After She She Stopped Loving Him

Yolanda was left breathless from the kiss, lightly pounding Charles’s shoulder. “You’re suffocating me,” she complained.

Charles pulled back and hugged her tightly again. “Let’s go home?” he asked.

Yolanda’s mind was spinning. She could tell Charles was in a good mood, which meant the Andrade family probably won the bid for the land tonight—and ended up being the sucker who got played.

Once the truth about the land came out, Cedric would lose any shot at becoming CEO of the Andrade Group, and Quentin would most likely rise to the top.

Yolanda wasn’t thrilled about that, considering Quentin was Joelle’s lapdog.

Out of the corner of her eye, Yolanda caught a glimpse of someone’s shirt darting past the corner. Her heart skipped a beat. ‘Crap, the puppy saw everything,‘ she thought.

Sure, Charles was her husband, but Ian had never witnessed them getting so close before.

Yolanda felt a surge of panic and shoved Charles away, faking dizziness.

“Charles, I need to have a word with Megan. Go wait for me in the car,” Yolanda said.

“You’re not drunk, are you?” Charles asked.

“Nope, I’m totally fine. Megan’s just really hyped up tonight. You know how her husband is… I’m honestly happy for her. She got tipsy so fast, I need to go see how she’s holding up,” Yolanda replied.

Charles reached out and gave her cheek a gentle pinch. Her eyes were shimmering with emotion, making it impossible for him to resist her.

“How long do I have to wait? Don’t forget, your husband’s time is worth a fortune,” Charles teased.

“Half an hour tops,” Yolanda replied.

With that, she strode off toward the elevator, disappearing around the corner.

Charles let out a soft laugh. ‘She’s seriously getting more vibrant and full of life every single day,‘ he couldn’t help but think.

Yolanda headed straight for the farthest corner, and sure enough, she spotted lan out by the little courtyard.

He was sitting all by himself in a hanging chair, looking so lonely it made her heart ache.

Her chest tightened. She hurried over and called out, “lan.”

Ian answered in a low voice, not turning around. “Mm?”
