The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664 A Smug Substitute

“Yohan has feelings for me?” Yara furrowed her brows upon hearing Diane’s words, bewildered.

She had heard about Nikolai and Diane’s son, Yohan Kennedy.

When it came to having heirs in noble families like the Kennedys, tradition dictated that the more the merrier.

However, Nikolai was unlike the rest of his brothers—he couldn’t bear to let his beloved wife become a baby-making factory. Hence, after Diane gave birth to Yohan, Nikolai underwent a vasectomy to shut up any bossy relatives who were itching to criticize them.

As the sole heir to his father’s legacy, Yohan did not disappoint.

He lived up to his parents’ expectations and always stood out with his brilliance, even among royalty. He was the epitome of a man of culture and intelligence.

Yara never imagined, not even in her wildest dreams, that the stellar Yohan Kennedy would have a crush on her, let alone be obsessed with her.

“That’s right!” Diane affirmed. “Why do you think I chose Chanaea to hold the charity dinner? There are many other cities internationally that would be suited for the Shine Charity Gala, but I went with Chanaea because of you!”

Yara was elated to hear this news, but at the same time, she was still painfully aware of the hold Samuel had on her.

Suppressing her excitement, Yara thanked Diane, “I appreciate your kindness, Lady Diane. But I’m afraid my heart belongs to another.”

“Your heart belongs to another?” Diane repeated incredulously. “Aren’t you still single? Doesn’t that mean that Yohan still has a chance? Of course, I can’t sway your feelings, but shouldn’t you at least give Yohan a fair chance?”

Anxiety tinged Diane’s voice. As English was not her native language, Diane stumbled over her words when she grew frantic.

To be asked to be a countess’ daughter-in-law was a great honor. Glee coursed through Yara, and every fiber of her being seemed to hum with unadulterated joy.

“Since you’ve asked, then I can’t possibly reject.”

“That’s great! You have no idea how glad I am to hear that.” A broad grin stretched across Diane’s face when she got the answer she wanted.
