Chapter 504 Playing Nice for Now
Seeing that Wyatt’s expression remained cold. Yunice’s smille slowly fell apart.
Watching her change, Wyatt’s heartbeat began to slow. Did I verdo it? Did she grow up trying to please me ence she realized it didn’t work?
He frowned. All she has to do is lower her head and
Wyatt froze. Something soft pressed against his lips.
Yunice had tiptoed up, stretching her neck to just barely reach him. She gave him a light kiss and then looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. “Okay?”
Feeling awkward, Wyatt shifted where he stood. A few seconds passed before he looked away, then finally turned and left her standing there with a cold, “Whatever.”
Yunice raised her brows slightly. As expected. Wyatt doesn’t respond to force. He only softens when coa red.
Better keep him appeased for now. I’ll deal with the Saunders and Powell family mess first, then I’ll deal with Wyatt.
After all, ever since the day she married him, she’d always planned to leave eventually.
Wyatt was far too controlling. She didn’t want to be some caged bird.
That night, Wyatt didn’t return to their bedroom, and he was nowhere to be seen the next morning either.
After breakfast, Yunice sent him a message reporting her plans, then headed out.
He didn’t respond.
Her first stop was to pick up Gill–she planned to bring her along to the Saunders house.
As Gill got in the car. Yunice noticed someone hiding behind an obstacle in the rearview mirror, watching her
Probably someone Hyatt sent to keep an eye on me.
Pretending not to notice, she drove off and took Gill shopping at a luxury boutique, splurging left and right.

“Open the wallet. Yunice said while driving.
Gill flipped it open and stared, jaw dropping at the neat rows of bank cards. “Did Mr. Wyatt kill someone and you caught him in the act or what?”
“His ex–girlfriend.” Yunice said calmly. “I found out about her.”
“You’re serious?” Gill went quiet, then slowly shut the wallet. Her face darkened. “So it’s true..

“Don’t worry, Yunice said. “She can’t touch me for now. And lont start thinking I’m the one getting th in all this.”
Because really, it was Nora who got the short end of the stick
Seeing Yunice so indifferent, Gill patted her chest, Thank God you don’t have feelings for him. Otherwise, this would basically count as a breakup.”
Yunice gripped the steering wheel. I wouldn’t say I feel nothing. I’m just forcing myself not to care.
But logic only went so far. Her body and subconscious always gave
her away.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at her wallet full of Wyatt’s cards. I can’t pretend I’m not jealous at all,
What Maine said yesterday still echoed in her head–Wyatt taking Nora to see the aurora
That must’ve been so romantic.
Driven by a vague resentment, she had deliberately spent Wyatt’s money today and spoiled Gill with it
If Nora, as the ex, got to enjoy his generosity, then Yunice–his wife–had every right to as well
If they wanted to treat her like an object, a stand–in, then fine. She’d join them in degrading herself
She and Wyatt were legally married. She hadn’t wronged anyone.
ot out of the car.
At the gates of the Saunders estate, Yunice and Gill got
Word of Yunice’s visit had gotten out early. Thanks to Peggy, the whole Saunders family had been dragged out to the front to greet her.
