Chapter 89

He opened his eyes and glanced at Yvette, who was nestled in his arms. The cold look in his eyes softened and became unusually gentle.

The air-conditioning was on, and seeing her huddled into a ball, Xavier raised a hand to get his coat and cover her with it.

Xavier was startled. Yvette came back to her senses and rolled out of his arms at once. She fell heavily onto the floor and took a sharp intake of breath in pain. Xavier saw how flustered she was, and he pulled her up. "What did you call me just now?"
