Love Her to No End

Chapter 79 Sweet Stolen Kiss

After apologizing to each of them in turn, Yvonne was visibly embarrassed.

Upon closer recollection of her son’s uneasy and shifty appearance that morning, it just occurred to her that instead of looking like he had been victimized, it was clearly a sign of guilt.

Yvonne only had herself to blame for being unable to control her temper. Having heard the housekeeper report that her son had been beaten and punished in the Xander residence the night before, she was too overwhelmed with distress to think straight.

Now that she came to think of it, the elderly couple had spoiled Zack since he was young. They would never have allowed him to suffer a shred of indignity if he had not done something wrong.

It looks like I have angered the old couple and as a result, offended Jonathan.

Yvonne was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would swallow her whole. Faced with Jonathan’s cold glare, her confrontational demeanor dissolved completely.

Just as she was about to find a reason to leave, Albert hurried in and stopped before Jonathan. “Mr. Jonathan,” he said respectfully, “Mr. Quentin called and asked for Mdm. Yvonne.”

Albert heard the quarrel in the living room and lamented to himself the degree to which Yvonne had spoiled her son. His previous trip to the house had caused great sorrow in the elderly couple.

“Hmm!” Jonathan grunted his assent.

Due to being in a bad mood, his face looked a little gloomy. Even so, it was difficult to conceal his air of regality.

Upon obtaining permission, Albert handed the phone over to Yvonne. “Mdm. Yvonne.”

“Thank you!” Yvonne smiled like she had a toothache as she received the phone. “What is it, Quentin?” she said softly. “Yes, our son has been in contact with Lucille behind our backs. I came to discuss Zack’s affairs with Jonathan. We didn’t quarrel… I know… Well, don’t worry… Do you want a word with Jonathan? I’ll pass him the phone.”

Quentin had lost both parents when he was sitting for the entrance exam. Thanks to the love of the elderly couple, he managed to become the man he was.

To Quentin, Nick and Mavis were the parents to whom he owed everything. Although the way he greeted them did not change, Yvonne did not doubt the filial respect he had for the elderly couple.

If Quentin knew that she came to seek trouble with them, he would not let the matter go easily.
