"Isabelle, why are you only home now..."
Yvonne Shelby was eating fruits while watching television with her legs crossed. She appeared to be having a good time enjoying the moment so she spoke without any courtesy when she heard voices coming from the doorway.
All of a sudden!
She raised her head with a shocked expression flashing past her eyes at once.
The grape in her hand dropped to the coffee table with a splatter.
Yvonne corrected her sitting position rapidly and revealed a shy expression on her face. "Mr. Shaw."
Yvonne felt like she was turning mad soon.
'Oh god, why is Julian Shaw here?'
'Did he see my unkempt and disheveled state?’
'Oh god, oh god, oh god.'
Yvonne's heart was filled with remorse and embarrassment.
'That's Yvonne! She was one of the three little girls back in those years.’ 'This woman should be aware of Little Flower's
identity too.'
Julian took a meaningful glance at her but did not say anything.
Yvonne's entire person became agitated after he glanced at her.
She could not refrain herself from letting her mind wander.
'Why did Julian Shaw suddenly come here?"
'Could it be that...he has taken a fancy to me since earlier? Did he come here on purpose to see me this time?'
The more she thought about it, the more Yvonne found her thoughts to make sense. She could not help blushing. 1
"Mr. Shaw, I..." said Yvonne shyly.
"Yvonne, I was admitted to the hospital and that is why I'm home late." All of a sudden, Isabelle’s fearful voice was heard.
Yvonne could not refrain herself from glaring at Isabelle.
Yvonne thought about how her sister was truly impervious to an obvious situation. Why did she choose to interrupt now!
A disdainful look flashed past Isabelle's eyes upon noticing Yvonne's fully exposed emotions. ’How dare you cast your covetous eyes on Julian, Yvonne. Are
you worthy of him?'
Even though they were siblings, Isabelle despised Yvonne since the start.
Had it not been Yvonne's foolishness and domineeringness that could set off her delicateness, she would have framed Yvonne to death.
"Admitted to the hospital? What happened? Are you injured?" asked Yvonne softly when she remembered that Julian was still around so she could not help suppressing her resentment for Isabelle being oblivious to the situation.
Isabelle chuckled shyly. "It’s not a severe injury, but M r. Shaw insisted on sending me to the hospital and then insisted on sending me home by himself."
As she was speaking, Isabelle took a grateful glance at Julian. "Mr. Shaw, thank you."
"I should,” answered Julian nonchalantly.
Yvonne could not keep the smile on her face anymore. Her entire face was about to become distorted with rage!
'What? Mr. Shaw actually sent Isabelle home?!'
Her sister was a useless cry baby. Which part of her was worthy of Julian’s good grace?
Yvonne had always been selfish and domineering. Even when Isabelle was her younger sister, she could not bear to see Isabelle strike up a relationship with Julian either!
Julian looked around the house. "Your parents aren't home?
Isabelle chuckled softly. "I believe that they’re busy with work. Should I give them a call to ask them to come home?"
