Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

James composed himself.

James had somewhat lost his composure today.

At his age, James couldn’t stay as calm as Yvetle.

James said. “Yvette, I’m really embarrassed today. I’m sorry.”

Yvente nodded slightly, her expression as cool as ever. “It’s fine.”

Yvette had a lot of respect for James who devoted his entire life to the country.

James spent a whole lifetime to his career, which was easy to say, but hard to do.

As the food arrived, the three of them ate quietly..

While eating. James noticed Yvette liked the shrimp, so he even called the waiter to order another plate of shrimp.

As the meal was coming to an end, James brought up the new energy launch again. “Yvette, are you not planning to show up at the new energy launch? The world’s media will be there.”

Yvette took a sip of her juice and said casually, “Nope.”

Wette decisively turned down James’s invite again, and James wasn’t surprised because he thought Yvette was indeed, as Simon said, indifferent to fame and fortune.

James thought, “Yvette is so young, but I have to admire her placid attitude”

James said, “Alright, let’s stick to the original plan, and you don’t turn down the credit.”

Yvette responded unhurriedly, “Okay.”

During the meal, James was pleasantly surprised to discover that Yvette was like a hidden treasure.

No matter what James said, Yvette could follow up with sentences that were right on target. Her insights into physics were exceptionally original, which made James feel like he had finally met a kindred spirit, even though it was late in life..

James said, “Yvette, have you considered joining the physics lab? With your talent and abilities, you’d excel there?

James essentially gave Yvette a backdoor opportunity.

Usually, getting into the physics lab required passing a series of rigorous evaluations, and only the cream of the crop made it 11.

Those who worked in the lab couldn’t afford to slack off.

The physics lab conducts evaluations every quarter, and the lowest performer would be eliminated.

Over the years, James had never given anyone special treatment, and this was the first time he had extended such an invitation to Yvette, a young woman in her twenties.

Yvette paused and looked at James who was expectant and nervous, and she said in a cold voice. “Thank you for your invitation, but I already have other plans, so I don’t intend to go to the physics lab.”

James sighed, realizing that since Yvette already declined, so he couldn’t insist.

Just at this moment, Michael suddenly piped up, “Yvette, let’s eat fish, big fish”

Yvette nodded. “Alright, you eat some too?

Michael grinned sheepishly, scratching his head.

Seeing this, a thought sparked in James‘ mind. The physics lab might have been a lost cause, but there was another way that might work out.

James considered for a moment and then gave Yvette a kind surile, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to bunch up together.

James asked, “Yvette, what do you think of me?”

Michael’s forks dropped onto the table.

Yvette paused her hand in midair, and her bright eyes were fixed on James.

Yvette said, “What?”

James suddenly realized that what he’d said didn’t come out right, and he quickly tried to explain. “Yvette, I’d like to become your grandpa. If you agree, I’ll host a small gathering with friends and family to celebrate in a few days. What do you think?”

James, afraid that Yvette might turn him down again, quickly exclaimed, “Yvette, I’ve always wished for a granddaughter

and years. my wish still hasn’t come true. Can you make this dream come true for me? I’m since I was young. It’s been practically one foot in the grave, and this is my only wish.”

With that, James seemed on the verge of breaking into tears.

The whole scene seemed odd.

There was a girl with a calm expression and an old man pretending to cry without tears.

Seeing Yvette not agreeing, James decided to make a bigger effort.

James didn’t care about losing face and was determined to bring Yvette into the Owens family.

Yvette calmly sipped some sweet soup, wiped her mouth, and looked at James, who seemed ready to make a bold move.

Yvette crossed her legs and spoke slowly, “Did you and Mr. Chavez attend the same school?”

James paused for a moment, not immediately understanding. “Are you talking about Jase?”

James was sure that when Yvette mentioned Mr. Chavez, she meant Jase.

After all, in Betrico, the only Mr. Chavez known was Jase.

James never expected that Yvette would know Jase.

James asked, “You know Jase?”

Yvette nodded slightly. “I met him yesterday, and you two are quite similar.”

James immediately got all worked up.

For years, neither he nor Jase would back down to the other.

Though now Jase was an old commander, Jase and James grew up together as carefree kids. They knew each other well.

“Yvette, don’t let that old guy, Jase, fool you. Itis acting skills are far behind mine.

Yvette put down her glass of water and stayed silent.

Meanwhile, Jase suddenly sneezed during a meeting

Jase’s security guard immediately rushed over, anxiously asking Jase needed to call his doctor.

Jase said it wasn’t necessary and thought, ‘How strange it was to suddenly yawn on such a hot day?”

Inside the private room, James enthusiastically recounted all the embarrassing stories from when he and Jase were kids.

Mostly, they were about Jase.

James talked for half an hour before stopping to sip his coffee.

James‘ throat felt and Yvette listened quietly for the whole half–hour

This was good. Yvette thought maybe she had been following too much gossip lately.

Yvette glanced down at her phone.

[I’m coming to pick you up. What’s the address?]

Yvette tapped the screen to send the address and then looked up “I agreed.”

James suddenly stopped talking and thought, ‘Happiness comes so suddenly that I’m a bit taken aback.

James kept saying, ‘I never thought I’d live to see the day I have a granddaughter.”

After finishing. James looked at Yvette with anticipation and asked, “Dear, could you call me Grandpa just once? It’s okay if you can’t

Yvette stared at James for a few seconds and then said, “Grandpa

Michael clapped and grinned foolishly.

Hearing Yvette call him Grandpa, James, overwhelmed with excitement, immediately took out a simple box from his pocket, which was the gift he wanted to give Mary.

Yvette thought, Is it the emerald hairpin that Michael mentioned as belonging to Mary!”

James acquired the emerald hairpin through a friend from an antique auction, and it was valued at thirty million

James placed the box in Yvette’s hands and said with excitement. “Yvette, keep this gift. I’m not sure if you will like it. If you do, wear it. If you don’t, just set it aside for now, and it’s up to you. I don’t have anything valuable to give you, only this small trinket. Hold onto it, and maybe one day when you visit me, I’ll have my collection to show you. You can choose whatever you like.”

There were a hundred ways James spoiled Yvette, and it was just the beginning.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
