NovelEnglishChapter 194 Yolanda, arm in arm with Zachary, strutted to the fifth row of the audience seats, casually introducing him as her fiancé to the folks around.
1 Zachary didn’t plan to show up, but after some hemming and hawing outside, he finally decided that it wouldn't make any sense if he, as a fiancé, didn't attend his bride—to-be’s award ceremony.

Despite his reluctance, he still greeted everyone with grace and charm when Yolanda introduced him.
His conduct undoubtedly added a touch of dignity to the Murphy family, making Attlee and Olga swell with pride.
Mrs. Bright, on the other hand, sneakily whipped out her phone and texted Mrs. Panter, “You really know how to keep a secret, eh? Why didn’t you spill the beans about Zachary and Yoli's romance? If | hadn't bumped into them in the audience, | wouldn't have known you already had a daughter-in-law in the making!” At that time, Mrs. Panter was enjoying her morning tea. The message almost made her choke. She quickly replied, “What?” She had warned her son multiple times in the past few days not to chase after that Murphy girl, but the knucklehead didn't listen.
All talk and no action, truly! “It's the National Piano Competition award ceremony! My daughter got fifth place, so | tagged along. Never expected Yoli to bag second! You really have a good eye.” Feeling suffocated, Mrs. Panter quickly replied, “Where's this ceremony? I'll swing by.” “Yolanda didn’t invite you?” Mrs. Bright teased, “They seem pretty cozy.” Right now, Yolanda was sweetly holding onto Zachary's arm, and whispering something into his ear. Zachary listened and gave a chuckle.
The scene was picture—perfect.

While Zachary was watching the host's opening remarks with Yolanda; his phone buzzed. It was a message from his Mom.
“Are you trying to send me to an early grave? I've told you time and time again to break up with that girl! But you never listen!” “Fine! You may as well marry into the Murphy family! Consider yourself disowned! If you're so fond of her, don’t bother coming home ever again!” Zachary was astonished. Zachary read his mother’s message, and he was puzzled as to how she knew he was there...
He looked around. Except for the parents of the Murphy family, he didn’t recognize anyone else.
This was weird.
“Mom, I'll be home soon; don’t be mad,” Zachary didn’t really want to be there, he just wanted to be there for Yolanda, otherwise, it would feel like something was missing.
Yolanda, who was close enough to see the conversation on his phone, felt a stab of disappointment. But she couldn't show it, so she gently said, “Is that your mom asking you to come home? If so, you should go. Don’t worry about me.” mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
