Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 718

"Baby..." Wilson's voice was a low, seductive purr. He drew out his words, sending shivers down one's spine.

Yvette was helpless against his charms and could only say, "Let me just check on Nancy. I'll come back to keep you company soon."

"Okay." He finally released his grip on her hand, watching as she walked away.

"Come on, Wilson. Stop staring. Yvette is already gone! And besides, she'll be back soon. Do you really need to act like a lovesick teenager?" Collin teased as he chuckled.

Wilson's eyes narrowed, and he gave Collin a condescending look before snorting in amusement. "You're not married, so you wouldn't understand."

Collin was lost for words. He thought to himself, "Give us a break from all the lovey-dovey smothering!"

Collin felt a thousand pangs of hurt, and his face twisted in distaste. "I'm much happier being single! Wilson, I'd never want to be stuck under my wife's thumb like you. Even if I get married, I'll still wear the pants in the relationship."

Wilson didn't bother responding. Collin could talk tough all he wanted, but when he met the right person, he'd surely be eating his words.

As if remembering something, Colin said, "Wilson, I'm glad you're okay."

Collin still felt a shiver run down his spine when he thought about what had happened earlier. If Wilson hadn't grabbed onto those vines on the cliff, he would have fallen to his death for sure.

"Weren't you scared, Wilson?"

Wilson's face was calm and resolute as he replied, "I'm more afraid of losing Yvie than of dying."
