Chapter 19 Yesenia sheepishly looked up , meeting Jayvion's gaze , which was inscrutable , deep , and cold . She inched backward , trying to retreat to her spot by the door . But then the car jerked to another sudden stop , sending Yesenia tumbling forward again . This time , it was even worse as her face collided directly with his lap , which was firm and scorching hot . Clutching her forehead , she glared at Emanuel in the driver's seat . Emanuel said , " It was a red light . Ms. Mosley , sit tight . " Yesenia stayed silent . She wanted to sit tight . But from the moment she'd gotten in the car , she hadn't even had a chance to fasten her seatbelt . Grumbling internally , she slowly pushed herself up . Just as she moved back to that spot , Jayvion's icy , sarcastic remark rang out , " Do you plan to throw yourself into my arms next time to sit on that spot ? " Yesenia turned her head instantly . " That's quite the impressive ego you've got there . " Jayvion sneered , " How convenient that you just happened to get close twice . " Chapparta " 1 " It wasn't intentional ! " " Oh . " Yesenia wanted to punch him . Fuming , she turned to stare out the window . Outside , a billboard was still broadcasting the aftermath of the earlier spectacle . Reporters had followed the Mosley family to the hospital . Sylvia had been rushed into the emergency room , while Belinda , Theresa , and members of the Carson family waited anxiously outside . The Mosleys had their bodyguards block off the area , refusing interviews and offering no explanations . Online , the ridicule aimed at the Mosley family was intensifying . Yesenia was wondering what excuse Sylvia would use this time to smooth things over when Jayvion's voice interrupted her thoughts , " Yesenia , what exactly are you up to ? " " What ? " Confused , she turned back to him , At some point , Jayvion had leaned in , his tall frame crowding her against the seat . His eyes were cold , emotionless , yet piercing , as if they could see straight through her . " What people say about you is that you're arrogant , rebellious , and indolent , " Jayvion said , his gaze fixed on her . " But you're an incredible . cook , sharp - witted , and even have an exceptional design talent . " He studied her intently . " What else are you capable of ? " Yesenia lifted her face , her clear eyes meeting his sharp , scrutinizing stare without a trace of evasion or panic . " Jayvion , I told you I'm here to make it up to you and treat your leg . " Every word was spoken with unwavering honesty , as if she truly had no ulterior motives . They locked eyes for a long moment . Finally , Jayvion's lips twisted into something like a cold smirk as he settled back into his scat . Yesenia frowned , unsure what to make of his reaction . She moved toward him , bracing a hand beside him . " You don't believe me ? Are you actually scared of me ? " " Yesenia , why should I trust you ? " Jayvion said bluntly , making not effort to hide his skepticism . " I don't know what tricks you used , but I know you're involved in what happened today with the Mosley family . He reached out , gripping her chin . " You'd even turn on your own family . Yesenia , you're too calculating . " With that , his fingers tightened before shoving her aside . Yesenia stiffened for a second , then swallowed back the anger simmering in her chest . " That's my business . It has nothing to do with you . " Jayvion didn't respond , and the rest of the ride passed in silence . When they returned to the manor at Erton Valley , Jayvion immediately called Emanuel upstairs with him . Rohan approached Yesenia . " Are you all right , Ms. Yesenia ? " She shook her head . " I'm fine . " Rohan studied Yesenia carefully , confirming she truly seemed fine . before relaxing . " Don't take offense . Ms. Yesenia . Mr. Wyatt used to be very cheerful , but after his injury , he … changed a bit . " Yesenia shrugged it off . " So just because he gets to be emotionally fragile now ? That's it ? " Her bluntness left Rohan speechless . He could only offer an awkward . smile . Yesenia rolled her shoulders . " Relax . I know I owe him . Until his legs are healed , even if he throws tantrums and acts unreasonable , I won't storm off . You don't have to worry , Rohan . " The sincerity in her expression made Rohan exhale in relief . " Having you here really puts our minds at ease , Ms. Yesenia . " me . Yesenia grinned , " Thanks for trusting Rohan . " He chuckled warmly , " Honestly , other than you , no one else could. handle his temper these days . " Yesenia remained silent . It was the truth , but hearing it out loud felt weird , as if she was some kind of unlucky fool …. That night had really been a mistake ! Shaking off the thought , she checked the time and headed to the kitchen to prepare Jayvion's dinner . After last night's disaster , the chefs were extra cautious , stashing away every ingredient Jayvion disliked . Just in case , they craned their necks from a distance as Yesenia cooked , terrified she might sneak something strange into the food when they weren't looking . If another incident occurred , they'd probably all be fired . Fully aware she wasn't welcome , Yesenia dropped off the meal and left before Jayvion even arrived . She asked Rohan for Jayvion's medical records , but unfortunately , Jayvion kept them himself . No one else had access . But she asked Rohan about Jayvion's symptoms when the episode occurred , forming a basic assessment . But for anything concrete , she'd need to examine him personally . Now , the biggest problem was Jayvion's outright refusal to let her treat him . She couldn't afford to waste time stuck in this stalemate . Just as she was mulling it over , her phone buzzed with a new message . At 9:30 p.m. , Jayvion left the study and returned to his bedroom . When he pushed the door open , the sound of running water came from the bathroom . He scanned the room but didn't see Yesenia . He thought , " Hah . So , she's throwing a tantrum after I called her out ? Too ashamed to face me ? What a hypocrite . " He frowned , irritated by an agitation he couldn't explain . He refused to admit that Yesenia was the reason for his frustration . After dismissing Emanuel , Jayvion maneuvered his wheelchair into the bathroom as usual . Seeing the maid with her back turned , testing the water temperature , he remarked . " Get out . " The maid stood and slowly turned around . " It's dangerous for you to be alone in here with your condition , Mr. Wyatt . Let me help you . " Jayvion's brow lifted slightly at Yesenia's smiling face , a fleeting surprise so brief even he might not have noticed . Just as swiftly , his expression hardened into a glower . " Yesenia , what are you up to now ? " She stepped closer with a grin . Bending down slightly , she said , " Didn't you tell me to take care of you ? I'm just following your orders . " Jayvion hesitated , distracted by the generous view down her collar . In that moment of distraction , Yesenia had already undone two buttons . of his shirt . His expression darkened instantly . He seized her slender wrist , which seemed so delicate that a single squeeze might break it . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
