Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 31

Linda's pent-up anger was boiling after seeing Yara covering her mouth and giggling sarcastically.

"What's wrong with the twenty-second? Does that day even represent anything?" Linda asked.

Yara deliberately used that to mock Yvonne, but even i f Linda took over the conversation, Yara would

certainly not let go of the opportunity to continue ridiculing Yvonne.

"It doesn't signify anything, but this is the sheer difference. After all, it happened on the same day, and

even if I don't say anything, I can't stop outsiders from remembering the twenty-second from three

years ago, " Yara said.

"Plenty of things happened on that day but all you can do is watch yearningly. Does it even have

anything to do with you?" Linda retorted.

Yara snorted coldly and said, "I don’t really care whether or not it has anything to do with me. At least I

don't have such a useless man. You can’t even begin t o imagine how rich my future husband’s family

will b e."

Linda heard from Yvonne about those betrothal gifts being delivered. It was a fine gift indeed, with jade,

gold, and cash. The other party's family background was certainly of epic proportions, and Yara no

doubt

had the best chance out of anyone else.

"Haven't you heard of the phrase 'the wife of a rich man is never truly free'? You're just waiting to live

as a n unhappy and resentful wife," Linda shot back.

Yara did not take offense with those words at all. Instead, she said triumphantly, "So what if I'm an

unhappy and resentful wife? I'd rather be a resentful wife in a house full of luxury brands than marry a

poor man who has to rely on a woman to get by."

Yvonne could not listen to it anymore and said coldly," If there's nothing else, Yara, you can leave now."

"The twenty-second is going to be a good day, but for some people, it’s an absolute tragedy." Yara took

the document and walked out while saying that. Her tone was exceedingly contemptuous.

After Yara left, Linda looked at the sour-faced Yvonne and comforted her, "Yvonne, don’t listen to that

nosy woman's nonsense. She's the kind with a vile mouth."

Yvonne smiled bitterly and said, "She’s right. I sank into the depths of despair that day three years ago,

but now...I've already gotten over it and accepted the situation."

"I wonder which bastard insisted on choosing the twenty-second. Isn't this a deliberate jab at you?"

Linda huffed and puffed angrily. It was such a touchy time and would inevitably cause Cloud City's

gossipy women to bring up Yvonne's marriage. By then, people would make comparisons with her yet

again.

"That's their planning. The twenty-second doesn't belong to me. How could you say that it's a

deliberate jab at me?" Yvonne smiled bitterly. Her best friend just had to make remarks that aimed at

her instead of at someone else.

Linda merely said those words because she was angry. She knew that the incident could not be

directed at Yvonne, but people were bound to gossip about Yvonne when the time came.

"Forget it. It's been three years anyway. Your heart must've toughened up greatly already. Even if

someone deliberately brings up what happened three years ago, just ignore it," Linda said.

Yvonne nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can withstand any attack. I really do think that my life is very

good now."

At the end of her working day, a red Ferrari was parked next to Samuel's Audi.

The man standing next to the Ferrari might not look a s good as Samuel, but in a society where cash is

king, a Ferrari was better than any good looks.

"Bro, are you here to pick up your girlfriend from work?" the man asked Samuel.

"Wife," Samuel replied. He knew that man because whenever he silently watched Yvonne get off work

during the past three years, the man appeared there frequently too. Besides, the person was also

waiting for Yvonne.

The man's name was Peter Yardley and he had admired Yvonne for a long time. He did not give up

even after Yvonne got married because he knew that Yvonne was married to a useless husband. He

once told Yvonne that as long as she was willing to get a divorce, he would remove everything that

stood in his way of marrying her and would give her a wedding that would rock the entire city.

"Not bad of you to get married at such a young age. I'm a bit unlucky though. The woman I have my

heart set o n is married to a useless guy, but I know that she never allowed that garbage to touch her

during the past three years. As long as she’s willing, I’ll marry her at any time," Peter said.

Samuel cocked his eyebrow and said nothing more.

When Yvonne appeared after getting off work, Peter walked enthusiastically to Yvonne's side.

"Yvonne. I’ve made reservations at a restaurant. Come have dinner with me," Peter offered.

Yvonne did not have the slightest affection for Peter. While Peter did like her, she viewed it as

unwanted harassment. Peter was famous for being a playboy who went through women as fast as he

changed clothes.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough, Peter? I'm already married," Yvonne said.

Peter smiled faintly and said, "That trash isn’t qualified to have you. You also haven't let him touch you

in three years and there are no feelings between the two of you. Why must you continue embarrassing

yourself?

"I know you’re afraid that Grandmother Sue will disagree, but don't you worry. I guarantee I’ll convince

her as long as you agree," Peter said.

"Sorry, my husband came to pick me up." Yvonne walked toward Samuel as soon as she coldly

finished her sentence.

Peter was taken aback for a moment. The person who was talking to him earlier turned out to be

Yvonne's rubbish husband!

"Bro, I didn't expect you to be that legendary piece of trash. Knowing a person isn’t the same as

actually meeting them," Peter sneered and looked at Samuel.

Samuel said flatly, "It’s good that I didn't disappoint you."

Peter snickered. Samuel really did turn out to be trash, as the latter could only swallow his anger after

being scolded.

"I can give Yvonne a better life. What can you give her? You should get lost if you know what’s good for

you. Why would you waste her time?" Peter scoffed.

"Oh? What can you give her?" Samuel asked curiously.

Peter glanced at the Ferrari triumphantly and said, "D o you have this kind of sports car? I have three in

my garage. I can also reserve the entire Crystal Restaurant

for her. Can you do that?"

It just so happened that the particular piece of news made its rounds that day, so Peter used it to mock

Samuel. With Peter's financial power, he certainly was capable of doing such a thing.

"Samuel, stop talking nonsense with him. Let’s go home," Yvonne urged as she sat in the front

passenger seat.

"Did you hear that? We’re going home," Samuel smiled slightly.

Peter's face ashened as he watched the Audi drive away. Samuel's words dealt a serious blow to him.

"You piece of trash. I'll get Yvonne sooner or later. Even if I can’t win her heart over, I'll enjoy her flesh.

You're just some garbage waiting for me to cuckold you," Peter gritted his teeth and said.

Back at home, Godfrey and Lydia both had unsavory expressions. They knew about the news

regarding Crystal Restaurant. It was an unpleasant time that made things unbearable for Yvonne. The

jokes from three years ago would almost certainly be brought up again.

However, the two of them did not mention it in front o f Yvonne. They did not want to reopen Yvonne's

old wounds but merely glared at Samuel with increasingly discontented looks.

After dinner, Godfrey called Samuel and said that they were going for a walk.

"Samuel, do you remember the twenty-second from three years ago?" Godfrey asked unhappily.

Samuel nodded and said, "It's the day I married Yvonne."

Godfrey snorted coldly and said, "You do know that our family's dignity was lost on that shameful day."

Samuel remained silent and waited for Godfrey's subsequent remarks.

"The Crystal Restaurant's reservation on the twenty-second is still half a month away. The shame of

our Sue family will definitely be brought up again. I don't want Yvonne to be sad. You should find an

excuse to bring her out and have fun. Just leave Cloud City," Godfrey said.

Samuel took a deep breath and said, "Yvonne is now i n charge of the west side project. She has a lot

of work every day. It isn't a good time to travel."

"Travel? Did I tell you to travel? I just don't want Yvonne to face that day. You can continue being

spineless and endure it for all I care but why should m y daughter suffer with you?" Godfrey got angrier

and more emotional with each sentence. Grandfather Sue passed away shortly after Yvonne got

married, and he was resentful toward the old man for bringing disaster to the family instead of leaving

them with something good before passing away.

"I know you want me to do this for Yvonne's good, but please believe me when I say that I won't let

anyone

bully her," Samuel said lightly.

Back home.

Lydia took Yvonne's hand and said distressingly, "You look thin. You've been very busy during this time,

haven't you?"

Yvonne smiled and said, "I have, but it's very fulfilling. I must work hard too so those relatives won’t

look down on you."

Lydia touched Yvonne's head and said, "You’re such a good daughter, but you can't work too hard or

else I’ll get worried.

"How about we go out to have some fun and relax for a couple of days?"

When Yvonne heard this, she guessed what Lydia's intentions were and said with a smile, "Mom,

you're not thinking of asking me to enjoy myself during the twenty-second, are you?"

Lydia knew that Yvonne was a smart girl. Since Yvonne mentioned the elephant in the room, she no

longer hid it and said, "Mom just doesn't want you to hear all that gossip from those people. You

haven't left Cloud City in so many years and it’s time for you to go out and meet the world."

"Mom, there are a lot of things in the company waiting for me to deal with. Don't worry, okay? I don't

care if anyone talks about me. They can't hurt me," Yvonne said indifferently. Other women may envy

the event, but not her. As long as she worked hard, there was hope for her future and she could get

whatever her heart desired.

As for Samuel, Yvonne knew that he was changing for her. Perhaps one day in the future, he would no

longer be the good-for-nothing that everyone spoke of. In light of that, Yvonne was very optimistic

about the future.

"Besides, what if Harvey tries to snatch away my position again if I leave at such a critical time?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Yvonne continued.

Lydia sighed and said nothing more.
