Adam’s impatience deepened, his clear as he resisted the urge to argue further. Even if he wasn’t thrilled about accepting Wilson as his brother–in–law, he had to admit that he’d lost.

But what really surprised him was just how skilled Wilson was in a fight. He was far more formidable than the rumors suggested.

Yvette lifted her eyes and met Wilson’s gaze. “Say what you need to. You’ve got nine minutes left.”

“Still mad at me, little one?” Wilson asked, pulling her into his arms, his voice low?

to coax her.

“What would it take for you to stop being mad at me?”

Yvette shook her head. “I’m not angry anymore.”

and soothing as he tried

Yvette had been furious back then, but now the anger had faded. Besides, when it came to Wilson, it was hard for her to stay mad for long.

Hearing this, Wilson’s lips curled into a pleased smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling with joy.

His deep, magnetic voice hummed softly, unhurried and coaxing. “Yvie, Adam hit me pretty hard–it still

hurts….”

He paused deliberately as his warm breath grazed her delicate ear. Next, his tone dripped with feigned

Yvette clicked her tongue in disbelief. This sly fox was at it again, expertly playing up his charm.

“Mr. Quinn, Lionel was sent to the dungeon for punishment. He’s still in the hospital and hasn’t woken up since.”

“Got it. Tell him that if he dares show disrespect to my future wife again, it’ll be a death sentence,” Wilson instructed calmly, his eyes brimming with an icy menace.

Despite having served Wilson for many years, Samuel still felt a chill at the ruthless air his boss exuded. He quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, Mr. Quinn.”

As Wilson turned and got into the car, Samuel cautiously said, “Mr. Quinn, should we have your injuries examined at the hospital?”

Yvette might not have known, but Samuel had witnessed everything at the boxing gym.

Wilson had indeed suffered injuries. After all, Adam was no pushover.
