Chapter 274 A New Leash On Life
Quinton had not reached out to Yvette since the test
incident. However, the moment Yvette got word that the Lopezes were
in Kingbourne, she booked their accommodations and planned a leisurely tour for them.
Quinton didn’t have the heart to turn down her kind arrangements. Don’t worry, Grandpa isn’t the stuffy type who’d make a fuss over
formalities.”
Victor had no idea what young people were thinking these days, but the fact that Yvette had not visited him once since her reunion with
the Yates made him dislike her.
Still, Victor wasn’t going to chase Yvette out of the house now that she was here. He maintained his decorum as he addressed his
grandson, “Quinton.”
Quinton stepped forward. “Grandpa, Yvette’s here to see you.”
“I’m afraid I
Victor nodded. He turned to Yvette and said with a smile” won’t be able to stay and chat, Yvette. I’ve got an appointment.”
He then glanced at his good-for-nothing grandson. “Take good care
of our guest.”
Quinton had no idea where Victor was going. Yvette, on the other hand, muttered dejectedly next to him, “I knew Mr. Lopez didn’t like
me.”
Alarmed by her crestfallen remark, Quinton was about to reassure her
when his brother came downstairs.
Abel whistled. “You’re not married into this family, so what does it matter to you whether Grandpa likes you or not? Time to give up the
act, Yvette.”
Abel was already dressed and ready to leave with Victor. He was making his way downstairs when he overheard Yvette playing the victim right after Victor went out the door.
As such, Abel decided to switch back into the role of the cavalier
scion, though it didn’t suit him one bit.
Yvette blushed at the admonishment. She glanced at Quinton and said, “I’m sorry for coming here uninvited. It won’t happen again.” With that, she grabbed her purse and left.
Quinton thought Abel had been too harsh. He wanted to chase after Yvette, but his fear of getting punched by Abel held him back.
Meanwhile, Yvette had only been acting. She didn’t think Quinton would just let her leave. However, she was wrong. He did not come
after her at all.
It wasn’t as if she hadn’t noticed the change in Quinton. He used to worship the ground she walked on, and for every text she sent him, she would receive a dozen replies from him.
Ever since the Yates went bankrupt, Yvette felt Quinton’s feelings for
her had waned.
