Chapter 272

At the Flynn residence, Xavier found Selena with a constant smile on her face as soon as he got home. "Mom, what's going

on?"

"Yvette's pregnancy test results are out. I specially asked Uncle Yang for help with it. He's watched you grow up since you were little. Thank goodness, having a pregnancy test is a must; otherwise, I couldn't even get in. The police were eyeballing Yvette like she was a thief, and I couldn't even bring her some chicken

soup," Selena started to complain.

Xavier quickly reminded Selena, "Mom, what about after the pregnancy test results came out?"

"Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing-it's a boy! Our Flynn family is finally going to have an heir. I won't have to worry about you constantly," she said, though her worry only deepened. "Now the place Yvette is staying at is like a fortress. I can't even get in to take care of her!"

Xavier didn't want to hear Selena's grumbling any longer; he went straight to his room. Yvette used to sleep here with him, and now that she wasn't home, the room felt empty to him.

This feeling got stronger after he met Yasmine at the wine tasting. He couldn't forget how she looked that night. The soft waltz was playing, and Yasmine stood straight, her dress perfectly showing off her figure as it swayed gently.

Xavier had seen Yasmine like this before, at every banquet they'd attended during their three-year marriage. They've been to so many, yet he never once asked Yasmine to dance unless people were making a fuss about it, at which point he just wanted to hide.

The more these memories surfaced in Xavier's mind, the more his heart ached. Why hadn't he properly asked Yasmine for a dance-a waltz like this one? It was probably because the one who invited Yasmine to dance that day was Bernard, an old gentleman in his sixties. So, among all his emotions, there wasn't a hint of jealousy. The only picture left in his mind was Yasmine's graceful dance moves.

Her waltz wasn't stiff or traditional; instead, it carried a playful charm that made it unforgettable for Xavier. Whenever he reminisced about the past, the entire room seemed to linger with the scent that once belonged to Yasmine.
