Chapter 1146
Xyla exchanged gazes with Maisie and smiled. “Maybe it’s just fate.”
Maisie supported her chin in one hand. Noles and I were still concerned that Yorrick was going to be a bachelor for
the rest of his lite some time ago. I really didn’t expect this.”
Nolan scoffed. “After all, he’s a middle-aged man who’s about to turn 37 years old this year, so there’s not much
time left.”
Yorrick glared at him. “You’re only three years younger than me.” “Okay, just how old do the both of you think you
are now? And yet, you’re still quarreling with each other as if you’re still kids. Zee and Xyla are still here, so can you
two not embarrass yourselves when they’re around?” Madam Hathaway might seem to be reprimanding those two
men, but she had a wide grin on her face throughout the whole time.
Xyla and Maisie both tried their best to hold back their laughter.
“Xyla.” Madam Hathaway looked at her and picked up her wine glass from the table. “I would like to apologize for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat Yorrick’s mother did to you before this.” Xyla was stunned for a moment. She then got up and grabbed her
wine glass in a hurry. “Madam Hathaway, I actually-”
“His mother. Yuna, is the daughter-in-law of the Hathaways, so I’m apologizing to you on behalf of her as well as the
Hathaways.” Mrs. Hathaway interrupted her. “His mother has always been the one who’s at fault, and I’m
apologizing to you and Sharon,” Xyla squeezed the foot of the glass tightly and glanced at Yorrick, who was silent as
if something was going through his mind.
Yuna loves her son too much, and she’s too selfish. She’s always been afraid that her son will leave her. That’s why
she had been trying to get her child to live the lifestyle she wanted him to have so that he would turn into someone
she likes him to be.” Mrs. Hathaway sighed. “What happened to Sharon is a debt that the Hathaways can never pay
back to her family. However, the tragedy back then has already created an irreversible outcome, and you’re lucky
enough to escape the same fate this time around. So, no matter what, I must apologize to you.”
Since Madam Hathaway had finished her wine in one go, it was only natural for Xyla to finish all her wine too.
Maisie and Nolan looked at each other and smiled.
This might be the best and the luckiest outcome.
Later that night…
While they were on their way back after dinner, Xyla leaned on the back of the seat and was on the verge of falling
asleep. And because of the alcohol that she had consumed before that, she could not even lift her eyelids.
Yorick took her into his arms, and she rested her head on his shoulders. Her soft, long hair wrapped around his
arms gently like silk
“Are you drunk?” Yorrick pecked her forehead softly, and she telt itchy as his warm breath brushed over her skin.
She nodded, stretched out her arms, and wrapped them around his waist. “Yeah, I’ve drunk a little too much.”
“Oh really?” Yorick stared down at her blushing cheeks and could not help but give off a smile through the corners
of his lips. He then inserted his hand through the bottom hem of her blouse,
Xyla trembled instantly, sat up straight and pressed her body against his arm. Yorick Hathaway!”
He chuckled softly, “Didn’t you say that you’re drunk?”
Xyla ignored him and leaned back down again. She asked after a while. “You still can’t let the memory that you had
with Sharon 90. can you?”
Yorrick rested his chin on the top of her head and smiled. “Are you jealous of her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe muttered, “No.”
“Sharon is someone of my past already.* Yorrick stroked the dark hair that was hanging on the side of her body.
pressed his palm against her cheek, and forced her to look up at him. “But you’re my present, and of course, my
future.”
Xyla suddenly thought of what he had said back then-something about her being his second woman and even his
last.
She smiled and kissed his lips. “You can always miss her from time to time, but I must be the only woman that
you’re allowed to think of in the future.”
Yorrick laughed and rubbed her lips with the tip of his thumb. “I’ll only think of you in the future as soon as you
become the official Mrs. Hathaway.”
The dark night sky outside the window looked like the background of a dream because of the embellishment of the
neon lights, and the beauty was almost ethereal.
Xyla cuddled in his arms as she stared at the scenery that went by the car window in a snap of a finger and
changed in a matter of a split second as if she was bidding her past self goodbye.
It turned out that being in a relationship was not a one-sided thing. It would only work when both parties in the
relationship had the same idea in mind. Thus, even if she had only taken one step toward the other end of the
spectrum, the other party would happily take all the remaining steps just to get closer to her.
