Chapter 851 Spark and Shadows
“Yes, it’s not a significant matter,”
Damien remarked, a faint smile gracing his lips. “It’s just that this mode of expression is rather off-putting.”
With those words, Damien nonchalantly retrieved his phone and dialed a number. “Which hospital?”
At that very moment, Cherise and Heather entered the emergency room. The medical staff in the hectic environment were engrossed in assisting her in lying down, causing her to disconnect the call before she could respond inadvertently.
Cherise found herself engrossed in assisting the doctor with examining Heathe
leaving her with little opportunity to return the call.
wounds,
After making three unanswered calls, Damien furrowed his brow and directly dialed Mr. Hampson’s number. “Find out which hospital Mrs. Lenoir is in.”
“Alright.”
“Mrs. Lenoir is making a scene,”
Yolanda remarked, crossing her arms and casting a faint smile in Damien’s direction. “Does she always play games like this with you?”
“Not always,”
Damien replied, turning his head to offer Yolanda a light smile. “Ms. Weiss has never been in a relationship, so you may not understand this type of playful banter between husband and wife.”
The man’s eyes towards Yolanda were filled with mockery. “Sometimes playing games is also a spice in a marriage.”
“Ms. Weiss doesn’t understand; it’s not your fault.”
With that, Damien elegantly turned around. “Since my wife is not here, I’ll take my leave.”
Observing the man’s tall figure, Yolanda clenched her fingers and quickly caught up with him. “Mr. Lenoir, you said you would introduce me to your wife, but she stood you up, and you’re leaving me behind?”
Damien paused, turning his head slightly to look at Yolanda. “I didn’t handle it properly, Ms. Weiss. It was my mistake.”
The next moment, he took out his phone and called Mr. Hampson. “Send a car to the research institute and take Ms. Weiss to her destination.”
Yolanda was left speechless.
She pressed her lips together. “Damien, you’re aware that wasn’t my intention!”
He responded with a smile. “Then, what did Ms. Weiss mean?”
“I refrain from speculating about the thoughts of any woman other than my wife. Please let Ms. Weiss be direct if she wishes to convey something. No need for ambiguity.”
Yolanda’s complexion paled, her teeth clenched tightly. Jealousy gripped her like an unrelenting flame!
Since encountering Damien, he had consistently underscored the presence of his “wife,” addressing her as “my wife.” He dismissed Yolanda’s feelings entirely.
Despite Damien instigating their meeting, it portrayed her as pursuing a married man.
She developed feelings for this somewhat aloof and arrogant man to compound matters!
With a composed inhalation, Yolanda met Damien’s gaze. “I believe you should bring me to the hospital to visit your wife.”
“There are matters that still need clarification between me and your wife. I’m certain she is eager to see me.”
Furrowing his brow slightly, Damien contemplated the situation.
In Cherise’s prior phone call, she requested him to bring this female client to meet her.
A smile played on his lips as he conceded, “Very well.”
“Then, if you please, Miss Weiss.”
Yolanda pursed her lips, a subtle satisfaction crossing her countenance.
Can even the most reserved man refuse my request?
Damien, this man, I would inevitably have under
my sway!
Yolanda approached with joy evident, poised to link arms with Damien. However, the man gracefully sidestepped, remarking, “I’m not at ease with intimacy with any woman other than my wife. Kindly understand, Miss Weiss.”
Yolanda fell into silence,
His wife, always his wife!
