Semua Bab Leaving You Bereft: Bab 641 - Bab 650

Violet's eyes turned red. "Ms. Harper, that's not what I meant."Xavier frowned. "Gabriella, was that really necessary?"Gabriella lowered her gaze. After a few seconds of silence, she said softly. "You're right. It wasn't necessary."She let it go and turned to leave. But before she could walk away, he grabbed her wrist. Xavier had been drinking, so he wasn't entirely sober. Still, his instincts told him that if he let this encounter pass, he might never see her again.She wouldn't see him, nor would she let the children see him. She was truly ruthless.Xavier broke free from Violet and took advantage of being drunk to speak straight from his heart. "Gabriella, you just look down on Violet. If she were like Yvonne, would you even care this much?"You just played it cool, went abroad to give birth to the children, but you still ended up with me. Just because of Violet's background and her past, you can't accept that I'm with someone like her. Deep down, you're arrogant and carry

Xavier sat on the sofa, looking at Violet, who was smiling sweetly at him. "Why did you post that on Facebook?"The smile faded from Violet's face. She quietly placed the plate in front of Xavier and answered softly, "It's because I like you, and I care about you. I want to be with you.""Did I ask any of that?" he roared, knocking over the milk and the toast, causing a total mess on the floor.Xavier let out a low roar, completely losing his composure for the first time.Breathing heavily, he glared at Violet. "I remember making it clear that after the documentary premiere, I'll send you to Valois and you'll never come back."Violet's eyes turned red. "Are you mad? You still love her, don't you? Xavier, she doesn't want you anymore. Do you think you two can go back to how it was? Then what's the point of me going to Valois?"Xavier could feel all the strength drained from his body. Violet was right. Whether she would go to Valois or not didn't matter. Gabriella would never want

After saying that, Xavier felt an indescribable sadness. He couldn't articulate the feeling, and his heart felt empty, as if something had been hollowed out of him. The treasures within were taken away, never to be retrieved.Violet, on the other hand, was overjoyed. Despite being weak, she threw herself into his arms, brimming with delight. "Xavier, are you serious? Are you really willing to accept me?"Xavier's fingers trembled. He could barely utter a word. Lowering her head, he looked at the delicate woman before him. He had once loved her deeply, but now, seeing her only exhausted him.But still, she looked overjoyed, as if she had just been given the entire world.A soft warmth passed through Xavier's chest as he nodded gently.Violet hugged him tightly, resting in his arms as she murmured her dreams for the future. "Xavier, let's get married in the fall, shall we? When winter comes, we can go skiing in Valois. And next year, we'll have an adorable baby."If it's a boy, he'

Xavier stood frozen for a moment. Violet knew exactly what was running through his mind. She called out to him in a seductive tone, "Xavier, do you think it looks good? This gown is a limited edition, with only two existing in the entire country. I had this one specially shipped in."Xavier looked at her with mixed emotions. The gown itself was stunning, but Violet was just over 5'3''. Even with heels, she couldn't pull off the floor-length design. Instead of elegance, it only made her appear shorter and made her proportions unflattering.Coupled with the overwhelming set of emerald jewelry that weighed heavily around her neck, it made her look clumsy. Xavier could help but think that if Gabriella were the one wearing this dress, she would look stunning.Her waist alone would make the silhouette appear sleek and graceful. She'd carry herself with elegance and certainly wouldn't have paired the dress with such jewelry.But Xavier wasn't the type to spoil the mood. He chose to keep s

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
