Recently, I had become very adept at packing up my things quickly. I packed two sets of clothes and went straight to meet Yasmine at the airport. As expected, a tall man was standing beside her, acting like a

sign.

Taking advantage of his height, Leo spotted me and waved his hands at me.

w him. He

Even though I’ve met him several times, I always felt a small sense of discomfort whenever I saw felt like a double–edged sword, and I could never tell if he was a foe or an enemy.

But whenever Yasmine was with him, she would put down that tough shell of hers. She was even leaning gently against him now.

Yasmine looked surprised to see me alone. She quickly took my luggage and handed it to Leo. “Darling. do you know you look so handsome when helping me and Ari with our luggage?”

Yasmine was about to start a conversation with me when Leo suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her feverishly in front of me.

It was too much for my eyes to bear. I lowered my gaze and used my hands to cover my eyes. Then, I said, “Could you two take it easy? We’re out in public now.”

Only then did Leo let Yasmine go. He smiled nonchalantly and asked, “Where’s Nicholas? How could he let you attend your rumored boyfriend’s wedding alone?”

Yasmine nodded. “No wonder you’re my man! You asked exactly what I wanted to ask.”

I sighed in exasperation. “If you two continue acting like this, then we’ll go our separate ways.

“It’s bad enough that I’ll have to look at a lot of public displays of affection later during the wedding, but I’m already disgusted by the public displays of affection before me.”

Yasmine quickly let go of Leo’s arm and walked to my side. “That won’t do. I haven’t seen you in so long. You’re more important than any other man.”

I quirked my eyebrows at Leo, while he shrugged nonchalantly. “Hey, ladies. We’ll be sitting side by side with the tickets Mr. Shelmen booked for us.”

*Just ignore him!” Yasmine said as she pulled me over to the side.

Then, she whispered, ‘Is Nicholas too busy? Does he not have the time to accompany you? Then he might as well jump off a building while he’s at it.”

I was feeling slightly sad as that wasn’t the case. “I didn’t tell him I was planning to attend Pete’s wedding.

“After everything we’ve been through, our relationship has finally reached a point where we don’t interfere in each other’s business.

“I don’t want anything to change because of Pete. If anything were to happen between them, it would be out of my control.”

“What? Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out afterward? You can’t keep such things a secret for long.” Yasmine’s

voice was slightly anxious.

“I’ll deal with that when the time comes. After all, Pete’s about to get married, so I don’t see why he’d care.

But in fact, I wasn’t very confident with what I’d just said.

Yasmine said mysteriously, “From what I’ve heard, Pete’s marriage came so soon because other than his family, Nicholas had also played a big role in it.

“Leo told me that the Shelman family had gained a lot of benefits from Nicholas‘ side. They have gained so much that even Leo is jealous.”

“What’s there for him to be jealous about? Nelson’s been doing quite well either. I’ve witnessed Nelson’s influence within the business industry myself. He’s a very respectable person.”

Yasmine lowered her voice and said, “That may be so, but it won’t be of much help. Leo is just an illegitimate child.

“With such a label, how many people do you think are willing to respect him? It’s been hard on him too.” “Oh, right. Nicholas has given Jones Corporation back to me. So if you want to make any business dealings, you can contact Douglas. We should look out for each other.”

Yasmine nodded.

“I got it. That’s enough about that. I do want to ask, are you really going to let Pete get married just like that? He’s been put in a marriage of convenience without an ounce of love. I feel kind of bad for him.”
