Xavier instinctively denied it. "No."
Both Edith and Shane looked at him, curious about what he was about to say with his unfinished sentence. What
was he going to tell them?
"We've already found another place for the marital home. She's not angry."
Since childhood, Xavier always only shared good news, never his worries
When he first took over Nova Group a few years ago, the employees didn't respect him, and he was under great
pressure. However, he never shared any of his struggles with his family.
If he could handle work-related challenges, his personal matters were even less likely to cup.

Moreover, a lot could happen in a month. He was certain that Lily would have slund of follow-up plan. After
all the , she would probably decide not to go through with the divorce, which would cause his family to
worry for nothing.
"She's not angry?" Edith thought momentarily, recalling that something had felt off the last few times she had
seen Lily with Xavier.
She asked tentatively, "Are you sure she's really not angry, or is it that she just doesn't care about you
anymore?"
"It's true," Xavier replied, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
He had actually lied for a woman. Lily was truly his nemesis.
Edith stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to Shane. "Shane, | don't trust him. You call Lily, | want to hear
it from her."
"Mom, you know Xavier doesn't lie. He's very capable, and there's nothing he can't handle." Shane decided to

"Rest upstairs?" Edith grabbed her cane. "Go hand sleep with Lily!"
"That's right. Lily is alone at home. She'll be scared."
Shane stood up and draped a coat over Xavier's shoulders. "Be careful on the way back. Get the contract issue
sorted soon, or your mom will be worrying again..." Xavier, who had been forcibly sent out of the house, was
speechless.
Lly couldn't describe how she felt at this moment. Her emotions were mixed. She hadn't eaten lunch and was

She grabbed her phone, which had been set to silent, and saw countless missed calls and messages. Most of
them were from Hazel and Maryanne.
Perhaps because Terence had mentioned it, Maryanne had learned that Lily had divorced Xavier again. However,
her tone was far less excited or surprised this time. "Did you get the certificate?"
Lily replied, "No. I'll get the divorce certificate after a one-month cooling-off period. But during this month, it's no
different from being divorced." Maryanne sent a string of laughing emojis in response. "The biggest difference is
that it's still uncertain whether you two will actually divorce." She thought Lily's divorce was something of a
mystery. Mainly because, from the experience of her first divorce, it didn't seem like Xavier really wanted to
divorce.
Lily chose to remain silent. She would show Maryanne through her actions that this divorce was for real, She
closed the chat with Maryanne and opened the messages from Hazel.
"What's going on between you and Xavier now?"
"It's not easy to sell the house!"
