Chapter 2801
"Why isn't Eevonne here? Was it because she was too busy with work? No matter how swamped she was, her cousin-in- law has returned home, so she should have put her work aside. Your Eevonne is such a workaholic. Kingston, you have to persuade your wife. It's such an important occasion where the entire family got together for dinner. It's not easy. We only get to do this once after so many years. How could Eevonne not come?" Marcus looked at Kingston with a criticizing gaze.
Kingston immediately saved himself from the embarrassment by saying, "It's like that, Marcus. We're a family, but Eevonne joined the family rather late. She's not a Yates either, so I didn't let her come. Besides..."
Kingston stopped his sentence mid-way and left the rest unspoken.
Marcus immediately said in a mocking manner, "Wow, wow, wow. Eevonne is not a Yates. I'm not a Yates either. By that logic, I shouldn't be having dinner in this house either, should I? This is your fault as her husband. You have to know that in the past few years when Yvonne is not home, your Eevonne has taken great care of my in-laws! You're wrong for doing this! You're treating your wife as an outsider. N
Kingston touched his head and smiled helplessly. How should he tell him that it was Yvonne who did not want to let
Eevonne into this house?
At that moment, Yvonne said, "Darling! You should think on my behalf. Eevonne...all of you feel that she's family, but I don't know her. You know that the person I'm usually closest with is my cousin. When I left, he was still a person who didn't want to get married. Over the years, there were countless women who were pursuing my cousin, weren't there? How many were there from the entire South City alone? Which of them was not more outstanding than Eevonne? Darling, have you ever seen my cousin taking a fancy to any women? My cousin had planned not to get married in this lifetime, alright? How is it that as soon as I returned, I saw that he was married? I heard that the woman he married was a scammer in the past and she dropped out of middle school. Also..."
Yvonne stopped mid-sentence. The dissatisfaction in her eyes was self-evident.
Marcus glanced at Kingston, who then smiled miserably." Let's first ignore my wife. Let's first have dinner together as a family. Have dinner, alright?"
Marcus did not say anything else anymore. Throughout the entire dinner, everything the entire family did revolve around Yvonne. At that moment, Yvonne repeated what she had already told her parents to Marcus. The main thing was that she emphasized that she had been pregnant. However, she had a miscarriage when she was fleeing for her life.
As Yvonne recounted, she burst out crying at the dining table. "Marcus, I miss our children so much. If I didn't have a miscarriage, my two children would have been almost four years old...Marcus."
Marcus hugged Yvonne. "It's fine, baby. Don't be sad. We'll have many, many children in the future. As long as you're willing, you can have as many children as you want. The Shaw family can afford to raise them anyway."
"If I want to have ten, would you be willing?" Yvonne looked at Marcus, acting cute.
Marcus smiled. "I'll be willing even if you want to have twenty children."
"I'm not a sow. How annoying!" Yvonne was so shy that her face was reddened.
The entire family burst out laughing and it just looked so heartwarming. It made Marcus feel that it was real. He felt that the woman before his eyes was Yvonne. After dinner, Marcus did not stay any longer at Yvonne's parent's house and he brought Yvonne back to the Shaw Residence.
"Darling, I'm so nervous," Yvonne said while touching her chest.
"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like you don't know that your in-laws love you very much. They love you like their own daughter," said Marcus.
"Mm-hmm. I know that. It's just that I've not been home for so many years, so I'm scared."
