Yvonne did not say a single word. She only observed them quietly, glancing up and down
as if trying to discern their relationship.
She managed a smile at Weston, “It’s such a coincidence. Most of the guests in the Noir Restuarant
are couples. Are you two…” Stella clenched her fists tight, letting her nails dig deep into her flesh.
She desperately wanted to explain to Yvonne, but she could not make a sound. She wanted to say she
had nothing to do with Weston, but even she found that hypocritical . Yvonne must think of her as some
shameless woman who would had affairs, right?
After a brief silence, Weston spoke first. “We just happened to meet each other. There’s nothing
special.” “Really?” Yvonne nodded. She seemed to believe them, but her perfunctory attitude was clear.
She gave Stella a meaningful and complicated look.
Stella could not look her in the eye. What else could she say?
It was Weston who forced her. Would Yvonne believe it?
The two of them had just become friends not long ago. It was normal not to trust her…
Weston frowned looking at Stella drowning in shame. He took a step forward and blocked
Yvonne’s view. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first.” Lucas, who had been silent, took Yvonne’s
shoulder.
“See you next time, Mr. Ford.”
Weston nodded. He took Stella and left without looking back. Meanwhile, Yvonne stood still and
watched them leave with a complicated expression. Lucas knew what she was thinking.
“Don’t worry about other people’s business. Just mind yourself.”
Yvonne got a little angry and glared at him.
“I was just surprised. Ella looks like such a good child. I didn’t think she would…”. She could not say
that foul word to describe Ella. It was true that she disliked Guinevere, but she and Weston were a
couple. Why was Ella doing this? Yvonne was very fond of Stella, not only because they resembled
each other. Even their experience and personalities were similar. She never thought Stella would do
such a thing.
Yvonne felt a little disappointed. Lucas could not stand her depressed look.
“She’s just a colleague from the training center. Is she worth making such a big deal out of?” Yvonne
stopped smiling ever since she got into the car. She had plastered her gaze out the window and sighed
periodically.
Otherwise, she would turn her head at him, shake her head, and say nothing
Lucas hated seeing her like that. He put the documents in his hand aside and pulled her into his arms.
“It’s my birthday today. Should you be so concerned about an outsider?” He reached out to pinch her
face.
“You’ve known her for such a short time. It’s only natural that you don’t know her well enough yet. Don’t
bother yourself with this.”
Yvonne knew he was trying to comfort her, but she did not like him speaking so harshly. She could not
help but reach out and pinch his face back.
“Forget it. Today is your birthday, so I’ll stop.”
