Secretary’s Secret Lover By Zayla Quinn Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Is It Really That Difficult to Choose?

Yvette’s voice was very soft. It was obvious that she was lacking confidence.

She had never taken the initiative to kiss him before. Her arms that were stuck to his side were so tense that they were stiff.

Lance looked at her indifferently. “So what? Why does it matter?”

Yvette had already abandoned her pride and taken the most difficult step. Looking at his exceptionally cold expression, she felt a little panicked and wanted to leave.

But when she thought of how determined he was when he saved her, she suppressed the urge.

her, she suppressed the urge.

She didn’t wince back but looked at him directly. “If you really don’t want to see me, I won’t disturb you again.”

Her petal-like lips were right in front of Lance’s eyes, seeming to carry a sweet fragrance.

Lance was expressionless, but his fingers tightened, and his blood became hotter.

Even though it was just a light touch and Yvette didn’t have much experience, he still couldn’t keep cool. He wanted to directly press Yvette down.

The tip of Lance’s tongue touched the back of his molars.

When he thought of the scene that night, he was frustrated again. He said coldly, “What about your boyfriend?”

Yvette was stunned by his question. She didn’t know who this boyfriend was referring to for a moment.

After thinking for a while, she finally knew who Lance was talking about. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the man’s face full of ridicule.

“Or do you want to be a two-timer?”

Yvette found it difficult to breathe, and her heart felt like it had been fiercely pinched.

So that was how he thought of her?

Like a deflated balloon, Yvette was deeply upset. Her subconsciousness was suddenly awakened.

It wasn’t easy for her to summon up the courage. Now she had lost confidence completely.

A conversation wasn’t enough to ease their relationship.

Yvette now especially regretted her behavior just now, and her heart sank to the bottom.

She lowered her eyes and slowly stood up. “I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

After she finished speaking, she wished that she could hide and escape in a second.

When she turned around, her wrist was grabbed. Lance held her hand tightly and stared straight at her. “Is it really that difficult to choose?”

He was really mad at her!

He just wanted her to say she loved him. Was it really that difficult for her?

He didn’t care if she was lying to him. But his woman was not. even willing to lie to him.

His hand clenched tighter and tighter. Yvette was in so much pain that tears came out. She frowned and said, “He and I are just…”

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Lance’s mother Tanya came in, followed by a young woman. with curly long hair. The young lady was dressed in an elegant. dress. She was beautiful and had a slender figure.

At first, Tanya did not pay attention to Yvette and cheerfully said, “Lance, look who came back!”

When Tanya saw that Yvette was beside the bed, her eyes showed complicated emotions. Tanya forced a smile and said politely, “Hi, Yvette. Are you coming to see Lance?”

Yvette had already retracted her hand in time and said politely, “Yes,”

The two were polite and distant, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, a beautiful female voice came around, “You are Lance’s ex-wife?”

Yvette was stunned. Not many people knew her identity.

The woman walked over and introduced herself, “Hello, my name is Juliette Beckford.”

name is Juliette Beckford.”

“Hello.”

Juliette pointed at the man on the bed and smiled gracefully, “Lance and I grew up together.”

Yvette’s expression dimmed. She rarely interacted with Lance’s friends. Naturally, she did not know of Juliette.

Juliette looked at Yvette and praised her. “Lance is really lucky.

I didn’t expect his ex-wife to be so beautiful.”

“You too,” Yvette replied awkwardly.

Indeed, Juliette was very beautiful and elegant. It looked like she was born into a rich family, unlike Yazmin, who was always pretentious.

Juliette stretched out her hand and said, “I’m very happy to see you.”

Yvette stared at her wrist and her face turned pale as if she had been struck by lightning.

The jade bracelet that Juliette was wearing was the one that.

Yvette had given to Tanya.

Yvette looked at the jade bracelet with a complicated look in her eyes and only shook hands with Juliette lightly.

Then Yvette said goodbye to Tanya, “Mrs. Wolseley, I won’t. take more of your time. I have to go now.”

She called Tanya Mrs. Wolseley. She didn’t call Tanya’s first name, which already showed Yvette’s attitude.

Tanya did not say anything and just nodded.

Just as Yvette raised her foot, she heard Lance coldly shout from behind, “Don’t go.”

Yvette stopped in her tracks for a moment but still left.

Lance instantly flipped over the bed. He got up in such a hurry.

that he pulled on his wound. He was in so much pain that he lost his strength.

Tanya felt sorry for her son and quickly stopped him. She gave Juliette a look and said, “Juliette, you stay here with Lance. I will walk Yvette out.”

Lance was stopped. His lips were pale. “Tell her that I haven’t finished speaking.”

Tanya’s expression changed and she nodded in response.

Outside, Tanya chased after Yvette and called her, “Yvette, can we talk?”

Yvette stopped and did not refuse.

“I know everything about Emilie,” Tanya said.

Tanya looked serious. She heard that Emilie died very miserably. Although she also did not like Emilie, Emilie was a living person she once knew of. Moreover, Rosa also came to fight with Tanya. Rosa said that if Lance had not made things difficult for Emilie for Yvette’s sake, Emilie would not have ended up like this.

Emilie was greatly transformed.

Even though Tanya did not like Rosa, she did not want Emilie to die.

Tanya deliberated and said, “Juliette was a playmate that Lance grew up with when he was a child. The two of them were intimate when they were young. Later, Juliette went abroad.

Now she has come back. Our family backgrounds are similar, so we intend to let them marry.”

Tanya emphasized the words “family background” and deliberately conveyed an underlined message.

“Mrs. Wolseley, what do you want to say?” Yvette said directly.

Tanya said, “Yvette, this time, Lance got injured again because of you. The board of directors is already dissatisfied with him entering the hospital twice a month.”

She stopped and sighed, “Don’t blame me. I said it very clearly last time. I hope you don’t see each other anymore. Don’t force me to do anything bad. I don’t want to be a bad person either.”

The last sentence had a hint of threat.

Yvette’s face was pale. She slowly clenched her hands by her side. She didn’t even feel anything when her nails were embedded in her palms.

It was really funny.

Not long ago, Tanya had held Yvette’s hand and said that she saw Yvette as her own daughter.

Now, Tanya was threatening Yvette.

It turned out that Tanya’s love was like a dandelion, which would easily disperse with a gentle blow.

Yvette could understand that Tanya cared about her son, but now Yvette could not understand Tanya at all.

Could it be that all of this was Yvette’s own fault?

Why would Emilie want Yvette to die? Wasn’t it because of Yazmin?

And wasn’t Yazmin’s intention the result of her love for Lance?

Yvette was clearly a victim as well.

“Mrs. Wolseley, don’t worry. I will keep my word. As long as he doesn’t bother me, I will never take the initiative to pester him,” Yvette said calmly.

Yvette would never have the courage she had just now.

It was enough to lose face just once.

However, this was not what Tanya wanted to hear. She still had some understanding of her own son. He seemed careless, but in fact, he was an emotional man.

Tanya said, “Actually, I think you are still young. If you go abroad to further your studies, you will have a brighter future. You can consider it. If you are willing. I will pay for you.”

Yvette did not expect that Tanya was already so wary of her that she was not even willing to let Yvette stay in the country.
