A Rose 279


    By the time they left the clinic, it was already gettingte. Wilson took Yvette back to the manor.


    Still in pain, Yvette didn’t eat much during dinner. She dragged herself back to her room, looking


    pale and sickly.


    Wilson frowned at the sight of Yvette in this state, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.


    “Why don’t I help you massage it a little?” he suggested. Hisrge, warm hands reached under the


    hem of her shirt, massaging her


    tummy gently.


    Her skin seemed to be set alight wherever he touched her. Yvette felt herself shudder, but she


    definitely did feel much better.


    Yvette nuzzled obediently into his arms. Before she knew it, she’d fallen asleep.


    When he saw her peaceful face softened in sleep, Wilson’s frown eased. Just as he was about to


    gently kiss her forehead, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of a cell phone.


    Roused from her slumber, Yvette frowned and let out a low groan. But with a few gentle words,


    Wilson had lulled her back to sleep again.


    Noticing that the call hade from Liam, Wilson’s face fell.


    Calling Yvette thiste? This man clearly had suspicious intentions with her.


    Wilson gritted his teeth. With a cold, sinister glint in his eye, he picked up the phone.


    “Hey there, Yvette…”


    As soon as he picked up, Liam’s clear, youthful voice came crooning

    from the other side. Wilson’s eyes narrowed slightly. His threatening air seeped across the line.


    Even on the other side, Liam could feel a strange chill.


    “My baby’s asleep,” Wilson interrupted him coldly. “If you have anything to say to her, you can


    wait till tomorrow.”


    As soon as Liam heard Wilson’s voice, his expression changed. “Why is Yvette’s phone with you?”


    he asked, his jaw hanging wide in shock.


    Wilson couldn’t be bothered to reply. As soon as he made his im over what was his, he hung up


    decisively, blocking Liam’s number swiftly afterward.


    Wilson’s eyes darkened, looking even more terrifying than usual. If Liam still dared to desire his


    Yvette, he wouldn’t hesitate to use some brute force to drive him out of Jubilife City.


    “Mr. Quinn?”


    Hearing the tentative knocking at the door and the guard calling him reverently, Wilson leaned down


    to kiss Yvette’s forehead tenderly. Then, he made his way out of the room quietly.


    “Mr. Quinn, those men we caught today were tough nuts to crack. We tried every means of torture


    on them, but none of them loosened their mouths. Everyst one of them just offed themselves with


    poison,” the guard reported, his head low with respect.


    Wilson’s demeanor grew even frostier at the news, sending chills down the guard’s spine.


    “Keep investigating.”


    Whoever dared toy a finger on Yvette had to be found, even if it meant turning the world upside


    down!


    The guard responded promptly. “Understood, Mr. Quinn.”


    The next day, the headlines shook the whole city of Jubilife.


    The one picture that the journalists had published had be trending news, sparking widespread


    discussion. The only shame was that Wilson had totally blocked her face. Still, the photo


    unmistakably showed the deep, passionate love he had for her.


    “Are my eyes ying tricks on me? Wasn’t thatd from the Quinn family not particrly fond of


    women?


    “Yeah, he looks like he’s really in love with her in that picture! I wish I was the one holding that


    woman instead!”


    “Same here!”


    “But why didn’t he show her face? Perhaps they aren’t really a couple?
