Chapter 70
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 70 âAre you really not going to join me for dinner?â
Yvette nodded in response. After all, she had promised Yara and Irwin that she would go back for dinner that evening Although she refused his dinner invitation, Wilson didnât persist. Instead, his gaze lingered on her with a gentle warmth, and he spoke in a gentlemanly manner. âMay I give you a ride home then, Yvie?
âIâm good.â Yvette shook her head, declining the offer. âIâve got some things I need to attend to.â
She had previously nude arrangements with Matt for unlimited access to Jubilile Universityâs laboratory. With this in mind, she intended to head to the lab to resume work on the Revival Potion, aiming to complete it as soon as possible.
âAlright then.â
Wilson was aware that she didnât like being tied down, so he didnât ask further questions. Instead, he simply reached out and gently ruffled her hair âIf you ever encounter problems you canât solve, donât hesitate to reach out to me. Iâll take care of everything for you.â
Yvetteâs eyelashes trembled ever so slightly. She had never heard anyone speak to her in such a way. She was also accustomed to tackling everything on her own.
When he witnessed such a scene, Samuel couldnât help but sigh inwardly again.
Someone who wasnât in the know would assume Wilson was raising her like a child. Not only did he look after her every whim, but he even wrote an apology essay on her behalf. If such a thing got out, no one would even believe it, After completing a practice match, Jasper and Sean stepped out for some fresh air and saw that the ostentatious black Maybach was still parked there.
Jasperâs face immediately fell. âWhy is my brother still here?
Sean nervously cleared his throat, then suggested, âWhy donât you go ask? Maybe Wilson has something to discuss with you?â
âIâm too scared. Why donât you go ask him instead?â
Seanâs expression was one of pure horror âNo way! Iâm scared, toolâ
After exchanging glances for a long time, they found strength in each otherâs company. With newfound courage, the two approached the Maybach together.
âHey, Wilson.â
After having just seen Yvette off, Wilson was already in a foul mood. When Jasper appeared out of nowhere, his expression became even more grim As a result, Jasper and Sean were scared out of their wits.
âWhat brings you here? Iâve been on my best behavior, and havenât caused any trouble recently.â
âI can vouch for him, Wilson, Jasper has been wellâbehaved recently, and hasnât caused any trouble!â
At that moment, Samuel, who was in the driverâs seat, almost burst out laughingâJasper was worrying needlessly. If no one had brought it up, Wilson wouldnât have even recalled his existence!
Moreover, Yvette was the only person capable of making Wilson leave work early to wait at the university entrance two hours ahead of schedule Wilsonâs indifferent gaze swept over them, causing them to abruptly stand at attention.
âIâm not here for you two.â
âWhew, thatâs a relief!â Sean exclaimed.
After that, he couldnât help but curiously ask, âIf youâre not here for us, then who are you here for?â
Why are you so interested in my affairs?â
As he said that, Wilson shot a cold glance at Sean, who instantly shook his head vehemently. Sá´aÊch Thá´ FɪndNøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âNot at alll Not in the slightest!â
âWeâre leaving.â Wilson didnât bother with them any longer and decisively ordered Samuel to drive âGot it, Mr. Quinn.â
After Wilsonâs departure, they both breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Sean couldnât help but utter, âI wonder if there will ever be a day when Wilson grovels at my feet. And when Iâm not the one tiptoeing around him, but him tiptoring around me? How wonderful would that be!â
As soon as he heard that, Jasper scoffed. âIn your dreams, buddy. Thatâll never happen!â
