Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 17

Yvon's signature smile appeared, but then he immediately frowned. "I just came back and heard from the servants that you are going to move out? Is that true?"

Joye replied affirmatively. Time would pass quickly if she didn't see Shawn. A month later, she would be a free bird after the divorce procedures were completed.

"Since you have decided to move out, I support you. I happened to drive here. Pack up, I will send you to your new place."

Yvon's smile was gentle. He behaved like a gentleman. If it wasn't for his uniform reminding her of his identity, it was hard to imagine that the warm man in front of her was a heroic big shot.

Joye wanted to refuse, but she looked into his sincere eyes and agreed instead. "Sorry for troubling you."

After packing up her luggage, Yvon helped to carry it to the car. Baird did not want her to leave, but he patted her hand with a smile and told her, "Be careful when you’re living alone out there. Also, remember to visit Grandpa sometimes."

Joye nodded hard, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up a little. Even if there was one day when she had nothing to do with Shawn anymore, she would always cherish Baird's kindness and try her best to be filial to him.

The luggage was put into the trunk, and the car started. Her eyes unconsciously swept through the crowd, but she did not see that familiar figure.

"Let’s go."

She quickly withdrew her gaze and nodded in agreement.

The car started slowly and soon they reached the highway. Then, Yvon said, "When I came back, I saw Shawn driving away. It seems that he has something urgent to deal with."

"Really? He has nothing to do with me."

Joye's hand froze and she turned to look out of the window with a smile. She knew him well. He would not stay and see her off.

"Let’s listen to some music. There are a lot of new catchy songs lately."

As he spoke, he pressed play on the radio, but his hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened. It was true that he met Shawn just now, but Shawn didn't rush out.

They were listening to a happy song, but Joye didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, she felt more and more depressed as if her heart was locked inside a cage. It looked like she had broken free, but she felt empty.

After 20 minutes, the car finally stopped downstairs of her rented apartment. She unfastened her seat belt, got out of the car, and went to the trunk to get her luggage, but was still one step behind Yvon.

"It's pretty heavy. Let me help you."

"All right then."

Taking the elevator upstairs, Joye thought that he would leave after putting down her suitcase. She didn't expect Yvon to stay and help clean up the house all afternoon.

The messy house soon became neat and tidy, even the dusty floor was mopped clean.

"Is cleaning part of your training?"

Looking at the clean apartment, Joye felt much more relaxed and couldn't help joking with the sweaty Yvon.

"Every minute and second of a soldier are a drill."

Yvon raised his head and took the towel she handed him to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looked around with satisfaction and smiled. "I passed."

"You've helped me so much. To express my gratitude, let me treat you to dinner."

Joye never liked to owe others favors, let alone the Richard family.

Seeing that she insisted, Yvon didn't refuse. They locked the door and took the elevator downstairs.

"I’m not familiar with the restaurants nearby. Let’s just pick one."

After reaching a restaurant with the most cars parked in front, the two of them walked in, side by side. Joye sat down near the window. The waiter handed them the menu and asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to eat?"

"Shawn, we haven't been here for a long time. For the past three years, I've been thinking about the food in this restaurant every day."

An elegant and pleasant voice came from the door. Joye was about to order when she raised her head and looked towards the door in reflex. She saw Shawn walking in with a woman holding his arm.

The beige suit she wore was sweet and elegant. It wrapped around her exquisite figure and revealed her long legs. Her long silky hair gave a casual and sexy vibe. She had an indescribable charm.

With those perfect facial features, a faint smile on her lips could charm every human being on the planet.

The woman’s outstanding appearance and temperament startled Joye. This was Vivian!
