Chapter 158

Xavier uttered those threatening words slowly.

Yvette’s gaze turned solemn at that. She had always known Claude was important figure abroad, but she had yet to learn exactly what his job was.

She had found him seriously injured many times.

“It’s not your style to harm others if it doesn’t benefit you, is it?” Yvette feigned calmness.

Xavier’s tall figure loomed in front of her. “It sounds like you know me well. How do you know it doesn’t benefit me?” His Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Yvette met his gaze directly. “You’d be spending more money on a bad deal. How is that beneficial?”

Xavier let out a cold laugh. “You’re wrong. I never do business if I’m going to lose. With the position I have, I know money isn’t the goal for some businesses.”

For years, he had been putting pressure on Claude’s businesses in the country, making things difficult for them to operate.

What had he done all of that for? Hadn’t it been to vent his anger?

If it hadn’t been for Claude, Yvette wouldn’t have dared speak to him like this now. That thought made Xavier furious.

Yvette, on the other hand, found it harder and harder to understand Xavier.

Even though they had known each other for over ten years, whether during their marriage or now, she still didn’t understand him. Similarly, Xavier had never understood her.

Their separation was indeed the right choice.

“Why are you doing this, then?” she asked.

“To make him suffer and to upset you.” Xavier enunciated each word.

Yvette’s clenched hand dug deeply into her palm. Even though she wanted to slap this bastard, she didn’t

dare do it.

“What did I ever do to you? Besides the fraudulent marriage, what else do you resent me for?”

Xavier placed his hand on her shoulder and leaned into her ear. “You shouldn’t have run away or deceived

me.”

-Did she know how miserable he had been during the years she had pretended to be dead?

Yvette’s eyelashes lowered slightly. “So, I have to let you take advantage of me without resisting, no matter what you do? Is that it?”

Xavier’s throat tightened.

“When have I ever taken advantage of you?” he growled. He thought that he had treated Yvette well throughout their marriage.

“I gave you more money than you could ever spend. Besides love, what have I not given you?”

After they had gotten married, he had Mark send Yvette money every month for their living expenses. That amount of money was more than an ordinary person could spend in several lifetimes

There he was, talking about money again…

“I never used that money. That was never what I wanted, Yvette murmured in response.

Thinking she was complaining again about not having children, Xavier lowered his head to kiss her.

Startled by the sudden kiss, Yvette hurriedly tried to dodge him.

His thin lips fell on her forehead before they landed on her face.

Yvette couldn’t hold back any longer and raised her hand to hit him.

However, Xavier grabbed her wrist and pulled her tightly into his arms. “I’ll give you what you want now.”

At this point, Yvette thought he might actually be sick in the head. Back when she had loved him to death, he had said that he would never touch her in this lifetime.

And yet, he was regretting it after she had chosen to leave him.

“You know nothing about what I want.” Yvette’s eyes had turned red.

Xavier leaned against her shoulder, breathing heavily. “What do you want? Tell me.

Yvette had been pinned against the wall. “I used to want your love so desperately. I wanted nothing more than for you to love me.”

Used to, she said….

Xavier tightened his hold on her. “And now?”

“I just want to live well with Noah.”

Yvette wanted a child, but she couldn’t say it.

She might have agreed if today had been her ovulation period, but it wasn’t. Other than wanting a child, she didn’t want any physical entanglement with Xavier.

Xavier’s embrace was so tight that he seemed to want to merge her into his bones. 1

“You said you would only love me in this lifetime. Your love sure is worthless.”
