Leaving You Bereft Chapter 654
When Xavier pushed open the door, Violet was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee.The door creaked slightly as it opened. She looked up and greeted him with a smile. "Xavier, Anna's coffee is amazing."Xavier, born and raised in a prominent family, could tell it was instant coffee immediately. He instinctively glanced toward the secretary's office, and through the floor-to-ceiling glass panel, Anna was focused on a presentation.He didn't expose her little white lie. Carrying his files, he took a seat in the leather chair. That's when he saw the agreement on the table. Then his gaze shifted to Violet, but her expression was as calm as ever, even faintly relaxed.A flicker of guilt rose in Xavier's chest. He was going to marry Violet, yet he physically rejected her. On top of that, he was going to shortchange her financially.Thankfully, Violet didn't seem to mind these things. When he started feeling guilty, he wanted to treat her better. Besides, she was going to become his futu

Under Xavier's insistence, Craig drafted the official document. Once Xavier had signed and sealed it, three identical copies were made. One of them now sat on his desk.In the evening, Xavier attended a product launch event, so he wasn't in the office. As it happened, Violet arrived and went straight into the office.Anna had stepped away to prepare a cup of coffee for Violet. This was Violet's first time visiting the company as the future Mrs. Lund, and naturally, she was feeling rather pleased with herself. She strolled around the office, inspecting everything, then settled herself onto the sofa to test its softness.When Anna returned with coffee, Violet deliberately nitpicked, saying that the coffee had one too many sugar cubes. Anna smiled politely. "Ms. Johnston, I only added one cube."Violet responded coldly, "If that's the case, then make it half a cube."Deep down, Anna despised Violet, but given her new status, she just kept quiet and went to make another cup of coffe

Before Xavier could speak, Jerome stepped forward and politely addressed Violet. "Ms. Johnston, is it? Xavier needs to come back with me today. There are some family matters I need to discuss with him, so I'm afraid he can't leave with you."Violet replied respectfully, "Mr. Lund, I—"Jerome raised a hand, cutting her off. "Whatever it is, you can talk another day. His mother is worried about him and asked me to bring him back.Violet blurted out, "Then I'll come along."Jerome smiled and replied, "This is a family matter. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."With just those few sentences, Jerome made his stance clear. Violet would not be welcomed into the Lund family.Violet's face went pale as she instinctively looked at Xavier, hoping he would take her side. But Xavier wasn't in the mood and couldn't be bothered.Late at night, Violet stood watching as Jerome and Xavier climbed into the car. Moments later, it slowly pulled away, headed toward the Lund residence.In that moment,

Xavier's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the black Jaguar. When Fred drove past Xavier's car, he shot a glance at Xavier but didn't stop the car.Xavier felt a wave of frustration and sadness. Fueled by alcohol, he picked up his phone and sent Gabriella a message on WhatsApp. "Gabriella, can't you just show some restraint?"Meanwhile, Gabriella was resting against the headboard, still feeling unwell. Moments ago, she'd experienced tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. Fred came over to check on her, prescribed her some medication, and only left after confirming it wasn't serious.That was when he bumped into Xavier on the way out. When she read the message, Landon caught a glimpse of it and snatched the phone from her.He was just about to fire back when Gabriella took her phone back with a soft voice. "He's not important. Just ignore him."She quickly deleted Xavier's message. Then, she blocked his number. She wanted nothing to do with him. She would raise Ash and

Violet was stunned. In seconds, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Xavier, and her voice trembled. "Even you think I'm tainted, don't you? Xavier, if you despise me, why are you marrying me?"Xavier was utterly exhausted. When a man was tired, his words would tend to be blunt and close to the truth. "Weren't you the one who wanted to be with me?"Tears welled up and eventually rolled down Violet's cheeks. She didn't bother to wipe them away, nor did he.After a while, she turned her head and stared out into the dark night. She said softly, "I know you can't forget her. You saw it today too, that she doesn't have to be with you. She has so many better options."I looked up that man today. He's the youngest department head at Lund Hospital, and he comes from a prestigious family of doctors. He's a great match for Gabriella. Most importantly, his history is clean and he doesn't have any messy exes."Xavier leaned back in the leather seat, his voice hoarse. "Do you have to say

Great in every way? Was she hinting at that?Xavier's expression darkened as he stepped forward. His voice was hoarse from trying to restrain himself. "You mean to say he's better than me in that aspect?"Gabriella didn't hesitate. "Yes. He's better than you."Xavier couldn't take it and blurted, "It's only been a few days, and you've slept with someone else? Gabriella, are you really that desperate? Do you not have standards?"A slap landed hard across Xavier's face, the sharp sound echoing in the hall.Gabriella sneered, "Desperate? Are you talking about yourself? The man who hid his relationship with Violet? Have you forgotten everything you did?"Or is it just that seeing me with someone else is suddenly unbearable to you? Let me remind you that we're divorced and long separated. Whoever I get together with and sleep with is my freedom. You've got yours, too."Xavier blurted out, "I don't want freedom."Gabriella chuckled coldly. "Is that so?"The way she looked at him was
