Yvonne was surprised by Shane's words. Just earlier today, Shane still seemed like an idle rich kid, but he suddenly became so motivated.noveldrama

With a smile, Yvonne said, "I didn't expect you to go looking for a job."

Yvonne thought Shane would eventually grow tired of living with someone else after receiving his first paycheck. Then, he would eventually rent a place and move out on his own. At that thought, Yvonne couldn't help but smile. She remarked, "Not bad; that's an improvement."

Shane sat down by the dining table and lowered his gaze. Upon hearing Yvonne's words, his mood became better. He thought that Sasha was right-Yvonne had feelings for him.

He had only just begun living life like an average man, yet Yvonne had praised him. She had low expectations for him.

Shane silently swore that no matter what happened in the future, he would work hard to provide Yvonne with a better lifestyle. He promised to never betray Yvonne.

Over the meal, Yvonne stole glances at Shane. After a while, she finally made up her mind to ask a question.

"May I know what your relationship is with Sasha Weston?"

Shane was enjoying his food when he heard Yvonne's question. He immediately looked up at her.

Feeling his gaze, Yvonne looked away uncomfortably. She felt regretful for asking that question. After all, Shane and Sasha shared the same social circle, and Yvonne assumed they were closer than Shane was with her.

Now that she had suddenly brought up Sasha in the conversation, having harbored thoughts of getting Shane's help to deal with Sasha, Yvonne wished she hadn't asked the question. She was confident that Shane would never help her!

While Yvonne was thinking of changing the topic, Shane was silently giddy about Yvonne's question. He believed that Yvonne was afraid he might have feelings for Sasha and might never fall in love with her; hence, she beat around the bush by asking that question. In response, Shane put on a serious face and said, "It's so-so."

Hearing that, Yvonne expressed, "Huh?"

"I used to be fond of her," Shane said.

Even though Shane could hide it from Yvonne, if she wanted to look into it, she would be able to find out about it. Because of that, Shane decided to be honest with Yvonne.

He continued, "After I confessed to her, she was hesitant. Later, I trusted what my friends said, and I believed that she loved me.

"With no other women fighting for my attention, Sasha never felt a sense of urgency. I decided to find a stand-in lover to provoke Sasha."

At that time, Shane thought his friends were right. But now that he thought about it again, he realized how ridiculous his friends' advice was.

"But after I listened to them and found a stand-in lover, Sasha stopped talking to me." Shane exclaimed, "Sasha's pretty normal."

Yvonne had initially expected Shane and Sasha to have a long history together. But after hearing Shane's story, she realized that their relationship was very shallow. Yvonne chuckled and said, "You're right."

At the thought of Sasha, Shane said, "Now that I see how well she's living, I'm honestly a little envious. We were both brought up in a rich

Qui

environment. After my father cut ties with me, I've only been able to get support from my friends.

"Sasha's parents still dote on her, but she was willing to find a job. She adjusted to a more modest lifestyle of only having 20,000 dollars to spend in a month and even found enjoyment in it." en

Shane couldn't help but feel dejected, wondering if he could measure up to Sasha.
