âWhy are you being so polite, Mrs. Murray?â Wilson flashed a charming smile, maintaining his respectful and courteous demeanorâthe kind of behavior elders most appreciated. âIâm glad you like it.â
Yara was even happier with the flattery and said with a hint of a smile, âYvie, since youâre with my sonâin- law Wilson now, why not invite him over to our place for dinner?â
âAlright, mom.â Yvette agreed obediently.
After ending the call, she couldnât help but look at the man beside her with a puzzled expression in her. When did you manage to get my mom to like you so much?â
Previously, Yara didnât like him at all, but now she even called him her sonâinâlaw.
Wilsonâs slender fingers brushed gently against Yvetteâs face and smiled lazily at her. âI just cleared up some misunderstandings your mother had about me,â he said in his deep, magnetic voice.
11 At the Murray Manor, as soon as Yara hung up the phone, Adam rushed over. âMom, when is Yvie coming back?â he asked anxiously.
He was eager to see his sister.
âWhy are you in such a hurry!â Seeing Adam so anxious, Yara couldnât help but smile wryly. âYvie said sheâd be home soon, so donât worry. Youâll see her in a bit!â
Adam couldnât help but smile upon hearing that.
To make a good impression on Yvette, he had changed his clothes and styled his hair. Worried that his facial injuries might scare her, he had covered them all with bandâaids.
âUgh, didnât you used to say that only a weakling would put bandâaids on his face?â
âYeah, exactly. Didnât you used to hate putting bandâaids on your face?â
Hearing the teasing from Ashton and Sean, Adam shot them an annoyed glance. âWhat do you know? Iâm worried that my injuries might scare Yvie!â
They all said that Yvette was sweet and delicate. What if she got frightened by his battered face?
When Adam thought of seeing Yvette soon, his stern expression softened slightly. âIâm warning you two- when Yvie arrives, keep your distance and donât try to steal her from me! You two have already spent a lot of time with her. Itâs my turn now!â
âNo way!â Ashton and Sean protested immediately. âAdam, Yvie isnât just your sister. Why canât we get close to her?â
Having Jacob trying to monopolize Yvie was already annoying enough; now, with Adam doing the same, theyâd have even less of a chance to be with her!
âYou donât like it?â Adam raised an eyebrow defiantly. âIf you want, we can settle this with a few rounds in the boxing ring. If you win, Iâll listen to you.â
Ashton and Sean fell silent instantly, not daring to say a word. Neither of them wanted to get beaten up.
Jacob exerted pressure through his status in the family, while Adam enforced it through physical strength. Seeing their reaction, Adam chuckled smugly, but then he received a call from his team member.
âCaptain, we just received news that the master of the underworld, Master Xev, has appeared at the underground boxing arena!â
âGot it,â Jacobâs expression became serious immediately. âIâll get there as fast as I can.â
