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 Although she had been in a withdrawn state recently, she still remembered certain scenes.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?"

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.
