Chapter 229

760276

When Jeremy got home that evening and heard that Yvonne had brought home a little boy earlier that day, his whole world collapsed.

He always thought he’d done a good job raising her–so how had this mysterious boy managed to sneak into the pictures

The moment he stepped out of the car, he didn’t even grab his phone. He charged straight into the Holmes family estate like a man on a mission.

At this point, walking into the Holmes house felt just like walking into his own. He didn’t even knock.

Dinner hadn’t started yet. Aside from Kelvin, who wasn’t back yet, the entire family was already gathered. Everyone was doting on Yvonne, who was snuggled in Tinley’s arms like a little bundle of joy.

The room was warm and glowing with soft light. Yvonne’s cheeks were pink and plush, her tiny body tucked in Tinley’s embrace like a living plush toy.

Jeremy had barely stepped through the door when he spotted her. To him, she looked like a floating pink cloud–soft, warm, and heartbreakingly adorable.

“What’s going on?” he asked as he stepped closer, trying to squeeze his way into the group.

That was life in the Holmes family now: if you came back late, you didn’t even get a chance to touch a strand of Yvonne’s hair.

Fortunately, Jeremy was tall. Even from the outside, he could still see everything.

“Why’s her face so red? Does she have a fever?” Jeremy asked.

Yvonne spotted him immediately. Her little head popped up, and the cowlick on top of her head bounced right along with it. She beamed at him, eyes curving into happy crescents. “Jeremy!”

‘What a good girl,‘ Jeremy thought, feeling his heart melt.

But before he could soak up that sweetness, she added with the most innocent tone, “A boy with white hair winked at me today! He was really, really handsome!”

She cupped her cheeks, still curled in her mother’s arms, looking like a baby version of a girl smitten with her celebrity crush.

Jeremy was speechless.

There was a terrible crashing sound in his ears–the sound of his own heart shattering into exactly 49 pieces, scattered irreparably across the floor.

He took a deep breath and stared into Yvonne’s sparkling eyes, his stern face softening in spite of himself.
