In stark contrast to Yvonne's reaction, Stephen appeared calm and adjusted his collar casually. "The treatment has been more effective lately."Yvonne was thrilled to learn of that and quickly checked Stephen’s pulse, confirming that he was indeed in much better condition than last time. She didn't expect that he would recover so quickly. "When did you realize it?" she asked. All of a sudden, Yvonne recalled that Stephen had also noticed her injury in the dressing room. Did that mean he'd seen her naked? Although they had slept together before, Yvonne had always assumed that Stephen was blind, which is why she hadn't been conscious of her appearance. But now that she realized that he had indeed seen her body, her head spun as she blushed red with embarrassment. Stephen didn't deny it, so Yvonne took it as an affirmation.Stephen had to admit that Yvonne had an attractive figure. Although he could feel the sensation of her body with his touch, seeing her fair and rosy skin with his

After Yvonne finished washing up, she walked towards Stephen's door. She'd been about to knock on the door when her thoughts interrupted her.Stephen could see things now. Does that mean he can see her ugliness more clearly? Yvonne had never been anxious about her looks before, but she was pretty hesitant now. What if Stephen thought of her as an eyesore and wanted to end their relationship?Yvonne thought that she should limit the time she spent around him for her own sake and also to protect Stephen's eyes, which had just recovered.After returning to her room, Yvonne wrote a short note explaining Arthur's phone call and thanking him for taking her to the birthday celebrations the night before. She stuck the note on Stephen's door and went to work cheerfully.That afternoon, Elliot visited Yvonne with the contract. He appeared very sorry for what he had done before and wouldn't sit down to talk until he'd apologized a few times. The contract Elliot brought this time promised to g

"It's just that I heard something about you and the Robinson family." Yvonne winced. "I thought I needed to thank you in person for what you did." After she finished speaking, she sensed that his mood had gone cold. He leaned back, feeling displeased. "Who told you that?""Noah,." Yvonne answered him honestly but didn't plan to explain the details. She wasn't a person without a sense of propriety. If Stephen didn't want to speak about it, she wouldn't either. "I'm not interested in it, and I don't want to pry into your past." She turned to Stephen with sincere eyes. "I was just surprised. Why did you help me despite that?"Stephen was startled. He stared at Yvonne for a long time, unable to explain his feelings. She seemed to soothe his anger away. He hadn't felt anything like this before. It was an unfamiliar experience for him.Yvonne felt weird. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are the answers on my face?"Stephen recovered. "No." He closed his eyes and explained in a dee

Yvonne received a call from Jasmine a week later. She was in a meeting with the design department to confirm the details of the upcoming products when she got the call, so she called Jasmine back after the meeting ended.Jasmine invited her to attend a gathering for the wives of the rich and famous socialites. Yvonne wanted to decline her invitation, but Jasmine added, "There's no harm in having more connections in Northerna City. They love jewelry. Perhaps they could be potential clients. You'll probably benefit by attending." She had a point, and her words moved Yvonne.Yvonne arrived at the open-air restaurant on time, according to the address and time Jasmine gave her. The whole restaurant had been reserved for the private wine-tasting party. Yvonne could see the wives chatting and laughing. Jasmine was the first to turn her head toward the door when she heard the bell ring. She'd been waiting for Yvonne.Jasmine was from a good social background, and she also had a good charact

"There's only one copy of the recording, and I've just deleted it." Xavier put his phone back in his pocket. "Just consider it a favor, and now you owe me one. Not a big deal, isn't it?"Yvonne crossed her arms. She tried to be patient and looked at him. "Mr. Robinson, what kind of tricks are you planning this time? Get to the point.""I didn't plan to play tricks on you." Xavier smiled with narrowed eyes. "I want you. I will compete with Stephen fair and square." Once again, Yvonne couldn't figure out what exactly he was trying to do. She suspected that he'd been born without a brain. "I deleted the recording to show my sincerity for us to get to know each other all over again." He held out his hand to Yvonne. "Ms. Miller, why don't we forget our grudges from the past?"She stared at his hand. "I'm sorry. I'm a person who holds grudges. Besides, I'm quite faithful." She took a few steps back and held her hands behind her body. She laughed at Xavier. "Also, I always thought that you
