“Then why did you not tell me that you were meeting her? Didn’t you say that you were at the hospital?”
.
Yvonne was so enraged that she refused to accept his explanation. She glared at him coldly, growling,
“Go ahead with your dinner! Eat more and make sure I don’t ruin the mood of your date!”
With that, she turned to leave.
“Yvonne!” Lucas shouted behind her.
Yvonne completely ignored him and pulled Stella along her way out.
That was when Lucas noticed that Stella was with her, and his face darkened even further.
He had repeatedly nagged at Yvonne for keeping in contact with Stella, yet here she was, blatantly
going against his advice.
After both of them left, the woman looked apologetically at Lucas. “I’m so sorry, Dr. Quirk, for causing a
misunderstanding with your wife. Why don’t we call it a night? Please go home and explain things to
her.”
Lucas sat back down expressionlessly, “No need. Let’s go on.” “That’s not too good, isn’t it?”
“She will understand,” Lucas said. “She’s just throwing a minor tantrum and won’t take it to heart.”
The woman paused for a moment before smiling. “It seems you and your wife share a great
relationship.”
Lucas sipped on his coffee as a gentle look washed over his eyes.
Yvonne stormed out of the restaurant angrily with Stella in tow.
Both of them entered the elevator.
The doors closed with a soft ding as she spotted Lucas rushing out of the restaurant.
Anger boiled in her heart and she yelled, “That scandalous couple!”
“I’m so mad!” she raved in frustration.
Stella waited for her to calm down before asking her, “Do you know what Dr. Quirk and that woman
were here for?”
Yvonne scoffed, “They claimed that there’s nothing going on between them except for work What work
requires them to come to a restaurant like this? What’s more, he previously told me that he was
working overtime in the hospital. In a blink of an eye, here he was at a romantic western restaurant.
Does he take me for a fool?”
Yvonne was still at the peak of her anger and was unable to comprehend why Lucas did what he did.
Stella could understand how she felt and tried to comfort her. “After Dr. Quirk returns home, you can
always ask him in detail. Whatever it is, clear things up with him first…” The elevator doors opened.
Yvonne hesitated for a moment before stepping out. Both of them had walked out of the main entrance,
and Lucas still hadn’t come running after them.
Stella could tell what Yvonne was thinking and suggested, “Why don’t we head to the supermarket next
door for some water?” Yvonne knew that Stella was giving her an excuse to stay on, and she said
coldly, “No need. Let’s head home.”
She was waiting for Lucas to chase her, but he did not. It disappointed and let her down greatly,
especially in front of a friend. Before Stella could say anything further, Yvonne added, “I’ll send you
back first. I’m so sorry. We had agreed on having dinner together, but I didn’t expect something like this
to happen.” “It’s fine,” Stella said.
Yvonne shook her head. “I just need some alone time.”
Stella fully understood that feeling.
When something like that happened, nothing else mattered except the other party’s explanation.
