Chapter 168

The soldiers glanced at each other, thinking Emmett was just being humble.

Emmett saw the looks on their faces and knew they didn’t believe him. He was about to explain further when Jeremiah and Yvette walked over side by side. “Mr. Chavez, they greeted.

Jeremiah nodded, his usually stern features softening a bit.

Emmett, Bruce, Chris, and Frankie were all trained by him personally, so their presence here was no surprise.

“Good job. Jeremiah said.

The three exchanged glances and thought, Jeremiah is indeed a double standard. He treats Yvette differently just now. Where is his caring attitude?”

Frankie put on a pitiful face. “Mr. Chavez, where are we going? Ms. Zeller said she’d hunt hares for us today.”

Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed, and his gaze deepened. He wondered, Why does Frankie suddenly call Yvette Ms. Zeller?

Jeremiah tilted his head, walking towards the cave entrance while asking Frankie in a low voice, “Who is Ms. Zeller and why?”

Frankie casually blurted out, “Yvette, she is my mentor.”

Jeremiah paused, staring at Frankie, who was animatedly telling the soldiers about their journey. “Very well,” Jeremiah said.

Emmett and the others behind felt that Jeremiah’s “Very well” might not be so good for Frankie.

Yvette, with one hand in her pocket, strolled leisurely. Seeing Jeremiah’s glance, she raised an eyebrow. “It’s my first time being someone’s mentor. But I accept it.”

Jeremiah chuckled and thought, ‘She is young but she won their respect.

Inside the cave, sitting next to the fire, Yvette closed her eyes and lazily leaned against the wall.

Her hand casually rested on her leg, revealing her delicate wrists, Jeremiah cut a piece of wild boar meat and handed it to her.

Yvette raised her chin, with arrogance, the coldness in her eyes dissipating a bit when facing Jeremiah. “I don’t want to eat.”

Hearing this, Jeremiah didn’t get angry. He smiled, his voice gent and patient. “Be good girl, eat a little. It’s cold at night, the wild boar meat will keep you warm and has the effect of keeping out the cold.”

Yvette raised her eyebrows slightly, and she stared at Jeremiah with clear and pure eyes, making him feel his heart skip a beat.

of concealed at all.

The mischievousness in her eyes was not Jeremiah tilted his head, his tone somewhat helpless, but his voice was incredibly gentle. “Really don’t want to eat?”

Yvette shook her head without hesitation. “Don’t want to eat.”

Emmett, Chris, Bruce, and Frankie led the soldiers to sit the other side of the cave.

It was just a cave, how far could they really be?

Every word of their conversation reached the ears of Emmett and the soldiers Jeremiah brought, who were sitting a short distance away, roasting wild boar meat.

Bruce and Chris were witnessing the interaction between Jeremiah and Yvette for the first time.

They had been in shock since the beginning.

Bruce held the wild boar meat in his hand and had no appetite for food.

Chris took a bite of the wild boar meat. The love was in the air, He thought, The person coaxing Yvette in a soft voice. couldn’t be Jeremiah, definitely not our wise and ruthless Jeremiah.’

Emmett turned to look at Bruce and Chris, their expressions were the same as his when he first saw Jeremiah fawning over Yvette...

He thought, Fair enough, now I felt balanced.”

The other soldiers, being in a superior-subordinate relationship with Jeremiah, didn’t dare to say anything, no matter how shocked they were inside.

It turned out that Jeremiah wasn’t averse to women: he was just averse to women other than Yvette.

Seeing that Yvette really didn’t want to eat, Jeremiah was about to put down the wild boar meat in his hand.

However, he glanced at Frankie on the opposite side, who was staring at them with a look of disgust. Jeremiah seemed to think of something and crooked his finger at Frankie.

Frankie was gnawing on the wild boar meat. The display of affection between Jeremiah and Yvette was too sweet to watch.

Frankie saw Jeremiah crooking his finger at him, hesitated for a moment, but walked over obediently, although he didn’t know the reason.

Emmett, Bruce, Chris, and the others also noticed Jeremiah’s action, looking confused.

They thought, At this moment, why does Jeremiah call Frankie over?”

Frankie walked up to the two of them and politely said, “Ms. Zeller, Mr. Chavez.”

Jeremiah’s eyes deepened inadvertently, his look meaningful. It seemed quite a few interesting things had happened in the days he was away.

He knew how proud Frankie and the other three men were, each one of them a prominent figure.

He wondered, ‘Why are they all so obedient in front of Yvette?

He had noticed right away that even Bruce, who usually disliked women the most, showed genuine respect for Yvette, and that couldn’t be faked.

Frankie scratched the back of his head. “Ms. Zeller, Mr. Chavez, how can I help you?”

Yvette sat up a bit straighter, her eyebrows slightly raised, her voice cool and clear. “Not me.”

Frankie then looked at Jeremiah, asking cautiously, “Mr. Chavez, what do you want?”

Jeremiah smiled, a smile and tenderness on his face that Frankie had never seen before. Jeremiah placed the wild boar meat in a lotus leaf and handed it to Frankie.

Frankie stiffly took the lotus leaf, and looked at the wild boar meat on it, his eyes Jy vacant Chapter 168 After a while, Frankie turned to look at Emmett, Bruce, Chris, and the others, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he let out a loud cry. “Help! Mr. Chavez wants to poison mer Frankie’s outburst startled everyone, and they all stopped eating the wild boar meat to look at him.

Yvette lowered her eyes, slowly reached out, and tugged at Jerentiah, her voice very serious. “I have poison, it won’t hurt too much, do you need it?”

Jeremiah looked down and saw the mischief in her eyes, knowing she was teasing Frankie.

So he played along, nodding solemnly with a serious voice. “Yeah, alright.”

Frankie felt a chill down his spine. He thought, “Why are these two discussing poisoning me so openly, is there no law?

Yvette thought, I am the law!’

Emmett, Bruce, and Chris came over, looking at Frankie, and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

Bruce sat down next to Jeremiah, knowing that Jeremiah didn’t like people too close, so he automatically kept a distance.

He wasn’t like Yvette, who had the privilege to get close to Jeremiah. Yvette and Jeremiah were almost clinging together. “Mr.”

two should stop scaring Frankie.” Chavez, and Ms. Zeller, you Emmett and Chris also sat by the fire, with Frankie following suit Frankie looked at Jeremiah, who seemed to be smiling but wasnt, and then at the wild boar theat in his hand. Frankie thought, Jeremiah’s sudden concern scared me. Could it be that Jeremiah, after falling in love, became a real human? He asked, “Mr.

Chavez, you specifically called me over just to give me wild boar meat?”

Jeremiah nodded lightly as if it was nothing.

He didn’t even glance at Frankie, who was curious, and Emmett Bruce, and Chris, who were gossiping.

He only stared at Yvette, his eyes were gentle, and he slowly said in a low voice, “If I want to be your mentor’s husband, 1 have to be nice to you.”

Jeremiah’s words made Frankie stunned.

Emmett, Bruce, and Chris exchanged glances, and they couldn’t help but laugh at Frankie’s dazed expression.

They thought, Jeremiah was indeed brilliant, killing two birds with one stone.”

Yvette raised her head, her delicate face full of charm, and lazily yawned. She was sleepy.
