Anything For Her

Chapter 761 You Have The IQ Of A Child

In the past, Charmaine would be affected by Yale's cruel words, but at present, she no longer cared.

“Ha, Yale! You're so pathetic.” Charmaine scoffed disdainfully.

“You're right. That's who I am. I hope you've not forgotten that you're the one who begged me to marry you back then. But now, you despise me. I wonder if you were blind when you first wanted to marry me.”

Seeing how nonsensical Charmaine had gotten, Yale ignored her and spoke to the butler instead.

“Morgan, we're not short of money, so get whatever is needed for Christmas. Give me a call when Ms. Sophie arrives. I'll come over immediately.”

Refusing to stick around and deal with Charmaine's temper, Yale left instantly, leaving the woman on the couch.

Charmaine sat there and fumed. He's right! I must be blind last time to fall for a man like him!

“Calm down, Mrs. Tanner. Every man would love their woman to talk to them tenderly. If you keep this up, you'll only end up pushing him further away.” Women in today's society were not at all concerned about a man's age and would readily open their legs for any man as long as they were wealthy enough.

“Hmph. I've lost him to someone else a long time ago. Anyway, just go and buy whatever you deem fit.”

With that said, Charmaine went upstairs, not at all interested in continuing the conversation.

Behind her, the butler shook his head helplessly.

The Tanner family fell apart ever since Josiah passed away. The place no longer felt like home.

Soon, Ysabelle's concert was held on time. There were more than ten costumes used for her stage performance—all branded and expensive.

It went without saying that Felix funded her outfits, and it was undeniable that he indulged her like a father would his own daughter.

At night, everyone gathered at the stadium to have dinner with Ysabelle.

As per Felix's arrangement, all the food for the crew was catered and delivered by The Crown, which meant the dishes tasted splendid.

Due to Felix's wealth and generosity, he was like the crew's lucky star, so the crew members greeted him warmly upon seeing him.

They knew their lives would only change for the better as long as Ysabelle was dating Felix.

The man opened a box of pasta for Ysabelle and proceeded to unwrap a single-use fork for her.

“You should eat more. These are all your favorite foods.” He had specially requested that The Crown prepare those dishes for her, but Ysabelle shook her head.

“I can't eat anymore. One of the dresses is a little tight on me. I'm afraid it won't fit anymore if I keep eating.”

Ysabelle would never admit that she had gained weight, so she insisted that the dress was the wrong size.

Frowning, Felix answered, “It's not your problem. You're so slim. You should eat all you want. I'll get someone to send another dress later.”

It's just a dress. How can she refuse to eat just because of a dress?

“Do you really think so?”

Did I gain weight? My size has always been S. Why does it feel tight on me?

Felix quickly shook his head.

“I'm absolutely sure it has nothing to do with you. It's the dress,” Felix assured her.

As Ysabelle took the food from Felix, her assistant wanted to remind her that she had indeed gained some weight lately, but as soon as the assistant met Felix's gaze, she kept her mouth shut.

I should just let this slide. After all, Ysabelle's a singer. It doesn't matter if she puts on weight. It's her voice that matters. She's talented, anyway.

Sophie, who saw everything unfold from the side, chuckled at the sight.

Well, she did gain weight, but it's okay. She is cuter now. Besides, her face is still as pretty as always.

“Sophie! You're here! Look at me. Do you think I gained weight?” Ysabelle was still bothered. I've been busy practicing lately. How could I gain weight?

“No, you didn't. I think you look just fine.” Everyone was lenient toward Ysabelle—including TS Entertainment's boss herself. Sophie did not see anything wrong with Ysabelle gaining weight.

“See? Even Sophie agrees with me. Do you believe me now?” Felix had finally found an ally. Knowing how tired Ysabelle was, he figured there was no way her body could take it if she did not eat properly.

“All right then. The food looks delicious.”

After getting confirmation from everyone, Ysabelle stopped doubting herself and dug in.

By the time The Wheelers arrived, she had already finished a whole box of pasta. When Sunny saw this, he commented, “Ysabelle! Have you forgotten that you're a singer? You should stop eating! You must have put on about five and a half pounds!”

Clueless as he was, Sunny failed to comprehend Felix's warning glare.

Ysabelle instantly regretted eating and stood up before turning in a circle before everybody.

“Five and a half pounds?” She was on the verge of crying because that amount was equivalent to a huge slab of meat.

I can't accept the fact that an extra five-and-a-half pounds of flesh has grown on me!

“You lied to me, Sophie...”

Sophie shook her head, denying, “I didn't!”

Ysabelle turned to look at her assistant. “Bring me a weighing scale.”

The assistant was stumped, for there was no way she could find a weighing scale in the middle of a stadium.

Seeing this, Sophie went over and patted Ysabelle's cheeks.
