After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 147

Yolanda was really tired and fell asleep quickly.

Half-awake, she vaguely sensed someone adjusting her blanket, but she didn’t pay much attention to it.

ooo

When she finally woke up and cdownstairs, Charles was sitting there waiting. Lately, he'd been swamped

with issues thanks to the Andrade family stirring up trouble, but he made sure to spend an extra half hour at

hto look after her. “Make sure you eat a good breakfast. You've lost sweight these past few days,” he

reminded her kindly.

“Babe, I'm going to stay with Megan for a couple days. Her husband hasn't been answering any calls, and I'm

really worried something bad might've happened,” Yolanda said.

Charles couldn’t say no to a reason like that.

He just smiled, gave her a gentle pat on the head, and headed out the door.

As soon as Charles left, Yolanda kept to herself, ate a little, and gave Megan a call.

Megan asked her not to cto the hospital after all.

“Yolanda, | was all mixed up before. I'll get myself together soon, | promise. About Greg, | owe you an apology -

I'm really sorry. | thought it through last night, and Ill be working on getting better at the hospital over the next

few days,” Megan said.

Seeing Megan so firm about it, Yolanda didn’t insist. Instead, she quietly sent fifty grand to Megan's account.

Megan accepted the money without hesitation-she really needed it right now.

Yolanda drove over to lan’s place and caught him just as he was heading out.

“Yolanda, remember when Raelyn got replaced? Now the new female lead’s got a dozen key scenes where she

needsto pick up her close-ups. I've got to head out to the suburbs for it,” lan said.

“Lettake you,” Yolanda replied.

She pulled a hat low over her eyes, slipped on a mask, and climbed into the crew van.

Whenever she met up with lan, she'd always switch to this van halfway there-no exceptions.

When they pulled up outside the temporary stuset in the suburbs, she parked and said casually, “We're here,

go on out.”

But instead of leaving, lan leaned in close, pressing a quick kiss to her lips. Then his eyes drew down, lingering

over the marks that still hadn't faded away.

Yolanda instantly felt a rush of self-consciousness, a little uneasy under his gaze.

He didn’t rush-drawing out the moment, his movements slow, almost teasing.

Then he looked up at her, smirking. “Those marks are getting faint. Cwithto the back; I'll make sure

they're nice and fresh.”

Yolanda couldn't help but laugh. The van was roomy, with adjustable seats, so she slid right into the back,

settling into the wide, comfortable seat.

lan leaned in, slowly lowering the seat until it was almost flat. Then he puzzled his nose against her neck, his

breath warm against her skin.

Yolanda frowned, giving his shoulder a playful slap. “Are you a dog or something?”

He just grinned, his lips trailing down to another faint mark, leaving a deeper one in its place.

Yolanda felt her body go soft under his touch, but then she noticed his hand starting to wander.

She took a deep breath and nudged him away. “Don’t you need to go pick up those shots?”

lan paused, disappointment written all over his face.

He got out, but couldn't resist glancing over his shoulder every few steps, looking absolutely reluctant to leave -

Yolanda watched and couldn't help but laugh at how lovesick he looked.

Settled in the back seat, Yolanda grabbed her laptop and started messaging Jason Maine about all the

contracts piling up. These days, there were just too many details to handle alone-she had to consult this top- tier

lawyer on everything.

Jason was famous in the legal circles, and he never wasted words-his replies were always crisp and straight to

business.

Yolanda skimmed his latest bullet points, then shot back a message.

“Appreciate your hard work, Mr. Maine.”

Jason never answered unless it was strictly about work. He was the kind who did everything by the book, cold

and precise whenever he dealt with people-almost like her brother Samuel Grant, except Samuel had a slick

businessman’s edge. Jason, on the other hand, was like a flower blooming on a high branch, classy and

untouched by all the dirty games in the business world. Rumor had it, every bit of status he had now was built

from the ground up, all on his own.

Yolanda was so focused on reviewing the first draft of the contract that she didn’t realize how tired her eyes were

getting, lost in her work until the car door finally clicked open.

lan had wrapped up all his scenes, scrubbed off his makeup, and looked fresh from the shower-his hair still damp

and tousled.

As soon as the door closed behind him, he crouched down right next to Yolanda.

She didn't lift her gaze from her laptop, but lan didn’t care. He just knelt beside her, planting gentle kisses on

each fingertip she’d left resting on the armrest-adoring and playful.

He was so clingy and sweet in that moment, no one could possibly resist it. Her heart just completely melted.

Yolanda snapped her laptop shut and grinned at Jan. “So, got any fun plans for this afternoon?”

lan teased, “Shouldn't you be buried in work after taking over Starlight? Aren’t you crazy busy?”

“I'm here for you today,” Yolanda replied with a smile.

lan let out a soft laugh. “Then | don’t want to go anywhere. | just want to be with you. Is that so wrong?”

Yolanda raised an eyebrow, but before she knew it, lan had caught her ankle in his hand.

“Now you'll never be able to leave me,” he teased with a mischievous grin.

Yolanda was rocking a sleek, business-chic look today-her silver stiletto heels shining as she walked. No wonder

she didn’t go out with lan earlier-looking this sharp, she'd draw too much attention as his “assistant.” With that

killer aura and those emerald stud earrings, she was the definition of a workplace queen. Nobody in their right

mind would think she was just there to run errands for him.

She was dazzling-so striking and elegant it was almost intimidating. Her hair was tied back in a simple low

ponytail, the emerald earrings making her look absolutely refined and high-class.

The more lan looked, the harder it was to look away. He was hooked, falling fast and deep for her.

lan lightly ran his fingertips over her silver stilettos, lingering on the shine with a teasing touch.

Then he knelt down on one knee, gently lifting her foot in his hand as if she were royalty.

“Tto make a move,” he murmured, his grin full of mischief.

Yolanda blinked, caught off guard—and just in theard him whisper, “You're turning every head with that look

today.”

Too classy and refined, so flawless it’s almost unreal-like she was a living doll brought to life.

She looked so flawless, it was almost intimidating-too dazzling to stare at for more than a second.

Yolanda arched a brow, feeling that wicked, playful streak deep inside her suddenly awaken.

She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes glinting with newfound interest.

‘Sweet and obedient? Yeah right. If anyone else were here, they'd never buy it,” Yolanda thought to herself.

lan was the only one who could draw out the parts of her she'd buried the deepest-he truly was one of a kind.

lan glanced up at her a few times, swallowed, and muttered softly, “If you say so.”

Yolanda leaned back, keeping her tone casual. “I'm just tired.”

For sreason, she felt a bit uneasy.
