?Chapter 1054:


    Yvonne noticed but didn’t say a word, simply shifting to give him some space.


    She popped strawberries into her mouth while watching TV.


    Norton’s eyes stayed on her, but she didn’t acknowledge him. Her focus was on the TV as she snacked on fruit.


    Realizing she had no interest in him, Norton grabbed the fruit te for himself.


    Yvonne finished her mango and reached for more, only to find the te empty.


    She nced at Norton—he was the one holding the te, his eyes fixed on the screen, refusing to look her way. She rolled her eyes in frustration.


    Norton, however, kept an eye on her from the corner of his vision, waiting for her to say something.


    Instead, she just threw her fork onto the table with a sharp tter.


    “You…” He began to speak but thought better of it.


    Yvonne stood up, shot him a quick nce, and walked upstairs without saying another word. She couldn’t be bothered to argue. If he wanted the fruit so much, he could keep it. Once in her room, she began getting ready for bed.


    Norton didn’te to disturb her, so she slept peacefully.


    The next morning, they had breakfast in silence, just like always. When she was about to step out, Norton grabbed her and quickly shut the door.


    Yvonne demanded, “What the hell are you doing?” She spun around and shot him a furious look. Her cab had already arrived! Norton’s first response to her voice was a brief moment of joy. He scratched his nose and said in a calm tone, “I’ll give you a ride to work.”


    Yvonne didn’t say another word and simply followed Norton out of the house.


    The driver was already waiting. They got in, and the ride passed without a word.


    When they reached her office building, Yvonne opened the car door. “Thank you.”


    After that, she turned and walked off.

    Norton heard her words and thought she wasn’t as cold as he’d assumed.


    For the first time in days, he allowed himself a small smile as he motioned for the driver to leave.


    Yvonne went straight to the office, not pausing.


    Most of her coworkers were already there. Malvina and Rory were sitting at their desks.


    Rory spotted Yvonne and grinned. “Congrats on your big promotion!”


    Yvonne was about to thank him with a smile when Malvina interrupted, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she nced at Rory. “Oh, how nice of you to congratte her. I thought your loyalty was with Heidi. And let’s not forget how many times you’ve stabbed Yvonne in the back. A bitte for thepliments, don’t you think?”
