A Rose 248


    As Jacob looked at Nancy’s obedient and sweet demeanor, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips,


    and his expression softened further. As expected, Yvette’s friends were just as charming and lovely


    as she


    was


    Yvette raised her delicate browszily. She wondered why Nancy acted so cutely in front of her


    brother. It was different from how she usually behaved.


    Suddenly, Yvette had a bold thought. Could it be that the person Nancy had liked for so many years


    was Jacob?


    That night, Wilson stared at his phone, noticing that Yvette hadn’t replied to his messages.


    His gaze darkened, radiating a dangerous air. “What an ungrateful brat!” he thought.


    “Mr. Quinn, Ms. Yvette must be too busy to respond. Why don’t you just give her a call?” Samuel,


    standing nearby, suggested.


    “You’re right.” Wilson nodded, his voice cold but steady. “Your sry will be doubled from now on.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Quinn!” Samuel replied happily before discreetly exiting the room.


    The video call connected quickly, and Yvette appeared on the screen.


    She looked like she had just stepped out of the shower. Her body was enveloped by rising steam,


    resembling a beautiful water lily that was captivating to behold.


    “Are you at the hospital with Grandma?” Yvette recognized the hospital background and spoke


    softly.


    “Yeah.” Wilson’s tone was gentle as he replied, “Grandma misses you.”


    “I’ll visit tomorrow,” Yvette said.

    Wilson’s deep, maic voice interjected, “Yvie, I missed you too.”


    Meeting his intense gaze made Yvette’s heart skip a beat. She thought to herself that the charming


    man before her had somehow be even more alluring


    Yvette lowered the camera slightly to hide her flushed ears. But she forgot that she had just taken a


    shower and was only wearing a loose bathrobe, which hung loosely on her frame with a wide


    neckline.


    Caught off guard, Wilson’s eyes widened as he took in the sight, his gaze instantly darkening. He


    swallowed hard, feeling the heat rise in his body.


    Wilson couldn’t help but think that although Yvette looked slim, her figure was surprisingly good.


    Wilson forced himself to close his eyes, trying to divert his attention. His usually cool voice turned


    hoarse as he asked, “Are you intentionally tormenting me?”


    Realizing what she had done, Yvette’s ears burned with embarrassment.


    She quickly covered her chest with her hands and eximed, “You’re not allowed to look!”


    “Okay, I won’t. His deep, husky voice,ing through the screen, sounded even more seductive. It


    caused Yvette’s ears to heat up further and her heart to race uncontrobly.


    She quickly ended the video call in a panic.


    Wilson looked at the disconnected call with a mix of helplessness and affection, letting out a soft


    laugh.


    She just hung up on him like that. Wilson was entertained by the thought that she didn’t care about


    him at all.


    Taking a deep breath, Wilson forced himself to suppress the rising desire within him. But the image


    of what he had just seen kept reying in his mind.


    He loosened his tie. “Ugh, another day I don’t want to deal with…”
