Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Yvonne was the type of person who would always stand up for herself. She would never let anyone mock or taunt her without a fight. She could sense Guinevere’s jiving tone earlier, and she didn’t care if it was intentional. She just had to fight back.

Once Yvonne was done talking, Guinevere’s face turned blank and frigid. The air got tense again. Silent awkwardness ruled the table.

Nobody spoke. Yvonne dangled a spoon aimlessly, not knowing what she said. Lucas pushed food onto Yvonne’s plate, urging her to eat. Yvonne accepted the food without saying anything

Yvonne knew that Guinevere didn’t like the fact that she had a baby out of wedlock because it was something that tarnished her pure and noble reputation, but she deceived herself into thinking that she was fine. She might pretend that it didn’t matter to her, but she was obviously troubled by it.

 As for Yvonne, she didn’t care that they had a child out of wedlock. Things could happen, especially between a couple who had spent a lot of time together. However, she found it amusing that a woman looked down on people who had children out of wedlock when she had a child with Weston before they got married. 

Yvonne wouldn’t have brought up a topic like this at the dinner table. Not only would it make things awkward, but it might also offend or anger someone. She would’ve been just as respectful to Guinevere had she not taunted her earlier.

It was still dead silent at the dinner table. Weston calmly and gracefully cut up the beef steak into smaller pieces. He then exchanged his plate with Guievere. He did this in complete silence, but he still had the attention of everyone at the table. He showed that he was devoted to Guinevere without needing to say a single word.
