Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 130

She picked out a loose-fitting outfit that would help conceal her growing stomach.

She drove to the estate.

This was the first time she had been back since the birthday banquet.

Sybil pulled Yvette's hand into hers affectionately and asked, "Is your grandmother still angry?"

Yvette blanked for a second before remembering the drama at the banquet. "No, she's not mad anymore."

"Oh, thank goodness." The old lady let out a sigh of relief.

The sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase. Yvette didn't even need to look to know it was Jabez.

After all, she had listened for those exact footsteps more times than she could count, waiting for him night after night.

She didn't turn her head.

"Sir, it's time for your medication." A maid approached holding a tube of burn ointment.

Sybil's eyes lit up with an idea. "Yvette, go upstairs and help him apply his medicine."

"The boy managed to get himself terribly burned, and no matter how much I ask, he absolutely refuses to tell me how it happened."

Of course he couldn't tell her.

Sybil openly despised Willow.

If the old lady found out he had suffered third-degree burns saving his mistress, her blood pressure would spike into the danger zone instantly.

"Okay," Yvette agreed.

If she refused, Sybil would never let it go and would only find ten other excuses to force them into a room alone together anyway.

It was easier just to get it over with.

Jabez headed upstairs first, and Yvette trailed quietly behind him.

They entered a bedroom on the second floor.

He slowly unbuttoned his dress shirt and took it off, revealing his heavily muscled torso.

Yvette's eyelashes fluttered. The man in front of her had a perfectly sculpted chest, broad shoulders tapering into a narrow waist, and devastatingly sharp V-lines.

She took one look and immediately turned her head away.

Yet, the image was already burned into her brain, impossible to shake.

He sat down on the edge of the sofa, presenting his broad, scarred back to her.
