Chapter 711 Chapter 711

Emmett had learned to speculate boldly and guess freely. No matter what identities Yvette had, they always surpassed his, imagination. He had gotten used to it-from shock to acceptance. He had gone through so much because of her relentless reality checks. Jase and James exchanged a look, then turned to the chessboard and wondered, 'Since when did breaking a stalemate become so easy? With years of mutual understanding, they glanced at each other and then returned to their serious expressions. Jase looked at Yvette briefly and asked, "Did that brat not feed you well enough?"

Je, James, Aurora, and Clifford all had their eyes fixed on Jeremiah, who was peeling a pomegranate. Their expressions were uncannily similar, and their eyes looked as if they were asking, "Why didn't you feed her properly?"

Emmett stood aside, wanting to speak up for Jeremiah, and thought, 'Yvette never seems to gain weight, no matter how much she eats. She basically eats enough for two every day and sometimes even has a late-night snack. When has she ever not had enough to eat? If anything, she's overfed!

A physique like that is so rare. It's as if God gave Yvette a unique advantage. Other women put in a lot of effort to diet and lose weight, but she eats more than anyone else yet never gains weight. Isn't that annoying?'

This time, James didn't argue with Jase. Because of Yvette, they were on the same side for once. James said, "Your grandson is too poor to care for my granddaughter. Look how hungry she's been."

For once, Jase didn't retort and nodded. "She is a bit thin, and being able to eat well is a blessing. Stay here for a few days and let Cara cook you something nourishing. Too skinny, and you won't hold onto that luck. Gaining a little weight would be better."

Yvette squinted slightly at Jase and James, nodding a little. She said nonchalantly, "I eat a lot but can't gain weight. I was born like this. I can't do anything about it."

Aurora glanced down at her little tummy, which seemed to stick out more after eating just a little extra. When can I ever have a figure like Yvette's?' she thought.

At that moment, Clifford noticed Aurora staring at her stomach in a daze and wondered, 'What on earth is she thinking about now?' Clifford picked up the newspaper again, looking every bit the refined gentleman. Casually, he said, "I like you just the way you are."

After Clifford said that, his ears turned a little red. He picked up the newspaper from the table to cover himself to hide his embarrassment.

Clifford's sudden words took Aurora aback. She was stunned and confused, clearly not used to such things. When they were young, getting him to say something affectionate would take him three days and nights to build up the courage, and he would say it awkwardly. Aurora thought, 'Pulling this move at his age? How cheesy. Does he think he is like Yvette?' While Clifford felt embarrassed, he had no idea she was already fed up with him inside.

Emmett watched as Clifford hid his face behind the newspaper. His lips twitched as he thought, 'Mr. Clifford Chavez's attempt to hide himself is really unnecessary.

When did he and Mrs. Chavez start acting lovey-dovey without regard for others? So now it's Mr. Jeremiah Chavez and Yvette and them. It's like the whole family is flaunting their affection in front of a single man like me from start to finish. It's just not fair! The next second, Yusef walked in through the door and nodded at the people in the living room. Then, he respectfully said to Jase, who was sitting on a woven chair, "Mr. Jase Chavez, food is ready. You may eat.

Jase tried to stand up, but his legs were numb. He couldn't do it alone. Thus, he waved his hand dismissively. "You guys go ahead and eat first. I'll come over later. I have something to do."

Yusef was a bit confused. He was responsible for Jase's daily plans, and today, there was nothing scheduled other than dining

at home.

Wette stood there, raising an eyebrow with a sly smile. 'He's quite the actor, she mused.

James perked up when Jase mentioned work, knowing that the latter was the busiest among them. He stood, grabbed his cane, and said to Jase, "You're not getting any younger. Why push yourself so hard? Be careful so you don't kick the bucket before me." Jase waved his hand and said, "Old man, you're just the same, always tinkering away in the lab. Stop cursing me and get going."

James huffed, walked over to Yvette, and whispered, "Yvette, come have dinner with me. Ignore that old coot."

Yvette squinted her eyes slightly. Her gaze darkened, but her overly refined face showed a casual expression. She spoke slowly. "Grandpa James, you go ahead first. I need to have a word with Mr. Jase Chavez."

Except for Jeremiah, who guessed why Yvette stayed behind, James, Clifford, and Aurora didn't think much of it. They all got up to head to the dining room.

Jeremiah stepped backward, turned around, and looked at Yvette. His voice was low and hoarse as he muttered, "Grandpa's in good shape."

Yvette slowly curled one side of her lips, a hint of playfulness in her expression. After that, Jeremiah also walked into the dining room, leaving her and Jase alone in the living room.

Jase was momentarily taken aback by the mysterious comment Jeremiah had left before departing. He had a strong feeling that he was trying to trick him.

Jase looked away and noticed how Yvette seemed to be glancing at his leg now and then. Trying to act authoritative, he said in a deep voice, "Yvette, if you have something to say, just say it."

In reality, Jase's underlying message was, "Hurry up and speak, then leave." Unfortunately for him, Yvette was in no hurry. Instead, she calmly walked to the other side and sat down.

Casually putting the white and black chess pieces back in place, she lifted her eyes. Her gaze darkened as she raised an eyebrow and curled her lips. "Mr. Chavez, shall we play again?" she offered.

Jase's eyelids twitched. 'Another game? My old body can't handle it!' he exclaimed inwardly. He hesitated momentarily before saying, "Yvette, can we do it some other time?" Yvette looked at Jase in silence and without expression. Finally, he coughed softly, realizing why she insisted on playing chess with him. "When did you notice my leg was numb?" he asked. Yvette raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up, walking over to Jase. She bent down and lightly pressed her finger on a spot

With just one press, Jase felt his numb leg spring back to life, warmth spreading through it. Yeme raghtened up camally and said, "From the beginning"

Jase was amused and exasperated at the same time. He thought, So Yvette knew my leg was amb from the start and va watching the show the whole time. Wasn't she worried I'd get mad? Jase deliberately put on a serious face and said, "You enjoyed watching me struggle. Areet you worried I'll pr

Yvette had the same indifferent look on her face, with her hands in her pockets and her delicate brows raised dighly. Her green eyes were like a cold, still lake, and her voice was as cool and detached as ever.

She stated, "After all these years, I still don't know what fear means. The concept of fear had never existed in Frene's fe She wasn't afraid in the past, not scared now, and would definitely not be fearful in the future.
