Chapter 6

Yvette felt like all the blood in her body was curdling. She couldn't believe what was happening. Although she wanted to refuse and fight back, it was no use.

Xavier only seemed

By then, the sky outside had already brightened,

Xavier glanced at Yvette, who was all skin and bonès, then at the jarringly bloody spot on the bed. He didn't quite know how to describe what he felt.

Just then, Yvette reached up to slap his handsome face. That slap also crushed her hopes and dreams for love.

Her heartbeat was so loud that she could hear it in her ears. It prevented her from listening to what Xavier said. So, she interrupted him. "Get out!"

Xavier didn't know how he left. All he could think about was everything that had happened last night.

After Xavier got into his car, he called Mark. "Find out about all the men who are acquainted with Yvette."

Mark was baffled. Yvette had only ever interacted with Xavier after marrying him. How would she be acquainted with other men?

It was ridiculous and ironic that she and Xavier had only had sex when they were about to finalize their divorce.

Around 9:00 am, Claude brought breakfast over, but he didn't notice Yvette was behaving oddly.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you I have a spare unit at my apartment. You could move in. It unsafe for a woman to live alone in a

hotel room."

Yvette shook her head, refusing him. She didn't want to owe him a favor; after all, favors were often troublesome to repay.

Claude knew she would refuse, so he said, "The unit's empty anyway. Besides, it's not like I'll charge you rental fees for moving in." "But I'll only live there for a month at most."

"A month is okay, too. It's better than leaving the unit empty and not using it," replied Claude.

He didn't understand why she said she would only live there for a month when there was plenty of time in the future. Regardless, he drove her over to his place.

Yvette only had one simple suitcase. Once she got into the backseat, she and Claude reminisced about their childhood. Then, he told her about what he had been up to for the last. few years.

Claude had gone abroad after he had graduated from high school. There, he had worked part-time while studying. Later on, he had gone on to establish his company at the age of 20 and was now considered a wealthy entrepreneur.

As Yvette listened to his rich life experiences, she reflected on her own life. After she had graduated, she had only married Xavier and become a housewife.

Admiration filled her eyes as she looked at Claude. "You're incredible."
