Nicole casually nodded. Anyway, Nicole and Yvette were about the same size. When they used to sleep over at each other’s houses after a long night of having fun, they would often wear each other’s clothes. Thus, it was their norm.Yvette hurriedly got dressed and took away one of Nicole’s new bags on her way out.Nicole laughed when she saw this and sent Yvette to the door.“Call me if you need help!”“Got it!”As they were talking, another elevator stopped on Nicole’s floor. Clayton looked at the scene with deep eyes.“Ms. Quimbey just left?”Nicole nodded her head.Clayton breathed a sigh of relief and looked very happy as he walked out of the elevator with big strides.“Great! This third wheel is finally gone…”Before Nicole could react, Clayton’s big hands wrapped around Nicole’s waist. He pulled Nicole toward him and kissed her passionately.The two of them were immersed in this kiss and were reluctant to part from each other.Clayton did not dare to be intimate with N
As a result, after a few seconds, Mrs. Quimbey only stared at her daughter quietly with a sunken face and did not make a sound.Yvette could not stand the silence and said, “Just go ahead and scold me if you want to! I’m ready for it!”She felt uncomfortable if her mother did not scold her.Mrs. Quimbey stared at her daughter who was spoiled and capricious. Yvette had been in all kinds of trouble, but no matter how much she was disciplined, she just could not learn to control her temper.“I remember that you said those bold words here in this office three months ago, telling me that you must be with that man even if you never get married or get a title…”Mrs. Quimbey’s tone was sullen and cold. She watched as Yvette’s expression stiffened and crumbled a little.She felt a little heartbroken.After all, Yvette was her daughter.“Mom, can you not mention this?”Yvette looked at her mother. Her face was expressionless when she spoke, but her eyes unconsciously reddened.Mrs. Qui
Yvette froze for a moment and was a little shocked.Seeing Yvette approaching, the middle-aged woman smiled fondly, stood up, and took Yvette’s hand.“This must be Yvette, right? She’s so pretty and looks exactly like you back then!”The woman took Yvette’s hand affectionately and sized Yvette up. Her eyes were filled with fondness.Yvette was dumbfounded. Lance, who looked mature and steady at the side, stood up with a rather helpless look.“Mom, don’t scare Ms. Quimbey…”After Lance reminded his mother, the woman hurriedly let go of Yvette’s hand and apologized. “Sorry, did I scare you?”Yvette hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no. Hello, Auntie.”Hearing Lance’s words, Yvette knew that this woman was his mother.Yvette had not heard of her before, let alone seen her.Back when Mrs. Quimbey matchmade Lance and Yvette, Yvette had never met Lance’s family.Yvette thought Lance did not want to continue the marriage and was only superficially agreeing to it.However, she never
Lance was also a little stunned.When their eyes met, Yvette’s face blushed as she felt somewhat embarrassed. She then attempted to give her mother a look to stop her from talking.It was so embarrassing that Yvette wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into.Yvette had not officially broken up with Sean Moore yet.Moreover, it would be even more embarrassing if Yvette was rejected on such an occasion.Yvette’s mother simply ignored Yvette’s hints.Across the table, Fiona smiled and patted Lance, who was next to her.“If you like him, then take him! He doesn’t have a girlfriend anyway, and I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to find a girlfriend with his character. Let’s just let them be together!”Mrs. Quimbey raised her glass, and Fiona could not wait to clink glasses with her.“Then it’s a deal! Yvette will be my daughter-in-law!”Mrs. Quimbey said, “No problem!”The other two people were wide-eyed as they stared at each other.They could not interject a word
Yvette refused to let go of gossip.“What happened? Did Aunt Fiona break you two up?”Lance’s eyes looked amused when he heard Yvette’s words.“My mother used the old-fashioned way. My ex took a sum of money and left.”Yvette snorted and shook her head. “Tsk tsk… It is quite vulgar. If she stayed with you, she would’ve had all your money. If I were her, I’d never leave so easily!”She could only say that Lance’s ex-girlfriend was too shallow.Lance raised his eyebrows and lifted his eyelids to look at Yvette like he was extremely interested in her.“Will you persist?”“Of course! One has to cast a long line to catch a big fish!”Lance’s smile deepened. “Ms. Quimbey, you sure have great foresight…”Yvette paused and felt a little embarrassed that she just used herself as a comparison.She immediately changed the subject.“But why aren’t you sad? Why didn’t you resist or quarrel with Aunt Fiona?”Lance looked at her with calm eyes as he smiled and shook his head.“Those are
This amount was indeed worth it.That was because if that woman did not leave, the Sheldon family’s monthly allowance would at most not exceed seven figures, which was the standard amount for ordinary wives of the gentry.According to Fiona’s character, perhaps she would not give that woman a penny after their marriage.Instead of being looked down on, it was certainly better to leave with $500 million.No wonder Lance’s ex was willing to give up the pot of gold that was Lance. This amount was certainly very tempting!Lance looked at Yvette’s look that was envious for a moment and lamenting the next.It was truly amusing.Yvette felt that if it were her and Sean Moore, Sean’s mother would not have sent her off with $500 million.She was frustrated when she compared her situation with Lance’s ex.Lance suddenly remembered something. “By the way, you and Mr. Moore…”Yvette paused for a moment and looked away.“It’s over.”Lance nodded indifferently.“No wonder. I told my mot
Yvette was really puzzled by Lance’s determination to send her home.She could only attribute it to the fact that Lance did not dare to disobey Aunt Fiona’s orders.Yvette secretly thought that Lance was surely a mama’s boy.On the way home, she felt very apprehensive because she was not going back to Nicole’s place, but her own apartment.Yvette was worried that she would see someone that she did not want to see there.As expected, when Lance parked the car downstairs, there was also a familiar car parked not far away across the street.No one knew how long the person in the car had been waiting for. He seemed to become one with the darkness.Yvette’s pupils shrank when she saw that car.Lance sensed Yvette’s change in mood and looked over in the direction of her gaze.Someone came down from the car opposite them.It was Sean Moore.Sean stared at them with a cold gaze, and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.Lance paused and coughed.“I thought it’s over?”He sp
Sean’s lips were pressed into a straight line. His breath was icy, and his voice was extremely deep. “Yvette, even if you want to throw a tantrum, you should know your limits.”Sean lowered his voice and stared at her with a gloomy gaze.“Some things have already happened and can’t be undone, so why do you want to dwell on the past? I’ve done everything I can for you, so why can’t you be a little more understanding?”Yvette sneered. Her smile was extremely scornful.“You’ve done all that you can? You say that as if I forced you to get a divorce. Sean, am I not considerate enough? When people called me a mistress, I didn’t say a word. When your mother and your ex-wife came to my door and called me a slut, I didn’t retaliate. Am I not understanding enough?”Sean’s face was sullen and cold. He frowned slightly and wanted to speak.Yvette let out a laugh. Her voice was cold.“Forget about being considerate of you. Now, I even have to be considerate of your ex-sister-in-law! What giv
