Yvette lazily glanced at Jeremiah, harboring a slight urge to "stab him in her thoughts, Jeremiah had prepared unnec thick clothes. 'Is he implying I can't handle the cold? she wondered.

In the back seat, Frankie, Chris, and Emmett watched Yvette, who was bundled up. They wanted to laugh but dared not, holding it in with great effort. However, they couldn't deny it-Jeremiah really didn't want Yvette to catch a chill Alice tugged on Yvette's sleeve, her big eyes blinking. She asked, Yvette, are you freezing Among everyone present, Alice was the only one who didn't notice that Yvette was ignoring Jeremiah. Her demeanor had turned frosty. Yvette lifted her eyelids slightly and replied calmly, "I'm not." Alice seemed a bit confused, wondering, 'Why is Yvette wearing such thick clothes if she isn't cold? Afraid Alice would keep asking. Emmett quickly pulled a lollipop out of his pocket for her. Satisfied, Alice sat quietly in the back seat, happily enjoying her candy. When Yvette saw Jeremiah glance her way, she immediately turned her head to look elsewhere, closing her eyes as if telling him not to mess with her.

For this trip to Hillscester, Bruce booked the presidential suites of the largest hotel in the area and reserved an entire floor. After checking in, everyone went to their rooms to rest.

Alice stayed with Sienna in one of the presidential suites next to Yvette and Jeremiah's room. The rest of the group's roomy were also adjacent to one another.

In her room, Yvette stepped out of the bathroom after a shower, dressed in a loose T-shirt and a pair of shorts that revealed her long and straight legs, which were tanned, firm, and flawless, Jeremiah stood up from the couch, handing Yvette a glass of lemonade while naturally taking switched on the hairdryer and slowly dried her hair strand by strand.

owel from her hands. He Through the mirror, Yvette watched Jeremiah's defined profile. His eyes were bright and focused, exuding clarity. Jeremiah, gazing downward, felt the softness of her hair in his hands. His eyes grew darker, and his lips curled slightly into a faint smile.

After turning off the hairdryer and setting it aside, Jeremiah wrapped his arms around Yvette's waist from behind, leaning close to her ear. He murmured, "Rest for a bit. We'll go out to eat later." Yvette half-closed her eyes, raised an eyebrow slightly, and nodded in response.

The next moment, Jeremiah scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. He set her down gently, then tugged at his white shirt, revealing his chiseled, bare torso. His gray lounge pants hung loosely, exuding a casual yet deliberate appeal. As he leaned down slightly, his breath, hot and teasing, brushed against Yvette's collarbone, leaving a trace of redness. Yvette, staring at him with unreadable eyes, smirked. His attempt at seduction was too obvious, yet he was acting cool and indifferent. Yvette lowered her gaze, pretending not to notice Jeremiah. Then, she calmly closed her eyes. Although Yvette was faced 1/3 111 10:54 Mon, Dec 30 Chapter 623 84% with such a stunning scene, her indifference perfectly illustrated what it meant to remain utterly unaffected. Seeing her shut her eyes, Jeremiah paused, frowning slightly.

Is my charm no longer effective? Has Yvette lost interest in me? Do I no longer attract her?' Jeremiah wondered. Yvette remained unaware that in those fleeting seconds, countless thoughts had raced through Jeremiah The next moment, he lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace, his chirr resting atop her head. He nazzled her hair gently and murmured, "Let's sleep." Though his words conveyed care, the faint trace of grievance in his voice didn't escape Yvette's notice. Yvette, lying in his arms with her back to him, opened her eyes. They sparkled with humor rather than fatigue, and a playful smile danced across her delicate features.

The instant Yvette opened her eyes, Jeremiah's hold tightened instinctively. "Don't laugh," he muttered. Yvette turned to face him, snuggling into his chest. She raised her gaze, her eyes softening, and let out a faint chuckle. Moments later, Yvette shifted, straddling Jeremiah's waist. Leaning forward, she buried her face in the crook of his neck, her warm breath teasing his skin, sending a tingling sensation coursing through him. Jeremiah wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes fixed on her. Yvette stretched languidly, her loose T-shirt barely covering her waist, exposing her smooth skin.

Yvette noticed the desire simmering in Jeremiah's eyes. Her voice, low and slightly husky, carried an undeniable allure as she said, "Letteach you what real seduction is. Watch and learn." Jeremiah froze. If he had retained even a shred of composure earlier, the way Yvette spoke shattered it completely.

Yvette's lips curled into a mischievous smile. The next second, she leaned down, planting a kiss on the corner of Jeremiah's lips.

The intensity of her kiss caught him off guard, rendering him momentarily speechless. His mind went blank, and all rational thought dissipated, leaving only the instinctive desire to hold her tighter. Seizing his momentary daze, Yvette wrapped her arms around his neck.

At 9 p.m., since Bruce had booked the entire floor, several presidential suites remained unused. One had been converted into a casual dining and social space for the group.

Emmett and Alice sat together, Bruce and Sienna occupied another couch, while Frankie and Chris, the two single men, huddled together.

An hour earlier, Frankie had suggested playing poker. Withnothing else to do everyone agreed.

After two rounds, the wins and losses were minimal. Chris had lost a bit, and Sienna had won slightly. Noticing Alice quietly playing with her Lego bricks, Sienna asked Alice, would you like to join?

Sienna, who had a soft spot for adorable girls like Alice, was immediately won over. Aside from Emmett, Sienna was the second person that favored Alice the most in the group, Sienna said, "Of course, you can, Alice. If you want to play, go ahead and let Emmett show you."

Emmett, just returning from the kitchen with a plate of freshly cut fruit om for Alice, noticed hexinterest in poker and chuckled indulgently. "If Alice wants to play, I'll cover her bets," he said. Chapter 623 Hearing that, Frankie perked up. Sienna had found a way to get Emmett to spend his own money, a feat that was usually impossible.

Frankie chuckled slyly, brimming with confidence. "Alice, con over! overn m Chris, move aside and give Alice the NO seat, he said. The others, seeing Frankie's excited expression, immediately knew what he was up to.
