Chapter 304

Yvette slightly turned her head and then pulled out of her pocket a candy that was wrapped in colorful paper, looking incredibly pretty.

Yvette pointed at the candy and softly said to Andrew hiding behind Samantha, “This is for you.”

She had figured out that the unlucky guy who got beaten up after she went drunk last night was probably Andrew, whose face looked quite pitiful right now.

Andrew looked at the candy Yvette put on the table in astonishment and thought, ‘Isn’t it like comforting a child with candy after scolding him? I am a grown man, not a child. Besides, I wouldn’t take what she did last night as a big deal anyway!

Feeling touched, Andrew said, “Thank you, Yvette. You’re kind to me.”

Yvette had her hands in her pockets, her shirt sleeves casually rolled up a few inches, showing a bit of her pale wrist.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly yet her voice was flat. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just don’t know where to put it.”

Andrew was speechless and thought, ‘ Can I take back my words?

A hint of amusement appeared in Jeremiah’s eyes and he thought, ‘Yvette was trying to be nice to Andrew. She was just a bit awkward and didn’t want to admit it.’

Samantha also sensed Yvette’s good intentions and thought with a slight smile, ‘I am not wrong about Yvette, using candy to win over a man in his twenties. Brilliant! Does Jeremiah buy this too? Maybe I should try it sometime and treat Zion some candy.‘

When finished speaking, Yvette waved her hand and went upstairs.

Charles watched the scene with mixed emotions and thought, ‘Finally, Yvette is not cold and detached like before. I am happy for her.‘

Jeremiah watched Yvette go upstairs until she entered her room and then turned his gaze to Charles.

Jeremiah’s mind was filled with curiosity and he thought, ‘Charles has been acting strangely since we mentioned these two Ybaullan people. However, it seems like he cares more about Kaiden than Robin. Charles must know Kaiden well!

Since Samantha and Andrew were clueless, Jeremiah didn’t ask Charles directly about Kaiden, but instead, he questioned him with an emotionless face, “What do you think of Kaiden?”

Charles was silent for a few seconds, his eyes unreadable, glancing at Jeremiah.

He knew what Jeremiah meant.

Then Charles replied with a cold voice, “Kaiden is quite a schemer. He is an illegitimate child of Larry Harper. His mother was a famous dancer in Ybaulla and gave birth to him not long after she got involved with Larry Andrew listened in shock.

Samantha was a little stunned too and thought, ‘How come Charles knows all the details?‘

But Jeremiah wasn’t surprised.

He glanced at Charles with his eyes slightly narrowing, and said concisely in an icy voice, “Continue.”

Charles had no intention to hold back as he thought, ‘I believe the man Yvette chose. If Yvette is to marry Jeremiah, she wouldn’t sit by when anything happened to him. Now Yvette is on the side with Clusia, then why do I care about Ybaulla at all? Besides, I owe my life to Yvette.

Charles went on, “After Kaiden was born, Larry lost interest in the dancer and she slit her wrists in front of Kaiden when he was five. Later, Kaiden was sent to Mysonna, and was only brought back a few years ago.

Samantha didn’t expect Charles to know so much and asked, “How’s his fencing? He must be pretty good since Ybaulla sent him, right?”

Charles nodded with certainty and thought, ‘Of course he’s good at it. He learned his craft from the best teacher. His skills are truly a gift. If he hadn’t used those dishonest tricks back then, things might be different now!

“His style is unique, and he’s a tough opponent. You need to be careful; beating him won’t be easy,”

‘However, there is an easy way as to let Yvette handle him. But judging by Yvette’s earlier attitude, it’s clear she doesn’t want to take the role. What a pity,’ Charles thought.

Charles’s advice was completely genuine.

Jeremiah stood up, adjusted his uniform, gave a slight nod, and then walked away in his boots, leaving the other three in the dining room.

Samantha couldn’t stop thinking about how Zion would lose his mind since he had been calling her over a hundred times yet she didn’t answer even once.

The game of love has its limit. When one’s had enough, it’s time to stop. I need to finish things up now, Samantha thought and left too.

The once lively room was now just Andrew and Charles staring at each other.

In the end, they both sighed and thought bitterly, ‘How do they know the joy of being single?‘

**

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Aurora arrived at Skyland on time, wearing a long dress and high heels.

As soon as she entered, she saw Andrew in the yard with a man, enjoying coffee.

Unexpectedly, Aurora found herself seeing a beautiful vibe in this scene, but she shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind and walked in.

Seeing Aurora, Andrew eagerly ran over and gave her a warm hug.

“Mrs. Chavez, it’s been a while. You look so youthful! I think you almost outshine my sister.”

Hearing this, Aurora couldn’t help but laugh.

After all, Andrew was the child she had seen grow up and he did have a pleasant personality.

Aurora grinned with joy. “Oh, you cheeky boy. What nonsense are you talking about? How can I compare with your sister? You’re just trying to make me happy.”

Andrew said with an exaggerated tone, “Come on, Mrs. Chavez. You’re always as lovely as ever.”

Then he cheerfully introduced Aurora to Charles, “This is Mrs. Chavez, Mr. Chavez’s mother.”

Charles stood up politely and nodded.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Chavez. I’m Charles.“

Charles thought, ‘So this is Yyette’s future mother–in–law. It’s no wonder Andrew was so dramatic. With a face like hers, people might think she was thirty Aurora smiled at Charles, wondering who he was since she’d never seen him before.

Seeing this, Andrew immediately said, “Mrs. Chavez, this is Yvette’s apprentice learning to paint from her. He’s been staying in Skyland since he arrived in Betrico.”

Aurora took a closer look at Charles and thought, ‘Is he an art student? He seems to me more like a mafia.

Then Aurora asked Andrew, “Where’s Yvette? Is she inside? Maybe she’s napping?”

Andrew shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure. I’ll call her later on the house phone and let her know you’re here.”

Andrew felt strange too as Yvette had never shown herself since breakfast.

Hearing this, Aurora waved her hand and said, “Don’t bother. I have Yvette’s private number. I’ll call her myself.”

Just as Aurora was taking out her phone, she looked up and asked Andrew with a cunning smile, “I suppose you don’t have Yvette’s private number?”

Andrew stood still silently while Charles thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be faster to just knock on the door?‘
