Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 285

Mrs. Moore said without holding back.

Mr. Moore’s face darkened, and he instinctively glanced at Bennett beside him.

Bennett was holding a wine bottle, pouring for Mr. Moore and Bruce, his expression shifting slightly.

“Bennett, don’t listen to her nonsense. Yolanda is a wonderful girl. Your parents are hoping you two will get married soon so they can have grandchildren.”

Mr. Moore said to Bennett.

Bennett looked up at his uncle, his gaze calm, but he offered no reply.

Mrs. Moore didn’t say anything else to spoil the mood. Instead, she took Yvonne’s arm and sat down at the dining table.

“I didn’t know we’d have such a special guest today, so I just made some simple home-cooked food. I hope you’ll like it,” Mrs. Moore said to Yvonne.

“I’m allergic to seafood, but I’m not a picky eater otherwise,” Yvonne replied with a smile. It had been a long time since she had tasted Mrs. Moore’s cooking, and she truly missed it.

Mrs. Moore picked up her serving utensils and placed a piece of the braised ribs onto the plate in front of Yvonne.

“Thank you, Mrs. Moore.” Yvonne took a small bite of the rib, eating with great focus.

As Mrs. Moore watched Yvonne eat, her gaze grew increasingly gentle. Though the face was completely unfamiliar, there was something about her that felt incredibly familiar.

In a daze, she was suddenly reminded of the young girl who used to love coming over for meals. She had the same habit of taking small bites, eating so earnestly.

Flora used to always tease, “Mom, look at Vonnie when she eats. Doesn’t she look like a little squirrel?”

“Uncle, eat.”

Mr. Moore lowered his head and ate, saying no more. But Mrs. Moore, sitting beside him, suddenly slammed her utensils down.

“That’s right, the dead are never as important as the living. All you men are the same. At Flora’s funeral, Oscar swore up and down that he’d never remarry, and now look at him, engaged to another woman.

And you, Bennett, with all your dramatic fasting and talk of dying for love, I really thought you were so devoted. But now you’re marrying the eldest daughter of the Walker family for an alliance.

That Yolanda has had two major surgeries. Who knows how long she’ll even live, let alone if she can have children. When she was with Oscar, the Rogers family looked down on her poor health and split them up. If her father hadn’t climbed so high in office these past few years, she wouldn’t even be worthy of shining Mr. Thompson’s shoes!”

Mrs. Moore had been drinking, and the alcohol was making her more and more agitated.

“That’s enough! Shut your mouth!” Mr. Moore couldn’t take it anymore and snapped in anger.
