NovelEnglishChapter 52 You Are the Only One
Yvette couldn’t be more flustered. She hurriedly reached out to press against Lance’s chest.
Perhaps his wound was affected. Lance’s eyes darkened as he frowned.
“Stop moving. That thing isn’t an option now,” he said calmly.
Yvette’s face was as reddish as an apple, and she was so shy and irritated.
She wanted to scold him, but she was afraid that Frankie outside the door would hear her, so she could
only lower her voice and glare at him while saying, “You bullied me again.”
She did not know how charming she was right now with her rosy cheeks and her sweet, soft voice.
Lance felt something, and his eyes went deep.
She was right. If he weren’t injured, he would have bullied her hard by now.
Yvette did not know what he was thinking. Her mind was filled with all the things that happened at the
banquet today.
It was a fact that he saved her, but it was also a fact that he pushed her away…
Her eyes dimmed. She couldn’t let go of any of this.
“Slap!”
The sound was neither low nor high. He patted her thigh, making her ears red. She frowned and looked
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat him. “What are you doing?”
“Bullying you.” Lance’s voice was hoarse, and he leaned closer with his lips.
Yvette was like a bunny in front of him, and any resistance she made would be in vain.
Yet she was still stubborn. She turned her head slightly, not letting his lips reach hers.
Lance pinched her chin frivolously, and his eyes became sharper. “What is it? I’m not allowed to touch
you?”
He didn’t smile at all. When he put on a poker face, he looked cold and distant.
The atmosphere froze in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. It was Yvette’s phone.
Yvette reached past him to get her phone. Not wanting to affect his wound, she tried her best to control
her body, avoiding touching his.
Yet from Lance’s point of view, she was disgusted by him, and she was refusing him.
His eyes became colder and more terrifying.
Yvette did not know what was going on in Lance’s mind. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was
Ellen.

Subconsciously, she felt that right now wasn’t the right time to pick up the call, so she wanted to hang
up.
Unexpectedly, Lance spat out coldly, “Pick it up.”
Yvette hesitated for a moment, and then she did as she was told.
“Yve, did you get home safely? I heard from Charlie today that…”
“Ellen.” Yvette interrupted Ellen abruptly. For some reason, Yvette’s heart suddenly beat fast.
“Yeah?”
“I’m fine. I’m great. I’m going to sleep.”
After Yvette finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Ellen could react.
The tense atmosphere in the room gave Yvette goosebumps.
However, there were certain things that couldn’t go away simply because one was trying to avoid them.
Sure enough, Lance’s eyebrows were cold, and he asked with a half–smile, “He cares about you a lot?”
His smile made Yvette inexplicably tremble. She figured that she had better explain certain things to
Lance.
His misunderstanding wouldn’t do anyone good, including her and Charlie.
She thought about it and said, “Lance, let’s talk.”
Lance stared at her with his pitch–black eyes, remaining silent.
Yvette sat up straight. They were close to each other, and she was petite. It almost looked like she was

in his embrace.
She couldn’t have a serious conversation with him in such a position.
Then she ignored the coldness in his eyes and said, “I know you are very concerned about Jaiden’s
health. Like you, I also want Jaiden to be well. Since we can’t get a divorce this month, we might as
well sign an agreement so that we can get along. Both you and I will abide by it.”
“An agreement?” Lance pursed his lips slightly, his face exceptionally cold.
“Yes,” Yvette continued. “First of all, we need to keep our distance. After all, given our relationship,
some things will be improper for us to do now. You don’t want Yazmin to be sad, do you?”
Lance did not say anything. He just looked at her coldly.
“Second, we will not interfere with each other. I will not ask you about your personal affairs, and I
expect you
to return the favor. Of course, you can’t threaten people around me as you please.
“And the third is…”
Yvette hesitated for a moment. Then she said, “Please don’t have kids before we’re officially divorced.
It will
be too much for me, and I don’t think Jaiden and others can accept it as well. Just… use protection,
OK?”
