NovelEnglishChapter 179 Shannon thought Xavier didn't want anyone to know about Noah's mother. She figured that was the reason he hadn't told anyone when he had brought Noah back.

He could no longer sit still, and he went through his phone's gallery. He had three photos in a hidden album.
The first one was a photo of Yvette's examination report when she had gotten pregnant in the past. Then, there was Noah's photo. As for the final photo, there was the back of a young woman in it. He looked closely at Noah's photo and wondered if he was truly Claude's son.
Xavier didn't fully believe it, but he didn't dare to get someone to check. If the results proved that he had nothing to do with Noah, all his hopes would be dashed.
With that thought in mind, he decided he would rather not look into it, and he turned his phone off. Meanwhile, Shannon was overjoyed. "No matter what, I need to know where the child is right now!" She looked at the call that had ended and told Mandy to look into it. She had to find Noah, no matter how much it would cost her.

Shannon was a proud woman, and there was no way she would admit that her genes were the problem. She wouldn't tell Xavier about her troubles as well.
When Yvette returned from the hospital, the lights in the living room were still on. She entered the house and saw Xavier sitting on the couch, reading a book under the soft light.
He didn't even lift his head when he noticed that she had returned. Although he continued flipping through his book, his mind was elsewhere.
Yvette slowly approached him. "I'm back. I saw the flowers outside. They're pretty." She had seen them that morning, but she was only mentioning it at that moment to please him at the right time. Xavier closed the book in his hands and lifted his head slightly. Then, he turned his dashing face toward her and looked at her. "Sure." His voice sounded alluring, but his eyes hid complicated emotions. Yvette sensed something was 1/2 off with him, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Xavier wouldn't usually have supper, but she just wanted to give it a try and grab any opportunity she could.
