Yasmine’s heart skipped a beat. Even though Morgan didn’t say it outright, she knew he was talking about Yonas. She shook her head and gave a bitter smile, “Morgan, I’ll invite those who should be invited, and those who shouldn’t, won’t be.”
Morgan tried to speak a few times, but no words came out “Do as you see fit.”
Yasmine turned her attention back to the news on TV, but suddenly remembered something about the photo. She couldn’t get any answers from Yoselin, but maybe Morgan knew something. She quickly pulled the photo from her purse and placed it in front of Morgan. “Morgan, look at this photo,”
Morgan curiously took the photo and his pupils shrank sharply. His grip on the photo tightened unconsciously as he tried to play it cool “Yasmine. why did you bring out this photo of you and Yoselin?
“Morgan, can’t you really see it!” Yasmine narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Yasmine, isn’t this just an ordinary photof Morgan handed the picture back to her.
Yasmine shook her head, her expression serious. “Morgan, you’re lying to me. You clearly see that this photo isn’t of me right now. A few days ago, I was bored and went back to the old house, where I found this picture. But Yoselin and I only met a year ago, and I haven’t been back to the old house in a long time. The last time was before I married Xavier. This means this photo must be at least three years old, and I look more lively and younger in this photo. Does this mean we knew each other before!”
Morgan was taken aback and quickly said, “What are you talking about? You didn’t know her before. He lowered his eyes, avoiding Yasmine’s gaze, and continued, “Yasinine, maybe you just don’t remember clearly. Three years ago, we didnt have any interaction with the Russells, so how could

Yasmine kept a close watch on Morgan’s expression. The panic in his eyes didn’t escape her notice. Ever since her cousin had warned her to stay away from Yonas, she had suspected that something must have happened before. Otherwise, why would Yonas and her cousin seem like they’re hiding something? But in her memory, Yoselin and Yonas had never appeared, so what exactly were they concealing? “Cousin, did something happen three years ago?” she asked suddenly.
Morgan felt a chill run through his body, his tone dulling, “No, alright Yasmine, stop overthinking. It’s just a photo. I have some work to do, I’ll head to the study. With that, he grabbed his briefcase and headed upstairs,
Watching his hurried retreat, Yasmine couldn’t shake the feeling that he was fleeing The more he acted like this, the more she doubted, the more she felt something was being kept from her.
The next day, while Yasmine was busy with her thesis, Yonas knocked on the counseling office door again. Yasmine had to switch off her screen and let him in; Yonas had been visiting more and more frequently lately.
“Mr. Russell, based on my previous observations of you, I believe there’s nothing wrong with your psychology, no need for consultation.” Yasmine said with a cold expression.
Yonas sat inconsistently across from her, gently tapping the table with his fingers. “Ms. Sanchez, yet I still feel this intermittent ache i
in my heart.” This is a normal phenomenon after a breakup. I suggest you avoid contact with your ex; the more you see them, the more that pain inside you will increase.” Yasmine wasn’t just speaking to Yonas, but to herself as well,
