Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 868

"Why… Why does Wilson get her love so easily?" Xavier stared down at his phone, his expression dark and brooding. His grip on the device tightened, teetering on the brink of shattering it. A whirlwind of emotions churned in his chest—jealousy, frustration, and a deep ache he couldn't suppress.

"Xavier."

The calm voice behind him snapped him out of his spiraling thoughts. He quickly straightened, pushing aside his turmoil as he turned to face the man.

"Mr. Maximillian," he greeted respectfully.

Theodore was wearing a tailored suit that embodied sophistication.

"I overheard your conversation with Yvie just now," Theodore began, his voice measured as he walked closer. "I must admit that I'm curious about the man who managed to capture my student's heart."

Xavier's jaw clenched. "Mr. Maximillian, I think it's too soon for Yvie to bring him here. They haven't known each other long enough."

Theodore studied Xavier, a faint sigh escaping his lips. He understood Xavier's feelings all too well. Both Xavier and Yvette were his prized protégés, and he'd always imagined them ending up together. But Yvette's determination to introduce Wilson made one thing clear—her feelings weren't fleeting.

"Xavier," he said after a moment, his tone softer but firm. "If Yvie has made up her mind, then I trust her judgment."

Xavier's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms. Theodore's words stung as they were a silent endorsement of Wilson.

Theodore placed a hand on Xavier's shoulder, saying, "You can't force love, Xavier. Some things are just beyond our control."

Xavier didn't respond to that. His dark eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flickering within them. "What if I refuse to accept that?"
