Rebirth 83
"Yonas!" Xavier's eyes narrowed slightly.
He wondered why Yonas appeared at Yasmine's apartment at that time of the evening
Thave something to do with Yasmine But it has nothing to do with you, right?" Yonas said.
He looked at Xavier coldly and added, "Yasmine and Ms. Lynch have already said you're not welcome here. If you have time to waste here, you'd better think about how to help your sister instead. The police involvement was approved by the school board, and it has nothing to do with Yasmine."
Xavier's eyes dimmed. He could sense the closeness between Yasmine and Yonas.
"Mr. Russell, the Flynn family is also part of the school board. I wasn't aware that there had been a school board meeting." Xavier said. He thought, 'Does he really think that he can make all the decisions on behalf of the school board?"
Yonas was noncommittal. But he didn't care about Xavier's words. He just said, "I might have forgotten that you are also on the school board, but the Russell family's shares are the largest, aren't they?"
"Mr. Russell, regardless of everything, Yasmine and I were married for three years. It's none of your business if I come here for her, right?" Xavier said.
Lucy sneered and said, "You're really shameless. You keep talking about your past and three years of marriage, making everyone think you're a lovesick fool who's still hung up on Yasmine. But don't forget, it was you who proposed the divorce. Besides, the reasons behind it are evident. Your sister and your mother mistreated Yasmine even before the divorce, and they never change. Now, you still have the nerve to beg her to release Helen? Don't be too ridiculous!"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
As she spoke, Lucy couldn't help but recall the fact that Yasmine had lived like a nanny for the Flynn family. She poured the water she was holding all over Xavier's head, unable to contain her anger.
Xavier's hand trembled as he looked at Yasmine. He said, "I truly didn't know about what my mother and sister did. I'm
sorry."
"That's enough. Xavier, just leave. Don't waste your time here for your sister. I don't want to see you anymore." Yasmine's voice was cold and she looked gloomy.
Yonas stepped aside, making way. He said, "Didn't you hear?"
Realizing he had no place there, Xavier left. As he reached the elevator, he stopped and glanced back. Yasmine was smiling and greeting Yonas, while Lucy was taking the bags from Yonas. She excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, you even brought lots of delicious food!" In contrast to Yasmine's cold demeanor and Lucy's disdain, Xavier felt like an unwelcome intruder,
But it wasn't how things used to be.
He had never seen such a commanding side of Yasmine before and had thought that she was dull. But she could smile so happily.
At that moment, he recalled how Yasmine had treated him. He remembered the warm hangover soup at night and the oatmeal in the morning. Everything seemed distant now.
Feeling a pang of regret, Xavier got into his car. He had hardly had time to sit steadily when Selena called.
"Xavier, have you talked to Yasmine? What did she say? Will she let your sister out?" Selena asked. Xavier was upset and replied, "Let's talk about it when I get back.

After hanging up the phone, he slapped the steering wheel violently and drove home after he calmed down
Back at the apartment, Lucy spread out all the food Yonas had brought on the table. Looking at the packaging, she couldn't help but exclaim. These are from the Paragon Hotel. Just smelling them makes me want to eat." "Didn't you take Yoselin to the hospital? How come you're back so quickly?" Yasmine asked, surprised to see him back at her
apartment.
"Yoselin has been admitted to the hospital and is asleep. I didn't want you to go hungry, so I asked Chuck to pack this up." Yonas explained.
He hadn't expected Lucy to come as well, and even less that they run into Xavier.
Yasmine looked uncomfortable recalling the awkward encounter. She said, "I'm sorry you had to witness that
Every time she had trouble with the Flynn family, he would be present.
"Originally, I thought the Flynn family was prestigious, but it seems their reputation is not deserved," Yonas said, rarely concerned with such matters. He usually dismissed gossip whenever he saw it.
Having seen many headlines about the entanglements of wealthy families, he never thought he would experience it personally.
Lucy, munching on a chicken leg, said, "You haven't seen anything ridiculous yet. I've really seen through them now."
"Just eat," Yasmine quickly tried to divert her attention.
Yonas smiled, not pressing further. As they settled on the couch, Lucy was having the chicken leg. She abruptly stood up and said, "Well, I just remembered something I need to do. Mr. Russell, I'll leave Yasmine in your hands." She gave Yasmine a meaningful look, trying to convey something. Yonas nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
Care
"You're being ridiculous. Mr. Russell is very busy, Yasmine said, thinking. Besides, I don't need anyone to take of me, especially not Yonas.
"I'm not busy," Yonas's voice was deep and resonant in her ear.
Lucy gave a thoughtful smile before quickly leaving.
Yasmine looked at Yonas with embarrassment. She said, "Lucy is like that. Please don't mind. I can take care of myself. You should go check on Yoselin."
"But I've already promised Ms. Lynch to take care of you," Yonas said with a playful smile.
Yasmine said, "She was just speaking out of turn. Don't take it seriously. Besides, it's just a burn. It's not like I'm missing a limb
"It's almost the same, Yonas said.
Yasmine was speechless.
At the Flynn residence, Xavier had just arrived home when Yvette walked over and said gently. "You're back."
Seeing her weariness, Xavier felt a pang of guilt. He replied, "It was my mistake. I shouldn't have brought your parents to the infirmary today. I made you deal with them."
"It's nothing. You don't need to say that. We're about to get married, and Helen would be my sister too. I'm concerned for her," Yvette said, her gaze dropping to hide her anger,
She thought that it was all Helen's fault. If it weren't for Helen, her parents wouldn't have had a falling out with Yonas.
Lately, she had also noticed Xavier acting strangely, often lost in thought, and sometimes startling when she entered the study. He seemed less attentive to her than before. Xavier asked, "Where's my mother?"
"She is in her room, still crying. It's quite pitiful, Yvette said, feigning concern. She followed Xavier into Selena's room, where Selena was wiping her tears when they came. Xavier said, "Mom, I'm back."
"How did it go? Is she still refusing to budge!" Selena asked.
П
Xavier nodded, his expression grim. He said, "Helen was in the wrong from the start. She shouldn't have provoked Yasmine. Now she's ended up in the police station, losing everything
Hearing that, Selena broke into another fit of crying. She said, "How could this happen? Why did we attract such a troublemaker? I opposed your relationship with her from the beginning. Now she even wants Helen to die. Such a vicious woman will get her comeuppance eventually
