Chapter 188
Yonas let out a bitter laugh. "Why should I quit?"
Yasmine chuckled softly and said no more. She pondered for a moment, then took out the photo from her bag that horrified her. Every time she saw it, she felt a shiver down her spine. She had never doubted her life before, but this photo clearly told her she had forgotten something. something crucial. Not only that, but Morgan and Yonas must know about it.
She placed the photo on the table and slowly slid it toward Yonas, frowning slightly, "Yonas, have you seen this photo before?"
Yonas picked up the photo, and the smile on his face disappeared quickly. His eyes turned eerily cold, "Who gave this to you?"
Yasmine's previously furrowed brow relaxed, her eyes flashing with insight. Without waiting for his answer, she could tell from Yonas's reactions that he definitely knew where this photo came from. She pondered for a moment and said, "Yonas, do you know about this photo?"
Yonas's cold eyes were like icy pools, as he gripped her wrist tightly. Tell me, who gave this to you?"
Yasmine winced at the pain
in her hand and groaned, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Hearing her cry of pain brought Yonas back to his senses. His sharp gaze softened, and he quickly released Yasmine. "Tm sorry. Yasmine."
Yasmine glared at him, her voice filled with frustration as she said, "What's the deal with this photo!"
Yonas's deep black eyes seemed to hold her captive: "Yasmine, can you first tell me who gave you this photo?" His voice was gentle, yet carried an
undeniable command
Yasmine took a deep breath. It seemed clear that unless she told Yonas, he wouldn't say anything. I found it in the old house, but I haven't been back there in years.
Yonas's back tensed, fingers squeezing the photo. He seemed to relax slightly upon hearing her words and spoke slowly. "Perhaps you're misremembering. Yoselin has been undergoing treatment and only returned in the past two years
Yasmine let out a sigh of relief as the tension in her nerves eased. Oh, so that's what it was. Still, she hadn't solved the mystery of the photo yet. Considering how Yonas had kept things from her before, she couldn't fully trust his words. She put the photo back in the drawer and poured herself a cup of coffee. "Mr. Russell, I've asked all I needed to. Do you have anything else you'd like to discuss?
It was obvious she was trying to send him off, and Yonas left with a faint smile,
At the Paragon Hotel, Yonas sat in his usual seat. For once, Chuck wasn't lingering nearby. Instead, he was outside. When he came back, he was holding something in his hand, bubbling with excitement. "Yonas, what gift are you planning to give Ms. Sanchez!" He hesitated, "A gift? What gifi?"
Chuck looked at Yonas in shock, waving the invitation in his hand with enthusiasm. "Ms. Sanchez's birthday party! Didn't you know about it?" Yonas frowned slightly and asked, "When?"
Chuck opened the invitation and said, "In three days. He paused and added, "Yonas, you really didn't get an invitation? Maybe it just hasn't been delivered yet!
Yonas nodded but said nothing more.
Chuck quickly served him the dishes, but after placing the last one, he couldn't help but ask, "Yonas, are you planning to tell Irene?"
Yonas shook his head. "No need in three days, it would be Yasmine's birthday. Why hadn't she told him? She had given Chuck an invitation, but
not him?
After dinner, Yonas returned home to find Yoselin eagerly holding an invitation. She greeted him excitedly. "Yonas, what should I get gift? It seems like she has everything"
Yonas gave a wry simile as he entered his study to handle some affairs, planning to ask Yasmine about the invitation tomorrow.

to Yasmine, and Yvette couldn't believe how Xavier was comforting her. He had promised not to contact Yasmine again, why was he suddenly so attentive as soon as she broke up?
That evening. Xavier left work carly. Instead of heading home, he drove to Aurelith University. Making his way easily to the counseling office, he carried a bag, which seemed to be a special purchase.
He walked into the counseling office, where Yasmine looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her brows slightly knitted.
Xavier placed some desserts on her desk. "Just came to check on you."
Yasmine wasn't convinced that Xavier was there just for a casual visit. She calmly looked at him. "If you have something to say, just say it"
Xavier gave a self-mocking smile. I heard you and Yonas broke up, so I just wanted to see how you were doing."
Concerned about her? Yasmine almost laughed. When did she ever need his concern? "Mr. Flynn, I'm fine without it. If there's nothing else, please leave and take your desserts with you," Yasmine said coldly.
Xavier's eyes dimmed with awkwardness. "Yasmine, even though we're divorced, we're still friends. It's only natural to care. But honestly, I want to advise you-Yonas is not like us. His marriage is destined to be dictated by others, and he can't truly be devoted to you. Now that Irene is back. can see it for yourself."

Yasmine laughed angrily, her expression dark and filled with disdain as she said, "See what? What right do you have to advise me? Is he not the same as me? Did you do any better than him?"
Xavier's face reddened and paled in turn, knowing that Yasmine was mocking him. After all, he hadn't been any different from Yonas back then, maybe even worse. "Yasmine, I'm just concerned about you," Xavier explained.
Yasmine replied impatiently. "Please leave, I don't need your concern."
Seeing how much she resented his presence, Xavier felt a pang of hurt. He turned to leave, only to be called back. "Take your dessert with you!" Xavier's body trembled slightly as he nodded, taking the dessert with him as he left the consultation room.
Yasmine wearily pinched the bridge of her nose. Xavier really was like a haunting spirit. Just as she w again, and to her mild surprise, it was Yvette who walked in. Yvette sat down naturally, glanced around at Yasmine's workspace, and spoke in a calm was about to catch her breath, the door opened tone. "Surprised?"
