Chapter 325
Jeremiah was used to being the neglected one. Once his mother saw the girl, she basically blocked him out. Jeremiah sat down and casually pinched the girl’s waist, his eyes filled with a deeper smile.
Aurora and Samantha also noticed this small gesture.
Samantha couldn’t help but scoff. She thought, ‘Is Mr. Chavez now taking advantage so blatantly? Shameless!‘
Aurora stared at that hand. She thought, My son’s hand is so rough, it is displeasing to look at
Jeremiah looked up, feeling the hostility from the two women across from him, and chuckled, provocatively pinching again.
He thought, “These two are now bewitched by Yvette. Do they want to compete with me for her attention? They don’t have a chance in the next life…‘
Aurora never expected Jeremiah to act so childish. She was momentarily stunned. Something about her son seems different, but she can’t quite put her finger on it.
Jeremiah lowered his head, his deep eyes looking at Yvette, his voice enticing as he whispered, “How many pieces have you eaten? Aren’t we also going to have steak when we get home later?”
Yvette raised her eyes, her expression wavering for a moment, and then after a few seconds of silence, she put down her fork. Clearly, she chose steak over dessert.
Jeremiah nodded with satisfaction. “Let’s go, back home. Charles and the others have prepared the steak, they’re waiting for you.”
Yvette nodded and turned to Samantha. “Do you want to join us for a meal?”
Samantha waved her hand. She wanted to go too, but Zion was still standing at the entrance of her office. Knowing his stubborn nature, he definitely wouldn’t leave until she showed up. She had to head back to check on things. “Yve, I can’t go. I’ve got a few things to take care of over there.”
Yvette shifted her gaze to Aurora, but before she could ask anything, Aurora spoke up. “You and Jeremiah head back. I don’t go. You two just go enjoy yourselves!”
Yvette said, “Okay.”
Then Yvette and Jeremiah left the Chavez residence together.
Aurora and Samantha stared at the couple’s figures. They thought, ‘The handsome man and beautiful woman, their backs complementing each other perfectly, that’s exactly what these two are like.’
Aurora suddenly sighed. “I finally understand how Jeremiah managed to woo Yvette.”
Samantha, with her arms crossed, had also figured it out. She thought, ‘Yve is an unapologetic foodie, and Mr. Chavez brings her away with just one steak meal.‘Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Samantha made her decision and said very seriously, “Mrs. Chavez, I’ve decided to open a steakhouse.”
Aurora paused and thought, ‘Why don’t I think of such a great idea?‘
Aurora said, “Then I’ll open a barbecue restaurant.”
Samantha nodded. “Mrs. Chavez, how about we collaborate on a steak and barbecue chain?”
Aurora immediately agreed, “Deal, I’ll have my company prepare the contracts, and you can take a look later.”
Samantha smiled, “Mrs. Chayez, you can handle the paperwork, I’ll just sign when it’s ready.”
The two of them hit it off right away, but no one expected that their restaurant for Yvette would turn into the biggest steak and barbecue chain in the country. But that’s a story for another time.
In the car, Yvette had just settled into the passenger seat and hadn’t yet fastened her seatbelt when Jeremiah pulled her over, and Yvette didn’t resist, making it easy for Jeremiah to succeed.
The next second, she was sitting on Jeremiah’s lap. She thought, This position?‘
Yvette squirmed, it wasn’t very comfortable, a bit uncomfortable…
Jeremiah’s breathing roughened, he gritted his teeth, and his voice changed. Husky and low, it carried a different kind of temptation, filled with a heavy breath as if enduring some emotion. “Don’t move.”
In the dim car, Yvette raised her eyes, seeming to have countless stars shining, and her gaze focused and deep. “Are you acting like a hooligan?”
Jeremiah paused, then picked up her fingertips, rubbed them, and whispered, “I only became a hooligan when I met you.”
Yvette stared into Jeremiah’s deep eyes and lifted his chin. She thought, ‘He is quite good at this, but it suits me just fine.‘ Yvette suddenly buried her head and kissed Jeremiah’s lips. Hot and dominant, again and again, constantly eroding his breath,
Jeremiah’s blue pupils gradually sank, until they burst in an instant, once again taking the lead. The handsome and noble man was still immersed in this kiss, unable to extricate himself.
At Skyland, Andrew and Charles were sitting in the living room watching the news report on today’s events, with the phone on the table still playing the live broadcast they had just seen. Their expressions were quite different.
Charles watched the scene of Yvette dealing with Robin on the screen; he didn’t feel violent. He thought, ‘If this is violence, then they have never seen the true violent side of Yvette. This is just a small scene. The most important thing for him was that he only found out today that it turned out Yvette had an identity as an Interpol officer.
Being a top–level Interpol officer meant a lot, and no one knew that better than him, a guy who had tangled with the underworld in Mysonna. Interpol represented absolute authority and status.
Now, someone was telling him that Yvette who swept through the underground world, was actually a top Interpol officer. It was hard to believe. He thought, ‘Isn’t that like playing both sides?
‘Not only does she control them, but she also controls them well. Yvette plays this hand really beautifully. I know Yvette is mysterious, but I never imagine that she is beyond just mysterious. She is so amazing!
Andrew looked at the news broadcast on the screen with admiration. He couldn’t help but tsk from time to time. He nudged Charles, his voice excited. “Charles, Yvette is so awesome, she’s a first–class Interpol officer. Watching her hit those two from Ybaulla, Robin, and Malcolm, was simply too satisfying.”
Charles nodded, and this time he wasn’t so calm either. “It was quite satisfying.”
He thought, ‘That Yvette must have her plans, otherwise, according to her character, these two people would not have survived today.‘
Andrew turned his head, smiled at Charles, and suddenly said, “Charles, you must have done many good deeds in your last life to be able to learn from Yvette, but your luck was a bit bad. You learned art; if you had learned some martial arts or something, you’d definitely make a name for yourself in both the legal and the shady sides of things.”
Charles was left speechless and amused by this, wondering, ‘If I should tell the truth. It is a bit awkward for me, a proper underworld figure, to be called an artist by Andrew every day?
Al ten–thirty, Jeremiah and Yvette returned to Skyland from outside, and Andrew and Charles had already prepared the steak
As soon as they came in, Andrew trotted up. “Yvette, good evening, you’ve worked hard today. I’ve prepared a delicious steak for you, please enjoy your meal.”
Andrew was thoroughly implementing the “flunky” role. Now, he didn’t know Jeremiah. Andrew has temporarily forgotten.
Charles couldn’t bear to look; he said, “Yve, the steak is ready.”
Yvette nodded slightly, raised her eyes, looked at Andrew, hooked her lips, and spoke in a low voice. “Thank you.”
Andrew immediately waved his hand. “No need to thank me, Yvette. Your happiness is my honor.”
Jeremiah pinched the corner of his eye and thought, Alright. In addition to my mother and Samantha, here comes Andrew
Jeremiah coughed. “Let’s go.”
Andrew then turned his head and looked at Jeremiah, speaking casually, “Oh, Mr. Chavez, you’re back too
Jeremiah pointed to the sign at the entrance. “This is my house
Andrew gave a sheepish smile. He thought, Mr. Chavez belongs to Yve, so Mr. Chavez’s house is essentially Yve’s house.”
