who

Xavier got up, stood in front of the window sill, and lit a cigarette. He had one hand holding the cigarette and used the other to push the window open. He glanced inadvertently at the garden downstairs.

The woman who his aunt had called Bea went to the garden.

Even though they were far apart, he could still see Bea's face clearly.

As a veteran in love, Xavier understood that those words said by Luke just now were probably invisibly mixed with ice knives, cutting through Bea's heart.

Xavier listened to her aunt chatting happily with Yvonne about family affairs. It was obvious that his aunt was only pretending just now. The only person she actually liked and accepted to be her daughter-in-law was Yvonne who came from a well- off family.

Deep down, she probably disliked Bea.

After smoking a cigarette, Xavier put out the cigarette butt, raised his head, and said, "Aunt Allison, I'll be leaving first. I have an appointment with a few friends at the wine bar in the evening."
