Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Yvette slightly turned her head and then pulled out of her pocket a candy that was wrapped in colorful paper, looking incredibly pretty.

Yvette pointed at the candy and softly said to Andrew hiding behind Samantha, “This is for you.”

She had figured out that the unlucky guy who got beaten up after she went drunk last night was probably Andrew, whose face looked quite pitiful right now.

Andrew looked at the candy Yvette put on the table in astonishment and thought, ‘Isn’t it like comforting a child with candy after scolding him? I am a grown man, not a child. Besides, I wouldn’t take what she did last night as a big deal anyway!

Feeling touched, Andrew said, “Thank you, Yvette. You’re kind to me.”

Yvette had her hands in her pockets, her shirt sleeves casually rolled up a few inches, showing a bit of her pale wrist.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly yet her voice was flat. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just don’t know where to put it.”

Andrew was speechless and thought, ‘ Can I take back my words?

A hint of amusement appeared in Jeremiah’s eyes and he thought, ‘Yvette was trying to be nice to Andrew. She was just a bit awkward and didn’t want to admit it.’

Samantha also sensed Yvette’s good intentions and thought with a slight smile, ‘I am not wrong about Yvette, using candy to win over a man in his twenties. Brilliant! Does Jeremiah buy this too? Maybe I should try it sometime and treat Zion some candy.‘

When finished speaking, Yvette waved her hand and went upstairs.

Charles watched the scene with mixed emotions and thought, ‘Finally, Yvette is not cold and detached like before. I am happy for her.‘

Jeremiah watched Yvette go upstairs until she entered her room and then turned his gaze to Charles.

Jeremiah’s mind was filled with curiosity and he thought, ‘Charles has been acting strangely since we mentioned these two Ybaullan people. However, it seems like he cares more about Kaiden than Robin. Charles must know Kaiden well!

Since Samantha and Andrew were clueless, Jeremiah didn’t ask Charles directly about Kaiden, but instead, he questioned him with an emotionless face, “What do you think of Kaiden?”
