Chapter 459 The Playful Old Man

Thomas was equally surprised to see Yandel at a stone-gambling market.

“Yandel…” Thomas said, his gaze trailing off toward Natalie. “Aren’t you together with Melissa? What are you doing with your… secretary?”

Yandel eyed Yeva and smiled.

“Come on, Mr. Nichols. You’re a married man yourself, but I see you’re still having fun outside. We work hard every day, so we should also play hard.”

Thomas originally wanted to barrage Yandel with criticisms because he was cheating on his daughter, but now that Yandel called him out, there was no way Thomas could do that. It would be too hypocritical for him to denounce what Yandel did, so the old man just smiled.

“Melissa is good, but she’s got a temper. My secretary is way better,” Yandel remarked, pinching Natalie’s face.

Yandel did this because he wanted to play along with Natalie, but his fingers were actually shaking when he did that.

Even he could not tell why.

Natalie took his cue and lowered her head in embarrassment.

When Yeva saw this, she felt she was challenged.

She crossed her hands around Thomas and asked him, “Do you think I’m better than your old wife?”

“What are you talking about? Watch what you’re saying,” Thomas said seriously, but his words amounted to no threat.

“What do you mean? I don’t care what you do when you’re with her, but you’re with me right now. You have to at least make me happy when we’re together,” Yeva replied. “Besides, you know I’m behaving like this because you pamper me too much.”

Thomas knew full well that Yeva was someone full of drama.

Sometimes he wondered why he even fell for Yeva. Perhaps it was because men tend to want a breath of fresh air once they hit a certain age. They got bored of women who take care of the family and started looking for women whom they had to take care of and pamper instead.

Thomas softened his tone. “You’re prettier and more attractive than Yvonne. I really hope you’re the one I married instead of her.”

These words disgusted Yandel.

Meanwhile, Natalie’s fists were already clenched so tightly that her palms started becoming pale.

Is he for real? Not only did he not act like a father, but he also behaves so ingratiatingly with this woman.

Despite Natalie’s loathing for the two of them, the emotions in her eyes quickly faded and she wore a smile.

“Mr. Moss,” she said to Yandel, “Look at that! Isn’t it exciting? I want to take a bet too. Do you think you can chip in some money for me?”

Yandel looked at her in the eyes and knew what she was thinking.

“How much would you like to bet, honey? I can buy as many jade stones as you want. I’ll even buy everything they have if that makes you happy!”

“You don’t have to, Mr. Moss,” Natalie replied coyly, darting her gaze at Yeva.

Their eyes met briefly, but the amount of pride and sense of superiority on both sides were telling.

Yeva was provoked. She could not stand it anymore.

She felt an urge to win this passive fight, so she tugged Thomas and said, “I want to do it too! They only cost a few thousand a pound. I really want to give it a try. I’ve suffered enough because of your wife. I should at least get some compensation.”

Over and over again, Yeva brought up the fact that she had always had to stay hidden from the public eye because of her status as Thomas’ mistress. To her, this was a glitch in their relationship that she could not seem to overcome.

She could not understand why Natalie could enjoy better treatment when both of them were mistresses of other men. Yeva felt she was entitled to the same treatment too.

As for Thomas, he was a calculative man himself. He knew how low the odds were of having these stones turning out to be real jade, so he was contemplating if he should just buy Yeva a limited edition handbag instead.

“What about a designer handbag?” he asked.

Natalie saw through Thomas right away. “Mr. Nichols, you’re Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s owner. Why don’t you just play big this time since you’re already here? You can’t just buy her a bag. You should at least show some sincerity.”
