Xavier stood in the doorway with hands in his pockets. He blocked the entrance without a change in expression.

"Grandma, why are you here all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing. Can't | cvisit?" Edith immediately sensed that he was reluctant to let her in, but she was

determined to enter. "I'm here to see Move aside." Standing by the door, Lily felt her emotions grow more

complicated upon hearing Edith's words.

Had Xavier not told her about their divorce? Why h

hadn't he said anything?

"Move aside!" Edith jabbed Xavier's leg with her cane.

He grunted in pain but then turned and walked inside, leading the way. He grabbed Lily and quickly pulled her

into the dining room, pressing her against the wall

"I haven't told her about the divorce," he said softly.

"Why haven't you told her?" She asked almost simultaneously.

The scent of his cologne, a mix of nicotine and sandalwood, lingered in the air, and their closeness triggered

memories they weren't ready to confront. His breath brushed against her cheek, making her lashes flutter.

"Grandma's health isn't great, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. And the divorce isn't final yet. If we tell

her now, they'll interfere for sure." Xavier raised his hand to her chin, gently guiding her face to meet his gaze.

His smile was laced with both mockery and sarcasm. "You probably don't want anything to mess up the divorce,

do you?"

If the Fulton family found out, there was no telling whether the divorce would actually go through

"Wait," she started, suddenly recalling the broken vase. "You can't makepay for the vase. Otherwise, | won't

cooperate."

Xavier laughed, clearly amused. Her face showed contentment, but her tone was so forceful. He almost wanted

to expose how badly she wanted to stay by his side right then.

He agreed too quickly, and Lily immediately regretted it. She instinctively grabbed at his shirt. "You can't restrict

my freedom anymore, | need to go to work, I..." "Lily?

Edith bent down slightly, her body pecking from behind the kitchen cabinet

A smile appeared on her face when she saw Lily with her arms wrapped around Xavier's waist. "I don't visit often.

You two should tone it down, or my heart might not be able to handle it." She'd never seen Lily and Xavier so

playful. Their interactions were more than just politeness and respect.

Right now, one had a stern expression while the other's brows were raised-what a perfect match. Now that was a

couple. Before, their behavior had seemed too staged, like something from a TV show. Only then did Lily notice

she had tugged his shirt out of his pants. Her hand had naturally moved to wrap around his waist.

She quickly pulled her hand back but still felt it wasn't enough. She then pushed Xavier away, trying to create

sspace between then.

"Grandma, |— I'll go prepare sfruit for you."

Then, she turned to open the fridge, the cold air rushing out.

Edith smiled and walked happily into the living room. Emma helped her take off her cotton jacket and asked,

"Mrs. Fulton Senior, did you notice anything?"

"Yes." Edith spread her arms to help remove the coat. "Xavier probably didn't want you to cbecause he

thought you'd get in the way. He wanted salone twith Lily."
