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

Chapter 714

Both Jase and James shot surprised glances at Clifford, wondering when he had started to make bad jokes.

After dessert, everyone moved to the living room for chit-chat. Jeremiah poured a glass of water for Yrette and studied her delicate features as he said, "Have some water" Yvette accepted the glass and took a sip leisurely,

In the next moment, Jeremiah offered her a piece of napkin before settling back onto the couch. With his long legs crossed, he casually draped his fingers over the back of the couch, effectively marking out Yvette's spot.

The way he surveyed the others with a coolly detached expression was a stark contrast to his previon attentivenew, perfectly demonstrating the meaning of double standards.

Aurora turned to look at Clifford beside her. With her arms crossed, she raised an eyebrow meaningfully, signaling for hims to learn from Jeremiah through her gaze.

Clifford adjusted his glasses with resignation. 'Jeremiah's getting on my nerves-can't they be lovey-dovey somewhere private?' he thought.

As a matter of fact, Emmett shared the sentiment.

Clifford was already having an existential crisis from what happened today. Yet, he never imagined he'd need to learn how to pamper Aurora from Jeremiah.

James savored a sip of coffee before asking, "Yvette, what are your plans now? Will you stay in Betrico or return to Mysonna? Have you finished your business in Mysonna?"

To be honest, James hoped Yvette would stay in Betrico and visit the physics lab in her free time to conduct some experiments. However, he wouldn't suggest it-he'd support whatever she wanted to do and wouldn't pressure her to go to the lab. Jeremiah's fingers twitched, and his eyes darkened.

Lowering her gaze, Yvette set down her glass slowly. The next moment, she gave Jase, James, Aurora, and Clifford a slight fod and drawled, "I'm going back to Seacrity. Finals are coming up at Argrol University."

Earlier that morning, Yvette received a text from Bonnie reminding her about finals in two weeks, which would then be followed by winter break.

Jeremiah curved his lips at Yvette's words, his gaze thoughtful. If not for her reminder, he'd have forgotten he was still a professor at Argrol University.
