Eleanore and her group looked as if they had seen ghosts. They thought they had a protectoring, only to face disappointment once again. The scene immediately turned into a wailing chorus of despair. Each one, with painted faces, was wailing and pleading with the Chavez family to let them go, Jeremiah nced at Darnell.
Darnell, quick to catch on, immediately directed his men to escort everyone to the police station.
It took ten minutes for the police to load all the crying and shouting women into the patrol cars.
During this time, Jeremiah, Yvette, Aurora, and Clifford all had indifferent expressions. It was surprisingly unanimous.
Standing not far away, Darnell couldn’t help but be taken aback by their expressions. He found the appearance of these four was really something. Even celebrities couldn’tpare.
After seeing everyone off, Darnell went back to the dessert shop. Just as he reached the entrance, he heard Clifford’s voice. “I’ve told you. Don’t handle things like hitting people by yourself Look. Your hand is a little swollen. Does it hurt? Do you want me to blow on it?”
These words made Darnell feel embarrassed. He felt like he wouldn’t need to eat anything for three days. He thought, I’ve never thought that Clifford, who usually seemed so serious and stern, would act like this in front of Aurora. You can never judge a book by its cover.
Darnell summoned his courage to reenter the dessert shop, pretending he hadn’t heard what Clifford just said. He kept a respectful demeanor. “Mr. Clifford Chavez, Mr. Jeremiah Chavez, everyone has been taken to the station. Do you have any further instructions?”
Clifford politely said Darnell, “Thank you, Darnell. The Chavez family will send someone to the station to assist with the follow-up work.”
Darnell was ttered to see such a gentle expression from, Clifford. It was rare for Clifford to show this kind of kindness. “Alright, Mr. Clifford Chavez. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the station.”
After Darnell excused himself, only Yvette, Jeremiah, Aurora, and Clifford were left in the dessert shop.
Clifford nced at Yvette with a hint of curiosity. He asked Aurora, “Is this your friend?” He knew Jeremiah wouldn’t have any female friends to ask about, so he didn’t bother to ask him.
Aurora nodded. “This is the pretty girl I just met. Her name is Yvette. She came to help me in a fight, and if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much today.”
Aurora nodded. “This is the pretty girl I just met. Her name is Yvette. She came to help me in a fight, and if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much today.”
Charlie gave Yvette a friendly smile. The Chavez family rule was that he must like whoever Aurora liked.
Charlie didn’t look down on Yvette for her simple clothes. “Hello, Yvette. I’m Charlie, Aurora’s husband. Thanks for today.”
Yvette nodded politely, her voice calm and her appearance stunning. “Hi, I’m Yvette.”
Their conversation was very polite and formal.
Standing next to them, Jeremiah lowered his gaze, his thin lips barely moving. “Can I say something?”
Yvette, Clifford, and Aurora all turned to look at Jeremiah. It was obvious no one wanted him to speak.
Jeremiah just stood there-silently.
Aurora took Yvette’s hand, and took the opportunity to touch it. She found Yvette’s skin was soft and smooth. She really liked her and thought about taking her home. Then she suddenly pulled Clifford aside, and they whispered about something.
Jeremiah seized the moment to stand next to Yvette and gently reached for her hand. He wore a look of grievance. “Since I came in, you’ve only looked at me five times.”
Yvette paused, lifted one side of her mouth into a slight smirk, and raised an eyebrow. “Yeah.”
Jeremiah gazed into her dark, bright eyes and went on speaking, “My mom held your hand for three minutes earlier, she even took the opportunity to rub your palm.”
Yvette looked rxed and nced at Jeremiah, who seemed to be quite upset. She tugged at her lips. “Jeremiah, don’t be so jealous.”
Just as Jeremiah was about to say something, Aurora came back, pulling Clifford along. She looked thoughtfully at the positions of Jeremiah and Yvette. She thought, ‘Did I knock myself out in the fight? Why do these two seem much closer now? It should be my delusion.
Jeremiah coughed to get Aurora’s attention. “Go ahead.”
Aurora came back to her senses. She immediately turned to Yvette with excitement. “After discussing, Yvette, it seems like fate has brought us together. I feel we are destined to be great sisters. How about we be sworn sisters? You’ll be my little sister. What do you say?”
After saying this, Aurora cheekily pointed at Jeremiah. “If you agree, you’ll get a handsome nephew for free! Imagine how proud you’d feel taking him out.”
let her be. Judging
Jeremiah didn’t say anything at the side. As long as Aurora was happy, that was all that mattered. Over the years, due to his status, Aurora really didn’t have many friends, so it was rare to find someone she liked. So Clifford from Yvette’s face, she seemed to be a good kid.
He looked at Yvette. His tone was formal. “Don’t worry. Our Chavez family will treat you like family, we definitely won’t let you down.”
Yvette lifted her gaze, ncing at Aurora, then at Jeremiah. There was a hint of a faint smile in her eyes. “Okay.”
Aurora joyfully hugged Yvette, almost spinning around in excitement.
Chavez watched Aurora with affection.
The three of them looked incredibly harmonious and warm, and no one noticed Jeremiah’s stiffness.
Jeremiah saw the scene, narrowed his sharp eyes, and gritted his teeth, He knew Yvette was gonna y dumb until the end. So he said, “I disagree.”
All three of them turned to look at Jeremiah.
Clifford frowned. He thought Jeremiah would definitely have some opinions about Yvette being his aunt. So he spoke up, “Don’t upset your mom. You have a girlfriend already. You can’t prevent your mom from making girlfriends.”
Aurora pouted and quickly tried tofort Jeremiah. “Jeremiah, whether you like little Yvette or not, I understand. Just ept it. Objecting is pointless. At best, we won’t make you call her “Auntie.””
After saying that, she turned and shed Yvette an apologetic smile. “Hey, Yvette. Don’t mind him. He is just like that with a quirky temper and isn’t the most likable. But it’s alright. He has a girlfriend and isn’t home much. When youe over, I’ll have him move out. So no worries. He won’t bother you.”
Jeremiah stared at the three of them, mainly focusing on Yvette, and slowly began to speak, “I’m here to find my girlfriend. Her name is Yvette.”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Aurora reflexively replied without even thinking, “I know you’re here to find your girlfriend. You don’t like sweets. Your girlfriend’s name is Yvette. What a coincidence!”
After finishing her sentence, Aurora nced at Yvette. “Yvette, what a coincidence! Jeremiah’s girlfriend has the same name as you. It’s fate!”
Aurora realized something was off only after she spoke. She suddenly widened her eyes in shock, frozen in ce. It took her half a minute to process it. She pinched Clifford’s arm. “Honey, Jeremiah said his girlfriend’s name is Yvette.”
Clifford had already figured out that it was a big misunderstanding. He thought, ‘Aurora’s girlfriend is actually Jeremiah’s girlfriend. What a coincidence!’ Enduring the pain in his arm, he said to Aurora, “Silly, they’re the same person.”
Aurora suddenly let out a loud scream. She stepped back two paces and hid behind Clifford.
