Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect

Chapter 118

Xavier noticed the expression on Yonas's face and dared not say anything more. Selena's words promptly brought him to his senses, reminding him of who was standing in front of him.

"Yasmine, I can have Helen apologize to you and even compensate you with money. Just name a price, and I'll do my best to meet you, Xavier offered.

Yasmine looked at Xavier with a cold expression, her tone equally icy. "No need. Please leave."

Xavier's face fell instantly, and both Yvette and Selena also changed their expressions. They hadn't expected Yasmine to be so unyielding.

"Since you're unwilling, we won't force it. But don't beg us later, Selena spat, glaring fiercely at Yasmine.

Once outside, Xavier was annoyed as he recalled the embarrassing scene earlier. "You knew she wouldn't agree to reconcile. Why did you have to ask me here?"

It was Selena who decided to come here. She looked at her son unhappily and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me? I was too anxious after this happened. I thought that since she used to love you so much, if you said something to soften her heart, maybe she would let it go. But who would have thought she had latched onto such a powerful connection? She didn't respect me before, and now it's even impossible for her to take me seriously."

Selena continued to mutter angrily as she walked. "I can't believe she's so lucky, managing to hook up with the Russell family. But I don't think Nathan will really tolerate such a woman." "Mom, what are you planning? Xavier saw the cunning glint in Selena's eyes and felt a sense of foreboding.

"None of your r concern. Just make sure to keep a close watch on Louise's daughter. Since Yasmine and Yonas already know she's missing, I don't believe they will just stand by," Selena said, Yvette walked behind them, her mind filled with thoughts of the way Yonas looked at Yasmine, gentle yet possessive. 'How could anyone not fall for a man like that?" she thought.

After returning home, the moment Xavier entered the bedroom, he threw a cup from the table to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Yvette nervously walked into the room, a chill running down her spine. "Xavier, are you okay?" she asked, her voice tinged with fear.

Xavier's expression softened slightly, and he forced a smile. "I'm fine. I was just thinking about Helen."

Yvette's heart was full of bitterness. Just a moment ago, he hadn't been this emotional. But as soon as Yonas mentioned being Yasmine's boyfriend, everything changed. She had noticed it clearly and could feel Xavier's shift.

He had always been indifferent to everything except for her. But now, there was someone else, Yasmine. She couldn't figure out what had gone wrong to make him change. But just now, she had clearly felt Xavier's anger and frustration, not because of Helen, but because of Yasmine.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Didn't we already capture Louise's daughter? Helen will be fine. We can also ask Grandpa for help. He won't just stand by and let Helen go to jail," Yvette said, though she didn't even believe her own words.

Xavier sat wearily on the edge of the bed. Yvette sat beside him, holding his hand. Her soft voice reached his ears, but all he could think about were Yonas's words and Yasmine's admission.

"Xavier, what's really going on with you?" Yvette finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She was tired of feeling like she was talking to herself whenever she faced Xavier, and she had had enough of the stark difference in how he treated her compared to before.

Xavier finally looked at Yvette. Yes, what was wrong with him? He felt as if he was possessed. He knew he liked Yvette, the woman he had longed for was right there beside him. So what was he still thinking about? He suddenly pulled Yvette into his arms, and the faint scent of gardenias in her hair filled his senses.

Suddenly, a light flooded the room as the door swung open. Yasmine walked in, quietly handing him a cup of coffee. Her hair was still damp, droplets of water clinging to her nightgown, making her look especially alluring. He saw himself coldly take the coffee from her, completely ignoring her.

Yasmine playfully rested her head on his shoulder, intentionally letting him catch a whiff of her scent as she excitedly said, "Smell this! I just bought a new shampoo. Does it smell good?" He pushed her away and said coldly, "Don't bother me, be sensible. Then he left for the study.

Xavier suddenly blurted out, Tm sorry."

Yvette was stunned, thinking he was apologizing to her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice trembling with emotion. "Xavier, I don't blame you. I really love you. Please don't let me down"

Xavier, momentarily lost in thought, held her tightly. "I won't." He took a deep breath, realizing the scent of gardenias was from Yvette.

Only Yonas and Yasmine were left in the ward.

What you said earlier..." She trailed off, unsure how to continue or what stance to take. She couldn't just bluntly ask, "Do you really consider me as your girlfriend? When did we become a couple? How come I didn't know?" She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at those gentle eyes. "Are you shy?" Yonas asked with a light chuckle.

Yasmine immediately glared at him. I'm not shy. You were the one who said those words just now."

"Yes, I did," Yonas replied, picking up an apple and beginning to peel it, his attention seemingly focused entirely on the apple.

Yasmine couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed. "What's wrong with me lately? Why has my personality suddenly changed? Is ir because I'm sick? Why am I always acting like a teenage girl?" she wondered. "Why did you say I'm your girlfriend?" she suddenly asked. Yonas handed her the peeled apple. "Aren't you?" he asked with a light smile, which made Yasmine feel a bit unsettled, unsure if he was serious or joking.

She took the apple in her hand and then placed it on the table beside her. "Don't say that again."

"Why not?" he asked.

"Yonas, I don't like joking about things like this," she said, her face turning serious.

Yonas looked at her in a daze and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You're the third son of the Russell family in Soucrity. There are so many young ladies interested in you. You don't need to waste your time on someone like me. Besides, I don't want to play those games that rich heirs do," she said, staring at the needle marks on the back of her hand, but the real pain was in her heart. She was really afraid that Yonas was only playing with her, just flirting with her for fun and then discarding her when he grew tired of her. Xavier had treated her like that, so

she couldn't bring herself to fully trust anyone again.

Ever since that banquet, Yonas had always been showing up in front of her, but she wasn't confident enough to believe she could attract the attention of someone like him. Yet Chuck said he had been pursuing her for a long time, and Yoselin always hinted that she could be her sister-in-law. Yonas was always there when she needed help, offering his assistance and trusting her unconditionally.

'But I'm just a divorced woman, aren't d' she wondered.
