?Chapter 1068:


    Ethan kept an eye on Yvonne through the rearview mirror, spotting the disappointment in her eyes. He softly spoke a few kind words to ease her. “What’s troubling you? Was today especially tiring?”


    Yvonne managed a smile. “It’s nothing.” She didn’t want to discuss Norton with anyone else.


    Ethan’s expression softened, his voice warm. “If something’s bothering you, you can confide in me. Sometimes it helps to share.”


    Yvonne paused for quite a while, but finally kept quiet. “I was just mulling over the proposal for The Wilderness. I want it to be perfect.”


    “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The more you chase perfection, the more burden you ce on yourself,” Ethan offered as advice.


    Yvonne nodded. “I understand. I just don’t want to let thepany down.”


    Ethan spoke gently. “You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Just do your best. I’m here to support you.”


    Yvonne heard the sincerity in Ethan’s words and offered him a thankful smile. “Thank you.”


    She felt truly moved, and for a time, she pushed her concerns about Norton aside, focusing instead on discussing the proposal with Ethan. Ethan knew his stuff, and each idea he threw out was a huge help to Yvonne.


    Before long, they arrived at Yvonne’s home.


    “Okay, Yvonne. Head on home and get some rest.” Ethan got out and opened the car door for her.


    Before parting, he gently patted her shoulder, wrapping up all his advice in one phrase. “Just remember not to stress yourself out.”


    Yvonne said goodbye to him with a smile.


    Norton’s driver had driven swiftly straight home. When they arrived, Norton stood by the window, eager to catch sight of Yvonne’s return. When he finally spotted Ethan’s car downstairs, his anger red.


    Out by the vi, Ethan and Yvonne talked andughed together. Her face lit up with joy, and Norton nearly lost control, wanting to dash downstairs to her.

    He forced himself to stay calm, watching as the two chatted for what seemed like an eternity, with Yvonne making no effort to leave.


    He fixed his gaze on her, but she seemedpletely oblivious.


    Time dragged on endlessly for Norton. The moment he noticed Ethanying a hand on Yvonne’s shoulder, fury boiled over—he punched the wall with a loud thud.


    After taking a moment to gather himself, he watched Yvonne wave goodbye to Ethan with a smile, then turn and head inside.


    Norton squinted, keeping a close watch on Ethan as he lingered for what felt like ages before finally pulling away in his car.
