"Bennett, I'm being serious," Yvonne said, pushing him away lightly, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"So am I." Bennett's arm snaked around her slim waist, pulling her into his lap as he kissed her again.
Just as they were lost in their passionate kiss, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Bennett, you…" Emma began as she walked in carrying a thermos, only to find Bennett and Yvonne locked in a kiss. They broke apart in a fluster at her sudden intrusion.
Yvonne's face turned beet red, and she wished the floor would swallow her whole.
Bennett, sitting on the edge of the bed, remained relatively calm, though a flicker of annoyance crossed his face. Being interrupted was never pleasant.
"Could you please knock next time?"
"Fine," Emma replied coolly, walking into the room with her thermos.
"Mrs. Moore," Yvonne greeted her politely.
Emma gave her a cold nod and ignored her.
Yvonne had been by Bennett's side constantly, while Emma only visited occasionally.
She never gave Yvonne a hard time, but her attitude was always frosty.
Yvonne knew Emma didn't like her and would find an excuse to leave whenever she arrived. This time was no different.
"I'll go get his medication from the nurse," Yvonne said, quickly exiting the room.
Once again, the room was left to just Emma and Bennett.
Emma opened the thermos, releasing a fragrant aroma.
As the heir to the Thompson family, Bennett had the freedom to marry whomever he pleased.
Emma's dislike for Yvonne probably stemmed from just how much Bennett loved her.
Years ago, Bennett had nearly destroyed himself over a woman, and Emma, as his mother, never wanted to see that happen again.
A whirlwind romance sounded beautiful, but it was a double-edged sword that could leave one scarred.
More than love, Emma wanted a stable, warm marriage for Bennett with a wife from a similar background, someone well-mannered with whom he could share a life.
They could have a child or two and support each other through life.
Emma knew Bennett wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't bother pressing the issue.
She didn't dare argue with him, not after his major surgery.
