As Jacob looked at Nancyâs obedient and sweet demeanor, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his expression softened further. As expected, Yvetteâs friends were just as charming and lovely as she was Yvette raised her delicate brows lazily. She wondered why Nancy acted so cutely in front of her brother. It was different from how she usually behaved.
Suddenly, Yvette had a bold thought. Could it be that the person Nancy had liked for so many years was Jacob?
That night, Wilson stared at his phone, noticing that Yvette hadnât replied to his messages.
His gaze darkened, radiating a dangerous air. âWhat an ungrateful brat!â he thought.
âMr. Quinn, Ms. Yvette must be too busy to respond. Why donât you just give her a call?â Samuel, standing nearby, suggested.
âYouâre right.â Wilson nodded, his voice cold but steady. âYour salary will be doubled from now on.â
âThank you, Mr. Quinn!â Samuel replied happily before discreetly exiting the room.
The video call connected quickly, and Yvette appeared on the screen.
She looked like she had just stepped out of the shower. Her body was enveloped by rising steam, resembling a beautiful water lily that was captivating to behold.
âAre you at the hospital with Grandma?â Yvette recognized the hospital background and spoke softly.
âYeah.â Wilsonâs tone was gentle as he replied, âGrandma misses you.â
âIâll visit tomorrow,â Yvette said.
Wilsonâs deep, magnetic voice interjected, âYvie, I missed you too.â
Meeting his intense gaze made Yvetteâs heart skip a beat. She thought to herself that the charming man before her had somehow become even more alluring Yvette lowered the camera slightly to hide her flushed ears. But she forgot that she had just taken a shower and was only wearing a loose bathrobe, which hung loosely on her frame with a wide neckline.
Caught off guard, Wilsonâs eyes widened as he took in the sight, his gaze instantly darkening. He swallowed hard, feeling the heat rise in his body.
Wilson couldnât help but think that although Yvette looked slim, her figure was surprisingly good.
Wilson forced himself to close his eyes, trying to divert his attention. His usually cool voice turned hoarse as he asked, âAre you intentionally tormenting me?â
Realizing what she had done, Yvetteâs ears burned with embarrassment.
She quickly covered her chest with her hands and exclaimed, âYouâre not allowed to look!â
âOkay, I wonât. His deep, husky voice, coming through the screen, sounded even more seductive. It caused Yvetteâs ears to heat up further and her heart to race uncontrollably.
She quickly ended the video call in a panic.
Wilson looked at the disconnected call with a mix of helplessness and affection, letting out a soft laugh.
She just hung up on him like that. Wilson was entertained by the thought that she didnât care about him at all.
Taking a deep breath, Wilson forced himself to suppress the rising desire within him. But the image of what he had just seen kept replaying in his mind.
He loosened his tie. âUgh, another day I donât want to deal withâ¦â
