He wekirarily grabbed a few roues and held her small face in his hands, his movements a little stiff. “In a couple of weeks, Til bring you beck for a viur“
His voice sew a little rough, and his actions weren’t exactly gentle, but at least it was a damn sight cleaner than when she tried to do it herself
Vonne stayed quiet, her voice soft and uncertain as she spoke. “Th–thank you, Jeremy

Yvonne felt small and out of place in front of the giant mansion.
She followed jeremy, her nerves getting the best of her. She reached out to grab his hand, but then she remembered how he’d once said he didn’t like that. She hesitated, pulling her hand back like she’d done something wrong
This place was massive and so unfamiliar. Just stepping through the door, she already feared she’d mess something up or dirty the floor
Jeremy A soft, hesitant voice broke the silence. Jeremy looked down, and saw Yvonne’s eyes brimming with tears again. like she was about to start bawling
“C–Can I hold your hand?” she asked, her voice shaking like she wasn’t sure if she was allowed.
Jeremy froze for a second, caught off guard by the sudden request. That brief hesitation made her think he wasn’t okay with it. Her voice wobbled again, J–Just for a bit… I’m scared…
His heart tugged. After a brief pause, Yvonne pulled her hand back like she’d done something wrong, her head drooping as the murmured, “Sorry”
Before she could feel too embarrassed, a cool, fresh scent surrounded her, and suddenly she was lifted off the ground feet dangling as she was taken to a whole new height.
A stiff, slightly awkward voice spoke near her ear, “I can’t stand hearing people apologize. Don’t say it again, alright?”
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded, taking his words to heart. She carefully tugged at the collar of Jeremy’s shirt, watching him for any signs of rejection

Meanwhile, at the Yates mansion, Marian had a totally different reaction to the luxurious space.
She was calm and collected, following Robert silently. On the outside, she looked cool and composed, but her eyes were darting around, taking everything in
Her excitement was barely contained, though her eyes were alight with that burning desire.
This was the Yates family–the richest in Blorence City. And it was even more breathtaking than she’d ever imagined.
From now on, she would be the one taking Yvonne’s place and ruling this house.
Marian rushed to keep up with Robert, taking quick, deliberate little steps, trying to maintain a bit of composure.
As they walked, she couldn’t help but notice there wasn’t a single Yates family member in sight–not even a servant. It made her feel more and more uneasy.
The second they stepped through the door, there was a loud bang, as something exploded right above her head.
Marian shrieked, instinctively ducking down and covering her head. Colorful ribbons rained down like confett
Welcome to our family, Yvonne!” Nina Yates, along with her two kids, was already waiting, each holding a party popper- except only Oliver Yates, the second youngest, had his actually pop with a loud bang.
Nina casually tossed her unlit party popper onto the couch and, without missing a beat, a servant rushed in to hang up a banner.
Marian looked up and froze when she saw it: [A warm welcome to Yvonne joining the Yates family!!
Her face immediately went blank, and she turned to Robert, wide–eyed with confusion. Meanwhile, Nina and the kids saw her expression, and their smiles disappeared as fast as if someone had slapped them in the face.
Robert let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing his forehead, clearly uncomfortable. It turned out Nina and the kids had thought he was bringing Yvonne back today, and they’d gone all out with this surprise.
He’d forgotten to mention that Marian was the one he was bringing.
