Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect

Chapter 158

Nathan gave Irene an approving nod, already seeing her as the future head of the family business, being William's only granddaughter.

Catching Yourlin's fixation on her dessert, Yasmine filled her glass with juice.

Nathan, who hadn't seen Yoselin for a while, made sure to have her favorite dishes served. Politely, he said, "Ms. Sanchez, word is you've been looking after Yoselin, especially during her tough time after the kidnapping. The Russells are in your debt. If there's anything you need, just let

Yonas know

His words were polite, but his tone made Yasmine feel like an outsider

"Nathan, you're too kind" Yasmine replied, her voice neutral.

Irene observed Yasmine for a long moment, her gaze inscrutable. Yet, in her conversation and laughter, she carried an air of the hostess, as if putting on a show for Yasmine

"M. Sanchez, I wanted to invite you to dinner when I saw you at the hospital last time, but you weren't feeling well. Don't be shy this time. Yonas has hired a chef from Paragon Hotel to celebrate Nathan's discharge li's a great opportunity for you to dine there, Irene said with a smile.

Yasmine nodded, recognizing the familiar taste of the blue shrimp in front of her, it had to be Chuck's cooking.

As fate would have it, Chuck himself approached with a dish. "Nathan, this is a new creation I've come up with. You should give it a try. It's exclusive

to you

With a flourish Chuck placed the dish in front of Nathan and lifted the lid, saying. "Take a look.""

The aroma instantly filled the room, drawing inquisitive sniffs from the guests,

Satisfied with the reaction, he glanced at Yonas and Irene, then at Nathan and William

Then Chuck spotted Yasmine, surprised. Wait a minute! She's here, too? he thought. He jerked his head around to look at Yonas and blinked rapidly. Yona didn't respond. Inead, he focused on his meal Chuck was puzzled, wondering. Has Yonas lost his mind! With Irene here, he brought Yasmine along Filled with questions, he took the lid back to the backen

Chuck thought, Things are getting crazy, seriously out of left field. He remembered the buzz around Irene and You realeed it had been ages since he had spotted Yonas and Yasmine as a duo. Chuck had no doubts about Yonas's loyalty, but he was not sure if Yasmine was keeping her cool

Yonas was everywhere. Then he

Throughout the dinner. Yasmine barely touched her food. As it ended, while the Russell family and the White family chatted and laughed, she wanted to leave with Yoselin as quickly as possible.

But Irene stopped her and said. "Ms. Sanchez, could you come over for a moment!

Yasmine felt puzzled as she turned around and saw William looking at Yoselin with concern

"M. Sanchez, since Yoselin has been under your care. Nathan feels a bit embarrassed. I know a psychological expert who's just arrived from abroad and thought he could help Yoselin, But Yourlin only seems to interact with you, so I hope you can stay a bit longer, Irene said.

Nadhan nodded in agreement. "If you feel bored, the flo

As she turned to leave, Yoselin grabbed her hand and said, "Don't go."

Yasmine was taken aback, this was the first time Yoselin had spoken since the kidnapping "Yoselin, you're finally talking." Yasmine said, her voice illed with emotion However, no matter what

Irene came over and gently coased. "Yoselin, your grandfather is waiting for you over there. He's been worried about you. Can you go say hello to him firm?

Ochers also tried to priuade Yoselin, but Yonelin remained unresponsive, shaking her head and holding onto Yasmine's wrDL

Seeing Irene's pleading look, Yasmine slowly pried Yoselin's hand off and said, "Yoselin, I won't leave. I'll come back after you've seen your grandfather, just like when we were at Morgan's place. I'll be back after I take a walk." Surprisingly. Yoselin let go of her hand and followed Irene to the second floor.

Then Yasmine walked alone to the backyard, understanding Nathan's concerns. With the online rumors and Yoselin's worsening condition under her care, anyone would question her abilities, especially the Russell family, who already had a poor impression of her. As the moonlight grew stronger, Yasmine waited in the backyard for Yoselin. Bored, she was surprised when Yonas approached.

Her heart skipped a beat; it had been a long time since they last met alone. She glanced behind Yonas, worried Irene might suddenly appear as she had done before.

Seemingly reading Yasmine's mind, Yonas said, "She's not coming"

Vasmane frowned slightly, wondering if that meant he could only talk to her when Irene wasn't around or if he had to leave if Irene showed up.

"Aren't you going to explain anything?" Yasmine asked, her voice shaky.

Yonas' eyes dimmed, and he suddenly reached out to touch Yasmine.

Yasmine dodged the hand. stepping back. "Tell me

you trust me, Yonas said, gazing into her eyes, his look tender.

"Yasmine, I can't tell you yet. I hope y

But that loving gaze was something she hadn't seen in a long time; it seemed he had become a different person in public.

"What's your relationship p with her?" Yasmine asked, her voice wavering

"Friends, Yonas explained.

"And with me?" Yasmine asked, his voice shaking.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend, Yonas replied.

Yasmine let out a mirthless laugh. "Then I'd rather not be in such a relationship,"

The one he called a friend was the media's golden couple. The one he called his girlfriend was rumored to be a gold-digger who wouldn't let go. and he offered no explanations "Yasmine... Yonas reached out.

Yasmine took a deep breath, her eyes cold when she looked up again. "Mr. Russell, just stop talking to me."

She didn't want to hear him call her Yasmine with such indifference, only to leave her side coldly each time. It was better never to have had it at all.

As she turned to leave, her eyes lost their luster. The sparkle in them dimmed as she walked away in despair.

His warm palm still burned against her skin, but her heart no longer raced. It beat steadily, her emotions calming from the turmoil and settling at rock bottom. Let me

On the second floor of the Russell residence, Yoselin was led by Irene into a room, a coffee lounge where a middle-aged man sat.
