It was unbelievable. Jenkins was back.
His expression was grim.
He'd heard everything that Yvonne said.
Yvonne trembled slightly.
"Natalie, I'll get going now. See you." Yvonne hung up the phone in a hurry.
Jenkins stood there with a grim expression.
On top of his cold aura, his grim expression made him look like the reincarnation of Lucifer.
Yvonne walked over to him fearfully.
She tried to smile. "Mr. Quartley, you're back?"
Jenkins did not answer. He only stared at Yvonne.
She felt a chill down her spine.
Yvonne gulped under his watchful gaze.
She blinked her beautiful eyes at him and asked, "Mr. Quartley, did you overhear me on the phone?"
Jenkins' expression fell even further.
Yvonne placed her hand on Jenkins's neck and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Quartley, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about other men. How could I compare a one-in-a-million man like you to other men?"
Even Yvonne herself felt that these words were fake.
After saying this, she got goosebumps all over her body.
However, she still mustered up the courage to meet Jenkins's cold gaze.
Because she had to convince Jenkins that her words were sincere.
Jenkins's gaze deepened.
This woman...
A mixture of feelings surged in his heart.
He knew that this woman was a liar.
However, even he had fallen for her lies.
Yuna told Peter that she was going to go home.
Peter was very surprised.
After all, he could see that Yuna was very interested in Tobias.
He had not expected that a few days later, Yuna would suggest returning home.
"Yuna, are you sure you want to go back?" Peter asked in shock.
Yuna nodded.
She looked at Peter with sincerity. "Grandpa, I don't want to put you in a hard position."
Her words touched Peter's heartstrings.
Peter's heart was about to melt.
He was overwhelmed with guilt.
He coughed. "Yuna, I'm sorry!"
Yuna obediently shook her head. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I just hope that you can be at peace. Only then will you live a long life. What's more..."
She paused before continuing with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm still so young, and I still have a lot of time to plan for my future. You don't have to worry about it for the time being, okay?"
Yuna had left herself a way out.
After all, she did not really intend to give up on Tobias.
The shock that she had experienced at sixteen was deeply imprinted at the bottom of her heart. How could she let go so easily?
It was just that she knew when to make a move, and when to back down.
Having stayed in the Whitlock family's villa for the past few days, she was well aware of Tobias's attitude, even more so because of their dinner the night before. Tobias had pretty much killed the conversation.
If she continued to stay here, it would only make Tobias feel repulsed. There might not even be any chances left for her in the future.
And if she left now, it might make Tobias think more highly of her.
After all, to Yuna, Tobias's home was still in United States and he'd have to go back there eventually. When he was back there, they'd have chances to meet up anytime.
Although there were too many variables involved in this, she had to take a step back, as it was the best decision.
Peter's gaze deepened slightly upon hearing Yuna's words.
