Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Ask Me If You Have Doubts

In the garden.

It was peaceful and quiet, just like it used to be.

But the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward.

Yvette thought about how she had proudly told the fat woman that she liked the man, wanted to seduce him, and said and they were not married, it was natural for them to love each other.

She felt that she was out of her mind.

Why was she so impulsive? Even if she wanted to support this man, she should not have talked nonsense.

It was really embarrassing after all.

She was afraid that the man would be troubled, so she took the initiative to say, "I’m sorry. I was in a hurry just now, so I talked nonsense. Don’t mind, please. I will clarify this if you need..."

Yvette thought of Kali Pruitt. She wondered what the relationship between the two of them was, and whether Lance knew what Kali had said.

Did he know that the person she liked was actually Joseph Wolseley?

Her eyes darkened, "If you want, I can clarify this."

After listening to her explanation, the man whispered, "No, forget it. I don’t mind."

Since he had said that he did not mind, Yvette did not know what to say.

As soon as she looked at the man, she thought of how he had secretly practiced and wanted to stand up.

She became sad and she began to pity this man.

What was wrong with his leg...

She wanted to know, but she really did not know how to ask him.

But on second thought, she knew she should not ask. After all, they had their lovers in the eyes of others.

She should not care for him too much.

She did not want to have an affair with anyone.

"Have a good rest and take good care of yourself."

She could not help saying that. Without saying anything else, she turned around and left.

"Yvette." Lance called her name.

"How’s the baby?" he asked.

Yvette turned her head and said in a choked tone, "They are fine and very cute. Get well soon and you can play with them."

"Well, you must take good care of them."

He had seen the two babies once. It was Marlon Lynn who sent them over when he saw that he was depressed.

He probably wanted to encourage him to be more courageous.

In fact, when Lance knew that he might be completely lame, he had thought about giving up a lot...

Until Marlon came over with the children and said to him, "Look how much the children look like you. You should pull yourself together and protect your children and their mother in the future."

He smiled bitterly. Could I still protect her now?

When he saw that Yvette was about to leave, he turned his wheelchair and said, "I’ll send you home."

Yvette was stunned. She did not expect this.

They walked back together. Yvette could not invite him to see the babies because the they had been secretly sent back to New York for the baby shower.

Much of the evidence pointed to Keith Beckford. He was the one who had hidden Alena Thiel.

They had already made a plan to hold off Keith at the baby shower. If necessary, they could arrest him directly.

The baby shower in New York was different from other places. It was held on the 42nd day after the baby was born.

After the baby was one month old, it would take another 12 days and then the baby shower would be held.

Legend has it that in order to avoid the Son of the Demon who loved to steal baby. As long as the babies could safely escape in these twelve days, they would have no worries for the rest of their lives.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Stephen Parker had sent out the invitation card for the baby shower.

When the time was right, they would act as planned at the same time.

Yvette recalled what had happened to Kali and asked, "Where is Kali? She is not accompanying you?"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Lance looked straight ahead and said, "She has her own business. Why should she accompany me?"

Yvette was stunned, "Fine, you should be more concerned about her. After all, she’s unfamiliar with this place. I am afraid she might run into bad guys."

"Hasn’t she been with Joseph?"

As soon as he mentioned Joseph, Joseph became upset and asked, "But Joseph doesn’t seem to like Kali. You had better pay more attention to her."

Lance paused for a moment and explained, "Joseph is straightforward, but he will not leave Miss Pruitt alone in danger."

Miss Pruitt?

Pruitt felt that the way Lance addressed Kali was too strange.

It did not sound like the two were close at all.

But when she thought of how cold Lance had always been, she could understand.

Yvette persuaded him, "After all, she came with you. If something bad happens to her, it will affect your reputation too, right?"

She still worried about what Kali had said about her wanting to sleep with lots of men.

She knew that Kali was joking, but what if she really went to a bar in a fit of anger?

The security in Iceland was not as good as in New York.

Lance frowned, "She’s an adult and has her own considerations. It has nothing to do with me."

Yvette found something strange and blurted, "Isn’t she your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Lance stopped. He looked up at her. Yvette blushed under his gaze.

He asked, "So you’re asking me all these questions and think we are in love?"

On hearing this, Yvette’s heart skipped a beat.

Is that not the case?

They are not lovers?

"I did not mean that. I just feel that you do not care much about Ms. Pruitt."

Lance said calmly, "She has family and friends. She will meet her Mr. Right who likes her and cares about her in the future. But it is not me. We are not in love."

Since the man’s words were so straightforward, Yvette understood.

In an instant, she felt dizzy.

It turned out that she had misunderstood the relationship between Kali and Lance.

At this time, Lance looked at her and said, "If you have any doubt, just ask me. Do not be so roundabout."

Yvette could say nothing.

She carefully thought about her questions. Roundabout?

Fine, kind of.

She seemed eager to know the relationship between the Lance and Kali.

She was so eager that she asked in a roundabout way before she realized it.

When she thought of this, Yvette suddenly got blank.

Why do I want to know these things so much?

Could it be...

Yvette stopped thinking about it. She felt that she might be trapped in it and would never be able to come out again.

She suddenly panicked, and she was so nervous.

I am the one who decides to alienate Lance. What am I doing now?

Her subconscious told her to get away from this man.

Otherwise, she could reveal her true feelings at any time.

"I don’t want to know anything." Yvette stubbornly denied.

Then, she said to him, "I’ll turn a corner and I’ll be there. You can go back now. I’ll go now."

After saying that, she ran away without giving the man a chance to speak.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the man would see right through her.

Especially just now, when he said that he and Kali were not lovers, she clearly felt that her heart beat much faster.

That man was so smart and seductive.

It took her a lot of effort to get rid of her self-blame.

She really... did not want to be trapped in it anymore.

...

The next day.

Yvette was released from the hospital and returned to the villa.

Yvette was discharged from the hospital and returned to the villa.

She thought that as long as they did not meet, she could get rid of her bewildering mood.

She reassured herself that the reason she was so easily swayed was because the man had a crippled leg.

Yes, it must have been the man’s inability to walk, which made him look even more melancholy.

She couldn’t control herself and sympathized with him or felt sorry for him.

In short, Yvette felt that this was not a good sign.

After returning to the villa, she did not calm down as she had imagined. Instead, her mind was filled with the image of the man trying to stand up from his wheelchair.

This scene was remembered fondly by Yvette.

She finally understood how much she wanted to accompany him and encourage him to stand up at that moment.

The weather in Iceland always changed quickly.

Just like now, it suddenly snowed heavily outside.

Yvette looked at the heavy snow outside the window. Although she was in a warm room, the coldness seemed to penetrate the window and seep into her bones.

It was a hallucination yet.

She was still not used to the weather in the Iceland.

As she looked at the snow, she wondered how the man would endure the hurt on his leg. After all, she was not used to this weather as a healthy person.

He was alone in the Iceland, a foreign country. The image of him bearing the pain of the illness alone became clearer in Yvette’s mind.

Yvette was once again moved by this scene.

She remembered that her grandmother had taught her a wonderful remedy to alleviate sickness in cold weather.

She quickly took out her phone and texted many details to a familiar number.

After sending the message, Yvette couldn’t fall asleep. She kept holding her phone and waiting for his reply.

After 60 seconds of uneasiness, the man replied.

"I have tried it. Not bad. Thank you."

After waiting anxiously for 60 seconds, she received this reply, especially the word "thank you", which was businesslike, strange and distant.

Yvette felt frustrated in an instant.

What am I looking forward to...

She turned the phone to the silent mode, put down it, and lay on the bed.

She felt that what she did just now was very stupid.

After all, the man had told her that day, "If you have doubt, just ask me. Don’t be roundabout..."

She slapped her head hard.

What the hell am I doing?

It really felt like she was trying to seduce him...

What a shame!

Yvette couldn’t sleep at night, so she slept a little longer in the morning.

When she woke up, she was called by Marlon to discuss the baby shower.

At first, Marlon didn’t want Yvette to get involved in such a dangerous thing, but Keith was a very cunning person. If Yvette was absent, Keith would probably discover something immediately.

That would be bad.

At the very least, he couldn’t let Keith find anything unusual until he found Yvette’s mother.

In this case, Yvette’s involvement was essential to reassure Keith.

Keith gave a rough plan, and saw that Yvette was very frustrated. He asked, "Didn’t you sleep well last night?"

Yvette nodded, "I can’t sleep."

Marlon thought that she was worried about their plan, so he comforted her, "Don’t worry too much. I will ensure your safety."

"No, I’m not worried," said Yvette.

"But, Marlon... Do you know about Lance’s condition? He has an injured leg..."

After hesitating for a moment, Yvette asked, "Is he badly hurt?"

Marlon was stunned for a moment and then said, "I don’t know much about this. You can ask him directly."

After all, Lance had asked him to keep it a secret. Since he didn’t want Yvette to know, he won’t tell her.

Moreover, in his heart, he was also very afraid that if Yvette knew this, she would fall into the kind of emotions she used to feel that she had hurt Lance.

And she would become autistic.

If Yvette asked Lance directly, he could decide whether to tell her the truth.

He believed that Lance would definitely be willing to coax her by any means.

Yvette pursed her lips and said, "Brother, I’m always afraid that getting close to him will bring him misfortune."

Marlon looked at her. He was not a psychologist, but he could tell that Yvette still had mixed feelings.

Lance and she...

Marlon shook his head and said slowly, "Yvette, sometimes, a loss, no bad thing or a blessing in disguise. Everyone has his own choice. Do you want to live like a corpse or spend every precious and profound second with the person you love?"

"So let’s not get frustrated by one-sided thinking. If we can’t let it go, then let’s address it until we can be completely relaxed."

Marlon’s words suddenly reminded Yvette.

She had always been bewitched by Juliette Beckford’s words.

She felt that she was the culprit behind Lance’s misfortune.

But without her, Lance still hurt his legs.

Who was to blame for this then?

She was an actionist. If she couldn’t figure something out, she had to put it into practice.

Since she was worried about his legs, she might go and have a look in person.

Thinking of this, she called Frankie and asked him, "Frankie, is Lance still in the hospital?"

"No, Mr. Wolseley is currently at the Iceland Conference Center. He is negotiating with relevant leaders on "All the way".

Yvette was stunned, "He’s working. How’s his leg?"

Frankie looked at the man who was absorbed in his work and felt a little sad.

"Miss Yvette, I can’t persuade Mr. Wolseley. He only ate a little for breakfast."

Frankie was in a dilemma. He knew that he shouldn’t say that, but he had to because he couldn’t just watch Mr. Wolseley ignore his health.

He said hesitantly, "I would like you to come and persuade Mr. Worsley, if convinced."

After hanging up, Yvette looked at the text message on her phone.

She didn’t text anything after seeing the man’s "Thank you".

He thanked her, and she didn’t reply. He didn’t text anything afterwards either.

Text messages always made people feel distant.

She put on her coat, got in the car, and decided to meet Lance.
