Secrets Of MrS 709

Chapter 709 57

Aurora nodded with a smile, finding Yvette more adorable by the minute. Her lovely Yvette was so cute.

Aurora nodded and blinked. Although she was almost 50, her expressions still held the innocence and romance of a young girl.

Aurora earnestly assured Yvette, saying, "Don't worry, Yvette. I'll never run from now on. If I fall and you're not around, who'll care for me and love me?" Yvette narrowed her eyes and raised an eyebrow as she slowly said, "With me around, I won't let you get hurt."

Aurora nodded contentedly, practically clinging to Yvette. Smiling, she said, "I knew it. You'll always have my back even if no one else protects me."

Their conversation left everyone in the living room with different expressions. Even James, who was over 70, couldn't stand it anymore. Speaking of Clifford, could his status in the family get any lower?

Emmett watched the scene unfold and wondered, 'Is Mrs. Chavez acting out the scene of a domineering female CEO doting on her sweet little wife?'

Clifford's expression was quite something as he watched Aurora playfully cling to Yvette. He felt a mix of jealousy and helplessness as he thought, 'Whose wife is she exactly?'

Jeremiah pinched the bridge of his nose, his gaze subtly shifting as he watched Aurora holding Yvette's hand. He said in a deep voice, "Mom, let go of her hand. Now!"

The living room turned quiet. Emmett silently took two steps back as he thought, 'Mr. Chavez is indeed brave to bother Mrs. Chavez at a time like this. It's over... The volcano's about to erupt...'

Emmett had just stepped back when he noticed James also silently taking two steps back. Emmett's eye twitched.

Noticing Emmett's gaze, James awkwardly stroked his beard and muttered softly, "What are you looking at? I know the kind of temper Aurora has."

Sure enough, the next second, Aurora's roar echoed through the living room. She shouted, "Jeremiah, you brat! There's no dinner for you here, so just leave already. Yvette's my daughter-in-law. Why can't I spend time with her? Am I breaking any laws?" "Clifford, you got a problem with me spending time with Yvette?" she continued.

Aurora was mad, and Clifford did not want to end up in the study again, so playing it safe was the best option for now. He sighed, shook his head reluctantly, and said, "I have no objections. What Jeremiah said has nothing to do with me." Whatever father-son relationship existed vanished completely at that moment.

Aurora turned to Jeremiah, clearly annoyed. She said, "I'm telling you, brat, there's the door if you can't stand it. Hurry up and leave. Don't keep me, Yvette, and James from having dinner. Goodbye."

Jeremiah seemed to have anticipated Aurora's reaction. His blue eyes showed no surprise as he looked at Yvette, his expression as innocent as could be.

Aurora finished speaking and felt much calmer when she suddenly sensed a subtle gaze from across her, and her body stiffened. She had forgotten Yvette was here, too; she had exposed herself.

Chapter 709

Her image of being gentle, kind, and beautiful was ruined in Yvette's eyes, Panora had really torten the brandic hore where she had single-handedly beaten up several women when the fort met Yvette, Aurora dropped her earlier demeanor and looked at Yvette sheepishly, the sld, "Um, Yvette, sweetheart, I'm actually very gentle.*

Just then, Jeremiah sighed softly. It was faint, but everyone heard it and turned to him jeremiáis vice wulon, and one listened closely, there was a hint of sadness.

He said, "Since you seem not to welcome me, I'll leave so that I won't keep you from dinner. K's fine. I'm used to being alone anyway. It doesn't matter whether I eat dinner or not. Please don't let me spoil your mood

th that, he turned to leave, his back exuding a strong sense of loneliness,

Eminett almost started clapping as he thought, "Tek tsk... Just look at Mr. Chavez's godlike acting skills. It'd be a real injustice if he doesn't win an Oscar for Best Actor this year?

James' aged face twitched. He wondered, 'Is this still the same Jeremiah: How did dating my granddaugher lead to this much drama? Ha! Even ghosts are scared of The Living Reaper of Petrico, and now he pretends to be pitiful Who's he trying to fool? Clifford had a look on his face that said, "You're really something, kid. Jeremiah might not have learned much from dating but he certainly got playing pitiful down to an art.

Aurora looked up at Jeremiah in disbelief, her eyes wide. She understood immediately. Jeremiah was setting her up on purpose. He was pretending to be pitiful to win Yvette's sympathy-how terrible. She screamed inwardly. She was mad at him.

Yvette's eyes gleamed like stars, her delicate brows slightly arched, and a faint smile played at her lips. Slowly, she said, "Stop."

Jeremiah paused, turned around, and looked deeply at Yvette. He just stood there without a word, perfectly embodying helplessness and vulnerability.

Yvette glanced at him, then at Aurora in front of her, raised her eyebrows, and squeezed her cold fingertips. She said slowly, "Anger isn't good for a woman's skin. You're so beautiful. Don't be mad."

With just a few words, Aurora's heart leaped with joy, and her face flushed. It was more effective than drinking any milk before bed.

Aurora replied, "You're right, Yvette. I shouldn't get angry often. I'm such a beauty; getting mad will affect my looks. Forget it. Let's let him stay for dinner."

Clifford's gaze deepened as he looked at Yvette. He wondered, 'Did this kid win my wife's heart purely with her beauty?

Emmett never expected this family dispute to be so easily resolved with a single remark from Yvette. From now on, the family standing in the Chavez family was clear without doubt.

Jeremiah seemed taken aback as he wondered, "Yvette knows how to coax people now? Though the person she coaxed is...

Now, they were finally free. They all turned to look at Jase who was sitting on the woven chair.

Jase met everyone's gaze without a change in his expression, showing no sign that his legs were completely numb and he couldn't move at all. He was old, after all, and sitting for a while blocked his blood circulation. 10:08 Mon, 6 Jan

James, leaning on his cane, watched Jase sitting there all calm and composed and thought he was intentionally not moving

James snorted, his voice booming like a bell. He said, "You old geezer, what are you pretending for? Why don't you get up now that I'm here? If I'm not welcome, I'll leave?

Aurora quickly led Yvette inside to sit on the couch. She whispered, "Yvette, these two have had multiple World Wars. Let's stay out of it and let them handle it themselves."

Jeremiah sat close to Yvette. They were so close that there was not even a gap between them. Not wanting to be outdone, Aurora sat on Yvette's right side, snuggling up close as well.

The two of them sandwiched Yvette in the middle. Yvette narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jeremiah, her gaze deep. Could

is man not be so childish?
