Yvette shook her head. "No, why?"

"Nothing. It's just that I feel like we haven't seen him in a while. Maybe you should invite him over for dinner sometime," Viola suggested, not giving up.

Yvette realized what she meant and immediately recalled her last conversation with Claude. "Viola, Claude treats me like a friend. Please don't make things difficult for him."

A friend?

Despite her age, Viola could see clearly that Claude had feelings for Yvette. Could it be that Claude had given up on pursuing Yvette because Xavier was living with her now? Worried for Yvette, Viola added, "I understand, but Yvvy, you need to think about yourself too. You're pregnant now, and it's tough to take care of so many kids on your own." "I have money now, so I'm not worried," Yvette said optimistically.

But Viola hadn't just been talking about finances and hiring help; she wanted Yvette to find love and happiness. Knowing that Yvette wouldn't change her mind easily, Viola didn't push further.

The day passed quickly. The next morning, Yvette needed to go back to Tirion. Seeing her constantly on the move, Viola couldn't help worrying about her.
