Chapter 583

Penulis: Light Breeze
As soon as Greg arrived at The Bloom Room, Xavier scolded him. "If you hadn't bailed on me back then, would I have gotten tangled up with Yvonne? If she hadn't clung to me, would Gabriella and I have broken up?"

Greg was displeased. "My car broke down. How's that my fault? When Yvonne threw herself at you, you could've pushed her away. Besides, I never told you to go home and divorce your wife.

"Think about it. She just cleaned up your mess, and you filed for divorce right after. If I were Gabriella, I wouldn't have swallowed that either. She's a Ziegler and not someone who will put up with you.

"Didn't you see the pretty boys all flocking to her at the afterparty? They're just trying to get her attention and sneak in a business card. She's still very popular."

Xavier was annoyed. "You think she likes boy toys?"

Greg smirked mischievously. "Hard to say. I feel like her type is someone like Brody Allen. Look at how well she treats Fabian. Look at your muscular physique and chiseled

  • Leaving You Bereft   Chapter 586

    Gabriella asked, "What, are you a very important person?"Xavier was momentarily speechless. But when he looked at the vibrant face and defiant look in her eyes, his heart stirred again. It was just like the first time he saw her. He was both stunned and secretly annoyed.Brody, however, was quite graceful. In three years, he'd transformed from an artsy youth into a seasoned businessman. Much more polished now, he handed Xavier the menu. "Mr. Lund, if you don't mind, join us."In truth, he could tell Xavier was jealous and that he clearly still had feelings for Gabriella. Brody didn't understand why they divorced so easily.Perhaps, Xavier didn't even know about the children. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way.Next to him, Natasha called out sweetly, "Nice to meet you."No matter how jealous or annoyed Xavier felt, he wouldn't take it out on a child, especially one without a mother. He reached out and gently ruffled Natasha's hair. Suddenly, he felt envious of Brody.Al

    Xavier's children? Brody was surprised, but after a moment of thought, he realized it made sense. Gabriella wasn't someone who'd remarry that quickly. She must have been pregnant when they got divorced.Brody fell silent. Sharon glanced up at him and said, "You're single now. It's not too late to make a move. Look at you, you're different now. You're a match for her. I've finally understood that she's a good girl. It was my prejudice that kept you two apart back then.""Mom, please don't bring up the past."Brody didn't want to revisit it. That was a pain that only deepened with time. Sharon looked at him and wanted to say something, but she ultimately didn't.Three days later, Gabriella finished work in the evening. Since the holidays were approaching, she wanted to pick up mince pies from a particular shop that her mother loved. Her grandfather used to buy them every year, but now, she and Landon took turns. Whoever had time would get them.She rode the private elevator down. As

    Gabriella turned around and saw Sharon. She froze for a moment before smiling faintly. It was all in the past. She turned back and continued speaking with Willow.Sharon was dumbfounded, her mind racing with a myriad of thoughts. Beside her, Natasha whispered, "Grandma, that lady is so pretty."Sharon's emotions grew even more complicated. Natasha scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and mumbled to herself, "She's prettier than Mommy, and even prettier than Daddy's secretary."Sharon remembered she'd seen Gabriella many years ago. Back then, she was only in her 20s. Her beauty and prestigious background had made Sharon hesitant. Adding in Jolene's dissuasions that there was no future between Brody and Gabriella, Sharon thought it was better to break them up than have her son ridiculed.On the other side, Willow had also noticed Sharon. She just offered a faint smile.Half an hour later, Gabriella and her group left the dessert shop and got into the car, ready to head home.As the

    Xavier's gaze flickered. He had much to say, but the words got stuck in his throat. They had only been married for a month, but they'd been apart for two and a half years. They still felt familiar, but the intimacy once so easily spoken now felt unfitting.In the end, he could only offer a polite exchange. "Yes, it's been a while."After a short pause, he continued, "How have you been these past two years?"Gabriella gave a faint smile. "Pretty good. And you?"Xavier didn't answer because he didn't know how. Truthfully, these two years hadn't been great, but could he really tell her that? Probably not. He thought she wouldn't be interested in knowing.Time had worn away their closeness. Now, they were more like strangers. They weren't close enough to talk about things, nor bitter enough for resentment. It was just peaceful.Xavier didn't push it. After the impulse wore off, he cooled down. It had been two years, so she might have had someone new in her life. Perhaps she'd already

    Gabriella never returned. Her personal number was no longer in use. It was as if she'd vanished from Xavier's world completely.At first, Rebecca still brought her up from time to time, but when it became clear that there was no hope of them getting back together, she started setting Xavier up on blind dates. He'd met a few of them here and there, but none ever caught his interest. And so, his youth slipped quietly by.On the other hand, Fabian would occasionally visit the Lunds, helping Rebecca in the kitchen and keeping her company. After starring in Whisper in the Wind, to everyone's surprise, he withdrew from the entertainment industry and returned to Quenstor University to continue his studies.His decision earned Starlight Media much praise online, calling it a rare gem in the local entertainment scene. But Fabian knew the truth was that it was all because of Gabriella's affection for him.More than two years later, Whisper in the Wind received an award nomination. That year,
