Chapter 143 This was Yvonnes first visit to Freeman Manor .
She had thoughtfully prepared gifts for both Ophelia and Beatrice , and it was clear from their reactions that they really welcomed her .
For the first time in months , there was finally a stir of liveliness in the once quiet manor .
Hendrix was actually quite surprised by Beatrices reactions .
After all , he had always assumed she adored Noelle , that her loyalty to Geralds wish was unshakeable .
It was only at that moment that Hendrix realized something he hadnt before Beatrice simply didnt like Sandra .
It was just as she had once said to him , You can be with anone but Sandra .
The same smile Beatrice had once offered to Noelle now found its way to Yvonne During dinner , Ophelia suddenly brought up the previous nights auction .
I heard there was quite a commotion at the auction last night .
Hendrixs hand paused mid motion .
Yvonne glanced at him first before replying with a smile , Yes , Mrs.
Freeman Senior .
How did you know ? How could I not know when it had spread like wildfire within my social circles ? Ophelia frowned .
That Noelle … I used to think she was a sensible young lady , only for her to turn out- Mom , interjected Beatrice .
Ophelia turned to look at her .
She has nothing to do with this family anymore , so lets not bring her up again , continued Beatrice , her voice calm but tinged with displeasure .
Ophelia clicked her tongue in annoyance .
I know she has nothing to do with this family anymore , least complain a little to Yvonne ? but cant lat Yvonne , did you know that we Freemans are actually the victims here ? The Swansons kept Noelles past hidden so well that we had no idea about it at all .
Because if we did , we would have never let her marry into this family ! Yvonne smiled nonchalantly .
Its okay , Mrs.
Freeman Senior .
Thats all in the past now , and … I actually think Noelle is kind of pitiful .
Her , pitiful ? Ha ! Hendrix is the pitiful one here .
She kept him in the dark for so long .
If it wasnt Grandma , cut in Hendrix softly , effectively stopping Ophelia from going on .
Lets not bring up anyone who doesnt have anything to do with this family .
After that , he turned to Yvonne .
I need to make a call .
Please continue on without me .
Without waiting for a reply , he got up and left the table .
Yvorines smile might have made it seem like she was fine with his abrupt departure , but her slight frown betrayed her true feelings .
Beatrice , however , wasnt surprised .
She even took to comforting Yvonne .
Thats Hendrix for you .
Youll get used to it .
By the way , any idea when your parents might be free ? Its about time you and Hendrix get engaged , and you can move in with him after that .
Itll be wonderful if we can celebrate news of your pregnancy during the wedding as well .
+25 BONUS Chapter 143 Beatrice didnt beat around the bush at all .
However , as much as Yvonne wanted to marry Hendrix , she felt unsettled by Beatrices words .
Isnt it a little too early to talk about children ? she asked with a forced smile .
Not at all , replied Beatrice with a slight smile .
You should make them while youre still young .
