Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 264

There was only one way to stop Wilson from making these sarcastic remarks.

Yvette’s beautiful fox–like eyes blinked lightly. Then her pale fingers suddenly grabbed his tie, forcing him to lower his head. The next second, she kissed him, silencing all his words.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Samuel was stunned by what he saw in the rearview mirror. A moment later, he couldn’t help but silently give a thumbs–up in admiration.

Yvette was so bold! NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Wilson’s body tensed as Yvette’s lips brushed against his. He reached out and pulled her onto his lap, deepening the kiss.

Yvette found herself trapped in his embrace. Her delicate fingers pushed against him in resistance. “Stop… We’re going to see Grandma later!”

“Okay, I won’t kiss you anymore.”

Wilson knew Yvette was shy, so he refrained from teasing her further. He buried his head in her neck, trying to calm the heat Yvette had stirred within him. His large hands held her small waist with a fierce grip as if trying to make her a part of him.

Samuel’s eyes widened in the rearview mirror as a brazen thought struck him.

Why did it seem like Wilson was Yvette’s lap dog?

As soon as this thought arose, Samuel shuddered in disgust and raised the partition.

Wilson was the one everyone in Jubilife feared, a real tyrant. How could he possibly be a little lap dog?

Wilson and Yvette were in Martha’s room at the hospital.

“Grandma, I’ll come back in ten days to give you the last acupuncture treatment. Then you can be discharged.”

Yvette retrieved the silver needles and wiped the fine sweat off her forehead. Performing two sets of acupuncture the day before and one the next day had taken a great toll on her energy. Her stamina was also significantly depleted.

Hearing that she could be discharged soon, Martha was very pleased. She patted Yvette’s hand lovingly.

“Yvie, thanks to you, I have recovered so quickly!” she exclaimed. “After taking the medicine you prescribed, I no longer have those occasional bouts of angina.”

Yvette’s voice took on a softer tone as she watched Martha’s delight. “Grandma, with your medicine and one more acupuncture treatment in ten days, we can finally say goodbye to those chest pains.”

“Okay! Good!” Martha nodded obediently. “I’ll always follow your advice, Yvie!”

Samuel was stunned to see her being so obedient. When has Martha ever been this compliant?

It was clear that Yvette had both Wilson and Martha completely under her control.

As this thought occurred, Samuel’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, then all he needed to do was to please Yvette to avoid being sent to Wakara!

“Yvie, what happened to your lips-” Martha stopped halfway through her question, and suddenly, her eyes

gleamed with understanding. She looked at Yvette lovingly and covered her mouth, giggling.

“It’s nothing. 1 get it! I’ve been young and in love too. It’s easy to get carried away by those feelings!”

Even though Wilson had been much more restrained this time, Martha still noticed.

Yvette’s face flushed crimson at Martha’s words. After coaxing Martha to sleep and leaving the hospital room, Wilson hugged her.

“My poor Yvie.”

Seeing the fatigue in Yvette’s eyes, Wilson’s heart ached. He held her close, trying to offer comfort. His long fingers, exquisite in their shape, caressed her waist with a tender touch.

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine after some rest,” Yvette said softly, leaning into his embrace. “Grandma’s health comes first.”

He thought, “I can’t believe how sweet Yvie is…”
