Chapter 32
Samantha thought, “That’s true. Without compar, how would others know how terrible Yvonne is and how excellent I im? Mary was spot on. Let that country bumpkin face some embarrassment. After all, Mr. Matthew Sanchez has been a prominent figure for half a lifetime and won’t bother with such an insignificant person.
“Skip lunch for me today, Yvonne told the servants while heading upstairs. Once entering her room, she locked the door and hit the sack. She’d been sketching all night, so she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When Yosef and Cherry heard that their precious daughter skipped lunch, they immediately summoned the cook and asked. “Did Yvonne not like today’s breakfast?”
Ivan felt unjustly blamed. “Ms. Yvonne Lynch left her seat because of something Ms. Samantha Lynch said. It’s not about breakfast
“Samantha?” Yosef and Cherry were puzzled and then asked. “What did Samantha say?”
Ivan explained. “Ms. Samantha Lynch didn’t say much. She just wanted Ms. Yvonne Lynch to visit Mr. Matthew Sanchez and asked if she wouldn’t mind taking her along. However, Ms. Yvonne Lynch didn’t agree.
Locking eyes, Cherry and Yosef promptly said. “Ask Samantha to come here”
When Samantha was summoned, she was surprised that Yvonne had reported such a trivial matter to her parents. How could someone her age throw tantrums and refuse to eat? She felt a pang of injustice but put on an innocent and teary face.
Samantha said. “Dad, Mom, I didn’t say anything harsh to Yvonne I just asked if she could take me along. Mr. Matthew Sanchez wanted to see me. He kept messaging me, asking me to visit him, but I was busy with exams back then and didn’t have time to go.”
Seeing their half–believing looks, Samantha quickly pulled out her phone and showed them the chat records. Look, these are Mr. Matthew Sanchez’s messages to me, and the dates are shown as well. He really wanted to see me and asked me several times. I only had time today, so I thought of going together.”
Cherry was caught off guard by the twist in the tale. She thought, It looks like we got it all wrong. How could Samantha be Trying to snatch Yvonne’s fance?
Yvonne had no idea what had happened that morning. When she woke up, the clock had already pointed to one in the afternoon. After a quick wash and change of clothes, as she opened her door, she heard commotion downstairs.
“Christopher, you’re so generous with the gifts, and you even prepared a gift for Yvonne’s meeting with Mr. Matthew Sanchez. It’s very kind of you, but we’d like to prepare the meeting gift ourselves. We insist,” said Yosef.
Surprised. Yvonne mused. Is Christopher here? Wasn’t he supposed to meet me at the gate? How did he get in?
“You’re being too kind. Yvonne is my fiancée, so the meeting gif should naturally be prepared by me, Christopher said. As he finished speaking, he noticed Yvonne walking down the stairs. She dressed casually, revealing her long legs and exquisite features. Maybe due to lack of sleep, there was a hint of impatience in her eyes. It all seemed to make her exceptionally cule.
“Yvonne, you must be starving by now.” Yosef and Cherry hurried over, expressing their concern. “Have something before you go. We’ve got your meal all warmed up
“I’m not hungry,” Yvonne replied. She just wanted to go through the motions at the hospital and get back to work. She planned to check out the company Yosef had given her on Monday, so she didn’t have time for personal matters.
However, Cherry was worried that she’d go hungry. “The kitchen is all set up. Just have a little something. Christopher, come join her. You two can eat together.”
Yosef added, “Yeah, Christopher usually eats at the company’s cafeteria and probably isn’t full. Both of you should eat

something
So, the two of them ate before heading out.
Meanwhile, Matthew couldn’t stop checking himself in the mirror. “William, check my hair quickly. Does it look messy? Are my clothes neat enough” Knowing he was going to meet his granddaughter–in–law today, his heart was pounding with
excitement
William Hopkins, the butler, said helplessly, “Sir, you’ve checked yourself in the mirror countless times. People might think you’re about to see your own wife.”
“Come on!” Matthew put away the mirror and urged. “Go to the doorway and see if they’ve arrived yet.”
William replied, “I already told Marty to message me before they set off”
As soon as William finished speaking, his phone made a sound, receiving a new message. It was from Marty, saying they were getting ready to leave and would be at the hospital in ten minutes.
“Hurry, go greet them” Matthew was extremely excited, urging William. “What are you waiting for? Go
In the luxurious ride, Yvonne appeared a bit drowsy. As the car bumped along the way, she gradually drifted off to sleep,
“Mr. Sanchez, we’re arriving–Marty’s words were cut short by a low reminder from Christopher, “Don’t make a sound”
Glancing through the rearview mirror, Marty finally noticed Yvonne had dozed off
As the car cane to a gentle stop, Yvonne’s head leaned to the side and Christopher reached out to delicately support her face. Her cheeks were soft and smooth. Beneath her elegant brows, her curly lashes gently closed. She was like a well- behaved child.
Even without makeup, she was strikingly beautiful and flawless in every way. Christopher studied her features, drew near, and lent her his shoulder, allowing her to rest more comfortably
Marry’s eyes widened in disbelief. He thought, Isn’t Mr. Sanchez a germaphobe Yet, here he is willingly getting close to a woman. Unbelievable!
Watching from outside the car, William was equally shocked with his jaw dropped. He thought his eyes were deceiving him. Rubbing them once again, he made sure that Christopher was indeed lending his shoulder to a girl and looking at her with. never–before–seen tender gaze. He asked inwardly. Did Mr. Sanchez develop feelings for this girl? Who on earth is she?!
Yvonne didn’t know how long she had been asleep when she opened her eyes and found herself leaning on Christopher’s shoulder. The car was already parked in the hospital’s garage
“Did I fall asleep?” Yvonne noticed the clock in the car pointing to three o’clock, realizing she had been sleeping on his shoulder for quite a while. “Sorry. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“Did you sleep late last night?” Christopher’s tone was gentle without a hint of reproach “I wanted you to get some more
“Since Ms. Lynch is awake. Mr. Sanchez, you two can go ahead. I grab the gift and catch up with you,” Marty said.
“Sure, Christopher replied
As Marty was about to get the gift, he heard Yvonne say, “I prepared my own gifi.”
Marty was surprised, just like Christopher. However, as he discreetly sized up Yvonne, he thought to himself, ‘She isn’t carrying any bags with her. Where’s this so–called gifi?”

“Mr. Sanchez, are you sure I don’t need to take the gift you prejured Marty asked, sounding skeptical.
“Yeah, let’s go with what
with what Yvonne says, Christopher said.
Christopher walked by Yvonne’s side, drawing countless glances due to their striking looks.
