Chapter 838

“Yes,” said Sean.

“I can’t ask you about me and Mr. Y’s relationship in the past then?”

“Yeah.” Sean nodded.

Caroline pursed her lips. “I get it.”

So, she couldn’t ask him why Mr. Y was willing to help her or about the woman Mr. Y loved.

Sean sighed inwardly when he saw Caroline lower her head in disappointment. The cruelest thing that could happen in the world was that two people who loved each other couldn’t be together.

He had experienced it himself, so he could empathize with her.

“Do you want to go? To where you were invited, I mean.’

“Can I?” Caroline answered him with a question.

Π Sean smiled. “Certainly. Since Ms. Weiss’ name doesn’t mean anything to you now, you can go and meet her.”

“I’ll go then.” She had nothing to do every day, anyway. If she had too much time on hand, she would start overthinking, which was far from what she wanted.

She checked the time written on the invitation. The 17th. It was tomorrow.

Sean said, “Alright then. I’ll have someone drive you there.” 1 “Okay.”

After that, they went back to their respective rooms. When Sean called Marietta, the phone was answered by none other than Yvonne.

Yvonne had been getting impatient. She had sent out the invitation so long ago and had yet to receive a reply. Today, she had finally gotten a reply from the Yates family.

Learning that Caroline was going to come over tomorrow, Yvonne couldn’t stop a sly smile from spreading on her lips. “Okay. I’ll get things ready.”

Sean didn’t know that the person on the other end of the line was Yvonne. Judging from the voice, he assumed that it was one of Marietta’s household staff, so he didn’t give it much thought.

Even after hanging up, Yvonne was so immersed in the joy of the news that she didn’t realize Marietta “Yvonne, what’s making you so happy?” asked Marietta. She had never seen Yvonne so happy since they had come here.

There was a spring in Yvonne’s steps as she walked to Marieta. “Caroline’s coming over tomorrow. I’ll have the cook prepare the food for tomorrow.”

Marietta was pleasantly surprised at the news. At first, she didn’t notice how exaggeratingly wide Yvonne’s smile was, and by the time she did, Yvonne had already gone into the kitchen.

The smile made Marietta feel uneasy somehow. She entered the kitchen and called out for Yvonne, who was in a discussion with the cook.

“Yvonne, come here for a bit,” said Marietta.

When Yvonne reached the door, Marietta closed the door to the kitchen.

“What’s wrong, Mom?” asked Yvonne, the glee in her voice clear as daylight.

Marietta’s uneasiness grew at that. “Nothing. I just wanted to ask you why you’re so happy that Caroline’s coming over.”

The smile on Yvonne’s face faltered at those words. Only then did she realize that her behavior had given.

away too much.
