Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 431 - Bab 440

After shutting the office door, Yvette turned back and took a seat next to Jean. She tidied up the sketches Jean had arranged."Jean, did you date Mr. Page in the past or something?" she asked.There were rumors circulating about Jean and Emmett's past relationship, after all.However, Yvette was not entirely convinced that Jean had ever been involved with Emmett.Once Jean was done arranging the sketches, she turned on her tablet and said calmly, "It was ages ago. I've almost completely forgotten about it."Hearing Jean's response, surprise flashed in Yvette's eyes.Very quickly, Yvette smiled and said, "Why is it that you're always surrounded by high-quality men? Apart from Toby, I don't think I've ever had a single decent guy stick around my life."Jean smiled when she heard Yvette. "Having too many romantic interests around isn't necessarily a good thing sometimes. Besides, I've only had two," she said.Both of which didn't end well, but she didn't add that."With Mr. Jaco

Yvette expressed her concerns in a serious tone, "Toby, don't forget that Jean has a son. Are you sure you don't mind?"Given that Toby had never dated anyone before, it meant that he likely had high standards when it came to his potential partner.Yvette was worried that Dorian could be an issue."I've known about her kid for a while now," Toby replied without hesitation, indicating that Dorian's existence wasn't an issue for him.Yvette was surprised by his response. She affectionately patted Toby's shoulder and said, "I knew you had good taste."Toby pushed her hand away, saying, "Get your paws off of me. I need to drive."Meanwhile, Jean arrived at the school to pick Dorian up. Just as she arrived at the entrance, she saw Tyler leave with their son.She unfastened her seatbelt immediately and rushed to catch up."Dorian!" she called out.Upon hearing her voice, Tyler stopped in his tracks.His gaze slightly darkened as he watched Jean take Dorian's hand.Dorian sensed th

Upon hearing Jean's words, derision flickered in Tyler's expression."You've definitely become bolder after getting to know Toby Jacobs. What's happened? Did he give you the confidence to challenge me this way?" he retorted.Jean frowned slightly at Tyler's mention of Toby. She had an impassive look on her face."What's the matter? We were together for so many years, yet you couldn't give me anything. Now that someone else can, does it upset you?" she replied in a calm tone.Tyler's expression shifted drastically upon hearing that.After Jean was done, she avoided looking at him. She merely continued calmly, "My self-confidence and courage aren't gifts from other people. I just don't want things to be like the past. I used to always overthink things and ended up losing out on so much."Dorian gently tugged at Jean's hand and said softly, "Mom, you should head home first. Be careful on your drive back."Nodding, Jean walked away. She didn't glance back at Tyler at all and appeare

Esme naturally wanted to seize the opportunity she had at this moment.Jean's expression darkened. She headed straight to the hospital after getting her car from the garage.Inside the hospital, Lilian noticed Dorian's strong aversion to Esme.Lilian approached him with a smile on her face. Then, she glared disapprovingly at Esme and said in a stern voice, "Children can distinguish between good and evil. He knows how you've been treating him. I can tell that he doesn't like you at all, so you'd better step aside."Seeing that Lilian was going to try holding his hand, Dorian immediately pulled his hand back.Esme saw that Dorian didn't particularly like Lilian either. She had a smug look on her face as she said, "It seems like he doesn't like you either."Lilian glanced at the smug Esme indifferently and said in a low voice, "Feelings can be nurtured. At least I have a chance to get him to like me. You have no chance at all."Esme's expression changed upon hearing this.Lilian s

Upon hearing Tyler's request for Dorian to stay, Jean frowned slightly. Discontent flickered in her eyes.At this moment, Dorian tugged on Jean's hand and said comfortingly, "Mom, you can head home now. I want to stay with Dad."Seeing the determination in Dorian's eyes, Jean nodded and left him in the ward with Tyler.Coleen and Judy followed suit as they exited the ward.Lilian had thought about insisting on staying, but Coleen shot her a cold glare."You have to leave too," Coleen said.Lilian smiled politely and walked out of the ward.Judy took a seat in a nearby chair. She looked incredibly anxious as she asked in a worried tone, "Oh, what kind of damned curse was put upon the Larsons?"Coleen took a seat next to Judy and comforted her. "The doctor said that it's nothing too serious. He just needs proper rest to get better. Mom, your health isn't the best right now. You shouldn't worry about Tyler so much," Coleen said.Sighing, Judy replied, "How can I not worry?"Lili
