Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 25

When Samuel took Yvonne and left, a beautiful figure rushed out of the main entrance of the department store. She scanned her surroundings, then went back i n disappointment when she did not see a certain silhouette.

The next day at around 3am, Samuel was sleeping soundly on the floor. Then Yvonne's phone abruptly rang.

Few people would call in the middle of the night. Yvonne stared at the display screen, silent.

"Don't tell me that you haven't slept yet because you're still trying on clothes," Samuel said resignedly.

She was too lazy to hold the phone to her ear, so she turned the loudspeaker on. An ear-piercing shriek that belonged to Linda came from the phone.

"Yvonne, I'm in love! I finally found my Prince Charming.”

Yvonne could not help but roll her eyes. "It's in the middle of the night," she said. "Are you nuts?"

Sob sob. Linda suddenly pretended to cry. Yvonne was too tired to respond to that.

"I shouldn't have gone to the toilet yesterday. I wouldn't have let my Prince Charming go otherwise.

"Do you know what the crowd was fussing over

yesterday? Apparently, it was a piano-playing cutie. Did you know that that man is now trending all over ever since a short video of him was uploaded? I have t o find him. I'll dig him out!"

"What video? What cutie? It’s an unholy hour, and you're still not asleep," Yvonne said. "What on earth do you want from me? If you don't speak up, I'll hang up and go to sleep.”

"Hold on. I'll send the video to you."

A short video was quickly sent to her phone. Yvonne played it. She only saw the back of a man sitting before a piano. Sure, he played pretty well, but Yvonne did not feel particularly moved by the performance. 1

"This must be some ruse planned by an online celebrity," Yvonne said. "Since when were you so irrational?"

"No way, no way. I have to find him and marry him. He’s my Prince Charming. Only someone like him is a match for a fairy princess like me." Linda was like a madwoman; she had watched the video on repeat for a t least a hundred times.

"Go to sleep. There may be another video posted in a few more days. An online celeb like this will definitely make his appearance one day." Yvonne did not wish t o entertain her crazy best friend any further.

"Yvonne, I'm worried that he has a girlfriend. Even worse... What if he's married? I'll lose all hope in life..."

She did not even finish her sentence when Yvonne hung up on her without sympathy.

Samuel quietly eavesdropped on their conversation. H e never thought that a moment of impulse would garner this much attention.

Like always, they got up at six on the dot. After the two finished their morning jog, ate their breakfast, and returned home, Samuel sent Yvonne to her office.

Being a project manager now, Yvonne's workload had grown a lot bigger than before. As Samuel rode his electric bike away, she subconsciously cast a glance a t him.

This figure...

Yvonne shook her head. Was it not normal to think that it was familiar? It had already been three years. How could she not be familiar with that sight?

During her lunch break, Linda called her again. The woman was utterly infatuated by the online celebrity from yesterday.

"Yvonne, my soul is no longer in my body. Please save me,” Linda said.
