However, she was in good spirits. Even when she didn't feel like eating, she would force herself to eat as much as she could.
She never mentioned Xavier's name when Claude was around
-not even once.
Perhaps she knew she might succumb to the pain if she brought him up. She didn't want to subject Claude to negative emotions because of her, either. When Yvette was alone, she would stare at Xavier's WhatsApp profile picture. She wondered how she should bring up the topic of divorce with him again.

Yvette hadn't expected to run into Daphne there.
The two of them found a quiet café and sat down by the window. Large raindrops peppered the window and slid down soundlessly.
Daphne took off her mask and revealed her exquisite face. " Don't worry. I heard from Tris that Terrence took money

"Madam Shannon specifically told me that no amount of money is an issue as long as you agree to the divorce. We'll just consider it charity." "Charity, huh?" Yvette scoffed internally.
She thought back to when Shannon had arranged for her to marry Xavier.
Back then, Shannon had kept emphasizing that only

In the middle of the night, Yvette was woken up by a phone call.
