As his hand slipped from hers, Yvonne felt a flutter of unease. How could he touch her so easily, only to withdraw
without a second thought? The dissonance left her feeling unsettled, but she quickly masked it with a practiced
smile. “I'll make stea for you,” Yvonne offered, gesturing for the housekeeper to assist her. After all,
Edmond was accustomed to the housekeeper’s tea, and Yvonne, unfamiliar with the process, didn’t want to risk
ruining it.
There was something about Norton's casual demeanor that irked Yvonne. Why did he feel entitled to touch her
whenever it suited him?
With frustration simmering beneath her calm exterior, she poured tea leaves into Norton's cup with a little more
intensity than necessary.
After preparing the tea, Yvonne and the housekeeper brought it over, her smile wide and sweet as she presented
the cups. “Edmond, have stea. And you too, Norton,” Yvonne said with forced sweetness, her tone overly

sly glint in her eyes as she passed him the tea, her lips curving into a smile that hinted at mischief.

his brows furrowed. The bitterness was overpowering. He set the cup down, his expression betraying his
discomfort. “Yvonne, your tea-making skills have truly wasted these leaves,” Norton remarked with a pointed

Yvonne's face fell at his words, but the sparkle in her eyes and the smile she couldn't quite suppress betrayed
her true emotions. “Is it not good?” she asked, her voice laced with mock concern.
Seeing her reaction, Norton couldn't help but look at her with mild amusement. In that moment, she was far too
pleased with herself to notice anything else.
He gently rubbed a chess piece between his fingers before pulling her onto the sofa. “Sit properly. Watch me
play chess with Grandpa,” he commanded with playful authority.
Caught off guard by his sudden movement, Yvonne shot him an annoyed glare as she was pulled onto the sofa.
But Norton, without missing a beat, leaned in closer, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, his voice
dropping to a whisper. “Be good.”
Yvonne's face flushed immediately. The closeness of his touch caught her off guard, sending a flutter through her
chest. She quickly reminded herself that his proximity was due to Edmond’s presence and tried not to read too
much into it.

Edmond, observing the scene, chuckled softly.
After a pleasant dinner with Edmond, the two of them left the house. Norton's performance had clearly been
satisfactory, as they departed without any of Edmond’s usual attendants trailing behind them.
