Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 697

"As soon as possible," Bennett replied with a smile, his hand under the table subconsciously finding and holding Yvonne's.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow but let him hold her hand obediently.

Bennett was, after all, the heir apparent of the Thompson family. He was the center of attention no matter where he went. His arrival completely stole the thunder from the newlyweds, Eden and Yolanda.

Noticing this, Vincent cleared his throat and reminded them, "Eden, Yolanda, it's time to toast the elders."

Eden and Yolanda finally snapped out of their daze and proceeded with the wedding reception, toasting the guests.

However, both of their faces were grim; they looked more like they were at a funeral than a wedding.

The VIP table was filled with influential figures discussing politics and business. Fearing Yvonne would be bored, Bennett stood up to leave after a short while.

"Leaving so soon?" Frank asked, puzzled.

"I'm moving to another table. It's too dull here with you all," Bennett said, standing up and taking Yvonne's hand to leave.

"That rascal. Let's just ignore him," Frank said with a laugh.

"Mr. Bennett Thompson is young and accomplished, the most promising of his generation. Frank, you don't need to be so modest," Mr. Staley teased, and the others chimed in with agreement.

Bennett had already led Yvonne to the table for the younger generation.

Noah and Karina White were there too.

Seeing Bennett, Karina was not only shocked but also a little embarrassed.

During Bennett's recent injury, his condition had been kept secret. The outside world, Karina included, believed he was on the verge of death.

Bennett pulled Yvonne to sit next to Noah.

"Are you all better?" Noah turned to Bennett, looking him up and down.

During Bennett's hospitalization, his condition had been kept confidential, so even Noah didn't know the truth.

Noah had often visited the hospital but could never see him, so he would just sit outside the ICU for a while, which made Bennett feel incredibly guilty.

"I'm fine. I'm lucky, didn't die. But I did disappoint some people," Bennett said, his cold gaze sweeping over Karina.

The smile on Karina's exquisitely made-up face was so stiff it was about to crack.

Noah felt a pang of embarrassment and cleared his throat, changing the subject.
