Together Apart: Her White Moonlight Has Returned Too-Chapter 139: A Supplementary Proposal Gift for You
Vera Yves glanced at him, "Call me sis."
Mark Yves stayed silent for a few seconds, reluctantly calling her "sis."
"I’ve indeed got a boyfriend, you know him." Vera Yves didn’t intend to hide it from him, "Theodore Xavier."
"Sean?" Mark Yves was a bit surprised, casually said, "She must be crazy, what’s Theodore Xavier’s relationship with Winston Valentine, she..."
Vera Yves looked at him helplessly, "I don’t mind, why do you? Mark Yves, Dad is getting older day by day, you should focus and help Dad properly."
"Anyway, you’re going to marry Miles, what’s there to worry about?" Mark Yves said indifferently, "Miles is not like Winston Valentine, Miles has been good to you since childhood, once you get married, with The Monroe Family’s support, The Yves Family..."
"Mark Yves, even if I marry him, there’s no rule that The Monroe Family must support The Yves Family!"
"You’ve been divorced once, how can you still be so naive?" Mark Yves looked at her disdainfully, "Those people from The Monroe Family aren’t much better than The Valentine Family, if The Yves Family rises, it’ll be advantageous for you."
Vera Yves and Miles Monroe had already agreed to live outside after the wedding.
Yet she felt a vague sense of unease, Penelope Langley’s agreement with her marriage to Miles did not necessarily mean she truly accepted her.
But this time with Miles by her side, at least she didn’t have to face those things alone.
In less than a week, the news of The Monroe Family and The Yves Family forming a union was spreading in the circles.
Vera Yves received many congratulatory calls, and several people who had deleted her contacts due to her divorce tried to add her on WeChat.
Vera Yves ignored them.
Cleo Sutton heard about her marriage and smilingly said, "I’ve already designed your wedding dress."
Vera Yves was somewhat surprised at her speed.
But when she saw the design handed to her by Cleo Sutton, she was still taken aback.
"If you’re satisfied, I’ll have someone start making it; if we rush, it can be completed within a month." Cleo Sutton coughed once, "Of course, this is just a token of my goodwill, if you have other options, it’s okay."
"I am very satisfied." Vera Yves looked at her curiously, "Why did you want to give me a wedding dress?"
Cleo Sutton gazed at her, her eyes softened greatly, "Dr. Yves, I know you don’t quite like me, but the first time I saw you, I felt a connection with you."
"I don’t dislike you."
"No one likes a woman who’s a third party, right?" Cleo Sutton laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even I’m not very fond of myself."
"Then why..."
"Why still want to be with him?" Cleo Sutton held her hand, "The matter between him and me is complicated; in the end, I can only give him this time."
On the way back to the apartment, Vera Yves received a push notification on her phone – Wellspring Pharmacy was suspected of buying counterfeit medicines.
Vera Yves parked the car on the roadside and opened the news.
Wellspring Pharmacy was popular online, and the news quickly took over major headlines.
A large number of netizens flooded the live broadcast rooms, forcing the closure of all Wellspring Pharmacy’s live streams, and someone traced the relationship between Wellspring Pharmacy and Simon Warren.
Digging deeper, it led to Old Mr. Yves, and someone released those hidden interviews from the relatives of patients.
Once again bringing Wellspring Pharmacy to the forefront, directly putting Old Mr. Yves’s name on the hot search.
Many from the past who were treated by him stood up, and in just half a day, the previous chants turned into voices of regret.
Vera Yves called Miles Monroe, "Miles, did you do all that?"
Miles’s voice was gentle, "Vera, this is my supplemental engagement gift to you, do you like it?"
"Thank you, I really like it."
After the parents agreed, Miles organized a meeting at The Summit.
Both families were present, with Miles and Vera sitting together, Hannah Hayes looked at Miles Monroe, becoming more satisfied the more she looked, smilingly said, "I and Vera’s dad have picked out a few days..."
Penelope Langley showed no smile, "Jean and I have already consulted someone, picked three dates for engagement and marriage, you can choose whichever suits."
Hannah Hayes’s smile faded somewhat, "Harry and I have also looked at a few dates..."
"It’s the end of the year, Jean has many engagements, the dates you chose, he may not be available."
Hannah Hayes’s smile completely disappeared, what kind of words are these? Your son is getting married, and you’re unavailable?
Harry Yves gave her a look, and the two could only pick a date.
After the meal was finished, Hannah Hayes was full of anger; Miles returned to The Monroe Family with his parents, Mark drove and the Yves Family three dropped Vera back at her apartment.
Hannah Hayes complained all the way.
Once at the apartment, Vera escaped upstairs.
Exiting the elevator, Vera unlocked the door with the password, almost as soon as the door opened, someone covered her mouth; she struggled vigorously, biting hard on that person’s hand, but smelled the scent of disinfectant.
Vera paused momentarily, then was led into the room.
She wanted to turn on the lights, he pressed her hands down, his tall figure blocking her way, bringing a strong sense of oppression.
"When did you wake up?"
"Did you hope I’d never wake up?"
Vera shook her head, "I never thought that way, you saved me, of course I hope you’re fine."
"So that you can marry Miles Monroe with peace of mind?"
Vera wanted to push him away, Winston Valentine didn’t budge.
"Vera Yves, you’re so cruel, I lay in the hospital for so long and you never came to see me, and now you’re happily preparing to marry Miles Monroe!"
Suddenly Winston Valentine reached out, his long fingers pinched her neck.
Leaning against the door panel, his hand didn’t exert pressure, yet she couldn’t help but feel scared, "Winston Valentine, Miles had already proposed before going to the ski resort..."
Fingers tightened slightly.
"Don’t let me hear his name from your mouth!"
Vera grabbed his wrist, trying to remove his hand, "We are divorced, I have the right to start a new life."
Winston Valentine suddenly used force, Vera’s face flushed immediately, and in the next moment, her lips were kissed.
Vera’s eyes widened, she pushed him back forcefully, Winston stumbled back a few steps; Vera quickly turned on the light, picked up the vase beside her, and held it in front of her.
Looking over, she saw Winston’s head was still bandaged, and his face was terribly pale.
Holding the vase, he sneered coldly, "Want to send me off?"
Vera put the vase aside, wiped the corner of her lips, walked to his side, "I’ll call Walter Lowell to have him come pick you up."
"Who said I want to leave?"
"Winston Valentine!"
Miles Monroe video-called just at that moment, Vera hesitated but did not answer, Winston Valentine suddenly leaned close, "Not answering? Want me to help you?"
