Chapter 2726

Yannie lifted her head to gaze at Thomas' handsome face, smiling. "Not too long ago."

"Liar." Thomas sighed, gently wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve, and then helped her get into the car. "Let's go."

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Yannie buckled her seatbelt and turned to stare at Thomas. "What are we doing this afternoon?"

Thomas curled his lips into a smile and said, smiling, as he started the engine, "You'll find out soon enough; I've been waiting for this day since ages ago."

Even though Thomas knew that his wretched father was not apologizing out of genuine remorse, due to the situation at hand, the fact that he was willing to admit his mistake was enough.

When his mother's birthday rolled around, he could finally visit his mother's grave and declare to her that her son had finally helped avenge her death.

Yannie sighed when she saw Thomas smiling but did not ask further questions.

Since he was not willing to reveal anything yet, she would wait patiently. After all, it was about time, and she would

find out soon enough.

Besides...

Since they were heading to Howard Mansion, Yannie could make an educated guess as to why Thomas was so delighted. The car soon arrived at its destination where Tina and Denise were both standing at the door, awaiting their arrival.

As soon as Thomas' car pulled to a stop, Tina approached them with a giant smile. "You're right on time, Thomas...

However, both Tina and Denise's smiles froze on their faces when they saw Yannie getting out of the passenger seat.

Tina first stared at Yannie in disbelief, then glanced at Denise.

Finally, she shot Thomas a disapproving glance." Thomas, you knew full well why I called you here for lunch today, so why did you have to bring an outsider along?"

The color drained from Yannie's face.

Thomas, on the other hand, put his arm around Yannie's shoulder and stared coldly at Tina and Denise. "Who are you calling an outsider? Yannie is the mother of my daughter and my future wife. If you consider her

an

outsider..."

He curled his lips into a smirk and swept his icy gaze over Denise's face. "What about Ms. Hughes here?" Denise paled at this.

Tina paused, then chuckled and replied, "Denise is my goddaughter, so of course she's not an outsider."

Then, she smiled and turned around, pulling Denise along with her. "We're all family!"

"I shouldn't have come, should I?" Yannie asked softly, biting her lip as she watched Tina and Denise leave.

"Nonsense." Thomas pulled her closer to him. "If you don't think you should come, I shouldn't, too. Since they've claimed me as their son, they'll also have to claim you as their daughter-in-law."

A surge of warmth spread into Yannie's heart when she heard this.

She bit her lip and murmured in response, then pried herself away from Thomas' grip and followed him into the house.

However, to Thomas' surprise

Tina had initially told her that Senior Howard was

supposed to apologize to him over lunch, but as soon as they entered the door, they realized that Senior Howard was not even home.

Thomas furrowed his brow as he stared at Tina. "Where's that wretched man?"
