Yvette stood there, trembling all over.Before she could fully say goodbye to her past, Sean stabbed a knife into her.Yvette thought that the breakup was an external factor between them, like his ex-wife and his family. His sister-in-law was the trigger this time.It turned out to be none of those.The wind in the darkness turned into sharp swords that cut through her defenses with a slash.Yvette would probably never forget this night when she was humiliated by the man she loved.The man she thought was her true love regarded her as such.Lance and Sean’s strengths were uncompromising as they fought with each other. Their fists landed on each other’s faces and bodies without holding back.Sean’s ruthlessness was trained since childhood from being in real fights. His moves were brutal and aggressive.Lance had been learning martial arts since he was a child. His moves were standard, but he was not at the slightest disadvantage compared to Sean.Yvette stood there and took a
Lance blinked and looked at her with deep eyes, wanting to say something.Yvette patted his shoulder. “It won’t matter if you help me this time, right? Don’t worry, no one will know!”None of them would say anything.Lance’s words were swallowed back. What else could he say?“Ms. Quimbey, if you don’t mind, why would a man like me mind?”He sat there and smiled frankly.His eyelashes were lowered, which cast a faint shadow on his face. He looked silent and reticent.There was something seductive about him.Yvette froze for a moment and smiled. “But why did you suddenly make a move just now?”She felt that at that moment, Lance was incredibly cool and handsome, so much so that she had the urge to marry him immediately.However, in retrospect, Lance was not such an impulsive person.Lance paused and shrugged. “You were about to cry, so how can I still sit in the car? Since he bullied you, it’s only right to retaliate!”In his impression, Yvette was not someone who would willi
Lance did not look back and went into the master bathroom. It was more luxurious and extravagant than the guest bathroom. Even the bathtub was twice as big.He swept a glance and saw Yvette’s underwear hanging on the wall.Lance quickly withdrew his eyes and concentrated on the faucet.It was indeed loose.He turned to look at Yvette on the side. “Do you have tools at home?”Yvette froze for a moment. “Yeah.”She ran to the utility room and took out a toolbox. It was never used since the label on it was still intact.The toolbox was quite complete, it was just not much use to her.Lance reached out and took it, but he accidentally touched her chest.He felt such a soft sensation it was the softest thing in the world. At that moment, his fingertips trembled, and he hurriedly retracted his hand.Yvette also froze.She stood there dumbfounded, unable to ignore that scene just now.Both their faces were flushed red.Lance lowered his head and took the tools to check out the fa
Mrs. Quimbey muttered, “This is too hasty, isn’t it? Yvette is still young.”Fiona was determined and did not leave any room for discussion.“No worries, she’ll mature soon enough. I treat her like she’s my daughter. We’ll get their marriage license in two days. I’ll show them the house this afternoon, I’ll buy them a new house, so you can’t take this opportunity from me!”Fiona was very satisfied. She was elated to get a daughter-in-law that was to her liking.“When the child is born, I’ll personally raise the child!”......The two people in the bathroom still did not know what was going on.Coincidentally, the water stopped gushing out from the faucet, so their position seemed pointless now.Yvette slowly tilted her head to look at Lance.She said, “What should we do?”It seemed like she should not have asked Lance to stay, then this scene could have been avoided.Lance pursed his lips and looked flustered.It was just a loose faucet.How did he unscrew the pipe?Was i
Since the matter was urgent, Lance thought it was better to get dressed first.Yvette got dressed and came out. Her face was flushed red, and she dared not look at the people in front of her.She had never encountered such a speechless moment in her life.Moreover, the people in front of her were her elders.Fiona and Mrs. Quimbey were in the kitchen preparing breakfast enthusiastically.They already looked like a family.Mrs. Quimbey was not good at cooking, so she was just helping Fiona out. From time to time, she would see the movement in the bedroom.The two children still did not come out.The moment Yvette came out, she attracted their attention.Fiona’s attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.“Yvette, you must be tired! Here, have some oatmeal. I haven’t cooked in a long time, but it should be edible.”Yvette was a little overwhelmed by this enthusiasm.Could it be that Lance did not make it clear to them?“Auntie, I…”“You don’t need to say anything. It’s nor
Going to the bathroom was just an excuse for Yvette to leave.Faced with Fiona’s sincere concern, Yvette curled her lips and said, “I’m fine. I just caught a little cold in the morning.”Lance, who was next to Fiona, looked a little helpless. He really did not expect things to develop to this point.He thought that Yvette had sneaked away since she was not a submissive person, but why did she come back?Fiona took their number and urged them.“Hurry, it’s our turn!”Lance and Yvette were pushed to the front.The staff did not even look up, nor did they ask them if their marriage was voluntary and issued the certificate.Everything went incredibly smoothly.The two of them looked at each other in disbelief when they got their marriage license.They were legally married just like that.Fiona was so happy that she could not hide her smile. She held Mrs. Quimbey’s hand and said, “The wedding is scheduled for next month! Don't worry, it’ll be very grand! I won’t let Yvette suffer
Mrs. Quimbey’s words were like a hammer that hit Yvette’s chest heavily.The pain was suffocating.Indeed.Even if Yvette did not want to believe it before, she fully expected this now.Sean who was in love with her would not say the kind of hurtful words last night, but after their passion faded, he would.If the Moore family was involved in Mrs. Quimbey’s company, then Yvette would probably not get anything.Sean could step on his ex-wife to climb up the social ladder, so he could also do the same to Yvette.Love was just a momentary flutter of emotions. After the flutter passed, what else could she expect?Yvette suddenly felt cold all over.She was trembling and numb.In the past, Yvette treated her mother like she was an enemy because her mother was a workaholic and looked down on all of Yvette’s hobbies.However, the path she chose for Yvette seemed to be the best one to take.“You don’t have to worry about the matter between you and Sean being brought up as criticism
Keith rubbed his hands. He really did not want to meet Nicole here.However, he was bound to meet the person that he did not want to see.Nicole and Clayton’s interaction revealed an intimacy that could not be hidden.The general public was shocked to see it, let alone Eric.This was like a knife to his heart.Eric sat there, immersed in the darkness. His breathing was tense as he desperately tried to stifle his emotions.Keith sensed Eric’s mood and reminded him in a whisper, “Let’s go to the other side for a drink?”The private section of this club had a restaurant, lounge, and bar.It was impossible for Eric to leave because of his pride.Thus, it was enough to change their seat to somewhere that they could not see Nicole and Clayton so that they would not feel so bothered.Before they could change their seats, Nicole and Clayton stood up and were ready to leave.Keith was relieved.As soon as they left, Eric’s stern face could no longer be concealed. He looked extremely
