Chapter 576

Penulis: Light Breeze
Gabriella didn't want to talk, though. She was too tired for that. She lay down and pressed her face against the pillow, sounding a little nasally as she said, "I'm tired. I want to sleep now."

She didn't accuse Xavier of anything or harbor any resentment toward him. She was far from outraged, too. As always, she was proper and composed.

Xavier's heart felt hollow. He felt like he still had many grievances to air and complaints to make. But ultimately, he softly bid Gabriella goodnight before leaving the bedroom.

The sound of the door clicking shut prevented him from hearing Gabriella's soft sobs. She was still sad—sad that Xavier had done something like this on the night she'd discovered she was pregnant. He'd gone straight to divorce before she could even tell him they had a baby on the way.

Of course, she didn't think he and Yvonne were involved in any way. She just lamented the fact that she and Xavier weren't meant to be together.

Meanwhile, in the guest room, Xavier took a s

    Xavier didn't return home. Anna had booked him the earliest flight to Eboris, and everything was already checked in. But when he got to the security checkpoint, he stopped.What was the point of rushing to Eboris? He and Gabriella had already separated. They were no longer related to each other. Was he going to Eboris to beg for forgiveness and get back with her?Gabriella wouldn't agree. She'd been with Brody for eight years, and even when Brody regretted it and tried to win her back, she still married Xavier without hesitation. She'd always been bold and vibrant.On New Year's Eve, the departure hall was bustling, and everyone wore joyful expressions. Xavier's handsome face looked dejected. He turned back from the security checkpoint, attracting curious stares as he walked toward a bench and sat down.Even with a visible injury on his face, his striking features and composed temperament remained. He tilted his head back slightly, showing off his beautifully defined jawline, drawi

    Xavier was stunned. Gabriella had gone to Eboris? He blurted almost uncontrollably, "Why did she go there?"Evelyn shook her head. "I don't know. Mom and Dad went with her—they'll be back after Easter. Velma will stay there with her. I heard from Landon that it's because she wants to expand the business there. He told me she'll be back once she makes enough money."Xavier wanted to force a smile and keep up appearances, but even without looking at himself, he could sense how stiff and ugly his smile was. This was so unbecoming of him. After a while, he asked, "Did she say anything? Did she leave any messages for me?"Evelyn hurriedly said, "Yeah, she did."Xavier's smile became a bit more genuine. He and Gabriella had been married, after all. She wouldn't leave without saying anything to him.Evelyn told him to wait as she carefully extracted a box from her pocket. She handed it to him and said, "Ella told me to pass this to you. She said it's her wedding ring and that it's expe

    Xavier returned to his marital home that night. It was only 8:00 pm, but the place was silent save for the occasional sound of the maids' footsteps. It was almost eerie.He wasn't the type who enjoyed being surrounded by noise, but he couldn't help finding the place much too quiet. His leather shoes clicked against the sparkling marble. The sound was crisp, but there was something lonely about it. Even the bright lights made him look pale.He took his jacket off and looked up at the second floor, blurting, "Is Gabriella asleep?"The maids were taken aback. One of them hesitantly took his jacket before saying, "Mrs. Lund has moved out. She didn't come back—Velma brought a few people with her to move Mrs. Lund's things out. They were very polite, and Velma gave us all monetary gifts before leaving."She said it was to thank us for caring for Mrs. Lund, but it's not like she was here for that long. We refused to accept them, but Velma insisted."Her tone was solemn. It was clear she

    The winter sun shone down on the three of them. A chill spread through Gabriella's chest as she met Xavier's icy gaze. "Stop this nonsense, Xavier. I was just—"The shame of having an unrequited love and the pain of catching Gabriella and Brody red-handed turned into angry words that Xavier couldn't take back. He snarled, "You just couldn't control yourself, right? Are you that desperate to be with him, Gabriella?"Couldn't you have at least waited until after the divorce to move on with someone new? Waiting until nothing is tying us to each other before falling back into your ex's arms is the least respect you can give our marriage, don't you think?"The things he said—"couldn't control yourself", "desperate", "someone new"—were harsh and full of venom. Gabriella lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Is that what you think of me?"He sneered. "What else can I think? What were you two doing?"Brody wanted to explain, but Gabriella stopped him. "This has nothing to do with you. It's

    It was the wee hours of the night, and Xavier stood there, soaked from head to toe. He was sober now.The housekeeper had watched him grow up, so her heart ached when she saw him looking like that. She tried to persuade him to change before heading home. "At least change before heading home. Maybe it'll put Ms. Gabriella in a better mood."Xavier wasn't in the mood for that, though. He got into his car and took off his soaked jacket before telling the driver to get going. The latter knew something bad had happened, so he drove without daring to make a sound.Outside, the first light of dawn pressed down on the treetops, making the roads grow darker under their shadows. Occasionally, there would be rustling as small animals darted out in search of food.Xavier sat quietly in the backseat. He turned on his phone to check the news after charging it. He saw the images of him and Yvonne seated beside each other; he also saw the bright red lipstick stain on his shirt.The pictures point
