Clayton paused for a second. “Alright then. I’ll send you there?”Nicole nodded and urged him.“Focus on ironing my clothes!”Clayton was speechless.No doubt, he was just a tool.......Yvette had not yet reacted to her identity after receiving her marriage license. Fiona had already prepared their new house. Her speed was unbelievable.Early in the morning, Yvette was watching the online gossip with great interest when her phone rang.It was Lance.Lance called her for the first time since they got married.Since their identities were different, they naturally could not be as casual as before.Yvette carefully picked up the call.“Hello?”Lance paused. “Are you home?”Yvette subconsciously answered, “What is it?”Lance was silent for a few seconds.“Our new house is ready. Should I take you there to have a look?”There was a full ten seconds of silence over the phone.Only then did Yvette react. Her mood of reading gossip was completely gone.Lance sighed. “Are you
Lance held Yvette’s hand and registered her fingerprints into the door.Yvette felt that her hand was a little hot, but withdrawing her hand like that would look pretentious.She looked at him. Lance’s side profile was very handsome, deep, and clear in the light. He always gave the impression of warmth on the surface, but the kind that was unreadable.After registering her fingerprints, Lance let go of Yvette. “Done. The next time you come over, you can just walk straight in.”Yvette hurriedly retracted her hand, nodded, and looked away.Lance smiled and led her in.“This house isn’t a new purchase. After we reserved it, we’d forgotten about it and never lived here before. My mother likes this area. She was looking at houses around here, and this was available. The decor is decent, so I just simply cleaned it up and took this place as our new house. You won’t mind, right?”Yvette hurriedly shook her head.“Nope.”How could she mind?This house was so expensive. She could not
Lance chose a very concise way that was not brutal, giving Yvette some room to adapt.Yvette had nothing to say.It was just that when she looked at Lance’s sincere eyes, her heart suddenly softened a little.Perhaps this was the advantage of mature men.Yvette thought that it was not too bad if Lance was her husband.She nodded, raised her eyebrows, and happily agreed.“Sure!”Yvette originally thought that they would just put on an act in front of their families and would each have their own affairs in private.However, Lance was obviously very serious about this relationship.If Yvette brought it up, Lance probably would not refuse, but Yvette felt that it would be insulting to him.Yvette could not mention it unless Lance brings it up first. She must stand on the moral high ground with him.Lance saw that Yvette agreed and looked more delighted.“Then we’ll make our relationship public during the wedding, but of course, you can always tell the people around you. Our mot
After a while, they went downstairs.Lance received a call from Fiona, who was probably checking whether he brought Yvette to the new house.He looked helpless as he glanced at Yvette and said, “Mom, we’re right here. Yes… Do you want to talk to her?”Lance handed over the phone. Yvette took it and suppressed some nervousness.“Aunt Fiona, this is Yvette.”“Yvette, do you like the style of that house? If you don’t like it, we can tear it down and rebuild it!”Yvette paused. “I like it very much, Auntie.”Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.“That’s good. Originally, that style was quite simple. These two days, I asked Lance to redesign and install some things so that it doesn’t look so empty. I’m glad you like it!”Yvette raised an eyebrow. She did not expect that Lance was the one who installed all this furniture that was to her liking.After saying a few words, Fiona hung up the phone.Yvette handed the phone over and inadvertently said, “Mr. Sheldon, can I ask you a question?
Lance did not say anything and started the car.“What do you want to eat?”They did not spend too much time together, but it was already noon since Yvette got up so late.Yvette pursed her lips. “I already have an appointment with Nicole for a facial. Let’s get a raincheck on lunch.”Lance asked, “Really?”As soon as Yvette heard this question, she became anxious. Did it sound like an excuse?Why would she make an excuse?As if to prove herself, Yvette immediately clicked on her message with Nicole and handed it to Lance.“See for yourself!”Lance laughed. “It’s a little early to be checking up on you.”Yvette retracted her hand. Her face turned even redder.Checking up on her?Right, only husband and wife would check up on each other.Her action was a little too eager.Yvette coldly snorted. Seeing that it was starting to get a little awkward, Lance hurriedly asked, “Where’s the place? I’ll send you there.”She did not dwell on it or refuse a free ride.After Yvette to
The temperature inside was a little high. The steam made the two ladies’ cheeks moist and slightly red. Yvette was redder than usual. The corners of her lips were curled up and never went down.“I have a secret. Do you want to hear it?”She leaned into Nicole.Nicole shook her head, looked down, and continued to read the magazine.“I don’t wanna know your secret.”Yvette went over and took her arm to attract her attention.“I already got my marriage license!”Nicole did not lift her head. The next second, Nicole stiffened and raised her head. Her eyes were shocked. “Are you kidding me?!”Yvette pursed her lips and shook her head.“Of course not! I received my marriage license yesterday. It’s still in my bag!”Nicole looked at Yvette with a complicated gaze. She was a little disappointed at Yvette and hesitated for a few seconds before she looked at her and spoke.“Yvette, don’t you think that you’re too impulsive? Didn’t you and Sean go your separate ways? Now that he’s said
Yvette told Nicole the whole story of what happened in the past two days. Her heart was in turmoil since she had kept these things to herself for so long that she could not digest them.However, if Yvette told others about it, someone with ulterior motives might spread rumors.After telling Nicole the story, Yvette looked at Nicole with a burning gaze. “That’s it!”Nicole nodded. “Your mother is right. Feelings can be cultivated, especially if you both have the intention to nurture them. It’ll be smooth sailing.”Although Yvette and Lance had no emotional ties with each other, this was considered a marriage alliance in a way.However, in Nicole’s opinion, choosing Lance was much better than choosing Sean.At least, the Sheldon family behind Lance was a lot simpler than the Moore family. Their family background would also not require Yvette to make any sacrifices.Yvette would not suffer if she married Lance and did not have to submit to humiliation.She could always stand proud
Nicole and Yvette steamed for a while. When the time came, they went out for a massage.Although Nicole was happy for Yvette from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to say something but was afraid that saying it would make Yvette unhappy.Sensing Nicole’s hesitance, Yvette rolled her eyes and said, “Just spit it out already. You look like a hesitant little tattletale.”Nicole laughed, then pondered for a moment before she asked the staff around them to leave.She came up to Yvette and lowered her voice. “Yvette, could the reason you chose Lance be because of Grant?”In a way, Lance and Grant were very similar.Their temperaments were extremely compatible.This was also the reason why Nicole was willing to support the Sheldon family in the first place and why Grant did not refuse.Yvette’s eyes flickered slightly. Her face changed slightly.Nicole immediately spoke. “Forget it. Forget I asked. There’s no point in asking this.”Nicole felt so stupid for picking at Yvette’s sca
