Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Yvette figured it was pointless to explain, so she stopped talking and sipping her coffee silently.

James shifted his gaze and turned to look at Michael who was sneaking glances at Yvette. James’ gaze softened.

James said. “Michael, this is the person you’ve been wanting to meet, Siren, or Yvette. You can call her Yvette.”

Yvette just lifted her eyes a bit, silently accepting the familiarity

Michael timidly lifted his head to sneak a peek at Yvette, and his eyes were full of joy. Then Michael shyly lowered his head, nervously fidgeting with his hands, hesitatingly managing to say complete sentence.

Michael said. “Yvette, I’m Michael”

James reassuringly patted Michael on his shoulder and he glanced at Yvette, feeling a bit embarrassed.

James said. “I’m sorry. Yvette. Michael has a few quirks. He likes your papers and has wanted to meet you. I hope you don’t mind.”

Yvette lifted her gaze and casually glanced at Michael, showing no curiosity.

The calmness in Yvette’s gaze was completely free of malice, which made James feel a bit moved..

For years, others had looked at Michael with a hint of malice and disdain. They wouldn’t dare to show it in front of James, but James noticed it

James sighed. “Michael is…”

Yvette put down her cup and calmly said, “Autism.”

James was taken aback for a moment, then nodded at Yvette.

As James remembered past events, a deep sorrow appeared on his face. He spoke solemnly, “Yes, Michael is an autistic child.” Yvette raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes, and her fingers were lightly tapping on the table.

Yvette said, “Autism, also known as autistic disorder, is a key condition of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Currently, PDD is categorized into five types: autistic disorder, Kett’s syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, Asperger’s syndrome, and unspecified PDD. Among these, autistic disorder and Asperger’s syndrome are the most

common.”
