Chapter 185

Yvette stared at the familiar face under the soft light and didn't know what to say.

Xavier lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and she tightened her grip on the blanket. "I'm a little tired now, so I don't want to do it today."

He was stunned for a moment. Then, he held her tightly and said nothing.

"Do you remember the first time we hugged?" she suddenly asked.

Xavier didn't understand why she had suddenly asked him about that. He thought she was complaining about him. "What happened in the past will never happen again."

He seldom apologized, and this was his way of admitting his mistakes.
