Before April could finish, Vincent''s phone rang again. This time, it was a call from home.


    Vincent released his arm from her shoulder and stepped out of the room.


    On the other end of the line, Mrs. Walker said something, and Vincent left in a hurry.


    Furious, April smashed many of the things in her hospital room.


    ...


    Weekend.


    Yvonne had no workmitments, and Bet had a rare day off.


    "Not going to the base today?" Yvonne, who had just woken up, draped herselfzily over him in her pajamas.


    "Nope, day off." Bet casually scooped her up, carried her to the vanity, opened a jewelry box, and took out a pink diamond ne, cing it around her neck.


    Yvonne felt the cool metal on her neck and instinctively looked down.


    "Is this... a pink diamond?"


    "Mhm," Bet nodded.


    "Whoa, my neck suddenly feels like it''s holding up a castle," Yvonne said, looking at her reflection.


    The ne she was wearing had an intricate design, with a ten-carat pink


    diamond as the main stone, surrounded by many smaller diamonds arranged to look like flowers and vines.


    The ne alone was worth over a hundred million, and the jewelry box also contained matching earrings and a ring.


    "Did you strike it rich? Buying such expensive jewelry."


    "I didn''t buy it. It was a wedding anniversary gift from Dad to Mom," Bet said.


    "Then it''s not right for me to wear it," Yvonne said, instinctively reaching to take it off.


    But Bet caught her hand, smiling. "Mom told me to give it to you. You can wear it to the family dinner today and meet them."


    “A family dinner? I don''t think it''s appropriate for me to go,” Yvonne said, looking ufortable.


    "You''ll have to go sooner orter.


    Besides, everyone is very


    easygoing,


    and you''ve already met the others," Bet said, his hand resting on her shoulder his palm warm.


    "But I''m not Yvonne anymore," Yvonne said, her head slightly bowed. Bet shook his head. "No matter who you are, you''re the woman I love most.” After saying this, he took the earrings from the box, intending to put them on for her.


    However, Yvonne''s piercings were small, and Bet wasn''t skilled at it, struggling for a while without sess.


    He gave up, handing the earrings to her in frustration. "So tight- I can''t even get in."


    Yvonne took the earrings, and only after putting them on did she realize what he meant.


    Her cheeks flushed slightly as she gave his chest a shy but annoyed tap.


    Betughed, catching her hand and affectionately ruffling her hair


    "Go


    nave breakfast, and then take


    you to pick out a dress


    Helen had already prepared avish breakfast: a rich and savory soup, a few cold


    side dishes, along with sausages—a trulyvish spread.


    After Bet and Yvonne finished breakfast, they left together.


    Bet drove her to a high-end boutique.


    Since it was a family dinner, Yvonne chose a modest pink dress thatplemented the ne.


    natural artist gave her a light,


    natural look, and her long hair was styled mice simple half bun, giving her a gentle and sweet appearance


    "You look beautiful," Bet said with a smile, taking her hand. He lowered his gaze


    to meet hers, his eyes filled with tenderness.


    The Thompson family dinner was held at the patriarch''s residence in the militarypound.


    Bet''s car drove through without any stops, finally pulling up in front of a small white house.
