The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 704

Giselle saw right through Willow's thinly veiled matchmaking. Yulen was married with a kid. Did Willow seriously think she was a recycling bin for used men?

"I have some other guests to greet. Excuse me," she said with a fake smile and slipped away.

The moment she was out of earshot, Willow smacked Yulen's arm. "You are completely useless!"

Sylvan strolled over with a few old friends from the capital. Giselle practically skipped over, greeting them with practiced sweetness.

His friends showered her with compliments, telling Sylvan how lucky he was to have such a beautiful, well-mannered daughter. Sylvan swelled with pride. He used to hide his illegitimate children out of shame, but not having an heir to show off had always eaten at him. Having Giselle act as a stand-in perfectly stroked his ego. Plus, knowing Wynne would be joining him to cut the cake tonight sent a thrill through him.

Giselle raked in a few more astronomically expensive gifts, her mood soaring. High society birthdays were the best—free luxury goods and a massive ego boost.

Then, the ballroom doors opened, and Wynne walked in.

But she wasn't alone. Winona was right beside her.

Wearing a flawlessly tailored white gown that hugged her curves and accentuated her luminous skin, Winona looked breathtaking. The second she stepped into the room, every head turned.

Giselle bit her lip, a surge of venomous jealousy spiking in her chest. Winona always found a way to steal her spotlight.
