The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 358

Just as he finished speaking, Yvette and Jase came down from the second floor and overheard this statement.

Jase suddenly spoke up, startling Clifford, who was facing away from them on the sofa. "What are you guys talking about?"

Clifford immediately turned around, seeing the two of them looking at him. For the first time in many years, facing the world with composure, he felt a bit embarrassed. His usually stern face showed signs of awkwardness.

Aurora wanted to laugh at his expression. 'Honey, you're clearly very satisfied with Yvette, yet you always put on a serious front. Now that someone overheard this, it's a bit embarrassing.

Aurora stepped forward to ease the tension. "It's nothing, Dad. Clifford just said that next time there's danger, all the dirty and tough work should be done by Jeremiah. Yvette is the treasure of our whole family; we can't let anything happen to her."

Jeremiah walked over to Yvette, glanced at her, then at Jase, and softly said, "Let's go back to Skyland." After that, he turned to Jase, "Grandpa, we're leaving now."

Jase nodded. "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at your Purplegold Estate tomorrow."

Yvette nodded at the three of them and paused briefly beside Clifford before saying, "Thank you."

Clifford stood there, momentarily stunned. After understanding the meaning behind her gratitude, he smiled.

'But just now, my daughter-in-law acknowledged me, which wasn't easy at all.

Aurora stood beside him, patting him proudly. "Yvette may be quiet usually, but she knows better than anyone who truly cares for her. If you genuinely accept her, she will really see you as family."

Jase watched the two of them walk away, then turned back to the study, his silhouette slightly forlorn. 'I'm getting old; this world ultimately belongs to the young.

On the way back, Jeremiah sat in the driver's seat and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Did Grandpa ask about Kaiden?"

Yvette, nestled in the passenger seat, casually unwrapped a vanilla toffee and popped it into her mouth, mumbling, "Yeah." She turned her head to glance at Jeremiah, pausing briefly, "To tell the truth."
