Rebirth 4
Yasmine paused, her expression calm, but she didn't shake hands Yvette's face stiffened slightly.
Xavier spoke up in a deep voice to relieve the tension. Grandpa knows about the divorce and wants you to have dinner tonight. I came to pick you up since your phone was off." "I got it." Yasmine glanced at her phone-it was really off. Tll charge it and head over in a bit. She didn't plan on joining them
Xavier frowned slightly. How about 1 wait..
Yasmine interrupted him with a smile. "No need. I can go by myself"
Seeing him go silent, she glanced at Yvette and added, 'About tomorrow at nine, if you're free, let's go get the divorce certificate"
Is it really that urgent?" For some reason, Xavier felt a s**ke of anxiety.
Yasmine nodded, her face serious. "Yes, it is."
Xavier was caught off guard by her straightforwardness. With a heavy expression, he pulled Yvette away with him.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
As they walked a few steps, Yvette leaned close to Xavier and whispered something, then walked to Yasmine with a soft smile. "Ms. Sanchez, 1 owe you a thanks, though." Yasmine raised an eyebrow, confused. "For what?"
Yvette glanced back at Xavier, standing a bit away, and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her smile sweet.
She began, her voice a mix of nostalgia and reflection. "When Xavier and I were apart, I never thought we'd get back together. I know you care about him. If it weren't for your understanding, we might not have had the chance to reconnect. "You're mistaken" Yasmine met her gaze. Tm getting a divorce, but it's not for you two. I don't have that kind of generosity. I'm divorcing him simply because I don't want to love him anymore, and I won't."
She had spent three years trying to be the perfect Mrs. Flynn and had failed. At that time, she could've been pursuing her dreams or something more fulfilling, but she couldn't make Xavier love her, so why force it?
The moment she decided to divorce, she had let go. She did a lot for Xavier only for him to bring another woman around, yet Yasmine felt no regret.
Yvette stared at Yasmine, stunned.
Yasmine thought for a second and added c**ly, "But how things go between you two is none of my concern."
The dinner was set for 8:30, and Yasmine arrived at her apartment just after 7. Maybe because she had left the Flynn family she felt an unusual lightness in her heart. After a shower and charging her phone, she still had time to spare. For the first time in ages. Yasmine picked a rose-red dress she loved, put in her contact lenses, and did her makeup-things she rarely did while married to Xavier.
When she had just moved into the Flynn residence, she had put on makeup, but Selena had criticized her for being too fathy and not enough of a good wife, Xavier didn't even glance her way.
After dressing up and finishing her makeup, Yasmine called a cab to the Flynn manor.
"Mrs. Flynn, this way please The butler looked surprised at Yasmine's appearance but still led her to the dining room

respectfully.
Hearing him still call her "Mrs. Flynn," Yasmine knew Matthew likely didn't want her to divorce Xavier.
When she walked in, Xavier and Yvette were already there. Matthew had a gloomy expression, not saying a word, making my expression, not saying a word, making the atmosphere incredibly tense. Upon seeing Yasmine, Matthew softened a bit. He smiled gently and greeted her, "Yasmine, it's been a while since you've had dinner with me."
Xavier looked up instinctively. As his gaze landed on Yasmine, something surged inside him.
Without her glasses, her long, slightly upturned eyes sparkled with life. Paired with her rose-red dress, she exuded both allure and confidence. She was nothing like the obedient woman he remembered.
