He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 15

Because of this, both women dialed back their open hostility. Furthermore, on paper, the Thorne family had been the ones to sponsor Juniper's education.

Lydia quickly hurried over. "Grandma, didn't the doctors say you shouldn't be out in the wind? What are you doing out here?"

Eleanor looked at Yvonne with clear satisfaction. "I asked you to find Juniper for me, and you told me it was impossible. But here I am, bumping into her on my own. Juniper and I are going to have a quiet lunch, so please don't disturb us."

Yvonne nodded gracefully, playing the role of the dutiful daughter-in-law flawlessly.

In high spirits, Eleanor walked past Yvonne, leading the way to the restaurant.

Trailing behind her, Juniper felt a piercing gaze bore into her back.

It was Yvonne.

Yvonne's lips were pressed into a tight line, her face dangerously dark.

Juniper knew she was in for a world of trouble.

Even after the two women walked away, Yvonne remained rooted to the spot.

Hiding the calculation in her eyes, Lydia looped her arm through Yvonne's again. "Grandma used to be so close to Juniper when she was recovering in Oakley. If she takes Juniper's side, then everything that happened back then might..."

Yvonne scoffed softly, patting Lydia's hand. "Your grandmother has a weak heart. Do you really think Juniper would dare bring up the past and risk upsetting her?"

Lydia sighed in feigned relief, but maintained an anxious expression. "I know, but Nelson's finally back to normal. I can't bear the thought of Juniper ruining him again. Don't you think we should figure out a way to make her leave Capital City?"

Yvonne hadn't planned on rushing things, but Juniper was proving to be fiercely disobedient, immediately latching onto Eleanor.
