Chapter 48
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 48 âDamn it, get out of my way!â Jake demanded.
Wilsonâs cold, piercing gaze landed on Jake, who was bristling. So, this was the young man Collin mentioned?
Young, yes, but he was clearly just a kid. There was no way Yvette would go for someone like him.
âLet him through,â Wilson said.
The blackâclad bodyguards immediately released their hold on jake, allowing him to approach Wilson.
For some reason, meeting Wilsonâs gaze made Jake inexplicably apprehensive. Though he was intimidated, protecting Yvette outweighed his fear.
âLet go of my boss...â Jake insisted. However, his confidence wavered instantly when he saw Yvette tightly embracing Wilson.
He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, âCould you step aside? I need to take my boss back!â
Wilsonâs expression remained unchanged, but his commanding presence made Jake instinctively fearful.
âThat depends on who Yvie wants to go with.â
âUgo âOf course, my boss will come with me!â Jake declared with confidence. âJust because sheâs hugging you doesnât mean sheâll go with you!â
âIs that so?â Wilsonâs frigid demeanor sent shivers down Jakeâs spine.
After suppressing his fear, Jake leaned closer to Yvette. âBoss, are you coming with me or him?â
Confident in their bond, Jake couldnât believe Yvette would choose another man over him.
âLetâs go, boss. Iâll take you homeâ Before he could finish his sentence, Yvette pushed him away and said, âYouâre so annoying.

Yvette didnât bother hiding her disdain for Jake. However, her arms remained tightly wrapped around Wilsonâs waist, leaving no doubt about her choice.
Jake felt like a dagger had pierced his heart. He spoke with a pained expression, âBoss, given our relationship, youâre choosing him? What does he have that I donât?â
Yvette, irritated by his whining, silenced him with a single sentence. âHeâs better looking than you.â
Jake was speechless. Though he hated to admit it, it was the truth.
Wilson chuckled softly. He asked, âDo you Eke my face?â
âKind ofâ Yvette pursed her lips, hertone proud when adding, âNot particularlyâ
âIn that case, Iâll have to try harder.â Wilsonâs smile deepened. His low, magnetic voice teased in her ear. âHow about spending the night at my place tonight?â
Without hesitation, Yvette nodded in agreement. âOkay.â She didnât want to go back to Murray Manor tonight.
Initially, Wilson had only been teasing Yvette, but her quick agreement surprised him. A hint of resignation flashed in his deep eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of indulgence.
âNo more agreeing to stay with other men in the future, okay?â
Yvette blinked innocently. Mischief glinted in her beautiful eyes as she deliberately said, âGeezer, youâre so naggy!â
Yvette was deliberately provoking him again! Out of resignation, Wilson extended his hand to her.
His voice was lazy but with a hint of flirtation âAlright, this geezer wonât nag anymore. Come with me.â
After hesitating, Yvette placed her hand in his, letting him lead her away. As they disappeared into the distance, Jake still couldnât believe what had just happened.
What just happened? Had Yvette really lett him behind like that?
