Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 893

"Why won't you listen to me, Yvie?" asked Wilson disapprovingly.

He sighed helplessly, well-defined hands reaching out to wrap around her slender waist.

His tone was firmer as he said, "Take a short break first."

Yvette found herself being carried away by him. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, raising her eyes to look at him as she stated, "I'm not tired."

"Not tired?" Wilson echoed, his eyes narrowing slightly as he pinched her cheeks with his long, slender fingers. "You think I believe you?"

Yvette fell silent.

He sure wasn't easy to fool!

Wilson gazed at her, eyes filled with gentle affection. His deep, husky voice rang out unhurriedly in her ear. "You may not feel bad for yourself, but I certainly do."

Feeling a warmth curl around her heart, she blinked lightly, then nodded. "Alright, I'll take a short break."

A smile finally appeared on his face. He then proceeded to carry her into the room.

She was bewildered. "I only promised to take a short break!"

"I know," he replied.

He lowered his head to place a light kiss on her forehead, and when he spoke again, his voice was gentle yet irresistible.

"Leave tracking down Wesley's whereabouts to me. Your current mission is to get some good rest, Yvie!"

…

Back at Dark Organization headquarters, Xavier rushed to meet Theodore, evidently having just returned from outside not too long ago.

"You were asking for me, Mr. Maximillian?"

Theodore was sitting on his throne, face pale. However, the pressure he exuded ensured that nobody would underestimate him.

"To think you're actually helping Yvie deceive me! The both of you have utterly disappointed me!"

Xavier's expression didn't change despite the scalding hot tea burning his arms, nor did he cry out in pain. He simply accepted Theodore's anger calmly.

"Please calm down, Mr. Maximillian…"

With a loud crash, Theodore swept the entire tea set off the table, his fury rising.

"Shut up! Go receive your punishment in the dungeon later."

"Yes, Mr. Maximillian," Xavier responded respectfully, face emotionless.

He already knew that they wouldn't be able to keep things from Theodore for long, and similarly, he had long expected to be punished for it.

But even then, if there was ever a next time, he still wouldn't be able to refuse any request from Yvette.
