Chapter 2725 Yannie paused and instinctively glanced at the closed door. “I‘m with Gwen-” “I need you, Yannie,”
Thomas interrupted before she could even finish her sentence. There was a hint of excitement in his tired voice as
he said, “Because...this could turn out to be one of the most memorable days in my life, so I want you to witness it
with me.”
Yannie bit her lip and fell silent upon hearing Thomas‘ earnest request, then finally agreed.” Alright, I‘ll come with
you.”
She agreed to go with him not because she was fine with leaving Gwen but because...
Gwen had Luna and Rachel with her, but she was the only person Thomas had. Even though he was a world–
famous celebrity with good looks, wealth, and good family background, Yannie knew better than anyone just how
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlonely he truly was.
Ever since his mother passed and his father remarried, Thomas had always felt abandoned and spent most of his
time alone.
She and Riley were the closest people he had to a family.
Thomas rarely told Yannie things like this, so after some careful contemplation, she decided to go with him.
“Alright, I‘ll go pick you up at noon.” Thomas curled his lips into a smile and hung up the phone cheerily.
Yannie tucked her phone away, returned to the room, and explained what had just happened in Luna‘s ear. “Luna,
I... I have to go with Thomas.”
Luna was an understanding person, so when she heard this, she naturally smiled and reached out to pat Yannie‘s
shoulder. “Go ahead; don‘t worry. With Rachel and I around, Gwen will be fine. You can go ahead and be there for
Thomas in his time of need.”
Yannie murmured a response and bade Luna farewell before leaving. After coming out of the hotel, she stopped by
the hospital to visit Riley.
Riley was sleeping soundly inside the specialized neonatal ward that Thomas had requested for her.
“Little Riley is getting stronger by the day,” the doctor said, smiling. “Judging by her progress, she‘ll be able to play
like a normal child in less than six months.”
Yannie continued watching Riley for a long time through the glass before eventually leaving.
Unbeknownst to her...
As soon as she left, the doctor removed her face mask and entered the stairwell. “Don‘t worry, Mrs. Howard.
Everything is going just as we planned.”

Yannie arrived at the lobby of Howard Group, dressed in a dainty–looking suit. Everyone that passed by her on their
way out of the building could not help sneaking glances at her.
She was stunning–even more so than Denise Hughes, the most beautiful woman in the city!
Yannie waited in the lobby for about half an hour before Howard eventually emerged, surrounded by assistants.
“We’ll resume this discussion in the afternoon. I have something important to attend to now.” Then, he glanced at
his personal assistant and ordered, “Send a car to pick up...”
Before he could even finish, however, he caught sight of Yannie, who was standing in the distance, grinning at him.
She was standing right in a patch of sunlight that illuminated her beautiful smile and gleaming eyes. Thomas‘ heart
leaped into his throat. He immediately strode towards her, leaving all the assistants behind him. “When did you
arrive?”
