Instantly, Yvonne felt like she couldnât swallow anymore.
She put her chopsticks down and cupped her chin with both hands. âDo you know her?â
A frown appeared on her face, and impatience flashed in her eyes.
Upon calming down a little later, Yvonne realized that she was wrong too, and she sighed.
âI see⦠I wonât disturb you for the time being. Weâll talk about it when youâre done.â
Hayden took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. âI do know herâ¦â
âHer husband is my former companion in the orphanage,â he added after pausing.
She was stunned for a moment. â...she is married?â
He nodded.
Instantly, her face flushed. âIâm sorry....â
He smiled and caressed her head. âItâs fine. Youâve always been like this. Iâm used to it.â
She was originally a spoiled child, and he always indulged her after marriage.
âWhat are you saying....â
Yvonne lowered her head. âYouâre making me sound unreasonable.â
He stuffed a piece of lettuce inside her mouth. âNo one could be more reasonable than you.â
She looked at him and couldnât help but smile.
This time it was sincere.
They looked at each other, and all the conflicts were resolved.
She gobbled down the food happily like she had no worries. Although it wasnât that delicious, she couldnât help but feel much better.
Haydenâs phone buzzed.
He opened it and saw that Weston had sent him an email.
At first, he was confused as to why Weston sent him surveillance footage, but after taking a good look, his eyes turned as hard as a stone.
The more he watched, the worse his face turned out.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yvonne noticed something was wrong with him and looked up straight into his eyes.
The doctor put his phone in front of her. âWhere did you go last night?â
Yvonne had completely forgotten.
Stella didnât know if it was the early wedding date that made her feel that a lot of time had gone by.
The wedding date was getting ever closer.
Mr. Ford originally had different opinions about her, but since it was done, he could only accept her reluctantly.
Stella, however, knew all too well that this all pointed to the calm before the storm.
They knew that Mr. Ford would do something before the wedding came.
The only thing that made her uneasy now was that Roger still couldnât be contacted.
Perhaps it was because summer was close.
Cicadas were chirping outside the window.
The noise was weak and distant.
During this time, she was resting in the apartment.
The reason was that Weston took her to do various physical examinations but did not tell her what they were and occasionally asked her to drink some medicines, which were said to be good for her body.
This made Stella feel very anxious.
