His heart skipped a beat, and he only pulled his hands back after a long while. There was a lonely look in his eyes. "Then, can we still be friends in the future?"

Jeremiah forced out a smile.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Then, Yvette walked away in the snow. Jeremiah stood still next to the car as he watched her leave him slowly. It felt like she was buried under the snow at that moment.
Meanwhile, Jackie thought it was weird that Jeremiah hadn't returned to the office yet. It was the first tthat she'd no idea where he was, so she couldn't resist calling him. "Where are you now, Mr. Jeremiah?" He'd already gotten back into his car. "I'm dealing with something outside, so I won't be going back to the office today." "But we have an appointment tonight-" "Cancel it." Jackie had taken care of Jeremiah for at least a decade. She could tell something was wrong from his tone. "Mr. Jeremiah, if there's something on your mind, please don't keep it to yourself. You can tellabout it, and I promise I won't tell anyone else."

Yvette returned to the house feeling complicated.
When she opened the door, she could smell a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. Xavier walked out of the dining room and asked, "Where were you?" "I went out for a walk," she lied.
Xavier didn't ask anything else about it. "It's tto eat." "Alright." As she approached the table, she noticed it was full of her favorite dishes.
Viola had been sitting there for a long time. "Let's eat now, Yvvy. He told Grace to prepare all of your favorite dishes." Of course, Viola was referring to Xavier.
Yvette nodded. "Sure." Then, they started enjoying the food at the table. Viola couldn't resist nagging, "I used to wonder when we could have a meal as a family.4 never thought my wish would actually ctrue now." When Yvette heard Viola referring to the three of them as a family, she was surprised to realize that the latter had really accepted Xavier.

After they were done with their meal, Yvette catted Kiki. As of late, Kiki had been telling her that Zachary had been doing great. She didn't know if he'd gotten into any trouble after that.
