Chapter 571

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 work commitments, and Bennett had a rare day off.

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

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

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

"Is this... a pink diamond?"

"Mhm," Bennett nodded.

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

The necklace 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 necklace 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," Bennett said.

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

But Bennett 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 uncomfortable.

"You'll have to go sooner or later.

Besides, everyone is very

easygoing,

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

"But I'm not Yvonne anymore," Yvonne said, her head slightly bowed. Bennett 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 Bennett wasn't skilled at it, struggling for a while without success.

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.

Bennett laughed, catching her hand and affectionately ruffling her hair

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

side dishes, along with sausages—a truly lavish spread.

After Bennett and Yvonne finished breakfast, they left together.

Bennett drove her to a high-end boutique.

Since it was a family dinner, Yvonne chose a modest pink dress that complemented the necklace.

"You look beautiful," Bennett 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 military compound.

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