It was the first day Yvette came back to ss. Right before ss ended, Tobias assigned her a lot of basic homework
Yvette walked out of the school just when Jeremiah’s ck Jeep had pulled up at the school gate.
No matter how many people were around, she was always the most eye-catching, impossible to ignore.
Yvette gave a quick nce of Jeremiah’s car and went straight over to open the door and got in
Jeremiah leaned over to fasten her seat belt for her.
His tone was natural. “I got you the wings you wanted and a milkshake from the ce near the gate and some lobster. Is there anything else you want to eat?”
Yvette raised her gaze and a smirk appeared on her lips. Her delicate brows were mischievous and wild, her eyes slightly lifted with a hint of a smile. Casually, she said, “Are you fattening me up?”
Jeremiah looked into her eyes, which were blue and bright, yet particrly clear.
As always, she maintained a coolposure. Yet it still inexplicably drew him in and he was addicted to it,
Jeremiah slightly lifted his lips, wearing a subtle smile, his voice carrying a mesmerizing tone. “No, I’m just taking care of my future wife.”
Yvette hesitated for a moment. Her gaze settled on his prominent Adam’s apple, then slowly moved upward before she withdrew her stare.
She remained quiet. When a man wanted to be charming, no woman stood a chance.
Jeremiah noticed her silence. He became uncertain and thought, Did I mess up? In Andrew’s collection of pick-up lines, this one is supposed to work like magic
Usually, when a girl heard this, she would yfully hit her boyfriend’s chest and acted adorably. Why does Yvette not react at all? Andrew ispletely unreliable and the books he rmends don’t work!
Jeremiah restarted the car without any change in his expression.
Jeremiah went to the kitchen after he came back to the vi.
Yvette went upstairs to take a shower. When she came back downstairs, the table was already set with fried chicken wings. lobster, and milkshakes.
After cooking, Jeremiah changed into casual home clothes, which made him seem less sharp.
He was standing by the window talking on the phone. His tall and upright silhouette was prominent. Hearing the footsteps. on the stairs, he turned around with a deep gaze. His eyes quietlynded on Yvette.
Yvette was wearing an oversized white shirt. The shirt hung loosely, paired with baggy shorts, and the sleeves were casually rolled up. It fit her surprisingly well.
His gaze traveled down to her feet. He noticed she wasn’t wearing any shoes. Jeremiah walked over, grabbed a pair of her slippers from the entrance while still on the phone, and went to Yvette.
Yvette obediently lifted her foot, Jeremiah put the slippers on her and gently said, “Always wear slippers when youe down. It’s not good for girls to be barefoot; the floor is too cold
The chattering voice on the phone suddenly stopped, which was followed by a scream.
The voice was loud enough that even Yvette could hear it.

“Jeremiah, have you and that little girl already moved in together? Oh my gosh! Is this true? I can hardly believe that you live together. My son is really living with Yvette, just like his old mom back in the day. If I hadn’t been so assertive with your dad. he would still be shy. Jeremiah, you’re amazing. Hurry up, when are youing back to Betrico? Bring Yvette home for dinner.”
Jeremiah held the phone away from his ear his mom’s voice was too overwhelming.
“Mom…just as he was about to speak, the voice on the other end of the line interrupted him.
“Mom? What mom? Listen, son, you need to bring her home sooner rather thanter. I trust my son’s judgment, so once you bring her home, it’s settled. If she stays around too long, she might get fed up with your cold and unexciting personality and leave. To stop that from happening, we’ll use the family angle. Just bring her back, and I’ll treat her so well that she won’t want to leave, Aurora said.
Jeremiah sighed helplessly, “Mom, aren’t you tired of saying so much?”
Aurora answered. “Not at all. By the way, I heard from your grandpa that that girl is quite young. I wonder what she likes. Houses? Cars? Jewelry? Antiques? Designer brands? Forget it, I’ll just prepare everything. My estate in Mysonna, valued at 1 billion dors, can be her wee gift. No, that’s a bit too cheap. Ill add some of my jewelry collection, and then it’s perfect. Alright, that’s settled. And where’s your wedding house going to be? I need to start designing the nursery, right? Thinking about it, I’m quite busy. Does your wife prefer boys or girls? I like girls. I wouldn’t want a moody kid like you, who alwayses with a serious face, no fun.”
Yvette slipped one hand into her pocket, with her gaze steady. She heard everything clearly
She chuckled sofily and made a gesture to Jeremiah, walked past him, and sat down at the dining table.
With her leg crossed and chin resting on her hand, she looked directly at Jeremiah.
Jeremiah looked at her and calmly said into the phone, “Mom, I heard everything you said.”
The breathing on the other end of the phone became heavier, and after a few seconds of silence, the voice turned mechanical. “Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavable. Please try againter.
Then the call was disconnected. Even Jeremiah didn’t expect his mom to pull such a strange stunt. For a moment, he was stunned.
Even though Yvette was a bit further away, she heard everything clearly.
She smirked, flipped her hair, and crossed her legs.
She took a sip of her banana milkshake. With a faint smile, she said. “Auntie is way more interesting than you.”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Jeremiah walked over to the table, sat next to Yvette, put on gloves, and started peeling lobsters for her. He did it slowly. Even his fingers, with their distinct joints, looked attractive while peeling these greasy things. In just a few seconds, he’d peeled them and ced them on her te.
His deep-set eyes were thoughtful, and the sharp lines of his profile were more pronounced.
“Do you want to meet my family?” he asked.
While munching on shrimp, Yvette was ying with her phone replying to a text from Charles: [Book a flight to Seacrity.] She left in a hurry without notifying Charles, leaving him stranded in Mysonna, who was still hiding from Braydon’s pursuit Hearing Jeremiah’s words, Yvette lifted her gaze and gave him a nonchnt nce.
She replied casually, “Sure, I have to go to Betrico the day after tomorrow to take care of some things,”
The invitation from James was scheduled for five dayster.
Yvette nned to meet someone before then, and she had more than enough time to visit the Chavez family.
After all, interesting people were always worth of taking the time to meet.
Jeremiah didn’t expect her to say yes.
He was just asking casually, and it didn’t really matter if she didn’t agree. It was just a matter of time, so there was no rush.
Yvette’s easy agreement took him by surprise.
Jeremiah’s lips curled into a smile.
He said, ‘Okay, I’ll set things up and we can head back together. I have my parents and grandpa at home, and there are no swarms of rtives. So rx. It’s just a simple meal.”
Not just anyone could join the Chavez family as rtives.
Jeremiah’s girlfriend didn’t have to deal with those distant rtives at all.
When Yvette heard that, she looked up, put away her phone, and leaned backzily. “Jeremiah, you’re really growing on me. What am I supposed to do about that?” she asked.
