Yolanda’s cheeks blazed red. “You… you’re making things up!”
Linden gave her a wounded look, lips pressed together. “Are you trying to back out now?”
For a second, it looked like Yolanda was the one running away from responsibility, while Linden played the part of the abandoned lover. “Eleanor, look at him! He’s accusing me of things I didn’t do!” Yolanda complained.
Eleanor let out a sigh and squeezed her friend’s arm, then shot Max a knowing glance.
Max clicked his tongue. “Alright, enough already. Let’s wrap this up. If you’re thinking about proposing, do it tomorrow during the day.” He just wanted to go home with his wife and have some time alone. Why make a scene so late at night?
Linden never intended to settle everything tonight. He just wanted to give Frank a heads-up, especially since Yolanda had blocked his number with a vengeance. “Frank, sorry for bothering you tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll bring my parents over to formally propose. But Grandpa, could you please ask Yolanda to unblock me?”
Frank grinned so wide it looked like his cheeks might split. “Yolanda, let Linden out of the doghouse. You two should talk things out.”
Linden was nothing like those spoiled rich boys. He was good-looking, capable, and Frank had watched him grow up. He felt responsible for making sure Yolanda didn’t marry beneath her, since that would only make her unhappy. But if she married into a family too much higher up, he worried she’d be mistreated. Two families, same standing, it just made sense.
What Yolanda didn’t realize was that, in her grandpa’s mind, this wedding was already set in stone.
Eleanor tried to calm her down too. “Talk it over tomorrow. Get some rest, okay?” But Yolanda stubbornly kept Linden blocked. She felt like her world was crashing down. She knew drinking was a bad idea. If she hadn’t run into her stupid ex last night, she wouldn’t have gotten drunk in the first place. In the end, she decided Jordan Gates was to blame for all of this.
