Chapter 283 Get Belle a Stepfather

In the lounge.

Yvette pulled Belle into her arms and said anxiously, "Belle, where did you go?"

"I was looking for Da..."

I couldn't say I'm looking for Daddy. Mommy will be sad! Belle covered her mouth immediately.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't run around anymore."

Yvette had calmed down and kissed her little face. "Let's go home. Kamila made your favorite dish."

Marlon let Belle sit on the suitcase and pushed her along. Yvette followed behind.

Though with masks on, their good looks were still eye-catching at the airport.

A man secretly took a few photos with his phone and posted them online through a video. In a few minutes, the video titled "There comes the modern family" went viral and became a trending topic. Soon, the identity of the man in the photos was found.

"Wow, it's so rare to see Marlon Lynn here. He is the youngest biology professor at University College London. His lectures are always full. Students even have to wait for seats."

"I heard that he resigned from University College London and returned here to be a visiting professor at Cornell University."

"But is Professor Lynn married? The woman beside him looks gorgeous and must be very good-looking as well. And that cute girl, her big eyes are so adorable."

"I don't know. The professor has not mentioned his private life in public."

"With such appearance and vibe, they seem to be from a rich and powerful family. Even top stars could not be their match..."

An hour later, the trending topic was removed by Marlon's people.

Everyone knew that Marlon was a very handsome young professor. However, they did not replace out that the Lynn family was a wealthy family engaged in the international shipping business. And five years ago, the Lynn family found their lost little daughter.

However, this family kept a low profile and never revealed the identity of the little daughter. So far, the look of the little. daughter remained a secret.

Late at night.

The President's Office of the Wolseley Group was still brightly lit.

Frankie received a few photos on his phone. They were screenshots of the trending video, which had been removed in the

afternoon.

In these screenshots, there was only the woman from all angles except the front face.

The message followed was: "To be confirmed."

That year, Lance fell ill after the fruitless search.

He had been sick for half a year.

During that time, the Wolseley family underwent a lot of changes.

Jaiden passed away due to illness, and Marcus seized power by getting sixteen percent votes higher than Lance, president of

the company.

After he took the position, Marcus even dismissed many senior employees and placed his own confidants in the company.

Later, Marcus even attended various banquets with his mistress, which aimed to embarrass Tanya obviously.

Tanya was boiling with rage. She collapsed, vomited blood at midnight, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Only then did Lance start to pull himself together and focus on the company. Then he started to work day and night and managed to catch up with Marcus with the strong support from the Beckford

family.

In the past few years, Lance had never mentioned Yvette, but Frankie knew that he had never given up looking for her.

No matter what others said, Lance firmly believed that Yvette was still alive.

Frankie looked at these photos on the phone. He felt that she really looked like Yvette from these angles.

But...

He had received too much disappointing news all these years.

Frankie put down his phone and thought he would better not say it.

Perhaps it would only get Lance's hopes up for nothing as before. The next day.

West Lake Villa.

Yvette and Belle quickly adapted to the environment here..

It was all thanks to Kamila Bard, who had always been taking care of Belle. She came to the new house a week earlier to set everything up. The layout of this house was almost the same as the one they had overseas.

And Marlon lived in the villa next to them.

Late in the afternoon, Marlon drove over to pick Yvette up.

On the way to the restaurant, he said indifferently, "Yvette, take it easy when you meet that boy from the Stanton family. If you are not satisfied, I will tell Dad."

Marlon also felt it was a headache. The first task of coming back this time was to help Yvette build her studio. The second was to replace a reliable man of equal social status for the girl of the Lynn family. However, his father had taken a fancy to the youngest son of the Stanton family, Caiden. When Caiden and Yvette were young, the older generation joked that the two families could be closer by letting them marry when they grew up. Later, the joke was forgotten after Yvette was lost.

He knew that his father liked the family instructions of the Stanton family.

The man of the Stanton family would only have one wife.

It meant that the man of the Stanton family would never divorce or marry again.

In his entire life, he would only choose one person to be his wife.

The Stanton family had followed the instructions for several generations, but Caiden seemed to be an exception considering his bad reputation.

Yvette replied with a nod and looked at the man's cold and sexy look. She pondered for a moment.

"Marlon, you don't look like you're accompanying me on a blind date."

"Huh?" Marlon glanced at her..

"You look more like a warrior, ready for a fight," Yvette added with a smile.

"That's indeed what I meant," Marlon said, narrowing his eyes.

Yvette was stunned.

She didn't expect that her brother was ready to fight.

Obviously, Marlon was dissatisfied with this guy.

When they were about to arrive at the restaurant, Marlon's mobile phone buzzed. It was a school matter and sounded quite

urgent.

Yvette heard it and quickly said, "Marlon, don't worry about me. Go take care of your work. I will go back myself after the meal."

Being worried, Marlon insisted, "I will accompany you first."

"Come on! I'm not a kid. You do what you've got to do."

Marlon looked at the time. "Alright, I'll deal with it quickly and pick you up at eight."

Yvette nodded and got off the car under Marlon's gaze.

In the restaurant.

The waitress knocked on the door and came in to pour coffee.

Caiden, with an enchanting appearance, said to the man beside him, who was cold and abstinent.

"Dude, you have to stand on my side this time. Look at what my father has done. He got me a widow. Moreover, she has a kid. How could I, being so handsome, marry a widow and suddenly become a stepfather? I would be a laughing stock of those

bastards."

The bastards Caiden was talking about were those rich kids he usually hanged with.

They were rich playboys who were good at drinking and flirting with women.

Lance's eyes darkened. Were it not for Caiden's father's request, he would not be interested in meddling in this matter.

But Caiden would only listen to his words.

At this time, the waitress came in with beverages over her delicate hands. She seemed to be living a comfortable life. Lance suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.

From this angle, he could only see the woman's small and round earlobe. An inexplicable sense of familiarity overwhelmed

him.

Caiden was still talking non-stop, "But I heard that the little daughter of the Lynn family is stunning. I would be happy to date

her if her family was not that powerful. Anyway, women are all cheap..."

Splash...

The waitress poured beverages on Caiden's head. Caiden got soaked.

"Fuck!"

Caiden took a deep breath and cursed.

"The Stanton family's instructions sound good but turn out to be empty talk."

Yvette placed the bottle on the table and looked at Caiden with eyes widened out of anger, "Since Mr. Stanton thinks so, there is no need to continue this friendship between our families. I will let my brother personally make it clear with your father."

Fortunately, she had decided to test Caiden's personality in advance.

She must be careful since she was looking for a stepfather for Belle.

Unexpectedly, the man turned out to be such a bastard.

She took off her apron, threw it on the table, and walked out of the room.

"Stop right there!"

Caiden had never been so angry. He raised his sharp eyebrows and grabbed the woman over.

"What the hell are you!"

The mask on Yvette's face was ripped off by him.

A perfect face showed up.

Suddenly, the man's eyes lit up. He stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes burning red.
