Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 283 Yvonne Adores Conrad

After a few long pauses, Zac finally acquiesced. “Fine. I will let her go this time because you asked me to. However, there will not be a next time. You can’t interfere again, Conrad.”

“Of course.”

Lifting his wrist to look at the time, Conrad then said, “It’s not even eight yet. Let me treat you to some sushi as thanks.”

“Sure,” Chris swiftly agreed.

“We’ll leave you two to catch up, Uncle Conrad.” Veronica picked up her bags and dragged the untied Yvonne away. Before anyone could say a word, the two women were already dashing away.

They both ran for a long time before they stopped as if they were afraid Zac would change his mind.

“Huff. Huff.”

Yvonne panted loudly, exhausted by the sprint.

Meanwhile, Veronica glared at her and smacked her on the head. “Girl, is your lust stronger than our friendship? You would rather push me out to die than to let the two of them argue?!”

Love is so stupid.

Veronica did not know what else she could say about the situation.

“Ouch! That hurt.” Yvonne pouted as her hands moved to cover the spot where she was hit. “Don’t be angry. I know Zac well. He would never lay a hand on a woman, but he would also never hold back against a guy. I like Conrad, so I tried to protect him.”

Veronica felt so disgusted that she did not know how to explain the anger in her.

“Fine. I won’t be saving you again.” She huffed and walked away.

“Don’t worry. I will not be asking you for help anyway. Everyone has their limits. Although Zac would not lay a hand on a woman, I’m afraid he would start playing tricks on you.”

Yvonne walked with Veronica by her side. Subsequently, the former pulled her jacket tighter around herself and continued, “Would you have ignored me if I had not saved you last time?”

“Of course.”

Veronica pulled her bag higher. “I am not a saint. How can I risk death to save you when I am already in a tough position? It’s impossible.”

“Oh, I just love how straightforward you are,” Yvonne replied with a laugh. “Let us get sushi as well. Wait, no. Why don’t we get some BBQ skewers? It’ll be my treat.”
