Chapter 292 Silent Understanding
He felt drained.
Yunice glanced at him and offered, “Why don’t you lie down on my lap? I’ll give you a massage.”
Wyatt’s fingers paused. He opened his eyes.
Then he actually did it.
His head was heavy–and Yunice was pretty slim. The weight sank straight into her, and she flinched.
She adjusted him so he’d be more comfortable, and Wyatt had to awkwardly tuck his legs into the
corner.
As her hands gently massaged the top of his head, Yunice said, “Thanks for getting everyone together.”
No need to explain. When you’re dealing with someone sharp, just a hint is enough.
Wyatt knew exactly who she meant.
And Yunice knew–he wouldn’t have brought that group together unless he’d taken the time to look into her situation.
Sure enough, Wyatt didn’t answer. He kept his eyes closed, silent.
But a moment later, he reached up and wrapped her hand in his.
His hand slid into hers, their fingers lacing together.
Yunice tensed for a second, caught off guard, as Wyatt gently brought her hand down and placed it against his chest.
Then he stopped moving.
She could feel his heartbeat–steady, strong–along with the warmth of his skin and the slight texture beneath it. The rhythm pulsed steadily against her palm.
This feels… too intimate.
Wyatt was definitely still awake..
Yunice didn’t pull her hand away. Instead, she changed the subject. “Victor’s parents died taking the fall for some rich guy. He spent two years in an orphanage before Mr. Carl adopted him. I think he’s still carrying that trauma… that’s probably why he misunderstands you.”
Wyatt opened his eyes and looked at her.

She knew Wyatt. He never let grudges slide. If someone crossed him be thways settled the score.
That’s what worried her. She could already tell he and Victor didn’t click
When Victor was little, he followed his mom around, trying everything they could to clear his
dad’s name.
But it hadn’t made a difference.
So in his mind, someone like Wyatt–ruthless and calculating–was no diferent from the man who ruined his family.
Wyatt stared at Yunice, his expression unreadable.
Seeing the hint of pleading in her face, he gave an annoyed grunt of acknowledgmen
Wyatt let him off the hook for one reason–Yunice. And maybe a little for Will’s sake too. Victor should consider himself lucky to have that connection.
Morgan finally woke up after two days in a coma.
