Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez Novel by Selina Gorges

Aurora pecked out from behind Clifford’s back, her expression was a mix of shock, joy, and confusion. She thought, ‘So now the situation is that Yvette is actually my dream daughter–in–law She’s Jeremiah’s girlfriend?‘

Her mind quickly shifted gears. She felt that she and Jeremiah had the same great taste. Both of them had chosen the same wonderful woman.

Clifford pulled Aurora from behind him. He thought, ‘You’re going to be a mother–in–law. Stop acting so childish. Quit hiding

Without Clifford in front of her, Aurora felt a bit uneasy. She gave him a glare. Then she looked at Yvette. She had promised to be a gentle and charming mother–in–law in front of her daughter–in–law. But she let Yvette see what just happened.

Aurora regretted it so much, she was beside herself. With an embarrassed expression, she told a lie she didn’t even believe. “Well, actually, the person you saw wasn’t me. You’re sleepwalking now. Do you believe me?”

Both Jeremiah and Clifford were speechless.

After saying that, Aurora absentmindedly stared at Yvette. Thinking about how likely it was to knock Yvette out right now. After speaking, Aurora’s head drooped. Her image of the powerful businesswoman who could command the corporate world was gone. She was now radiating an aura of complete dejection.

Yvette slowly lifted her eyes, her gaze calm and her expression neutral. “You were pretty cool just now.”

A few simple words once again made Aurora lift her head instantly. She was filled with delight that Yvette actually called her impressive. “Yvette, you think I’m cool, right? Let me tell you. I wasn’t even serious just now. If I showed all my killer moves from my younger days, they would have been impressed ages ago. I even once trained under an old monk, but don’t let that get out. I’m really humble about it.”

That nickname caught Clifford and Jeremiah by surprise again. They found Aurora quite nonchalant and were completely at a loss when it came to Aurora’s whims. They’d been handling it this way for years. It’d been a long and tough journey, to put it mildly. They got used to it. Especially Clifford, who was, more accustomed.

Aurora patted her chest and quickly added, “Don’t worry. From now on, if there’s ever a fight, just call me. I’ve got your back. With those thin arms and legs, you’re probably not cut out for fighting, but it’s okay. We’re like family, right? I’ll step in, and you just stay behind me.” She had every bit the demeanor of a leader.

At first glance, Yvette knew that Aurora didn’t have any vibe of ancient martial arts. But she didn’t reveal Aurora. She just nodded. “Okay.”

To Aurora, Yvette seemed both cute and well–behaved. She felt her heart melting at Yvette’s cuteness.

Jeremiah couldn’t stand to watch. Aurora had never seen Yvette take down a crocodile with her bare hands. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such things even if her life depended on it.

Off to the side, Clifford noticed how Aurora’s mood changed suddenly, one moment happy the next gloomy, and he sighed helplessly.

Aurora is in her fifties now. Yet she was still easy to feel thrilled once being praised.

And all that talk about the old monk was from many years ago. The man indeed taught her a few techniques, but she didn’t learn a single one. In the end, she frustrated him so much that he became a monk and retreated into a monastery, never leaving it since.

Jeremiah saw how Aurora was being so friendly with Yvette, and felt a sting of jealousy. But he couldn’t take it out on Aurora, so he just glared at Jeremiah next to him. He was upset that Jeremiah found a girlfriend to steal Aurora’s attention.

At the same time, Jeremiah also glanced at Clifford. He was also upset that Aurora became his love rival,

But, to be honest, Clifford was stunned for a moment. The girl who was about to be Aurora’s sister suddenly turned out to be Jeremiah’s girlfriend. Even Clifford was very composed and used to handling big situations, he found it quite amusing that Aurora and Jeremiah both fell for Yvette.

Yvette maintained her usual cool demeanor, her jet–black eyes shining like polished onyx.

Jeremiah stepped forward and gently took her cold, delicate hand. They stood together. She tilted her head without saying anything. In terms of looks alone, they were unbeatable, the perfect match and a feast for the eyes.

Aurora’s eyes lit up when she saw the pair standing together, but then b

mood darkened. For someone who really cared about appearances like her, this combination of a handsome guy and pretty girl was perfect for her. She’d feel bad if she didn’t ship this couple. But she was somehow upset that Yvette was with Jeremiah, not her. She found that quite frustrating.

Jeremiah glanced at Yvette, then looked up at Clifford and Aurom. With a serious expression, he spoke in an official tone, “Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend Yvette. She’s going to be my wife and the mother of my children.”

Clifford looked at their hands, fingers intertwined. It was such a natural gesture. Although he was quite happy inside, his face remained stern. “Alright, got it.”

His attitude towards Jeremiah was distant, as if he didn’t care much. But when he turned to Yvette, his expression became much warmer. Even though he maintained a serious demeanor, it was clear that Clifford was very pleased. He said to Yvette, “Hello, I’m Clifford, Jeremiah’s father.”

Yvette lifted her eyes and saw Clifford’s gaze filled with kindness. There was a slight pause. In her usual calm voice, she said, “Hello, I’m Yvette, Jeremiah’s girlfriend.”

Both of them reintroduced themselves. It was clear their titles and roles had changed from just a moment ago. They added a bit of formality.

Upon seeing the poised Yvette, Clifford felt satisfied. As the Chavez family’s daughter–in–law, she didn’t need a noble background, but she couldn’t be petty. If Yvette had merely stood by watching the fight or tried to interfere, he wouldn’t have approved of her. He frequently said the same thing. As long as she was justified, even if she caused chaos in Betrico, the Chavez family would support her. He was quite pleased with Yvette and proud of Jeremiah.

In a word, the Chavez family was known for protecting their own, not tolerating any nonsense.

Aurora stepped forward to pry Yvette’s hand from Jeremiah’s grasp, successfully taking over Jeremiah’s previous spot.

Jeremiah looked at his now–empty hand. The hand he was holding a second ago was now in Aurora’s grip. He had a slight twitch at the corner of his eye. He felt it was necessary to remind Aurora. “Mom, she’s my girlfriend.”

Aurora nodded confidently and said without hesitation, “I know. She’s my daughter–in–law.”

Jeremiah was once again defeated by Aurora’s shamelessness. The way she confidently took things from others definitely made her the most shameless one.

Clifford coughed a couple of times. “Aurora, you’re my wife.”

Aurora squinted at Clifford. “I know. Yvette is my daughter–in–law.”

Clifford had a strong feeling that his status in the family was about to drop again.

Aurora, without caring what Jeremiah and Clifford thought, warmly took Yvette’s hand. She smoothly slipped the safety. charm bracelet from the temple, which she wore, onto Yvette’s slender wrist. She chuckled warmly.

Both Clifford and Jeremiah were momentarily stunned by the scene. Because this safety charm held great significance for Aurora.
