Chapter 35 We’re Not Getting Divorced

Yvette asked in confusion, “Isn’t that good news?”

Actually, Yvette told Yazmin that Lance and she were getting divorced because she could no longer stand Yazmin’s annoying voice. Yvette felt so much better without hearing Yazmin’s voice.

Lance fell silent with his handsome but cold face.

Yvette’s heart sank. She felt that Lance hated her more.

Yvette thought, fortunately, everything is about to end.

I’d better shut my mouth.

Soon, Lance and Yvette reached the Wolseley’s home.

Lance and Yvette both agreed to come over while Jaiden was taking a nap.

Tanya had been waiting for Yvette. Tanya warmly greeted Yvette and took her inside.

Tanya and Yvette went into the living room together. Tanya hugged Yvette with affection.

Tanya wrapped her hands around Yvette’s face, saying, “You look like you’re losing weight, my dear. Lance,

why didn’t you take good care of Yvette?”

Lance pulled a long face.

Yvette hurriedly explained, “Tanya, I need to have a word with you.”

Tanya’s eyebrows raised uneasily. Tanya had guessed what Yvette was gonna say.

“Alright,” Tanya sighed softly.

The next moment, Tanya stood up and led Yvette to another room.

Sitting down, Tanya held Yvette’s hand and said gently, “Honey, what were you gonna say?”

“Tanya, I have to apologize first. What a shame that I didn’t spend more time with you over the past two

years.”

“No, it’s not your fault. I’d been abroad with Lance’s father. I should have spent more time with you. But now that I’ve returned, it’s never too late. I’m sure we can have a great time together.”

“I’m sorry, Tanya. I’m afraid that I’m gonna let you down.” Yvette’s beautiful eyes were filled with sadness.

Tanya’s heart clenched. “Yvette, have you really thought it through? Lance is my son, and I know him well. Even though Lance seems aloof, he’s thoughtful and attentive. I think he has feelings for you,” Tanya said.

After what Lance and Yvette had been through together, Yvette also believed that Lance had feelings for her.

But so what?

After Yazmin returned, Yvette realized one thing.

Yvette was making a fool of herself.

Yvette thought, Lance might have a thing for me, but so what? Yazmin means a lot to Lance. I’m just nobody.

Yvette could no longer bear this feeling of anxiety.

Yvette bitterly smiled, “Tanya, even though I’m just an ordinary person, I need a man who only has eyes for

me.”

Yvette didn’t wanna share Lance’s love with other women.

Yvette needed a man who would always love her and take her side unconditionally.

Yvette’s words tugged at Tanya’s heart. Tanya didn’t know what to say.

Tanya had every reason to believe that Lance probably hadn’t realized that his love was only for Yvette.

In fact, Tanya had a lot of ways to stop Lance and Yvette from getting divorced. However, Tanya hated to see Yvette suffer through the same pain that she had.

Tanya held Yvette’s hand and gently patted it. Tanya gently said, “Yvette, I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through. Lance and I owe you an apology.”

“Tanya, you don’t have to apologize. And Lance did nothing wrong.”

There was no right or wrong in a relationship. Yvette didn’t blame Lance for loving Yazmin rather than herself.

The sudden red rimmed Tanya’s eyes. “It’s not my place to ask you to stay. I respect your decision,” Tanyal

said.

Yvette took off the bracelet that Tanya gave her and handed it to Tanya. Yvette held back her tears and

apologized, “Tanya, I’m sorry that I failed you.”

Tanya took the bracelet and put it on Yvette’s hand again. “I gave you this bracelet not because you’re Lance’s

wife. I see you as my daughter, even if you’re divorcing Lance. It’s not like we can’t see each other again. Or

you’re not gonna see Jaiden and me forever?”

Tanya got a point. Yvette did care about Tanya and Jaiden.

Tanya and Jaiden had always been so nice to Yvette. It tore Yvette’s heart to leave them.

Yvette couldn’t get a grip on her sadness. She hugged Tanya tightly and burst into tears.

Yvette cried because she was grateful that she had met Tanya.

Yvette also cried over her decade-long unrequited love for Lance.

Yvette wiped away her tears and said sincerely, “Tanya, thank you for understanding.”

Tanya patted Yvette’s back gently and replied, “Yvette, even if you and Lance aren’t a couple anymore, we’re

still friends, right?”

Yvette was about to speak.

Suddenly, a great sound came from behind.

Jaiden knocked heavily on the floor with his cane and asked in a stern voice, “Lance and Yvette aren’t a

couple anymore? What do you mean by that?”

Yvette was shocked to see Jalden.

Panicked, Tanya went to support Jaiden by his arm. “We’re just making small talk. Nothing special,” Tanya

lied.

To Tanya’s surprise, Jaiden shook off her hand and snapped, “Don’t try to fool me! I heard what you said!”

“Jaiden, I can explain…” Yvette became flustered. She didn’t know how to explain it to Jaiden.

Jaiden’s eyes glinted with anger. He growled, “Let Lance explain!”

Soon, Lance came over.

With a gloomy face, Jaiden asked, “You wanna divorce Yvette?”

Silent, Lance pursed his thin lips. Silence spoke volumes.

Jaiden flared up at once. Jaiden’s face turned red because of anger. “I can’t believe you wanna divorce

Yvette!” he roared.

Lance immediately lowered his head with guilt.

No one saw that coming.

Yvette clenched her fists while lowering her eyes.

Yvette thought that Lance lowered his head for Yazmin.

Even though Yvette knew it from the start, she was upset to see Lance swallow his pride just for Yazmin.

Yvette hated herself for still loving Lance.

Lance’s silence made Jaiden even angrier. Jaiden pointed at Lance with his cane and snarled, “You! You…”

“Bang!”

The cane suddenly slipped from Jaiden’s hand.

The next moment, Jaiden collapsed. Lance quickly came to hold Jaiden’s body, shouting for help.

“Jaiden!”

“Jaiden!”

Yvette and Tanya rushed over.

Everyone was in a panic.

Lance drove Jaiden to the hospital as fast as he could while Yvette and Tanya took another car.

After Yvette and Tanya arrived at the hospital, they rushed straight to the ward.

Tanya couldn’t stay calm as she always did. Tanya felt that her legs were too weak to stand.

Yvette was also overwhelmed with anxiety and worry. Yvette wouldn’t forgive herself if anything happened to

Jaiden.

All of them waited outside the emergency room.

Filled with worry, everyone remained silent.

Finally, the operation was over. A doctor came out.

Tanya was the first to go up, asking, “How is he?”

“Don’t worry. The patient is gonna be fine. However, he can’t have intense emotions at his age.”

Tanya looked relieved. Tanya covered her chest with her hand and sat on the ground, murmuring.

Lance asked the bodyguards to take Tanya to rest. After that, Lance went to Jaiden’s ward. Yvette followed

behind.

Before entering the ward, Lance suddenly stopped and said coldly, “Don’t say what you shouldn’t say later.”

Lance’s voice sounded unfriendly.

Yvette was in a daze. Yvette assumed that Lance did it because he was worried about Jaiden, so she just

nodded without saying anything.

On the hospital bed, Jaiden looked aged all of a sudden in his hospital gown.

Even so, Jaiden waved at Yvette and said, “Yvette.”

Yvette couldn’t help but weep. She came up to Jaiden and cried, “It’s good to see you’re all right, Jaiden.”

“Don’t worry, Yvette. I’m gonna be fine.” Jaiden rubbed Yvette’s hair lovingly.

“Look at you. I don’t even know you’re a crybaby, Yvette,” Jaiden teased.

Yvette wiped her tears away in embarrassment. To avoid the IV drip needle on the back of Jaiden’s hand, Yvette straightened up.

Lance walked over and glanced at Yvette. “Grandpa, I’m sorry,” Lance apologized in a low voice.

Jaiden’s smile vanished instantly. “You shouldn’t apologize to me!”

Lance lowered his head slightly, speechless.

Jaiden grew angry again. “What are you thinking? Why do you want to divorce Yvette? Are you out of your mind?” he yelled.

“Kaff, kaff…” Jaiden couldn’t stop coughing out of anger.

Yvette hurriedly stroked Jaiden’s back and comforted, “Don’t be mad, Jaiden. It’s not Lance’s fault…”

Η

Before Yvette finished her sentence, Lance suddenly said, “Grandpa, you got me wrong. Yvette and I aren’t getting divorced.”

There was a long moment of silence.

Yvette froze with her hand on Jaiden’s back.

It took Yvette a while to come to her senses.
