Yvette didn't expect her mother to have such a good sense of smell.
If Lisa discovered what had happened just now, there would be trouble. Yvette felt too ashamed to face her.
Yvette stood up in a hurry and said, "Mom, you should go to bed early. I am going to the toilet."
As Yvette was about to leave, Lisa stood up with a serious expression. She had to have a good talk with Yvette. Lisa reached out and grabbed Yvette's hand, "Yvette, I want to talk properly with you."
"Mom, I'll talk to you after I go to the toilet." Yvette had to discard the paper towels, or else, she would be restless.
"Alright," Lisa said and let go of her. She couldn't use force on her daughter.
When Yvette reached the bathroom in the room, she sighed with relief.
Lisa frowned outside. She sniffed the air and felt that there was something wrong with the odor she had just smelled. Yvette had been downstairs for about ten minutes. Could it be...
Lisa was furious at this thought. She was an experienced woman and she had suddenly realized what the smell was. She really wanted to go into Yvette's room to confront her. Perhaps, she could find the source of the smell. However, Lisa felt that their relationship would be ruined if she did so, thus, she hesitated and sat down again.
"Yvette, he is the son of the person who killed your father. How could you..." Lisa sighed. When she came here, she thought that there was a possibility that she could persuade Yvette. But now, it seemed like it was impossible.
Lisa had underestimated the relationship between them. They had lived together for so many years, so it was not going to be easy separating them.
However, Lisa didn't like Chuck at all. How could her daughter be so obsessed with him? Lisa sighed repeatedly.
Soon, Yvette came out after taking a shower and sat down beside Lisa. What else could Lisa say? It would be useless to say anything, and it would ruin the relationship between the mother and daughter who had just met.
There was a heavy silence.
Facing her mother, Yvette felt guilty over what had just happened. The two of them stayed silent for a few minutes. Lisa then sighed, "Yvette, get some rest."
Lisa got up and went back to the room. Yvette sighed with relief. When she returned to her room, her mobile phone rang. It was a message from Chuck, "Honey, I have arrived at the hotel. Are you asleep?"
Yvette felt at ease and replied, "I'm getting ready to sleep."
"Honey, I miss you so much," Chuck replied.
"You're thinking about it again, aren't you? Just now, my mother almost discovered what we did. You got me into trouble." After Yvette sent this message, Chuck seemed to be dumbfounded. Yvette could not help but laugh. After a long while, she was finally amused and she cracked a wry smile. Her husband must be stunned.
"It's okay. My mother didn't discover anything. She just smelled something unusual. I explained it to her, and she didn't suspect anything," Yvette went on to reply.
Chuck was indeed stunned. After all, it was embarrassing enough when the elders knew about this kind of thing. Moreover, Lisa disliked him from the very beginning and it would be worse if she found out. She might even confront him directly. What was he supposed to do by then? Fortunately, Yvette had explained it away.
Chuck heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hubby, go to bed early. You're going to school tomorrow," Yvette replied.
He replied, "Okay." Chuck then put down his phone, at ease, and slept.
Yvette's eyes were gloomy. She thought, "I really want to go to school. My goal after graduating from university was to become a teacher, but that's not possible anymore. See you, my dear students..."
Yvette sighed.
When Yvette got up the next morning, she went to prepare breakfast. Lisa and her bodyguard didn't sleep the whole night. Lisa felt that she had to find somewhere else to stay, and Yvette's cousin must have started to hunt for her already. How should she escape from him? This was a huge problem.
Lisa's basic idea was to make Yvette grow stronger. She was ready to train Yvette and improve her fighting skills so that she could defend herself.
When Lisa saw Yvette coming out of her room, she told her right away. Yvette had no objection. She also felt that she was too weak. Previously, she had almost died at Damon's hands. This family of hers was cunning. If she had no strength, she may die at any time.
