Just as Xavier was about to say something, Yvette stopped him. "If they don't mind redecorating the place, we should just let them do it. After all, it'll be nice to change it up a little for the new year. Please thank Madam Shannon for me, Luther." When Luther heard that, he frowned. "Sure." Noah quietly enjoyed the pierogies with a cold gaze. Yara had just been locked up, and Shannon was here to torture Yvette next. This time, there was no way he would watch from the sidelines while Yvette got bullied.

"Mom, didn't you say you still needed to prepare for Christmas? I can go by myself, and I'll be back in no time. It'll be fine!" He spoke tactfully.
"In that case, can Mr. Septer tag along?" After Noah had snuck into Lane Mansion behind Yvette's back, she didn't dare to let him go out by himself anymore.
He said with a sigh, "Mom, it's almost Christmas. You should just give him a day off." At first, Yvette had been planning to let Ray head hfor srest. However, he said he didn't need it since his family had passed away.
"I'll accompany you," said Xavier. Noah wanted to reject the offer, but Xavier didn't give him the chance at all. Instead, he just picked up the boy and left the house.

"Why do you like being a busybody so much? Letgo now. I still have things to do!" Then, Xavier slapped him on the butt. Noah started crying immediately. "How dare you hit me? As expected of a stepfather! I want my actual father-" Before he could finish his words, Xavier covered his mouth. "You're too noisy." Xavier thought it was fortunate that Noah wasn't his son. Otherwise, he figured it would be too annoying.
After he covered Noah's mouth, the latter couldn't get out of his grip anymore. So, all Noah could do was glare at him. But it was meaningless since Xavier was blind.
"Speak now. What are you up to this time?" Xavier dropped Noah at the door, and the latter had stopped crying.
Instead, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Are you just going to watch as your mom bullies my mom? I know you like my mom. In that case, she's the lady of the house. Since my mom never agreed to anything, why would you let other people move the things in the house?" Noah spoke with so much confidence that Xavier was slightly surprised by how much sense he was making. In hindsight, Xavier thought Noah hadn't peed on him by accident back then.
"Then, what do you want to do about it?" he asked.
When Noah heard that, he said, "I'm going to teach your mom a lesson, of course! Am I supposed to let her continue bullying my mom?"
