Chapter 70
“Are you really not going to join me for dinner?”
Yvette nodded in response. After all, she had promised Yara and Irwin that she would go back for dinner that evening
Although she refused his dinner invitation, Wilson didn’t persist. Instead, his gaze lingered on her with a gentle warmth, and he spoke in a gentlemanly manner. “May I give you a ride home then, Yvie?
“I’m good.” Yvette shook her head, declining the offer. “I’ve got some things I need to attend to.”
She had previously nude arrangements with Matt for unlimited access to Jubilile University’s laboratory. With this in mind, she intended to head to the lab to resume work on the Revival Potion, aiming to complete it as soon as possible.
“Alright then.”
Wilson was aware that she didn’t like being tied down, so he didn’t ask further questions. Instead, he simply reached out and gently ruffled
her hair
“If you ever encounter problems you can’t solve, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’ll take care of everything for you.”
Yvette’s eyelashes trembled ever so slightly. She had never heard anyone speak to her in such a way. She was also accustomed to tackling everything on her own.
When he witnessed such a scene, Samuel couldn’t help but sigh inwardly again.
Someone who wasn’t in the know would assume Wilson was raising her like a child. Not only did he look after her every whim, but he even wrote an apology essay on her behalf. If such a thing got out, no one would even believe it,
After completing a practice match, Jasper and Sean stepped out for some fresh air and saw that the ostentatious black Maybach was still parked there.
Jasper’s face immediately fell. “Why is my brother still here?
Sean nervously cleared his throat, then suggested, “Why don’t you go ask? Maybe Wilson has something to discuss with you?”
“I’m too scared. Why don’t you go ask him instead?”
Sean’s expression was one of pure horror “No way! I’m scared, tool”
After exchanging glances for a long time, they found strength in each other’s company. With newfound courage, the two approached the Maybach together.
“Hey, Wilson.”
After having just seen Yvette off, Wilson was already in a foul mood. When Jasper appeared out of nowhere, his expression became even more
grim
As a result, Jasper and Sean were scared out of their wits.
“What brings you here? I’ve been on my best behavior, and haven’t caused any trouble recently.”
“I can vouch for him, Wilson, Jasper has been well–behaved recently, and hasn’t caused any trouble!”
At that moment, Samuel, who was in the driver’s seat, almost burst out laughing–Jasper was worrying needlessly. If no one had brought it up, Wilson wouldn’t have even recalled his existence!
Moreover, Yvette was the only person capable of making Wilson leave work early to wait at the university entrance two hours ahead of
schedule
Wilson’s indifferent gaze swept over them, causing them to abruptly stand at attention.
“I’m not here for you two.”
“Whew, that’s a relief!” Sean exclaimed.
After that, he couldn’t help but curiously ask, “If you’re not here for us, then who are you here for?”
Why are you so interested in my affairs?”
As he said that, Wilson shot a cold glance at Sean, who instantly shook his head vehemently.
“Not at alll Not in the slightest!”
“We’re leaving.” Wilson didn’t bother with them any longer and decisively ordered Samuel to drive
“Got it, Mr. Quinn.”
After Wilson’s departure, they both breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Sean couldn’t help but utter, “I wonder if there will ever be a day when Wilson grovels at my feet. And when I’m not the one tiptoeing around him, but him tiptoring around me? How wonderful would that be!”
As soon as he heard that, Jasper scoffed. “In your dreams, buddy. That’ll never happen!”
