Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 31

Linda's pent-up anger was boiling after seeing Yara covering her mouth and giggling sarcastically.

"What's wrong with the twenty-second? Does that day even represent anything?" Linda asked.

Yara deliberately used that to mock Yvonne, but even i f Linda took over the conversation, Yara would certainly not let go of the opportunity to continue ridiculing Yvonne.

"It doesn't signify anything, but this is the sheer difference. After all, it happened on the same day, and even if I don't say anything, I can't stop outsiders from remembering the twenty-second from three years ago, " Yara said.

"Plenty of things happened on that day but all you can do is watch yearningly. Does it even have anything to do with you?" Linda retorted.

Yara snorted coldly and said, "I don’t really care whether or not it has anything to do with me. At least I don't have such a useless man. You can’t even begin t o imagine how rich my future husband’s family will b e."

Linda heard from Yvonne about those betrothal gifts being delivered. It was a fine gift indeed, with jade, gold, and cash. The other party's family background was certainly of epic proportions, and Yara no doubt

had the best chance out of anyone else.

"Haven't you heard of the phrase 'the wife of a rich man is never truly free'? You're just waiting to live as a n unhappy and resentful wife," Linda shot back.

Yara did not take offense with those words at all. Instead, she said triumphantly, "So what if I'm an unhappy and resentful wife? I'd rather be a resentful wife in a house full of luxury brands than marry a poor man who has to rely on a woman to get by."

Yvonne could not listen to it anymore and said coldly," If there's nothing else, Yara, you can leave now."

"The twenty-second is going to be a good day, but for some people, it’s an absolute tragedy." Yara took the document and walked out while saying that. Her tone was exceedingly contemptuous.

After Yara left, Linda looked at the sour-faced Yvonne and comforted her, "Yvonne, don’t listen to that nosy woman's nonsense. She's the kind with a vile mouth."

Yvonne smiled bitterly and said, "She’s right. I sank into the depths of despair that day three years ago, but now...I've already gotten over it and accepted the situation."

"I wonder which bastard insisted on choosing the twenty-second. Isn't this a deliberate jab at you?" Linda huffed and puffed angrily. It was such a touchy time and would inevitably cause Cloud City's gossipy women to bring up Yvonne's marriage. By then, people would make comparisons with her yet again.

"That's their planning. The twenty-second doesn't belong to me. How could you say that it's a deliberate jab at me?" Yvonne smiled bitterly. Her best friend just had to make remarks that aimed at her instead of at someone else.

Linda merely said those words because she was angry. She knew that the incident could not be directed at Yvonne, but people were bound to gossip about Yvonne when the time came.

"Forget it. It's been three years anyway. Your heart must've toughened up greatly already. Even if someone deliberately brings up what happened three years ago, just ignore it," Linda said.

Yvonne nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can withstand any attack. I really do think that my life is very good now."

At the end of her working day, a red Ferrari was parked next to Samuel's Audi.

The man standing next to the Ferrari might not look a s good as Samuel, but in a society where cash is king, a Ferrari was better than any good looks.

"Bro, are you here to pick up your girlfriend from work?" the man asked Samuel.

"Wife," Samuel replied. He knew that man because whenever he silently watched Yvonne get off work during the past three years, the man appeared there frequently too. Besides, the person was also waiting for Yvonne.

The man's name was Peter Yardley and he had admired Yvonne for a long time. He did not give up even after Yvonne got married because he knew that Yvonne was married to a useless husband. He once told Yvonne that as long as she was willing to get a divorce, he would remove everything that stood in his way of marrying her and would give her a wedding that would rock the entire city.

"Not bad of you to get married at such a young age. I'm a bit unlucky though. The woman I have my heart set o n is married to a useless guy, but I know that she never allowed that garbage to touch her during the past three years. As long as she’s willing, I’ll marry her at any time," Peter said.

Samuel cocked his eyebrow and said nothing more.

When Yvonne appeared after getting off work, Peter walked enthusiastically to Yvonne's side.

"Yvonne. I’ve made reservations at a restaurant. Come have dinner with me," Peter offered.

Yvonne did not have the slightest affection for Peter. While Peter did like her, she viewed it as unwanted harassment. Peter was famous for being a playboy who went through women as fast as he changed clothes.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough, Peter? I'm already married," Yvonne said.

Peter smiled faintly and said, "That trash isn’t qualified to have you. You also haven't let him touch you in three years and there are no feelings between the two of you. Why must you continue embarrassing yourself?

"I know you’re afraid that Grandmother Sue will disagree, but don't you worry. I guarantee I’ll convince her as long as you agree," Peter said.

"Sorry, my husband came to pick me up." Yvonne walked toward Samuel as soon as she coldly finished her sentence.

Peter was taken aback for a moment. The person who was talking to him earlier turned out to be Yvonne's rubbish husband!
