The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Just Like We Were

+8 Pearls

That one line-“Just like we did back then“-dragged Paul back into a flood of memories with Yunice.

He looked at the pile of gifts in Elsie’s hands and suddenly remembered all those years with Yunice.

It seemed like he had never given her anything.

Back then, he treated Yunice like his live–in mistress, assuming it was only natural for her to follow him around and enjoy everything he had, without needing him to actually spend anything on her.

So even when they broke up, broke off the engagement–there hadn’t been any financial settlement.

Now that he thought about it, he really had owed Yunice a lot over the years.

Owen turned to look at Yunice, He hadn’t expected her to show up and actually help Elsie stand up for herself.

He couldn’t help but think that maybe Yunice’s bark was worse than her bite. Maybe she still stood with the Saunders family deep down.

Otherwise, why would she bother getting involved at all?

Paul looked at the things Elsie was holding and said, “I really do love Elsie, but divorcing Taylor… that’s something I can’t do.”

The moment he said that, Owen nearly rushed forward and punched him. “Then break up with Elsie! And don’t you dare bother her again!”

Paul tried to smooth things over. “Keep the gifts. I’m not the type of man who takes back what I’ve given. You can have them.”

Elsie relaxed, thinking she’d just managed to hold on to her fortune.

But Yunice laughed coldly. “Mr. Paul, so from the beginning, you planned to keep Ms. Elsie as your mistress, didn’t you?”

Paul frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Yunice said, “Only a mistress needs financial compensation. Otherwise, why didn’t you and I ever have money involved. between us back then?”

Hearing that, Elsie snapped, “Yunice! I won’t let you insult my relationship with Paul! You spend Wyatt’s money all the time- does that make you his plaything too?”

Yunice’s eyes sparkled as she smiled. “Do you know the difference between a wife and a mistress? A wife spending her husband’s money–that’s her right. But when a mistress spends a man’s money, the wife has every right to take it back. Got

it?”

Yunice said “mistress” again and again, pushing Elsie to the brink of tears. Owen felt uncomfortable hearing it too and muttered under his breath, “Yunice, watch your words.”

Yunice answered, “She started the comparison.”

Paul interrupted them, “Elsie’s been through a lot with me. All those things, I gave them willingly. Just think of them as compensation.”

Yunice’s smile disappeared. She turned to Paul with a cold stare. “She’s been through a lot with you? And what about me?”

Owen scolded her, “Yunice! You’re already married–why bring up the past? Don’t say things that make people think you haven’t moved on!”
