Yvette's chest suddenly felt tight.

Just as it was his first time being someone's husband, it was also her first time being his wife.

Yvette's eyes were cold when she warned, "Xavier, go back to Tirion. Don't make me hate you."

Xavier's body stiffened as he held her. "I'm not going back." His voice was hoarse. "I have plenty of time and patience." Growing increasingly perplexed, Yvette looked up at him. "You never liked me before; why are you clinging to me now?"

Xavier's throat tightened. "Because I never wanted to get a divorce!" he exclaimed, pulling the covers away and getting up. "Just call me whenever you need anything. I'm your landlord from now on." Yvette didn't even know how Xavier left. She contacted the previous landlord that night, only to find out the house had already been sold. She had no choice but to change the locks to electronic ones. Recently, she had received word of a potential business deal for a new song she had written. The prospective client was interested in discussing copyright and profit-sharing. The client was in town, and they had arranged to meet Yvette today.

Hoping to close the deal, Yvette got prepared early.

Since she had given Xavier a large sum of money, her finances were a bit tight. If she could secure this deal, it would significantly boost her annual income.

They had agreed to meet at a nearby five-star hotel. Tony Lowe, the person in charge of the company was a Longview Bay native who was reputedly wealthy.
