Chapter 2725


    Yannie paused and instinctively nced at the closed door. “I‘m with Gwen-” “I need you, Yannie,”


    Thomas interrupted before she could even finish her sentence. There was a hint of excitement in his


    tired voice as he said, “Because…this could turn out to be one of the most memorable days in my life,


    so I want you to witness it with me.”


    Yannie bit her lip and fell silent upon hearing Thomas‘ earnest request, then finally agreed.” Alright, I‘ll


    come with you.”


    She agreed to go with him not because she was fine with leaving Gwen but because…


    Gwen had Luna and Rachel with her, but she was the only person Thomas had. Even though he was a


    world–famous celebrity with good looks, wealth, and good family background, Yannie knew better than


    anyone just how lonely he truly was.


    Ever since his mother passed and his father remarried, Thomas had always felt abandoned and spent


    most of his time alone.


    She and Riley were the closest people he had to a family.


    Thomas rarely told Yannie things like this, so after some careful contemtion, she decided to go with


    him.


    “Alright, I‘ll go pick you up at noon.” Thomas curled his lips into a smile and hung up the phone cheerily.


    Yannie tucked her phone away, returned to the room, and exined what had just happened in Luna‘s


    ear. “Luna, I… I have to go with Thomas.”


    Luna was an understanding person, so when she heard this, she naturally smiled and reached out to


    pat Yannie‘s shoulder. “Go ahead; don‘t worry. With Rachel and I around, Gwen will be fine. You can go


    ahead and be there for Thomas in his time of need.”

    Yannie murmured a response and bade Luna farewell before leaving. Aftering out of the hotel, she


    stopped by the hospital to visit Riley.


    Riley was sleeping soundly inside the specialized neonatal ward that Thomas had requested for her.


    “Little Riley is getting stronger by the day,” the doctor said, smiling. “Judging by her progress, she‘ll be


    able to y like a normal child in less than six months.”


    Yannie continued watching Riley for a long time through the ss before eventually leaving.


    Unbeknownst to her…


    As soon as she left, the doctor removed her face mask and entered the stairwell.


    “Don‘t worry, Mrs. Howard. Everything is going just as we nned.”


    11 a.m.


    Yannie arrived at the lobby of Howard Group, dressed in a dainty–looking suit. Everyone that passed


    by her on their way out of the building could not help sneaking nces at her.


    She was stunning–even more so than Denise Hughes, the most beautiful woman in the city!


    Yannie waited in the lobby for about half an hour before Howard eventually emerged, surrounded by


    assistants. “We’ll resume this discussion in the afternoon. I have something important to attend to now.”


    Then, he nced at his personal assistant and ordered, “Send a car to pick up…”


    Before he could even finish, however, he caught sight of Yannie, who was standing in the distance,


    grinning at him. She was standing right in a patch of sunlight that illuminated her beautiful smile and


    gleaming eyes. Thomas‘ heart leaped into his throat. He immediately strode towards her, leaving all the


    assistants behind him.


    “When did you arrive?”
