After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Who's Your Honey?
"I … " Yvette's face showed a mix of emotions, her thoughts a chaotic mess.

"Don't worry about me. Talk it over with Max, settle on getting married, and work out the terms of the agreement directly with him."

"Do you think he'll agree to it?" Yvette asked nervously.

"He will," Isabel said with confidence, believing Max wouldn't just agree but would also be pleased to do so.

From the start, Max had been eager to live with Yvette, mainly to stop Reggie from getting too close to her.

Even though Reggie had repeatedly assured Max that he only saw Yvette as a sister, Max couldn't overlook Reggie's good looks.

No matter how much Reggie tried to explain, Max's unease didn't fade.

Yvette, however, refused to let Max move in. Despite all his efforts to convince her, Max didn't have the courage to force the issue, fearing it might upset her.

Now that the chance had arrived, how could Max let it slip through his fingers?

Forget about any formal agreements—he just needed to persuade Yvette into becoming his wife first.

Once they were married, they'd naturally grow closer, and over time, their bond might turn into something lasting.

Eventually, Yvette took Isabel's suggestion and made a three-part deal with Max.

Max didn't hesitate for a second. No matter how unreasonable Yvette's demands seemed, he agreed without complaint. As long as she married him, she would be his, free for him to shape their future as he wanted.

Saturday came, marking the day when the two families would finally meet.

Yvette dragged Isabel to the taxi, refusing to let her slip away.

Isabel chuckled and said, "Relax, I'm not going to bail halfway. Just calm down and stop worrying."

Still, Isabel couldn't help but feel awkward. Why did she have to be present for this meeting? She was the odd one out—it was honestly embarrassing.

"We've arrived," the taxi driver announced as the car came to a stop. "The fare is 56 dollars."

Once Thomas Sullivan paid the fare and stepped out of the vehicle, he paused in front of the International Grand Hotel, appearing slightly disoriented.

Kate Anderson exited next, lifting her gaze to the grand, lavish building. She stared in awe for a moment before glancing at Yvette. "Are you positive this is the right spot?"

Yvette hesitated, her mouth opening slightly, equally taken aback by how extravagant Max's chosen meeting place was.

A five-star hotel like this must cost a fortune, right?

"Max is really going all out to show off," Yvette mumbled quietly to herself.

Her voice was so soft that neither Thomas nor Kate caught her words, but Isabel, standing nearby, heard her clearly.

Isabel merely shrugged, choosing not to comment. They'd see for themselves soon enough.

"Honey!" Max called out enthusiastically as he emerged from the hotel, a wide grin on his face as he welcomed Yvette and the group.

"Who's your honey?" Yvette muttered under her breath, clearly annoyed.

Max strolled up to Yvette and casually addressed her parents with a cheerful, "Hi, Dad! Hi, Mom!"

"Unbelievable!" Yvette shot him an exasperated look, rolling her eyes in frustration.

Thomas shot Yvette a disapproving glance before addressing Max. "Ahem—well, since what's done is done, you can call us Mom and Dad for now. But what you did was completely out of line. She's been pregnant for months, and we didn't even know."

"I'm sorry, Dad. I was wrong to handle things that way—I was immature! But I promise, I'll take good care of Yve from now on and never let anyone bully her." Max's earnest apology left Thomas momentarily at a loss for words.
