Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 

It was an anonymous message, so Yonas had no idea who sent the photo or with what intentions. 

Nonetheless, it completely unsettled him. He had never felt so flustered over anything before. Though he didn’t show it, his mind was in turmoil, 

He dialed the number, and after two rings, the call was answered by someone laughing. “Hello? Yasmine is currently unavailable. She and my brother are hugging… Sorry. I’ve said too much. Call back later, okay!” 

Helen hung up the phone with a beaming smile. Then she deleted the call record and returned the phone to its original place. 

Everything had been so quiet, as if nothing had happened. 

Helen glanced at Yasmine and Xavier, who were still handling the mangoes. 

Yasmine felt the strong scent of the mango skin seep into her skin as she peeled them. After discarding the skin, the flesh emitted an even more delightful aroma. 

For some reason, it reminded her of the subtle cedarwood scent that Yonas exuded. Whether it was that day at the Paragon Hotel or later when he carried her, that scent always made her heart race. But at this moment, she was completely unaware of it 

After two quick games of Go with Matthew, Yasmine left. She really didn’t want to see Helen’s face or Xavier. 

In the days that followed, Yasmine didn’t see Yonas at all. He had always been by her side, and she had grown accustomed to his presence, so his sudden absence made her feel unsettled. 

During this time, Yoselin was staying at Yasmine’s place. Although her condition had stabilized, Yasmine was still concerned about letting her live alone. 

After school, they returned home, and before long, Yoselin stepped out and returned with a lot of food. Yasmine was puzzled and asked, “Did you buy these?” 

“No. Yonas sent them over, Yoselin answered obediently. 

“Why didn’t he bring them himself?” Yasmine asked, lowering her gaze, 

“He didn’t say, but he told me not to tell you, Yoselin said. She walked in and opened the bag. Inside were not only dishes from the Paragon Hotel but also custard tarts and desserts from Dessert Oasis 

Yasmine picked up a custard tart topped with bits of mango. The sweet, creamy aroma filled the air, but she found it tasteless. 

She thought. It’s strange. Why does Yonas suddenly seem like a different person? Although I keep telling myself to acknowledge the gap between us. I’ve never been able to control my feelings for him. Maybe I was too confident before, mistakenly thinking that he might have some feelings for me. But now I realize that, all along, my relationship with Yonas has been one where he can come and go as he pleases. But I know nothing about him 

She put down the half–eaten custard tart and walked into her room. The mirror on her dressing table reflected a face with a sad smile. Her wrist still bore that Cartier bracelet. The rose gold hue no longer seemed as warm, but the diamonds remained as dazzling as ever. 

She removed the bracelet and placed it back in the drawer. She thought, ‘Since it doesn’t really belong to me, I shouldn’t wear it! 

Even though Yoselin had not yet fully recovered, her sensitivity allowed her to sense the unhappiness in the air. Her brother and Yasmine were the two people she cared about most 

The next day, after school, Yoselin held Yasmine’s hand tightly and pleaded, “Yasmine, Yonas is picking me up today. Let’s go 

‘s go home together, okay?” 

Yasmine hesitated for a moment and then gently replied, “Yoselin, you should go ahead. I can make my way back. I shouldn’t always trouble your brother. 

“Yasmine, we’re close friends, aren’t we? And besides, I’ve been a bit of a bother, staying at your place for the past few days.” Yoselin said, affectionately holding onto Yasmine’s arm 

In the end, Yasmine gave in, grabbed her bag, and followed Yoselin out of the school gate, 

When she saw Yonas, she merely nodded slightly in greeting. 

Even though it had only been a few days since they last saw each other, they felt awkward and distant, as if they hadn’t been in touch for several years. This time, Yaunine ut in the back seat with Yoselin. 

12:54 PM 

Chapter 96 

“Yasinine, I’m taking Yoselin back to my grandfather’s place, so III drop you off first, okay?” Yonas said, his voice tinged with a bit of coldness 

Before Yasmine could respond. Yoselin hurriedly said, “No! Yonas, take me back first and then take Yasmine home.” 

You didn’t argue and took Yoselin to their grandfather’s place first. 

In the car, neither Yasmine nor Yonas spoke. The atmosphere was thick with an unexpected awkwardness–something they could never have anticipated just a few days ago. 

Yonas opened his mouth a few times, but then closed it again, holding back the words he wanted to say. In the end, he still couldn’t bring himself to 

When the car stopped at her apartment building. Yasmine got out and simply said, “Thank you.” 

As Yorus watched her leave, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. 

He called Chuck, who answered the phone quickly. 

s time.” said Chuck 

“Hey! How come you have time to call me! Just tell me what you want to eat this ti 

“I need to ask you something.” Yonas said seriously. 

Chuck detected the sadness in his tone and also became serious. “Go ahead” 

“I have a friend. She’s divorced, but she still keeps in touch with her ex–husband, and they seem to get along well. What do you think,” said Jonas. 

“You’re talking about Ms. Sanchez, aren’t you?” Chuck immediately guessed. 

Yonas was silent for a moment, unsure of how to respond. 

Chuck continued, “My advice is, whatever it is, ask her directly. You’re the mighty Yonas Russell! And perhaps there is some misunderstanding. It’s best to just ask her.” 

“I understand,” said Yonas. After hanging up, he pulled down the rearview mirror and smiled wryly at himself. 

He thought, I have indeed lost my head. I know how much Yasmine detests Xavier. How could she possibly engage in a lighthearted conversation 

with him! 

He unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door, only to see Yasmine standing there, looking at him. They were both taken aback for a moment and then smiled at each other 

“You… you didn’t leave!” Yasmine’s eyes darted away. 

She wore a long dress wish her hair pinned up in a bun. The dress fluttered in the breeze, adding a touch of gentleness to her as she stood under the streetlight.
