Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 208

The top floor's treasure racks were far superior to those downstairs. These antiques required meticulous care as they were all genuine treasures and could be easily damaged if not handled properly. Unlike the downstairs collection, this floor displayed authentic antiques with glass covers labeled with their names and history. Yasmine and Yonas spent half the day at the top floor, finally deciding to buy an antique. Once outside, Yasmine looked at him with surprise for a long moment, "Why are you helping me?"

"It's not just about helping the Sanchez family, it's also in my own interest," Yonas replied, his gaze deep and solemn.

Yasmine decided not to ask further, perhaps it had to do with interests. Although the White family and the Russell family have been family friends for generations, Yonas naturally wouldn't want to see the White family surpass them. After dropping Yasmine off at home, Yonas headed back to his own residence. Chucks spent the entire day at Paragon Hotel feeling restless, his mind repeatedly picturing Lucy. Even though he couldn't remember what exactly happened that night at his place, he clearly recalled Lucy's slightly tipsy yet captivating appearance.

more than that. He took the soup and left. Chuck slumped into the seat, all energy drained from him. His mind had been wandering all day, maybe he was just too bored. After meeting Lucy, he couldn't stop thinking about her; this feeling was new to him. In all those years, he had never thought about someone so much that she occupied every corner of his mind.

Late at night, Chuck found himself at the bar once more, drinking away his thoughts. His friends were bouncing in the dance floor, flashing neon lights twisting everywhere. After a few drinks, Chuck was already starting to feel dizzy. "Chuck, it's no fun drinking here alone. Why not join us for a dance?" his friends called out.

Chuck poured himself another drink, "Nah, you guys go ahead." Soon enough, he was slumped over, drunk, in his seat, mumbling Lucy's name. His friends, seeing him like this,
