CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: I ALREADY HAVE A WIFE

Upon hearing this, Yvonne couldn’t help but feel gloomy, "So what? Caden is already married."

"Sis, have you stopped liking Caden, or are you planning to give up on him?" Yara was confused, not understanding why her sister, who had secretly admired Caden Hawthorne for so long, never dared to confess.

Now, it’s too late—a different woman has already won his heart first.

To make matters worse, that woman is now pregnant with Caden’s child, which makes Yara angry just thinking about it.

Yvonne sighed softly, her eyes showing a complex emotion. "What good does it do to like him? He already has a wife and a family of his own. I don’t want to ruin anyone else’s happiness."

But Yara was unwilling to accept it, "But Sis, you’re so outstanding, you’re much better than that Vivian Lynch. Caden got captivated by her just temporarily. Once he sees her true nature, he’ll recognize your worth."

Yvonne shook her head slightly, "Yara, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s attend the gala without letting these things affect our mood."

The night was dark, and the city lights began to glow.

Vivian and Caden Hawthorne arrived at the charity gala venue in a luxury car.

When they reached the scene of the charity gala, lights were dazzling, and guests crowded like clouds.

Caden was dressed in a finely tailored black suit; his tall figure stood as proud as a pine. The suit perfectly fitted his body, highlighting his broad shoulders and long legs.

A deep blue tie hung around his collar, adding to his steady and elegant demeanor. His hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth forehead and deep eyes.

He exuded a powerful presence that naturally drew attention.

Vivian gracefully clung to his arm as they entered the hall, followed closely by Riley Hawthorne, who was equally striking; quickly, they became the focus of the crowd.

Caden led Vivian through clusters of guests, occasionally greeting acquaintances.

Vivian maintained her elegant smile, showcasing her poised demeanor.

As soon as they walked by, the guests started whispering.

"Who were that charming couple just now?"

"What couple? Didn’t you see another beauty beside them?"

"You didn’t know? That’s the famous prince of The Aethelgard Circle, Caden Hawthorne."

"Ah! It’s Master Hawthorne! No wonder he’s so handsome. Then the woman next to him must be the renowned Mrs. Hawthorne who’s been all over the internet lately!"

"That’s right; she is. They say she’s just a nobody, from the slums, and somehow managed to get Master Hawthorne to marry her and even got pregnant." Someone said sourly.

"Hmph, she must have used some disgraceful means. Besides, she doesn’t look that good; she doesn’t match Master Hawthorne at all." Another woman echoed with a tone of sour grapes.

"Isn’t that lady on Master Hawthorne’s left the one that looks so much like him? Could she be the Hawthorne Family’s eldest daughter, Riley Hawthorne?"

Though the whispers weren’t loud, they still reached Vivian’s ears.

She furrowed her brow slightly, feeling uncomfortable inside.

Caden noticed her change in mood and gently squeezed her hand to comfort her. "Don’t worry, I’m here."

Riley, being straightforward, remarked, "Sister-in-law, ignore them. They’re just jealous of you."

Vivian nodded, trying her best to adjust her feelings and keep her elegant smile.

Caden led Vivian and Riley to a quiet corner for them to rest, while he went off to greet important guests and discuss charity matters.

Vivian and Riley sat on the sofa, appreciating the lively gala.

Riley noticed Vivian’s unhappiness and gently comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don’t take those people’s words to heart. They don’t understand the love between you and my brother."

Vivian smiled, "I know. I won’t get angry over what they say."

Riley sighed, "There are always people out there who like unfounded speculation and envying others. Sister-in-law, just focus on being happy with my brother."

At that moment, someone in the crowd yelled, "Look, the two York Family daughters have arrived."

"Hmph, it’s just for show," seeing the scene, Riley curled her lips with disdain.

Yvonne and Yara elegantly entered the hall, causing a slight stir as several people went up to greet them.

Yvonne smiled in response, her demeanor composed and generous. Yara seemed a bit proud, enjoying the attention from others.

Yvonne scanned the hall with her gaze and, upon seeing Caden Hawthorne shining brightly amidst the crowd, elegantly conversing with acquaintances, exuding a regal air from head to toe.

Yvonne’s heart delighted, and she instinctively moved towards Caden.

While Yara glanced around, finding Vivian and Riley in a corner, her eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph as she quickly headed towards them.

"Caden..."

Upon hearing the call, Caden turned and saw Yvonne approaching him with a smile.

Caden frowned slightly as he looked at Yvonne. "Miss York, is there anything you need?"

Yvonne felt awkward due to Caden’s cold attitude but quickly adjusted her emotions, smiling as she said, "Caden, long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here."

Long time no see? Didn’t they see each other a few days ago at the office?

Well, given her time abroad, they indeed hadn’t met for several years.

Caden replied emotionlessly, "Yes, it is quite coincidental."

After finishing, he nodded slightly to the nearby guests, "Excuse me for a moment."

With that, Caden intended to leave.

Yvonne hurriedly stopped him, "Caden, wait a moment. There’s something I want to tell you."

Caden paused, with a touch of impatience in his eyes. "Miss York, does it have to be said here and now?"

Yvonne bit her lip and gathered her courage to say, "Caden, I know you’re married, but I still want to tell you that I’ve liked you all along. I’ve liked you since long ago."

The guests nearby, upon hearing Yvonne’s sudden confession, couldn’t help but sigh, "Miss York is so devoted to our President Hawthorne!"

"Yes! The heavens haven’t favored us, as President Hawthorne is already married."

Upon hearing their discussion, Caden’s expression turned stern, "Miss York, I appreciate your feelings, but I have a wife now. Please don’t harbor such thoughts in the future."

Yvonne’s eyes showed a flicker of disappointment, yet she unwillingly said, "Caden, won’t you reconsider? I believe we are truly the perfect match."
