Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 214

"That's what best friends are for."

Yvette received a call from Matthew.

"There's an industry event tonight. My dad wants me to take you."

"Alright. I understand." Yvette's fingers curled inward, a wave of inexplicable nerves washing over her.

"I'll pick you up this evening."

The hours flew by.

At 6 PM.

A black Mercedes pulled up outside Skyview Gardens.

Yvette was wearing a dress she had borrowed from Charlotte. It was a strapless gown.

The elegant ruching across the midsection perfectly concealed the very slight bump of her pregnancy.

A flash of pure admiration crossed Matthew's eyes.

"Is Professor Crispin attending tonight?" Yvette asked as she looked at him.

"I asked. He wouldn't say."

Yvette gripped the fabric of her skirt anxiously.

The car pulled away.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the venue.

Matthew offered his arm, and Yvette slipped hers through it.

To accommodate her, Matthew intentionally slowed his pace as they walked inside.

Almost immediately, someone approached Matthew.

"Mr. Sutton! I heard a rumor that the Professor is making an appearance tonight. Is it true?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," Matthew replied with an easy shrug. "My dad didn't tell me."

After a brief exchange, the man walked away.

"Matthew, my gut tells me your dad is going to be here."
