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.

"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

The rose gold hue no longer seemed as warm, but the diamonds remained as dazzling as ever. She removed the bracelet and placed
