Yvonne sat there quietly and patiently, waiting until everyone had retired to their rooms. Only then did she get up to assist the maids in clearing the fruit peels and shells from the coffee table.
"Yvonne." Yvonne froze. She turned toward the voice and saw Wyatt, who was being supported by Quentin, standing a few steps away looking at her.
"C-Chairman Thompson," Yvonne stammered, feeling tense as she straightened up.
Up until now, Wyatt had always addressed her politely as "Ms. Smith." He knew about her relationship with his son but never openly objected or supported it. It was always subtle, distant, and understated.
But this was the first tWyatt called her "Yvonne," just like he addressed the other children in the family.
No wonder her heart was fluttering! "We've known each other for so long. So why the formality?" Wyatt said warmly. "Don't callChairman Thompson anymore. What do young people say these days?" Quentin chimed in, "It sounds way too formal." "Exactly, too formal. Just go with Uncle Wyatt." "Uncle Wyatt," Yvonne answered Wyatt in a soft, constrained tone.
Wyatt noticed the trash clutched in her hands and felt sorrowful.
He spoke gently, "Yvonne, you're my son's girlfriend, a guest of honor and family. These chores are for the maids. You don't need to do them yourself." The word "family" struck Yvonne like a tidal wave, filling her eyes with tears. Her lips quivered, but she did not say a word.
