The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 132

Xavier tried to break free to look for Jonas. He had recently grown quite a lot, and I could barely control him.

"Xavier, stop it," I said harshly without realizing it. I was afraid that Xavier would affect Jonas' mood. What if he didn't want to talk to Lorraine anymore?

I felt Xavier slowly quiet down in my arms and sighed in relief. A few minutes later, I felt a wet patch on my shoulder. I looked to see tears streaming down Xavier's face as he bit his lip aggrievedly.

Was he upset? Why did he say nothing?

"Xavier, look at me." I tapped him on his forehead. It was really hard to handle two boys, especially when Xavier was not living with me.

I knew that my occasional actions would make it seem like I didn't care about him.

"No. You only like Jonas. Why did you bring me back? Mommy was right. You don't like me at all." Xavier looked away. He would never look at me no matter how I tried.

Lorraine brought Jonas over and saw Xavier lying on my shoulder.

"What happened, Xavier?"

She was carrying Jonas, and I could not help but think how much we looked like a couple at that moment.

"I'm fine." Xavier frantically wiped away his tears. I looked at him pretending to be fine and didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his pride.

Lorraine didn't press on further and gently patted Jonas before saying to me, "Let's take them to the amusement park. Jonas said that he hasn't been there in a long time."

I immediately agreed to it. In any case, I was initially planning on taking the two of them out.

"I'll get Murphy to book the tickets."

Xavier, who had been burrowed in my arms, suddenly sat up. "I don't want to go with you. I want to go with Mommy."

Although Xavier liked Jared a lot, he still hoped that I would reconcile with Yvonne.

I saw Jonas' eyes brighten as well. He seemed even more excited at that thought. Though he said nothing, I could feel it.
