Chapter 60

Everyone knows that the grand banquet's host is the Russell family, and naturally, the main character is too.

At the west side of the hall, by the floor-to-ceiling window, several golden candelabras flickered with soft light. Yasmine stood there holding a lass of champagne, and Yonas was right beside her. He took a glass of wine from a passing server and handed it to Yasmine. "Why not give this a try? You'll love it."

"Don't mind it, Yasmine." His voice was pleasant, especially with that affectionate tone that added a hint of indulgence.

"How did you find me in the garden?" Yasmine wondered aloud, curious. He should have been busy talking with Nathan at that time, and she'd only been taken to the garden a short while ago.

All the women at the banquet were either in dazzling dresses or elegant gowns, but no one had the refreshing elegance like yours. With just one glance, I knew you weren't in the banquet hall."
