Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 584

An hour later, at the modern tower’s bistro.

Yuna had just taken a tumble out of the elevator, ruining the fur-trimmed dress she had so carefully chosen for the evening. As a result, she had to go to the mall for a quick change of clothes, which made her half an hour late to the restaurant.

Robert was perched by the window, his disdain palpable as Yuna came into view.

Hackett observed Robert’s behavior with a frown and whispered a stern warning, “Today marks the anniversary of your mother and me. For the sake of our celebration, try to be decent to your sister.”

Sister? He never truly accepted Yuna as such! Robert wanted to retort, but he didn’t want to ruin his parents’ special day, so he swallowed his words.

Yuna approached the table timidly, her eyes skittering over to the empty seat next to Robert, her feigned timidity nauseatingly evident, “Bro, may I sit here next to you?”

Robert chose to ignore her, sullenly sipping his drink.

Hackett shot him a displeased look before turning to Yuna, his expression softening as he reassured her, “Go ahead! Of course, you can sit there! We’re all family here!”

As Yuna sat down, she sneaked a glance at Robert, looking utterly intimidated, as though, he had bullied her before.
