A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

Thomas remained calm and responded, “That would be for the best.” 

Contrary to Thomas’s composure, David was visibly agitated. “I told you, my wife is none of your concern 

Thomas and David were at odds, and some reporters had already turned their cameras towards them. 

To prevent any potential mishaps with the media. Cynthia hurried over. She took David’s hand with one hand and Jasmine’s with the other, addressing Thomas, “Mr. Frost, happy birthday. We’ll head in first with our family. Blocking the entrance here may disrupt the other guests.” 

When Cynthia spoke, she deliberately emphasized the phrase “our family 

Thomas understood her implication. It was a gentle reminder to himself to be mindful of boundaries. A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes, and without saying much, he simply nodded. 

As he watched the family enter the hall. Thomas suddenly felt lightheaded. He delegated the task of welcoming the guests to his son. Paul Frost, and headed directly to the rest area 

Just as Cynthia and the others reached the entrance, another car pulled up at the door. 

Arvin got out of the car and walked around to the passenger seat to open the door, leading Yolanda out of the vehicle. 

Yolanda was wearing the outfit she had tried on in the afternoon, in a size too small. 

Due to the lightness of the dress, she had been sucking in her stomach fiercely along the way, causing her complexion to appear somewhat unfavorable. 

After getting out of the car and noticing the media around her, she had to force a smile on her face again. 

In the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Liam and Cynthia, who had just entered the entrance. Her gaze flickered with deep infatuation. Yolanda thought. He is still so handsome. Even though he had never cared for her, she just couldn’t stop loving him. 

At today’s banquet, Jonathan only invited Arvin. When she heard that Liam would also be present, she casually found an excuse to say she wanted to go as well, fearing Arvin’s suspicions. 

Initially, Arvin was reluctant, but in the end, she offered herself up, which made him relent. She even spent a large sum on buying a new formal dress for herself. 

Yolanda, almost uncontrollably, wanted to follow inside but was abruptly stopped by Arvin 

“Mr. Frost is right here, Arvin remarked, palling Yolanda back by her wrist. Only then did Yolanda regain her senses, politely greeting Paul, “Hello, Mr. Frost 

Paul politely asked Arvin, “Is this your girlfriend, Arvin?” 

Although Yolanda had managed to infiltrate Liam’s circle of friends many years ago through Arvin, her motives were too obvious. Her focus was solely on Liam, and she had never visited the homes of the others, so Paul didn’t know her. 

Arvin was about to nod in agreement when Yolanda hurriedly interjected, “Mr. Frost, Arvin and I, as well as Jonathan, are good friends.” 

Yolanda did not want them to associate her with Arvin, as she still harbored hopes of a chance with Liam. 

At his words, Arvin’s body shook slightly. He turned to look at Yolanda in disbelief, noting her resolute and cautious expression. 

He suddenly chuckled self–deprecatingly and awkwardly said to Paul, “Mr. Frost, you heard correctly. We’re just friends.” 

Paul, luving come from a youthful background himself, already had a good guess from their interactions. 

Patting Arvin on the shoulder, he remarked, “Looks like you still have some work to do. 

Arvin nodded in response. 

“Alright, you both go ahead. Jonathan is inside, and you can catch up there,” Paul said. “Okay,” Arvin said. 

The hall was already filling up with several guests, including many from prominent families. 

As Liam and his group entered, Jonathan, who was welcoming guests, immediately spotted them.

Hastily approaching, he first politely greeted Jasmine and David, then greeted Cymbia 

Cynthia nodded with a smile. 

Jonathan then turned to Liam and remarked, “I thought you wouldn’t come.” 

Liam smiled and cast a 

ast a glance at 

at Cynthia, saying, “Can’t I accompany my wife?” 

The affectionate tone made Jonathan shudder. 

At this moment, Jasmine led Cynthia towards the pastry area on the side. 

“I heard that the Frost family’s chef makes exquisite pastries. Let’s go taste them,” Jasmine said. 

“Sure. Cynthia said. 

After wandering all afternoon without eating, their stomachs began to grumble, so they readily decided to have some pastries first 

Meanwhile, David naturally followed Jasmine, keeping a lookout for any ill–intentioned individuals. 

Liam watched the three of them getting along harmoniously and smiled genuinely 

This smile was unlike his usual cold and silent demeanor. 

Jonathan was taken aback, and after a while, he jokingly commented, “Liam, this isn’t like you. How did that silly smile appear on your face! It’s truly unbelievable” 

Liam immediately frowned and coldly said, “Get lost.” 

At that moment, Yolanda and Arvin were entering through the front door. 

Seeing the smile on Liam’s face, Yolanda felt her heart skip a beat. 

Arvin wanted to greet Jonathan but noticed Liam standing beside him and abandoned the thought 

With Arvin hesitating to approach, Yolanda also held back from going over. 

Watching Arvin’s timidity, she felt a surge of anger in her heart. 

“What a disappointment. Now even his only use as gone, she thought. 

She was scheming secretly in her mind. 

If Arvin continued to avoid Liam, she wouldn’t waste time following him all the time.

She had to come up with a plan to intersect with Liam again. 

Meanwhile, Liam, on the other side, appeared as if he hadn’t seen them and then turned to Jansthan.
