Chapter 274

Just as Yonas finished all his tasks and was driving home, Irene's call came in. His hand paused over the answer button, but he didn't press it right away.

"Yonas, Irene likes you. You should see that. She came back to the country just for you," said William with a hypocritical smile.

"Yonas, what's the deal between you and Ms. Sanchez?" The face was calm and gentle, yet in the eyes lay a cruel and intense coldness.

Behind him, Nathan gave his reminder, "You're responsible for the White family's matters, and if William approaches me, I won't refuse. But how to decide is up to you."

He seemed to hear Yoselin say, "Yonas, you can't give up on Yasmine! Didn't you say you'd marry her and we'll be a family?"

"Stop talking!" Yonas silenced all the voices in his head with a solemn countenance, leaving only the sound of the ringing phone in the empty car.

"Yonas, make sure to eat well," his gentle mother had met her tragic end in her favorite elegant garden.

Yonas's fingers trembled slightly as he answered Irene's call. He suppressed the unavoidable coldness in his voice, "What's up?" His fingers tapped impatiently on the steering wheel. Irene spoke with a sob in her voice, "Yonas, come save me quickly, I'm drunk at the Inkwell Bar."

Before he could respond, Irene hung up. In the rearview mirror, Yonas's face was chiseled, his eyes filled with hate. He stepped on the gas, heading towards the Inkwell Bar.

The bartender placed a Stellar Swirl in front of Yasmine, joining several other drinks on the table that he had mixed earlier. Yet, the lady merely sipped each one and put them down.

"Another one," Yasmine set the glass down. The Stellar Swirl shimmered under the lights, glowing a bright blue. But it felt like something was missing. Was it the aroma of Cabernet Sauvignon, or was it something else?

The bartender didn't refuse; after all, the money wasn't going anywhere.
