Xavier's father, Luke Lane, was a womanizer. He was rarely home, despite being middle-aged now. Daphne nodded shyly. "Sure." Xavier was indifferent to their conversation. He ate a few bites and left the dining table.
"Xav, where are you going?" Shannon asked in confusion.
"Home." Shannon was stunned. She knew he was referring to Dewberry Manor. That was the place he had lived in ever since he had gotten married to Yvette. How could it be considered home? "Stay over tonight. Luke will be back tomorrow, and we can discuss your marriage with Daph together." A hint of coldness flashed across Xavier's eyes. "I'm not divorced yet, so what marriage are you talking about?" Shannon's heart sank.

Daphne was left alone outside. She could only call Kelly to pick her up.
As they passed by Golden Moon Restaurant, Daphne couldn't help but take a few more glances at the restaurant.
"Daph, what's wrong?" Kelly asked in confusion.
Thinking about the grievances she had suffered at Lane Mansion today, Daphne clenched her fists in frustration. "Release the news that I went to Lane Mansion with Xavier today." "Got it."
