Chapter 21 His Unexpected Solicitude
Then what is it?”
Tanya interrupted Lance and pointed at Yazmin, saying sharply, “Is she not a mistress, or is Yvette not your
wife?”
As soon as Tanya said this, Yazmin’s face turned ashen.
Yazmin had pretended to be weak before, but now she felt that she was short of breath and was close to
death.
She felt that she was going to be pissed off by Tanya in the next second.
She was one of the most famous ladies in New York, but now Tanya called her a home wrecker.
Yazmin knew that Tanya had recognized her, but Tanya pretended not to know her. It was hateful of her.
She had no choice, and she tried to move closer to Lance. She choked in a feeble voice, “Mrs. Wolseley, you
must have misunderstood. I didn’t…”
“Ms. Myers, it would be best if I’ve misunderstood. Please remember that putting distance between you and a
married man is the most basic social etiquette!”
As Tanya spoke, she glanced coldly at her hands that were laid on Lance’s arms. Yazmin was so scared that she immediately released the hold. If Lance hadn’t supported her in time, she would have fallen to the
ground.
Lance knitted his eyebrows. “Mom, Yazmin is out of health. Don’t be like this. You might scare her.”
Lance stood in front of Yazmin. At this moment, the man was like a wall, protecting her from any damage.
Yvette’s eyes reddened, but she held back her tears,
She thought that she would never feel distressed because of this man, but when she saw this scene, her
heart sank.
She had already decided to leave him and let him be with Yazmin.
Yvette didn’t want to watch him protecting another woman. Why was he so heartless?
The scene pierced her heart, and no one could understand her grievances. Now she only wanted to stay
alone.
Bang!
Tanya stretched out her hand and slammed it on the table. She looked at Lance fiercely.
“It has nothing to do with you even if she has an incurable illness. Have you ever cared about your wife since
you entered the house?
“Did you know that she was stabbed twice by a thief to help me get your grandfather’s medicine back that could save his life? The doctor gave her 8 stitches without an anesthetic!
“She doesn’t even know who I am, but she risked her life to help me. She is a good girl. You shouldn’t have

Tanya became increasingly angry, especially when she saw Yazmin clinging to Lance. She pointed at the
door and shouted, “Get out, all of you!”

Yvette’s eyes were misty again. She choked, “Thank you, Tanya.”
The door was pushed open, and Lance walked in.
Yvette was a little surprised as she didn’t expect that he would return.
Her heart, which had just been warmed by Tanya’s words, sank again.
Even if she was injured, Yazmin was more important in Lance’s heart.
She was never his preference.
When Tanya saw Lance, her face was still grave.
“Why did you come back? I thought you would go with Yazmin. After all, she has you in the palm of her hand!”
Lance was wearing an icy face. When he saw Yvette’s right hand that was wrapped in gauze bandages, he
looked serious.
Tanya didn’t stop scolding him. “Lance, listen to me. If grandpa knows that you’re carrying on with that
woman, he’ll deal with you!
“You are my son, but I will not speak up for you.
“Kaff…”
Tanya was suffering from asthma, and when she got angry, she couldn’t help coughing.
Yvette hurriedly consoled her, “Tanya, don’t be angry. Lance has been very kind to me.”
What she said was true. It was also true that he didn’t love her, and the woman he loved was Yazmin.
But Lance did treat her well.
They had been together for two years. Even if he raised a pet, he would treat it well.
“You shouldn’t speak up for him!” Though Tanya complained, her tone softened.
“Mom, grandpa asked about you. You should go home now. I’ll take Yvette home later.”
Lance said that he would take her home. Yvette felt happy about it, but she realized that she should not have
been excited about this.
He said this because Tanya was there.
“You’re not that heartless. I warn you that you are not allowed to go anywhere except the company these days. You must take good care of Yvette. I will supervise your doings!”
After Tanya finished speaking, she reminded Yvette about the food she shouldn’t have. Then Tanya left.
Only two people were left in the room now.
The atmosphere here was rather awkward.
Lance remained silent, and it made the atmosphere worse.
Yvette thought he was angry.
After all, he almost married the woman he loved.
She said first, “I’m sorry. How about we go to City Hall now? There’s still time.”
Lance said after a few seconds, “Do you think my mother will let it happen?”
Thinking of Tanya’s character, Yvette felt that Lance was right.
She knitted her eyebrows, and she was a little distressed. “After I get better, I’ll talk to Mrs. Wolseley about the divorce. Now, you have to put up with…”
Before she could finish speaking, he held her chin with one hand. She turned around.
Lance’s face was right in front of her. She could see the sadness in his eyes, and she didn’t know the reason.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
Yvette’s heart skipped a beat.
Was he showing solicitude for her?
