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

Chapter 356

Clifford was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh. 'What mother-in-law uses this trick to keep her daughter-in-law? Only my wife could think of such a bizarre tactic. He helplessly whispered, "Honey, can we skip the act?" Aurora rolled her eyes. "We have to act. If we don't do it well, you'll have a hard time. Do you want to sleep in the study?"

Hearing Aurora use this tactic again, Clifford could only sigh and grit his teeth. "Fine, I'll act, okay?" 'Imagine, the illustrious Mr. Chavez of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs being threatened by his wife to sleep in the study-who would believe that?' After Yvette and Jeremiah entered, they saw Aurora leaning back on the sofa, supporting her head, clearly uncomfortable.

Clifford looked at her with concern, saying, "Honey, if you're not feeling well, let's go to the hospital, okay? Don't be stubborn." He wore a serious expression, speaking earnestly.

Aurora rubbed her temples, speaking softly, "Honey, it's okay. If Yvette could come over and spend some more time with me, I'd probably feel better."

Jeremiah and Yvette stood there, hearing every word of the conversation. Jeremiah squinted, his emotions hidden. 'My mom is really something; she even knows how to play this trick to keep a girl around. Yvette stood there, looking at the "weak" Aurora and Clifford, silent for a few seconds. 'How should I play along in this situation?' She needed to think; for the first time, Yvette felt she had encountered a dilemma. Jeremiah couldn't take it any longer and coughed lightly. "Dad, Mom, we're back."

Yvette greeted them lightly.

Aurora pretended to just notice the two of them, sitting up weakly and speaking in a voice barely above a whisper, "Oh, Jeremiah, Yvette, when did you two come back? Why didn't you say anything?"

Clifford forced himself to play along with Aurora and asked with a serious face, "Hmm, how long have you been here?" In fact, they both knew exactly how long they had been there.

Jeremiah watched the performance of the two, pursing his lips, showing little emotion. "Oh, not long. Just heard everything we needed to hear."

Clifford's face looked somewhat unnatural. He could only feign seriousness to change the subject. "Did you finish handling the military affairs today?"

Aurora wanted to roll her eyes at him. "This acting deserves a bad review.' She weakly coughed twice to interrupt their conversation.

Yvette stepped forward, her expression shifting awkwardly, full of concern as she looked at Aurora. She even took Aurora's hand and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?"
