Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 245

His protective gesture sent the reporters into another frenzy of delighted squeals, their faces practically screaming, *They are so perfect together!*

After throwing a few more questions their way, the press finally backed off.

Meanwhile.

Yvette walked out of the towering building and looked up at the sky.

Brilliant fireworks were still exploding overhead, lighting up the dark clouds before fading away just as quickly.

So, Jabez had orchestrated all of this entirely for Willow.

She thought back to the day they got their marriage license. He had been visibly irritated, his face like thunder. After the paperwork was signed, he hadn't even bothered to speak a single word to her before storming off.

Jabez had completely refused to make their marriage public, let alone agree to host a wedding.

The Yeats family, along with a few close friends of the Shelbys, had shared a simple dinner, and that was the extent of their "wedding."

Compared to the grandiose spectacle he had put on for Willow tonight, her own ceremony felt pitifully pathetic.

The more she thought about it, the harder the sting in her nose became. The suffocating grievances she had suppressed for so long crashed over her like a tidal wave, threatening to drown her entirely.

A freezing, miserable drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Pedestrians hurried their pace, and someone accidentally slammed into Yvette's shoulder. She stumbled hard, but thankfully, the stranger quickly caught her arm to steady her.

"I'm so sorry."

Yvette shook her head mechanically as she felt a small flutter from the baby in her stomach.

She still had her child. She couldn't afford to get sick. Forcing herself to keep moving, she rushed under a nearby awning to take shelter from the rain.

This was the heart of downtown Kingsbrook, and with the evening rush, it was nearly impossible to flag down a cab.

The autumn rain carried a biting chill. The wind whipped right through her clothes and deep into her bones, leaving her shivering uncontrollably as the freezing mist plastered her hair against her face.

It took half an hour before Yvette finally managed to get into a taxi.

By the time she returned to the Suttons' residence, it was already 10 PM.

Matthew jumped when he saw her damp hair and shivering form. "Didn't you take a car out? How did you end up getting rained on?"

"I'm fine."
