Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 727

Emma forced a smile and said nothing, thinking to herself: *Monica really acts like she's Yvonne's real mother. The Joneses are something else. Their own daughter dies, so they find a goddaughter to seduce Bennett. They're really determined to latch onto our family.*

Yvonne, sitting next to Monica, was thinking: *We aren't even married yet, and the elders are already pressuring us about kids.*

“Bennett has already told us that both of you are at crucial points in your careers, so the engagement will be kept private for now. But even though there won't be a wedding ceremony yet, we will not shortchange Yvonne in any way.”

As Frank spoke, he placed a gift list and a black card on the coffee table.

The list detailed all the betrothal gifts the Thompson family had prepared for Yvonne—more than three times what Eden had given the Walker family. The black card held a hundred million dollars.

Both families understood each other's situations. Money was the last thing the Thompsons needed.

Monica picked up the gift list, scanned it quickly, and seemed satisfied.

It wasn't about the value of the gifts; it was about the attitude they represented.

Monica pushed the list and the card toward Yvonne, then looked at Frank and Emma, her smile both proud and humble. “While I’m not Yvonne’s birth mother, I love her as if she were my own. Bruce and I are so happy to see her and Bennett find their way to each other.”

“It was fate that brought these two together,” Frank replied.

Bruce nodded with a smile. Although Emma remained quiet, she didn't spoil the mood.

“Dinner is ready. Let’s take our seats. Frank, it’s been too long since we’ve had a proper drink together. Tonight, no one leaves sober,” Bruce said.

Frank laughed and nodded. “I will certainly keep you company.”

The dinner was a pleasant affair for everyone.

Bruce and Frank drank and talked merrily, and Monica was a lively conversationalist. Emma, though quiet, didn’t cast a pall over the evening. Bennett had been making an effort to placate his mother recently, and while she still wasn’t fond of Yvonne, she had stopped actively opposing the relationship.
