A Rose 218


    Matt proceeded to ask, “Yvie, I heard from Gabriel that you’re seeing someone.”


    Yvette replied almost immediately, “No, I’m not.”


    Matt let out a sigh of relief. He beamed and said, “I knew it! Of course you wouldn’t date anyone.


    That Gabriel was babbling nonsense again. Well, Yvie, I have a son around your age-


    Yvette interrupted and said, “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my fiancé.”


    “What?” asked Matt, wide–eyed in disbelief. “Fiancé? Are you engaged? Since when? Why didn’t


    you mention it before?”


    Yvette calmly nodded and said, “Yeah, I found out recently, too.”


    After Matt recovered from the shock, he felt extremely upset. He initially intended to matchmake


    Yvette and his son.


    Matt continued, “Yvie, I heard from Gabriel that your fiancé is older than you are. You should be


    careful. You’re still young, so you mustn’t marry an old man!”


    Yvette smirked at this. “Mr. Russell, why don’t you tell him in person?”


    “Sure!” Matt agreed without hesitance. “When I’m back from my business trip, I’ll meet him myself!”

    Matt wanted to see for himself what brazen fool snatched his intended daughter–inw away from


    him. Yvette smiled cheekily. She hoped Matt would be able to bravely say the same thing after


    meeting Wilson face to face.


    “By the way, Yvie, I’ve something to talk to you about,” Matt said, suddenly shing a humble smile.


    The annual medicalpetition between Jubilife University and Vista University is about to begin-”


    Before Matt could finish, Yvette answered without hesitance, “I refuse.”


    “But Yvie, I’ve already signed you up…”


    Matt knew Yvette would never agree to participate. As such, he signed her up before she could


    event reject him. Yvette felt baffled by this.


    “I beg you, Yvie. We’ve repeatedly lost to Vista University in the past few years. The chancellor of


    Vista University always makes fun of me! I’ll need your help to shame them this time.”


    Matt put on his best puppy eyes and said pitifully over the video call.


    “Yvie, just help me this once. If you don’t participate, we’re going to lose again. You can’t possibly


    wish for the chancellor of Vista University tough at me again, right?”


    Yvette had no choice but to agree. “Just this once.”


    “Okay, okay!” Matt said, beaming. “I promise there won’t be a next time!”


    Matt was delighted. He believed Jubilife University would definitely win this year’s medical


    competition with Yvette’s participation. It was finally Matt’s turn to show off to the chancellor of Vista


    University.
