Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1587

Yvenne's words brought the whole table to a standstill. Even Nash, who was usually the most self-assured, held back from keeping the conversation going, casting a puzzled glance at Yvenne.

After a moment of silence, Jackson placed the peeled shrimp into Fiona's bowl, slowly took off his gloves, and finally looked up at Yvenne. His eyes were flat, showing a clear indifference.

"First off, we're not on first-name terms. Just like everyone else, you should call me Mr. Carter. Second, Fiona is an exception for me. Lastly, if you know you're not as sharp as Fiona, maybe take a page from her book."

With that, he said coldly, "Let's eat."

Fiona, who had been enjoying her shrimp, felt her heart do a little dance at Jackson's words, "Fiona is an exception for me."

With half a shrimp still in her mouth, she looked up at Jackson, her eyes forming crescent moons, making her look utterly charming.

"But, that's not what I meant, Mr. Carter... I..." Yvenne tried to clarify.

Jackson didn't even bother with a glance in her direction.

Under the table, Yvenne clenched her fists and bit her lower lip, looking like a girl who had been wronged.

In truth, no one was picking on her.

"Just stop!" Tyler snapped, unable to hold back.

He was at his wit's end. He had brought Yvenne here to give her a glimpse of the world, not to have her bad-mouth Fiona.

He was protective of Fiona and wouldn't stand for her being the subject of gossip.

"Brother Jules..."

Tyler didn't even spare her a cold look, his gaze filled with a sense of unfamiliarity.
