Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Jeremiah noticed Aurora’s actions and lightly coughed, pressing a hand to his lips.

‘Is Mom jealous that I’m looking at Yvette?’ he wondered.

His expression turned serious, and his tone was stern. “Mom, she’s my girlfriend.”

Aurora stood protectively in front of Yvette, her voice bold and unyielding. “Yvette and I are closer. Let’s have a fight, and whoever wins gets to take her!”

Seeing that mother and son were about to start another battle over Yvette, Clifford felt a headache coming on.

As the head of the household, he had no choice but to bury his head in the newspaper again.

He couldn’t afford to provoke Jeremiah, and he definitely couldn’t afford to provoke his wife.

So, the best course of action in this situation was to let them sort it out themselves.

Over the years, Clifford had perfected the art of staying out of conflicts at home.

Yvette tilted her head, glancing at Aurora, who was brimming with arrogance.

Her deep gaze shifted slightly.

And she curled her fingers.

Her voice, as always, was cold and detached. “You can’t beat him. If you really want to fight him, I can help.”

Jeremiah was stunned.

Aurora, too, stared blankly at Yvette, who had seriously offered her assistance.

‘My goodness! How can there be such an adorable girl?’ Aurora thought.

Jeremiah looked at the two women, both eager for a fight, and was stunned for a moment.

He was more surprised by his mother’s behavior.

‘No mother would be this excited about beating up her own son, right? I guess I’m destined to lose to these two in this lifetime,’ he thought.

Jeremiah bit his lip. “Fine, I give up, Mom. You win.”

Clifford glanced at him sideways. ‘He should have given in sooner. I’ve been losing to Aurora for years, and he thinks he could win? It’s just like a few days ago,’ he thought.

By the time Yvette and Jeremiah returned to Skyland, it was already midnight.
