Chapter 45: I’ll Go to Your Home Tonight

Frank didn’t know what to say.

Digging your own grave!

He said stubbornly, "So what if I dated anyone when I was young? I was young and promising. Why couldn’t I have a few admirers?"

"Bah," Yesmina said sarcastically, "suit yourself. Yvonne is my daughter. It’s none of your business who she likes to be with!"

"Hey!" Frank was angry seeing her going against him. "You are her mother. How can you be so irresponsible? What if one day she really falls into a trap? Do you want to watch her get hurt?"

"Well, you’re talking about Mr. Leinster, aren’t you?" Yesmina snorted. "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him. He’s rich, capable, and handsome. He’s good to Yvonne, too. I like such a man. He’s much better than you when you were young."

Yesmina actually said that Zachary was better than him. This undoubtedly got on his nerves.

"What are you talking about? Is he as handsome as me? You like such a man? Let me tell you, he is 10 years older than Yvonne! An old man!"

Yvonne was rendered speechless.

Mr. Leinster was 10 years older than her, but he couldn’t be called an "old man", could he?

At least... sometimes he wasn’t at all.

For example, in bed.

He was really energetic...

Thinking of this, Yvonne blushed.

"I’m not having this conversation anymore. I’m going back to my room to finish my homework."

"What? Didn’t I do this for you!" Frank was angry when he saw that. "I don’t care. Whether you are willing or not, you must go and see Mr. Levin the day after tomorrow! If you don’t like him, there are Mr. Morris, Mr. Lee, Mr. Chambers..."

Yvonne listened to her father’s roar downstairs and her head was about to explode!

She slammed the room shut, and the world finally became quieter.

Downstairs, Yesmina elbowed Frank.

"Look at you, you just drove her away."

He snorted and shook his foot. "She doesn’t know when she should stop."

"Forget it. You’re stubborn."

Yesmina knew that even if she continued, she would gain nothing out of him. Her daughter was gone, and she didn’t want to eat with this lousy man.

She picked up her Hermes bag and left haughtily.

"Leave even before finishing your meal?"

Frank was anxious. Seeing that she wasn’t going to change her mind, he said angrily.

"You women are so unreasonable!"

<What’s so good about that Zachary Leinster? Even my wife and daughter are

obsessed with him...

Bah, what wife? She’s not my wife...>

However, when he thought of this, he couldn’t help but imagine another scene. If Yvonne really married Zachary... wouldn’t Zachary have to call him dad? "Cough, cough..."

A mouthful of rice stuck in his throat and he couldn’t help coughing.

Hearing the cough, the servant came out worriedly.

"Mr. Taylor, you don’t like the food?"

"It’s none of your business."

When he thought of that poker- faced brat who had been competing with him for so many years calling him dad, he felt both wonderful and excited.

...

Since he mentioned it last time, Yvonne had been subconsciously avoiding him.

She was afraid that one day he would ask her to go on a blind date.

But even so, Yvonne still didn’t manage to escape a phone call from him. "Hello? Has school ended today?"

"Ah? Dad, it has. But I have a rehearsal tonight—"

"That’s good. I’ve asked Mr. Glover to pick you up at the school gate. Let’s have dinner tonight."

"Who’ll be there?!" Yvonne was extremely vigilant. "Ahem, just people we know. You, I, and Mr. Zellweger..." Yvonne would never believe that.

But her father had said that Mr. Glover was at the door. He must be here to stop her.

"Find a chance to slip away," she thought.

Frank booked a table at Butterfly Club.

Yvonne came straight after school and did not dress up. She was wearing flat white shoes, and her hair was tied into a bun.

The legs under the jeans were straight and slender, and the white T-shirt made her a really energetic college student.

As soon as she entered, Yvonne saw that people at other tables had already been eating.

She looked around, waiting for an opportunity to escape. At this moment, she saw someone familiar.

"Mr. Leinster... What else do you like to do besides work?"

Behind two delicate bamboo trees, the man’s profile looked elegant and calm.

Zachary held a teacup. When he thought of how serious Yvonne was when she was writing in his office, he said, "Teaching."

"Teaching?"

Julia Watkins was a little surprised.

Yvonne saw Julia. She was a woman with delicate features. She had a good taste in dressing and looked like a lady.

Yvonne heard her say, "Where do you usually teach? The students you teach must be excellent and obedient."

"Her?" The man raised his eyebrows. "She’s smart, but she’s anything but obedient."

Hearing this, Yvonne instantly flew into a rage!

He actually went on a date with another woman!

And from the looks of it, it was most likely a blind date!

When she was forced by her father into a blind date, she tried to escape. Why hadn’t he told her that he was going on a blind date with a beautiful woman? Why did he even speak ill of her?

She was so angry that she turned around and was about to leave.

However, because she was too anxious and angry, she did not see the stairs behind her.

Yvonne exclaimed and fell straight down.

Next to her, an expensive piece of bamboo fell to the ground and smashed into a thousand pieces.

Everyone in the restaurant immediately looked in her direction. Yvonne stumbled and was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, an arm firmly supported her.

"Thank you."

Yvonne felt a little embarrassed.

"You’re welcome."

His voice was mellow, and there was a fresh fragrance.

Yvonne looked up at him, her eyes clearly filled with amazement.

What... a handsome boy.

If Zachary was cold and resolute, then the boy in front of her... or the man was handsome.

His skin was very fair, his eyes were clear and beautiful. He was half a head taller than her, not as tall as Zachary, but he still looked tall.

The most important thing was that he had a scholarly and innocent air, which inexplicably made people feel that he was a very gentle boy!

"Yvonne Taylor?"

Finn Levin said with a smile, "Sorry, I’m late."

"Uh..."

Yvonne glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was not the appointed time yet. "It’s okay. I just arrived."

"Are your feet okay?"

"Yes..."

They were a perfect match in both appearance and aura!

They just met today, but when they stood together, people felt that they were a match made in heaven.

Not far away, when Zachary, who was behind two green bamboos, saw this scene, his face suddenly became gloomy.

...

"That boy is so handsome!"

"Yeah, he doesn’t look very old."

"A modern person has a fairy-like ancient temperament. That girl is very beautiful and they look like a good match."

"I feel like I’m watching a romance drama."

There were some people discussing in the restaurant.

Julia certainly saw it, but she didn’t know the relationship between Zachary and Yvonne. In order to find something to talk about, she just smiled gently.

"It’s true that children grow better-looking now."

He didn’t say anything.

She continued, "The boy just now must have had a good upbringing. Must have come from a good family."

This sentence completely enraged him.

"Sorry, I have something to attend to. Excuse me."

After that, he signed on a receipt. Before Julia could recover from the shock, he left.

His expression was gloomy.

He walked straight towards the private room of Yvonne and Finn.

Before they entered the room, a figure blocked their way when they were about to open the door.

Finn had been studying abroad since he was a child. Although he was not familiar with the famous families in the country, he could still tell at a glance that the man in front of him was of high status.

"Who are you looking for, sir?"

Zachary ignored him and asked Yvonne coldly.

"Who is he?"

"He’s my dad’s friend’s son. Dad asked me to meet him."

Yvonne said.

Although she was not interested in Finn, she didn’t want trouble.

The Levin Family.

Zachary suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard Mr. Levin mention it the last time he saw him.

"Your dad is Jeremy Levin?"

"Yes, I’m Finn Levin."

Zachary ignored him and continued to look at Yvonne. He said briefly, "You know what to do."

Yvonne was in a dilemma.

"You are...?" Even though Finn had not recognized the lord of Hiltonan, Zachary Leinster, he could still sense that Zachary and Yvonne were related in some way.

"Ha."

Zachary couldn’t be bothered to answer the question. "Yvonne, tell him yourself."

Yvonne blushed and lowered her head.

Although it was shameless to deny their relationship, her father asked her to date Finn today.

In a while, she would explain to Finn alone that she already had someone she liked.

If she were to say that she had already been dating Zachary now, it would likely affect the relationship between the Taylor and Levin Families. They would think that Frank was untrustworthy as he introduced an already taken daughter to the Levin Family. They would feel that the Taylor Family looked down on them.

So she said, "This... is my uncle."

As soon as the words came out, to say Zachary looked horrible and cold was an understatement.

If looks could kill! However, she subconsciously looked sideways to avoid him. "Mr. Leinster, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll explain it to you later," she thought. "So she has such a young uncle. You must be well established." Finn stretched out his hand, but Zachary did not respond.

He took a step forward, leaned to Yvonne, and coldly whispered a few words in Yvonne’s ear.

"Just you wait. I’ll go to your home tonight."

Yvonne didn’t know what to say.

"Miss Taylor, let’s get in."

"... Yes."

During the entire meal, Yvonne was a little absent-minded.

Although Zachary had left, his words made her uncomfortable. What did he mean, going to her home? What on earth was he going to do?

"Miss Taylor, you don’t like the food?"

Finn saw that she was distracted and asked gently.

"Oh, it’s delicious."

Finn looked at the already cold steak on her plate and said to the waiter next to him.

"Go get a new one, medium."

"Okay."

Yvonne was a little surprised. "How did you know that I like it medium?"

"Have you forgotten? I once saw you during a visit to your house when I was a child. At that time, you liked your steak medium."

Yvonne had liked to try new things out since childhood. She started having medium-cooked steak when she was very young.

The meal was very delicious, but in addition to eating, she had more important things to say.

Seeing that it was about time, Yvonne spoke in a tactful manner.

"Mr. Levin... In fact, I came here today to tell you something."

"Please, go ahead."

Yvonne put down the cutlery and crossed her hands.

"We came here today, both fully aware that our fathers seem to want us to date."

Finn nodded gently. "Yes."

"You’re very nice. Just like what Dad said, you’re indeed a young talent, but... I already have someone I like. I’m afraid..."

Yvonne did not continue but looked at the man’s reaction.

Finn still smiled lightly. Even at this time, he still made her comfortable.

"I understand.

"You’re straightforward and dare to do what you want. In fact, before we met, I knew you would be my type.

"Though people don’t say something like ’I like you’ the first time they meet, if it’s you, I would like to try to date you," Finn said, "but, you said that you already have someone you like. I’m sorry, but is he the ’uncle’ at the door just now?"

"How do you know?"

He smiled faintly.

...

Although he had never been in a relationship and had been studying abroad, never socializing with people at home, he, who studied business management, was naturally talented at discerning the atmosphere between people.

Only then did she realize that she had had a slip of the tongue. Frowning, she explained, "Actually, he’s not my uncle... He’s Zachary Leinster of the Leinster Group."

Zachary Leinster.

Even if he had never met domestic big shots, he should have heard of the name.

"So he’s from the Leinster Family."

Finn thoughtfully swirled his wine.

"So... Mr. Levin, I’m sorry. I don’t want to lie to you... but I dare not tell my father about our relationship. So please keep this secret for me."

Yvonne’s sincere tone and look surprised him, and then he still gently said.

"Okay.

"But, Miss Taylor, have you ever thought that the Taylor and Leinster Groups haven’t been on good terms these years? They are going in opposite directions in business and development. Since you’re born into a noble family, you should know the taboo of a marriage between families better than me."

Yvonne was well aware of this.

First, people from rich and powerful families wouldn’t marry their competitors.

Although they seemed to be "friendly" to each other on the surface, deep down, they were competitors.

They usually said friendship before competition. Nevertheless, in reality, competition had always been the most important.
