Chapter 283 Yvonne Adores Conrad
After a few long pauses, Zac finally acquiesced. “Fine. I will let her go this time because you asked me
to. However, there will not be a next time. You can’t interfere again, Conrad.”
“Of course.”
Lifting his wrist to look at the time, Conrad then said, “It’s not even eight yet. Let me treat you to some
sushi as thanks.”
“Sure,” Chris swiftly agreed.
“We’ll leave you two to catch up, Uncle Conrad.” Veronica picked up her bags and dragged the untied
Yvonne away. Before anyone could say a word, the two women were already dashing away.
They both ran for a long time before they stopped as if they were afraid Zac would change his mind.
“Huff. Huff.”
Yvonne panted loudly, exhausted by the sprint.
Meanwhile, Veronica glared at her and smacked her on the head. “Girl, is your lust stronger than our
friendship? You would rather push me out to die than to let the two of them argue?!”
Love is so stupid.
Veronica did not know what else she could say about the situation.
“Ouch! That hurt.” Yvonne pouted as her hands moved to cover the spot where she was hit. “Don’t be
angry. I know Zac well. He would never lay a hand on a woman, but he would also never hold back
against a guy. I like Conrad, so I tried to protect him.”
Veronica felt so disgusted that she did not know how to explain the anger in her.
“Fine. I won’t be saving you again.” She huffed and walked away.
“Don’t worry. I will not be asking you for help anyway. Everyone has their limits. Although Zac would not
lay a hand on a woman, I’m afraid he would start playing tricks on you.”
Yvonne walked with Veronica by her side. Subsequently, the former pulled her jacket tighter around
herself and continued, “Would you have ignored me if I had not saved you last time?”

Veronica pulled her bag higher. “I am not a saint. How can I risk death to save you when I am already in
a tough position? It’s impossible.”
“Oh, I just love how straightforward you are,” Yvonne replied with a laugh. “Let us get sushi as well. Wait,
no. Why don’t we get some BBQ skewers? It’ll be my treat.”
Yvonne wrapped an arm around Veronica’s shoulders as they walked out of the airport. They then took a
taxi back to the city.
Inside the taxi, Yvonne was deep in thought as she fidgeted with her shirt.
“What are you thinking about?” Veronica casually asked.
Yvonne bit her lip and blushed. “Roni, do you think Conrad likes me too? Why else would he wade into
danger to save me?”
“Oh, for goodness…”
“I know you’re the one who called him, but he actually wanted to save me even though he knew my
kidnapper was Zac. This situation is totally different.”
As she spoke, there was a happy yet shy smile on her face while her fingers linked tightly together.
“So, do you plan on giving yourself to him as thanks?” Veronica asked with a raised eyebrow and a
smirk.
“If he is willing, I have no problem with that,” Yvonne replied with a smile.
“You haven’t known him for long, yet you want to marry him. Don’t you think you are rushing it? Oh,
perhaps you are more loyal to your lust for pretty men and that is all you care about.”
Still, Veronica had to admit that Conrad was very handsome. He exuded a unique, mature aura that
made him unforgettable.
Even so, she was surprised to see Yvonne fall to Conrad despite having only known him for a short
amount of time.
Wow. If Zac found out Yvonne fancied Conrad, their friendship would be destroyed.
Yvonne looked away and leaned back against her seat.
Just as Veronica thought she was never going to answer the question, Yvonne blurted, “I don’t care if I’m
rushing it. I like him.”
What a blunt way of admitting her affections for Conrad. That meant she was truly mesmerized by him.
“You…”
Veronica really wanted to tell her to move on.
Conrad was not a man to be underestimated. Despite having only spent a few years overseas, he was
now close friends with Prince Zac.
He was dangerous.
However, she could not bring herself to say anything when she saw how deeply in love Yvonne was.
The two of them grabbed some food before heading back to their respective homes.
Although Yvonne was still worried about Conrad, she waited until it was past 11 o’clock before
messaging him, ‘Are you asleep?’
Since Conrad had gone for sushi with Chris, she was worried that messaging him too early would risk
letting Zac know about them.
After she sent the message, Yvonne lay on her bed and stared up at her ceiling. Her mind kept replaying
what happened earlier that evening, and a smile slowly spread across her lips.
Ding!
A reply was received
She quickly grabbed her phone. ‘No. Today must have been quite terrifying for you.’
She did not think he would reply that soon.
Her heart skipped as she looked down at the message filled with concern and love. ‘Thank you for your
help, and Roni’s. If you had not come to my rescue, I would already be in Castron.’
‘Don’t mention it.’
‘How could I not? You saved my life. Why don’t I treat you to a meal as thanks when you are free?’
‘I would be honored.’
‘Then, it’s settled.’

The last response to her messages was an ‘okay’ and the conversation ended there.
She rolled around in her bed, unable to sleep. All she saw when she closed her eyes was Conrad’s
handsome face which made her heart pound.
With her phone clasped tightly in her hand, she eventually typed out a message, ‘Do you have a
girlfriend?’
However, on second thought, she erased it.
A few seconds later, she drafted up another message, ‘Have you ever thought of being in a relationship?’
“No, that’s too forthright,” she mumbled to herself before erasing it as well.
The final message she sent read, ‘Do you have someone you like?’
There was no reply to her message.
She could not help but let her imagination roam free as she felt anxious about the message. After a lot of
tossing and turning, she finally fell asleep late into the night.
…
Back in her apartment, Veronica was huddled in her bed with her laptop after her shower.
She was currently chatting with the staff of Vincere Games about work when Matthew messaged her.
‘The Kings’ family dinner is happening the day after tomorrow. Remember to attend.’
The Kings’ family dinner?
‘Okay.’ Veronica replied without thinking too much about the event.
She had always been someone of little words as if saying a word more was a waste of her time.
On the other end of the conversation, Matthew was standing before a large window in the President’s
Office in Spinfluence Group. The ability to look over the city made one feel powerful, but everything he
did when it came to Veronica seemed useless.
No matter what he did, she did not care for his attempts.
Staring down at Veronica’s one-word reply, he hesitated as his hands clenched around his phone. He did
not know what to say, so he stopped sending her further messages.
He then went back to work. After a long evening of working, he was finally done.
However, as he drove home, he could not resist driving over to Veronica’s place.
Matthew stepped out into the cold, leaned against his car, and silently took out a cigarette to smoke as
he got lost in his thoughts.
