LOGINIn the end, Yvonne said it out loud.Just as Edwin said, any misunderstandings between them should be addressed directly instead of buried forever.Keeping everything bottled up did neither of them any good—it only widened the distance between them.Some things were better said plainly. If they were, none of this would have spiraled so far.God only knew how much resolve it took for Yvonne to say those words.“So you’ve always thought my feelings were nothing more than a joke to you?”Edwin let out a self-mocking smile as he spoke.He never imagined that, in Yvonne’s eyes, he held so little credibility.He thought that growing up together, all those years they shared, would at least earn him a bit of trust.Now it seemed it meant nothing at all.Yvonne didn’t answer.But her silence alone was already the clearest answer.She knew exactly what kind of person Edwin was.Precisely because they grew up together, she understood his obsession better than anyone.He was someone who would stop
He never expected Yvonne’s attitude toward him to be this unyielding.That alone left Edwin feeling unexpectedly defeated.No matter what, he was still Philip’s youngest son. From childhood to now, countless women threw themselves at him, eager to share his bed.He had seen every kind of beauty there was.The unfortunate part was he fell for Yvonne.And once he fell, he had no intention of walking away. He wouldn’t simply abandon her as if nothing mattered.After all, Yvonne was the one person he liked from his youth until now, unchanged.Edwin believed life was short. Meeting someone you truly loved was rare.That was why he wanted to talk everything through with her instead of letting her grow to despise him.If things really ended like that, Edwin didn’t even know what the point of living would be.Failing to win the woman he loved, only to be met with her outright hatred.“How did I make you angry?” Yvonne scoffed at what he said. “Shouldn’t you be the one who knows that best?”To
He already guessed Yvonne had seen the messages.At this hour, it definitely wasn’t her usual time to sleep.They had known each other for years—each other’s personalities, habits, and routines were all familiar territory.No one could argue with that.After seeing Yvonne’s reply, Edwin didn’t get angry at all. If anything, the smile on his face only deepened.Before Yvonne could even catch her breath, he called her directly.On the other end, Yvonne was still simmering with irritation. When her phone rang, she instantly panicked.She didn’t expect Edwin to be the kind of man who never played by the rules.Couldn’t he at least warn her before calling? She hadn’t even had time to react.He just sprang a call on her out of nowhere.In her flustered annoyance, Yvonne hit accept without meaning to.The next second, Edwin’s low, magnetic voice came through the line.“What’s wrong? Why are you so fired up? Who upset you?”That deliberate innocence made Yvonne even more annoyed.He clearly kn
How could so many things line up so perfectly?Edwin just happened to show up, she nearly got into a car accident, and then, so naturally, he rescued her.The entire chain of events felt almost too smooth.Even Yvonne couldn’t make sense of it herself.To make things worse, Edwin kept sending her messages.She had no idea how to reply.The messages were openly suggestive—something Yvonne could clearly tell. They were both adults; there was no need to beat around the bush about that.But right now, she didn’t even understand what she wanted, let alone what Edwin was trying to do.Thinking that far made her lift a hand and rake it through her hair, messing it up completely.Only when it turned slightly disheveled did she feel a faint sense of relief.Even she couldn’t understand how everything had become so strange.Truth be told, she didn’t want to get entangled with Edwin at all.But fate had a cruel sense of humor—the more she tried to avoid something, the more it pushed her straight
Thinking of that, a deeper sense of regret welled up in Michelle’s heart.But she also knew that no amount of sighing could undo what had already happened. All they could do now was try their best to steer Yvonne back onto the right path.“We’re already an old married couple. What’s the point of talking about honeymoons now?”Before Charles could respond, Michelle spoke again. “Besides, the most important thing right now is dealing with our daughter. Everything else can wait.”When she said this, she looked thoroughly drained.Clearly, nothing mattered more to her at the moment than Yvonne’s situation. Everything else barely registered.“Honey, you’ve really worked hard these days.”Charles said this earnestly—he saw everything clearly.If his wife hadn’t been holding things together, who knew what Yvonne might have become.Over this period, the one who worried the most about Yvonne was Michelle.She had to manage the household while constantly worrying about matters beyond it.That da
Raising a child was never easy to begin with. Now that she was going through this rebellious phase, how could any parent not feel disheartened?No one didn’t want their child to live a better life unless they weren’t fit to be parents at all.But it was clear now that they had to follow Yvonne’s lead. Otherwise, things would only grow more complicated.Having thought it through, Charles felt it was best to let things take their natural course.Rushing in now wouldn’t change the bigger picture.Worse, it might damage their relationship with their daughter.He broke everything down patiently, explaining it bit by bit to Michelle.Once she sorted it out in her mind, she felt noticeably lighter.She finally accepted that Yvonne was no longer a child, and she couldn’t keep controlling her like before.Some things required Yvonne to step up and face them on her own. As parents, it was time for them to loosen their grip.Otherwise, Yvonne would never grow, forever hiding under her parents’ wi
