Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect

Chapter 275

The people around were watching the scene as if it were a show, and some were even betting on how long it would take the drunk to overpower the woman. Just then, Lucy suddenly dashed out, "What are you doing! If you lay another hand on her, I'll call the cops!" "Who doesn't come to a bar to have some fun? I just want her to say something-what's so wrong about that?"

"No means no, now get lost!" Lucy glared at him fiercely.

"What kind of people are you? Can't handle it, then don't come to the bar!" The man cursed as he walked away.

Lucy protected Yasmine, "Yasmine, weren't you just drinking at the bar? How did you suddenly end up here?" She suspiciously looked around but didn't spot anyone suspicious.

Yasmine hadn't fully recovered yet, she simply said, "Went to the restroom." Her mood was already down, and seeing Yonas leave the bar with Irene sent a chilling cold running through her heart.

With deafening music echoing around the bar, she softly asked, "Lucy, can you really forget your troubles by dancing?"

"Give it a try, it can't hurt to try," Lucy replied.

Yasmine dashed straight into the dance floor without a second thought, moving along with everyone around her. The mix of cigarette smoke and alcohol filled the air, creating a subtle, suggestive vibe. Lucy thought Yasmine had finally come to terms with things, so she followed her onto the dance floor. Together, they danced with an alluring charm.

The intense dancing left Yasmine breathless after a short while, but with the music pumping, she felt she could keep going When exhaustion hit every part of her body and every cell, she finally felt really tired, yet she realized she hadn't thought about that thing for nearly an hour.

At the Inkwell Bar, Xavier walked in with a dazed expression. He hadn't been able to sleep a wink last night, all because of thoughts about Yasmine. All night he tried to figure out what he really felt for her. Once, the name burning in his mind was Yvette, but now amidst the glow of red, he saw a green flash with Yasmine's name written there.

It was just a small branch at first, but it kept growing larger and larger, until now he could no longer suppress that thriving sapling bursting with new life. From the empty and quiet streets, he threw himself into the vibrant chaos of the bar, where the loud music forcibly chased away the sadness in his heart.

Amidst the clamor, he made his way to the bar and ordered a cocktail. His eyes drifted to the dance floor, only to catch sight of someone who took his breath away. Why was she here? Why was she dancing? The scene sent his heart racing, and he was tempted to rush over and pull Yasmine out of there.

At this moment, she stripped away all of Xavier's perceptions of her. It turns out that in the so-called three years of marriage, she had been squeezed until nothing but her docility was left. All her own brilliance had been peeled away.

"Yasmine..." he whispered her name softly, wanting to pull her away but lacking the right. All he could do was sit at the bar drinking his cocktail, sitting there blankly watching.

"How's Yasmine? Feeling better?" Lucy danced wildly.

The shifting lights cast a mysterious beauty on Yasmine's face. "Yeah," Yasmine said, feeling tired. "I'll go sit for a while." She walked out of the vibrant dance floor. She didn't feel it in the moment, but now she realized her impulsiveness seemed quite foolish. She didn't even enjoy it but went in just to numb her senses temporarily.

Back at the booth, a glass of water slid over. She looked up and saw it was Xavier.

"Why is it you?" Yasmine frowned slightly.

Xavier probably knew she was irritated with him. "Why can't it be me?"

"You... you saw everything?" Yasmine asked.

"If you're referring to the dance just now, yes, I saw it all," Xavier chuckled softly.

Yasmine pushed the glass of water back to him, "Mr. Flynn, you can drink it yourself."

"Won't you even drink a glass of water from me?"

Yasmine said expressionlessly, "Of course not, what someone sees us and accuses me of trying to drink your water on purpose?"

"That won't happen," Xavier assured.

"No, thank you, Mr. Flynn, I'd prefer to be alone," she said, not wanting to see Xavier, let alone face him.

A hurt look flashed in Xavier's eyes, "Yasmine, do you really dislike me that much?"

Yasmine glanced at him, "You're just realizing? Mr. Flynn, please call me Yasmine."

Xavier retorted defiantly, "Then why can Yonas call you Yasmine, and you still have hope for him? Yasmine, you need to understand that the Russell family is bound to be linked with the White family. The matters of Irene and Yonas were decided by William and Nathan long ago."

"What does that have to do with you? Whether I have hope for him or not is none of your business!" Yasmine replied coldly. But he did have one point right; the Russell family was indeed destined to join with the White family.

Xavier sighed helplessly, "Yonas isn't right for you, forget about him. Even if there's hope, it's best to give up early."

Yasmine sneered, "Xavier, he's not right for me, but you are? Do I really need your advice?"

"Yasmine, I know you're pretty upset with me right now, but I'm genuinely trying to look out for you. Irene is not someone you can easily handle," Xavier said earnestly.

But Yasmine absolutely hated hearing those words. Just because Yonas had said that Irene wouldn't mess with her, she'd been avoiding her ever since. And now Xavier was standing in front of her saying the same thing. She laughed at herself, "Xavier do you think I can just walk away from this showdown with her now? I tried to avoid trouble with her, but she already saw me as a threat and wanted me out of the picture. Do you remember how many times she, your wife, and your sister conspired against me? I've dealt with her tricks before, but I won't compromise. She has to pay for all those things she's done."

Yasmine paused and then continued, "But before anything else, I'm warning you to stay out of my business. Since the day we divorced, we're strangers."

Even though he'd heard such words many times before, hearing them from Yasmine crushed Xavier's heart. "Yasmine, I just want to care for you."

"Xavier, you've got it all wrong, okay? I don't need your concern. Right now, you should be worried about Yvette, who's under house arrest, or Helen, who's stuck in a mental hospital, not me." Yasmine shot him a cold glare. If she had felt any affection towards Xavier before, it was long gone now. His heartless rejection of her in the past made his sudden concern irritating. Was he trying to show how much he cared now?
