Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 609

609 /624

"Us? What makes you think we're family?" Bennett scoffed, offering Eden no courtesy. "Your grandma doesn't have much time left, yet you're here on a mountain with your girlfriend watching for meteors. Doesn't seem very filial of you."

"Every time Grandma is hospitalized, I'm the one by her side. She was worried about me and told me to come out and relax. It was a good chance to spend more time with Yolanda, too."

As Eden spoke, he wrapped an arm around Yolanda's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Yolanda was clearly reluctant, her body stiffening as she leaned against him. Her eyes, filled with a sense of grievance, were fixed on Bennett.

But Bennett didn't spare her a single glance, his attention focused entirely on Yvonne.

"Are you cold? I can get you a jacket," he asked.

"A little," Yvonne nodded.

Bennett rose from his chair and turned to go into the tent.

Yvonne remained seated, looking up at the sky, then at Eden and Yolanda. She issued a cool dismissal, "Shouldn't you two be getting back to your own tent? Bennett and I prefer the quiet, so we won't be entertaining guests."

Eden's lips tightened, but he said nothing.

Yolanda's face twisted slightly. "Yvonne, I hope you can stay this smug forever."

"I will. Thanks for the well wishes," Yvonne replied, tilting her chin up at her with a bold smile.

Eden and Yolanda left, fuming.

After they were gone, Bennett emerged from the tent with a thick jacket. He draped it over Yvonne's shoulders and put his arm around her.

"It gets cold at night. Don't catch a chill."

Yvonne pulled the jacket tighter, then rested her cheek on her hand, her patience wearing thin. "When is this meteor shower supposed to happen? I'm getting sleepy."
