A Rose 348


    Wilson lowered his head and brushed his warm breath against her earlobe. Despite sounding


    forceful and domineering, his tone carried a hint of affection.


    “Yvie, you’re destined to be mine.”


    As the atmosphere in the car grew increasingly intimate, Samuel suddenly spoke. “Mr. Quinn, we’ve


    arrived at the manor-”


    Before Samuel could even finish, he was met with Wilson’s icy re. He was so intimidated that his


    legs weakened, almost causing him to kneel instinctively.


    “Grandma is waiting for you inside,” Wilson said, withdrawing his re. When he turned to Yvette,


    his gaze became affectionate again. He carefully led her out of the car.


    “Okay.” Yvette nodded and obediently let him lead her into the manor.


    When they reached the door, Wilson’s phone buzzed in his pocket. After seeing the caller ID, he


    frowned and said gently, “Baby, go in first. I need to take this call.”


    “Okay.” Yvette strode into the manor with Samuel’s lead.


    “Yvie, you’re here!”


    Martha was on the couch with her sses on, ying with her phone. Upon seeing Yvette, she


    immediately put her phone down and took Yvette’s hands with a loving smile.


    “I’ve missed you so much! You’re finally here to visit me!”


    Yvette smiled and softly said, “I’ll visit you after my sses from now on.”


    “Yvie, you don’t have toe every day after ss. Will is going to pick a fight with me if you do,”


    Martha teased with a chuckle.


    She added, “I know you young folks need your time together. Just drop by to see me every now and


    then!


    Yvette blushed at the teasing, purposefully choosing to change the subject. “Grandma, you just got


    out of the hospital. You should rest more and y with your phone less.”


    Martha nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll quit my habit of ying on the phone.”


    Standing nearby, Samuel watched in both amazement and disbelief.


    Yvette was incredible. Martha’s fondness for her phone and inte surfing was well–known. No


    one could stop her, not even Wilson.


    But now, Martha was willing to give up her phone with just a word of advice from Yvette.


    Yvette indeed had a firm hold of her ce in the family.


    “Grandma, I’m back!” Jasper strode in at that moment and was stunned to see Yvette sitting on the


    couch.


    “Yvie, why are you here?”

    “Jasper, you’re back,” said Martha.


    Martha was initially smiling joyfully. But upon hearing Jasper’s tone when addressing Yvette, she


    Immediately frowned. “Jasper, why are you addressing Yvie with such a doting tone? You should be


    more


    respectful toward her-”


    Before Martha could finish, Jasper excitedly interrupted, “Grandma, Yvie is the girl I told you I have


    a

    crush on–but I haven’t won her over just yet. Why did you bring her back to our manor–Ouch! Why


    are you hitting me?”


    After recovering from her bewilderment, Martha started hitting him on the back.


    “You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting? This is your future sister–inw! Do you want your


    brother to break your legs?”
