Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect

C Chapter 167

Yonas cut a small piece of steak and put it on his plate. Then he heard her ask, "Yonas, what's going on in your mind? Don't you like Yasmine a lot? Then why do you spend so much time with Irene every day?" Although she had been in a withdrawn state recently, she still remembered certain scenes. Y**s's pupils contracted. "Yoselin, did you recognize who he is? Let's show Grandpa later. Grandpa is really worried about you." Yoselin yelled in frustration, "Yonas, did you hear me?"

"Yoselin, grown-up matters aren't for you to understand," Yonas said seriously.

Yoselin didn't quite agree. She sat down and said to Chuck, "You go and take care of your things first." Once it was just the two of them, she asked, "Yonas, did Yasmine do something wrong?" "She didn't do anything."

"Then why are you breaking up with her?" she questioned.

Yonas shook his head, denying it. "I never said we were breaking up. I'm not going to break up with her."

Yoselin was taken aback and asked again, "Then why buy colored diamonds for other women? And why are you so close to Irene? Aren't you worried Yasmine might get jealous?"

Yasmine."

Yonas' eyes turned a bit dim. "Yoselin, don't think too much about it for now. The time isn't right yet. I won't break with

up

Yoselin looked at her brother, the once-enthusiastic man now staring back at her with exhaustion written all over his face. She suddenly felt maybe her brother had his own struggles. But what could those be? She hated seeing Yasmine like this, with hollow eyes and the clear signs of unhappiness. "But Yonas, Yasmine isn't happy at all." "I know," Yonas said as he put down the knife and fork.

Yoselin was even more confused now. Why should emotions be all about timing?

The day after Yoselin woke up, Yasmine received an email from the Dekker Competition. Her last defense had won first place, allowing her to advance.

Carter was the first to hear about it. He quickly sent three congratulatory messages to Aurelith University's faculty group. Winston was also delighted. Their school had never had a person progress in the Dekker Competition, and Yasmine had brought them immense honor. After advancing, the next round of the competition required her to go abroad. She would have to undergo a month-long closed project start-up and thesis writing. This would be a grand event in the psychology circle, and she would meet many famous psychologists there, competing on the same stage.

Luckily, Yoselin's condition has stabilized now. Although the shadows from before haven't completely faded, she shouldn't face any problems in the short term.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Lately, she hasn't been in a good mood, so she decided to take this chance to relax in a different environment. At least she's away from Soucrity and... also away from Yonas.

Morgan was very supportive when he heard the news and even asked a friend to take care of her.

Before she could finalize her plans, a letter from Dekker arrived from across the ocean. It contained her entry confirmation for the Dekker Competition and a plane ticket. There's no need for Yasmine to make any arrangements, as the Dekker staff had already booked her flight and hotel. All she had to do was pack her bags a sand go.

The day before her departure, she paid a visit to the Paragon Hotel. When she booked a chef, she realized just how in demand Chuck was. Only Yonas could persuade him to turn down other clients.

After casually choosing a chef, the server brought her a menu showcasing the chef's specialties. She randomly selected a few dishes and glanced toward a table in the corner, separated by a divider from the main hall. That was the spot Yonas habitually sat in whenever he dined there, and the Paragon Hotel would always reserve it for him. Now, the seat was vacant, but he still hadn't arrived.

Half of the dishes had already been served when Yonas arrived. The waiter didn't ask too many unnecessary questions; Chuck was the cook, and he knew Yonas' favorite dishes well.

Yasmine glanced at the person but couldn't ignore the presence of someone else. Irene sat down with Yonas, and the two seemed to be having a great time laughing together. It was hard for Yasmine to stomach. She picked up a piece of fish, its flavor completely lost on

As Chuck came out holding the dishes, he saw Yonas with Irene, quickly scanning the surroundings, his eyes narrowing. "Hey, Yonas, the food's really great," he remarked sarcastically. Irene covered her mouth, giggling. "Chuck, you seem a bit off today."

"It's nothing, just a sore throat," he explained, quickly placing the dish in front of Irene. "Ms. White, try this out."

The moment Irene lowered her head, he glanced at Yonas again. He thought, He gave an exaggerated wink in Yasmine's direction.

Yasmine didn't expect him to suddenly turn around. The Paragon Hotel lobby was bustling with guests, yet the noise seemed to mute as those gentle eyes of his reflected curiosity. Just a single glance from him was enough to bring tears to her eyes, and she hastily lowered her head, taking mouthfuls of food to distract herself.

"Yonas? Yonas!" Irene nudged Yonas, bringing him back to reality. He hadn't expected come on purpose.

Irene also noticed Yasmine. "Yonas, what a coincidence to see Ms. Sanchez today. Why not invite her to join us for a meal?" "She's already ordered her meal. Let's not disturb her," Yonas replied in a deep voice. "Yoselin's recovery is largely thanks to Ms. Sanchez. It'd be normal to treat her to a meal, right? Or is it that Yonas doesn't like her? Why do you keep stopping me?" Irene asked thoughtfully. Yonas pursed his lips. "No, that's not it."

"So, you do like her? Yonas likes her?" Irene smiled faintly, loud. as if discussing something trivial, yet her eyes hinted at deeper currents.

Yonas gripped his knife and fork tightly, his eyes deep and thoughtful. His lips parted slightly as he said, "I don't like her, but I don't dislike her either. He felt his heart **p a beat. Did he not like Yasinine? How could that be? Irene laughed out loud, "In that case, we should definitely call her over Before Yonas could speak, she was already heading

Yasmine unsure of the situation, nodded slightly.

Irene pointed in Yonas' direction and said, "Why don't you join us for dinner? We've been meaning to invite you, but never had the chance. This is perfect. The most famous chef at Paragon Hotel, Chuck, happens to be our chef tonight." "No, thank you." Yasmine instinctively declined.

"Ms. Sanchez, it's all thanks to you for helping Yoselin. Yonas wants to thank you in person. Surely, you won't turn down the opportunity Irene insisted, her determination clear in her eyes, making it evident she was set on having Yasmine join them Yasmine glanced at Yonas, thinking perhaps Irene had his approval to invite her. "I suppose I shouldn't refuse," she said, standing up to follow Irene.

At the dimer table. Yonas and Irene sat across from each other while Yasmine took a seat beside Irene.
