Chapter 179 Sending New Year Greetings
Yvonne had an obsession with Shawn. She watched him walking in front of Nancy whom she hated. Then he rubbed Nancy's hair intimately and laughed.
When Shawn just entered the house, he looked indifferent and alienating. But he wore a faint smile in front of Nancy, which made him more charming.
Yvonne grabbed her clothes tightly and wished she could be Nancy. If so, Shawn would also smile tenderly at her.
Shawn finally looked away from Nancy. When his eyes fell on Yvonne, Yvonne felt her heart pounding nervously. But it was a pity that Shawn only glanced at Yvonne.
Besides, his glance was cold and different from that at Nancy.
Yvonne clamped her lips together indignantly.
"Nancy, do you miss me?"
Ivan swept Nancy up into his arms and nuzzled Nancy. They were like two cats licking each other's fur, which looked lovely.
Nancy beamed with pleasure and her cute dimples showed. She kept her arms around Ivan's neck and rubbed her head against his chest affectionately.
"Of course. I miss you and Shawn so much."
Her voice was soft and sweet, which could melt people's hearts.
Ivan was satisfied with Nancy's reply. Then he stuffed Nancy into Shawn's arms.
"Shawn, you should hug Nancy, too."
After letting go of Nancy, Ivan swung his arm stealthily. Nancy gained more and more weight and wore several layers of clothes, so she was much heavier than usual.
But Nancy also became more pretty and her smile was more appealing. When Ivan saw her smile, he would also grin with delight.
Nancy also threw her arms around Shawn's neck and rubbed her face against his. Then Shawn smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks.
"You are plumper."
Nancy was surprised.
Like most of the girls, Nancy always cared about her weight.
Nancy wouldn't admit that she got fatter and retorted.
"Not at all. I just wear too many clothes."
"I didn't gain weight," Nancy thought angrily.
Shawn's eyes flashed with joy. He weighed Nancy in his hand purposedly.
"Really?"
Nancy took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "Yes. You can touch my belly. It's flat."
Shawn gently poked her stomach with his slender fingers.
Nancy felt itchy and couldn't hold her breath anymore!
She decided to disengage herself from Shawn's arms. She turned to Marcus and spread her arms to ask for a hug.
When she was carried into Marcus' arms, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She wore a smug expression.
"I have a flat stomach. It's true."
Someone burst into laughter.
Nancy looked toward where the sound came from. Her eyes fell on Martin.
"You always laugh at me," Nancy thought.
She glared at Martin.
A glimmer of a smile flashed in Martin's eyes. The red hoodie made him more attractive.
Martin coughed and explained, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't laugh at you."
Nancy rested her chin on Marcus' shoulders and snorted in disbelief.
She whined and pursed her lips.
Nancy and her elder brothers were laughing and talking merrily. But Yvonne and her family were embarrassed, which showed a sharp contrast.
Yvonne wanted to come over several times to say hello, but she had no excuse. She was restless.
Her eyes lit up when she saw a servant coming out of the kitchen with juice. She walked up to the servant and took the juice.
"Let me help you."
Before the servant could react, Yvonne left with the juice.
The servant was speechless.
"What? Did she have nothing to do and want to steal my job?" thought the servant with fury.
The servant glanced at the butler and the butler nodded at her with a smile. Then she shrugged and left.
She didn't understand Yvonne's thoughts. Yvonne ought to find another excuse even if she wanted to approach Nancy and her elder brothers. Yvonne's behavior would only degrade herself.
Yvonne didn't think so much. She walked up to Nancy and her elder brothers, holding the juice. She smiled gently under their icy gaze. She also sneaked a look at Shawn and found he looked more handsome at close range.
"Marcus, it's my fault last time. I'm here to apologize to Nancy."
Yvonne made a gesture of goodwill. She thought it was all because of Nancy that they ignored her. So she apologized to Nancy.
"Only by getting along well with Nancy could I approach Shawn," Yvonne thought. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'm sorry, Nancy. I was going to apologize to you on your birthday. I didn't mean to harm you. When Louis came over, I wanted to take your hand and go back together. But..."
Yvonne's eyes were red and watery. She pretended to feel wronged and glanced at Louis.
Louis, who had a bad temper, immediately lost his patience.
"Aren't you tired? You can just say everything directly. It's annoying that you speak obliquely! Did you think I misunderstood you last time? Did you forget your true features?"
Louis thought Yvonne regarded them as idiots.
Yvonne defended herself, "I mean no blame."
She got used to making pointed innuendoes. She wouldn't speak clearly and would leave room for guesses. So many people around her suffered losses.
But her trick failed to work out now. After all, she was the only outsider among Nancy and her elder brothers.
Martin crossed his arms over his chest and sneered, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"If not, leave here right now."
Martin tried to drive Yvonne away. But Yvonne stared at Shawn and looked pathetic.
All the people here were speechless.
They wondered what Yvonne meant.
Shawn glanced at her indifferently. As a doctor, he had seen many people with mental illnesses. He thought Yvonne was the case.
Ivan got mad, "Why are you staring at my elder brother?"
He glared at Yvonne and looked fierce.
Yvonne suddenly burst into tears, "I am not. Sorry, I didn't mean it."
All the people here felt confused.
They were certain that Yvonne was strange.
Martin mocked, "You must have read too many novels. You are such an angelic bitch."
Yvonne cried suddenly as if she was bullied.
Louis thought Yvonne was scheming against them. He mumbled, "Will she find fault with us and say we hit her?"
Nancy frowned, "Stop crying. If you keep crying, I will cry too. Then I will tell my father that you bully me."
Nancy didn't want her elder brothers to be blackmailed!
Yvonne was shocked.
Shawn had no sympathy for Yvonne and didn't even glance at her. Yvonne felt aggrieved for real.
She wondered why they had no tender heart for beautiful women like her.
She was very confident in her appearance. Many men pursued her, especially in school. But now she felt a little frustrated.
She had no choice but to leave. But she was still racking her brains to figure out how to approach Shawn.
Yvonne thought Nancy was so despicable. She feared that Nancy would speak ill of her in front of Shawn and Shawn would get a bad impression of her.
Louis watched Yvonne leaving and said, "Isn't Yvonne strange? Did she vie to serve us juice just to cry in front of us?"
Martin saw through Yvonne's intention. He looked at Shawn with a teasing smile, "Probably, Yvonne wants to get close to someone here."
After a while, many eyes were fixed on Shawn.
The affection in Yvonne's eyes was too obvious just now. So even the slow-witted Louis understood what Martin hinted.
Nancy and Adam remained puzzled. But they also followed their elder brothers to stare at Shawn.
Shawn was looking through a medical book. He raised his eyes to glance at them calmly.
"What's the matter?"
Louis clicked his tongue with a smug face, "Oh, I got it."
Louis still remembered Shawn slandered him last time. Now he could take his revenge.
