As soon as Yvette got home, she handed the food she bought to Noah, telling him to have a snack first. Then, she busied herself in the kitchen, ignoring Xavier. Xavier had hoped her bad mood would blow over soon. But Yvette continued to ignore him during dinner.

Noah noticed the strange atmosphere between them. It seemed like his bastard father had made Yvette angry. No one was happier than him. He thought it served Xavier right.

During the meal, Noah deliberately made a show of things in front of Xavier. He served Yvette food and asked her to feed him. "Mom, I want some chicken, but it's too far. Can you feed me?" "Sure," Yvette responded, attending to Noah the entire time.

Xavier fumbled with his cutlery a few times and didn't manage to get any food. He ignored her, too.

After dinner, everyone gathered to watch TV in the living room, but only Yvette and Noah talked.

When Yvette went to the bathroom, Noah proudly taunted Xavier. "Mr. Xavier, now you see, I'm Mom's precious one. You're nothing but someone who can be replaced any time." Xavier's expression was tinged with helplessness. "Shut your mouth!" he ordered.

"No, I won't!" Noah teased, sticking out his tongue.

After that, he couldn't help but ask, "So, how did you upset Mom?" Yvette was such a kind person; she rarely ever got angry.

Xavier replied in annoyance, "What do you know, kid?"

"You're the kid."

Noah stopped asking, thinking that as long as Yvette ignored his bastard father, it didn't matter why. So, he sat back down to watch TV.
