Love Her to No End

Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Shut Yvonne Up

Due to Yvonne’s appearance, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere within the Xander residence instantly turned ice-cold.

Michaela fidgeted in her seat next to Mavis, with her hands subconsciously clasped together. As the root cause of all the conflict over the past weeks had been indirectly caused by her, it was only natural for her to feel anxious.

Jonathan walked in and sat on the single-seater directly opposite Yvonne. With a carefully blank expression, he waited for Yvonne’s next move in silence.

The grim atmosphere did nothing to return Yvonne to her senses. She spoke again as soon as she sat down. “Zack has had a high fever since yesterday night. His face was covered in bruises when I saw him. I was so scared that I thought he had gotten beaten up outside. Only when I asked did I find out he was punished here. The boy is young and immature. As his mother, I will naturally take responsibility. I also beg you not to hold a grudge against Zack, Uncle Nick and Aunt Mavis. There’s just one thing I don’t understand. What did Zack do that was so bad to warrant such a beating after a visit to the Xander residence? Please enlighten me!”

After all that build up, she finally got to the point.

Jonathan leaned back lazily on the couch and stretched out his long legs before glancing at his sister-in-law carelessly. “Since you’re clearly addressing me, Yvonne, why don’t you just come right out and say it? Why beat around the bush?”

Mavis frowned. “Jonathan!”

Despite being she was highly disappointed by Yvonne’s attitude, the matriarch did not want to make things difficult for Quentin’s wife.

Mavis’ gesture of trying to spare Yvonne the embarrassment was not appreciated by the latter. Already simmering with rage, Yvonne lost her temper at Jonathan’s words.

“Have I ever wronged you over the years, Jonathan? Zack has been respectful to you as well, hasn’t he? Did you reciprocate the respect? Zack is your nephew. Why did you have to be so heavy-handed with him? Kneeling in punishment is embarrassing enough, and you even resorted to physical assault. What kind of an elder are you?”

Yvonne felt distressed at the thought of how her son had suffered from a high fever the night before. Her gaze toward Jonathan turned hostile.
