Chapter 367 

Yvette had never called Wilson that intimately before. So why did Xavier get to be addressed so fondly by her? 

“Don’t be jealous, we’re just friends. With a soothing kiss, Yvette drew Wilson closer, her pale arms entwined around his neck. “Let’s go back and keep Grandma company.” 

In the living room, Martha warmly welcomed Yara and Irwin. “Please, have a seat, both of you!” 

She instructed the butler to brew the best tea. 

Yara hastily spoke up, “Mrs. Quinn Senior, there’s no need. We came today to discuss something with you. We’ll leave as soon as we’re done.” 

“That’s right, Mrs. Quinn Senior. Please don’t trouble yourself!” Irwin chimed in. 

Hearing this, Martha waved her hand dismissively and said with a hearty laugh. “We’re all family here, so please speak your mind.” 

Martha’s feelings for Yvette rubbed off on the rest of the Murray family. 

Irwin and Yara exchanged a glance, then began. “Yara and I have given this a great deal of consideration, Mrs. Quinn Senior. We feel that the engagement between our families was rushed. We’ve come to talk to you about ending the- 

Before Yara and Irwin could finish, Martha immediately began to wail. 

“Oh my! Oh no! The doctor said I can’t handle any shock, or I’ll fall ill again. I’m already feeling a sharp pain in my chest!” 

Martha clutched her chest, moaning in pain. Then, she looked at them, shaking her head. “Oh, right! What were you saying you were going to do?” 

Irwin and Yara were rendered speechless. Now that Martha had said this, how could they discuss breaking off the engagement? 

Yara and Irwin were at a loss. But thinking of the rumors they’d heard and the evidence they’d gathered, they persisted. 

“Mrs. Quinn Senior, please don’t get upset. We’ve thought about this for a long time and believe the marriage is not suitable. The age difference between Yvie and Wilson is too great, so we want to discuss canceling the engagement with 

Your 

Hearing their determination, Martha realized they were serious and became immediately anxious. 

That wouldn’t do. She was set on Yvette becoming her granddaughter–in–law. This marriage couldn’t be called off, no matter what! 

“Oh my goodness, Marie! You and I arranged this marriage back then. Now your son and daughter–in–law want to break it off! What are we going to do?” 

Yara and Irwin, helpless against Martha’s emotional outburst, could only try to reason with her. 

“Mrs. Quinn Senior, this match really isn’t suitable. The age gap between them is too big…” 

“I don’t care! Since you think Will is too old, then you can arrange for Jacob to be engaged instead. After all, the original plan was for Jacob and Will to be engaged!” 

It was only called off later when Jacob was born a boy. 

Martha resorted to being unreasonable, knowing Jacob could never be engaged to Wilson. As long as she made a fuss like this, she could prevent them from canceling the engagement. 

Wilson, listening from the door, was fuming. His handsome face darkened, and he pressed his fingers to his temples. 

What nonsense was Martha spouting? Wilson couldn’t stand the sight of Jacob’s face. If it weren’t for Jacob, he wouldn’t be so worried about his relationship with Yvette! 

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Yvette’s lips. 

Yara and Irwin were at their wits‘ end from Martha’s constant badgering. When Yvette appeared, it was as if a weight had been lifted from their shoulders. 

“Yvie, you’re here! Now’s your chance. Go talk to Mrs. Quinn Senior right now and tell her you want to call off this engagement!”
