Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"Nance..." Jacob gently called out her name, hoping to soften her heart.

However, Nancy cut him off, her tone firm. "I'm going to rest now. You can go back to your room"

With that, she shrugged off her bathrobe and lay flown on the bed, wearing only a thin camisole that hugged her curves, leaving little to the imagination.

Jacob's gaze darkened, but he quickly forced down the thoughts that were bubbling up inside

him

He had to keep control. Nancy was still young, so he couldn't let himself act like a beast.

The next day, Yvette woke up learning it was already nearing noon. As she opened her eyes, she saw the striking, almost otherworldly face of the man lying beside her. "Baby, are you awake?" Wilson's lazy, seductive voice drifted into her ears, sending a shiver down her spine.

"What time is it?" Yvette was still half-asleep. Her eyes were half-closed in that irresistible,

dazed manner that made her all the more captivating.

"10:00 am," Wilson said gently. He then lifted her from the bed and carried her to the

bathroom.

If it wasn't for Yvette insisting on handling things herself, he would have offered to wash her

"I'm going downstairs to make you breakfast," he said.

"Okay," Yvette mumbled.

How could she be so cute? Wilson's gentle gaze lingered on her, his lips pressing a soft kiss to her cheek before he turned and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

When Yvette made her way downstairs after freshening up, breakfast was already waiting.

"I didn't think my grandson could cook!" Martha exclaimed, surprised as if she'd discovered a

new world.

Then, with a playful grin, she added, "Why haven't you ever made breakfast for me, though? Then again, you're much older than Yvie. If you don't start trying harder to win her heart, she might just run off with some younger man, and then you'll have something to cry about!" Wilson's face darkened slightly. "Grandma, can we stop talking about my ago?"

Martha chuckled. "I'm just stating the truth, aren't I? If you weren't my grandson, I wouldn't have allowed you two to be together. No wonder Jacob and the others call you an old wolf with a young lamb. You're truly shameless."

Wilson was speechless. How could his grandma speak of him this way?

Meanwhile, Jasper was barely holding back his laughter. He was pinching his thigh so hard it was almost blue, trying to keep a straight face, Martha sure knew how to hit where it hurts! Wilson's face twitched with irritation. His cold, calculating eyes fixed on Jasper. "You've just lost your allowance for the month."

His hard-earned money was gone, just like that? Jasper's lips twitched in disbelief. He hadn't even laughed! How was this fair?

Wasn't Wilson just venting all his frustration on the one at the bottom of the family pecking order?

Jasper whined with an exaggerated grievance. "Yvie, just look at Wilson! Is there any fairness here? I demand justice!"
