Chapter 622
For a brief moment, Yvonne’s mind went blank. She clenched her lower lip, fear finally showing in her eyes. “Jonathan, don’t you think this is too cruel? It was you who proposed to me first. You let me fall in love with you for so many years, and now you’re telling me you’ve fallen for someone else!”
Jonathan’s serious, “Sorry, love is something I can’t control!”
Four years ago, after being rejected by Yvonne, he never thought about dating again. For the past few years abroad, he had been so busy that he had almost forgotten that he was married and had a wife.
After returning home, he didn’t expect to fall in love again, and now he truly understood that his feelings for Yvonne and his feelings for Estelle were completely different..
Yvonne turned her head away, letting tears fall without wiping them away, sitting straight.

“Not yet. Estelle doesn’t want to go public, and I want to wait until she graduates before discussing our future.”
Yvonne smiled bitterly through her tears, “Do you think your parents will agree?”
Jonathan’s tone was light but unmistakable, “It’s my business. Whether others agree or not won’t affect my decision.”
Yvonne scoffed, “Yeah, you’ve always been like that, including going off to join the army without a word, no one can change your decision.”
Jonathan felt he had said enough. He picked up his coat from the chair, “Estelle is waiting for me. I should go back.”
Yvonne looked sad, “Jonathan, how did she beat me? Is it just because I came back a few months later? If we competed fairly, who would you choose?”
“It’s not that you’re worse, it’s that she’s too good!” Jonathan answered all her questions in one sentence.
Yvonne’s heart ached, but she nodded slowly, suppressing her pain, “I understand. You can go.”
Jonathan got up and walked two steps before stopping. His tone was flat and cold, “What happened between us has nothing to do with Estelle. Stay away from her. I don’t want to see you inviting her out alone like today.”
After picking Estelle up at the café and getting questioned by her in the car, Yvonne had called him out right after. How could he not guess that Yvonne had met Estelle alone and told her about the proposal back then?
Yvonne’s face changed at his words, “Are you threatening me?”
“It’s not a threat, it’s a reminder.” Jonathan looked at Yvonne coldly. “Anyone who hurts her is my enemy.”
Yvonne’s pupils shook, and she stared blankly at the man.
Jonathan didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Yvonne stared at the closed door, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart. She couldn’t accept it, not at all. This man belonged to her, why should Estelle be allowed to steal him?
It was just a matter of a few months that she returned late. Could those few months determine a person’s entire life?
No way Estelle was better than her. In terms of family background, education, looks, and career, she was a hundred times superior to Estelle! What was so special about Estelle other than her looks for him to like her so much?
Yvonne covered her face with both hands, tears gushing like a fountain. She had seen too many attractive yet impoverished girls who did unprincipled things to seduce wealthy men.
Jonathan disappointed her. He, too, would fall for such a girl like those men blinded by lust.
He would understand, he would wake up, and he would definitely come back to her!
Yvonne took a deep breath, wiped her tear-stained face with a tissue, and picked up her phone to make a call, “Help me investigate a girl named Estelle from the University of J City. Her family, her past, and everything that happened after she started working as a tutor at the Lamont family. I want every detail!”
The woman hung up the phone, her eyes cold and determined. She wanted to see what tricks Estelle had used to bewitch Jonathan like this!
