Grady nodded and promptly left.
Xavier returned hand started rummaging through boxes and drawers, searching for something. Selena
looked at him in confusion, "Xavier, what are you looking for?" Xavier gave a wry smile and said, "Oh, nothing,
Mom. I'll find it myself
Selena nodded, "Alright, you look for it yourself. I'm off to find Auntie Wang and the others to play mahjong."
Ever since Yvette was put under surveillance, there was strouble Selena caused initially, but she seemed to
have cto terms with it and stopped getting involved, even finding joy in returning to her old mahjong
games.

In Mrs. Mitchell's house, a few women were already playing malijong. Seeing Selena coming in, Mrs. Mitchell
quickly set up another table, "There you are! We've been waiting for you for a while. Now we have enough for
two tables!"
Once Selena sat down, she realized that across from her was Ivette, the mother of Morgan and aunt to Yasmine.
The intricate relationship between the Flynn and Sarghez families was palpable, making everyone around feel
the tension in the air. Mrs. Mitchell stepped in to ease things, "We're all here to play mahjong, so let's just focus
on the gand leave everything else aside, alright?
Selena glanced at Ivette and nodded. She shared a lineage with this Ivette woman, even if they hadn't interacted
much. She knew Ivette wasn't a simple person, quite the character, really.
Selena's original nwas Selena Mayfield, while Ivette was Ivette Mayfield. They hailed from the slineage,
with a matriarch named Christine still alive, weaving a thin thread of kinship between them.
This mahjong gwasn't going well for her. She really wanted to leave but held herself back. After several
setbacks at the Flynn residence, its current strength was not what it used to be, and many ladies who once had a
good relationship with her now looked down on her. At least Mrs. Mitchell didn't shun her and had invited
hepover to play.
After playing for two hours straight, everyone decided to take a break and catch up on sgossip Selena found
a spot in the corner, wanting to keep her distance from Ivette. But to her surprise, Ivette cover, full of
energy, offering her a drink. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Selena Mayfield, right? We haven't met before, so you
probably don't recognize me."
Selena nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself how easy it is to change pleasantries like these. She had
encountered such conversations plenty of times at family banquets before.
"Since we're all in Soucrity, we should keep in touch more often Ivette said with a smile. "Besides, your son and

Selena found the situation a bit bewildering. "Yes, yes, she replied, going along with it. Truth be told, if it weren't
for Mrs. Mitchell, she wouldn't even bother with Ivette. "Sigh," Ivette let out a deep breath.
Selena asked, "Ivette, what's on your mind?"
"Oh, it's my niece again! She's nothing but trouble," Ivette said, shaking her head. "Mrs. Flynn, I'm sure you've
had your fair share of worries too. Let's not even delve into it. | just can't stand that girl. | mean, she's divorced

time, though, she didn't land her in jail but sent her to a mental hospital instead. My daughter is a lively person,

A gleam appeared in Selena's eyes. "Ivette, our thoughts are perfectly aligned. We're not saying we want to
harm her, just give her a lesson."
"Then Mrs. Flynn, tell me, how should we teach her this lesson?" Ivette asked.
Selena pondered for a moment. "Here's what I'm thinking" She leaned closer to Ivette and whispered a few
words in her ear. The two shared a knowing smile.
Xavier spent nearly three hours searching through his house before he finally found what he was looking for-an
old, dusty, photo album. The first picture was their wedding photo with Yashine. The pure white dress she wore
made her look so pure and holy. Xavier, standing beside her in a matching suit, seemed indifferent, as if he was
not the groom, but just an outsider.
Besides the first picture, the rest were quite similar. Back then, Xavier felt that taking wedding photos was a
complete waste of tand had no intention of posing for them, However, due to Yasmine's insistence, he had
no choice but to oblige and shoot a few sets. Now, as it turns out, the photos he was reluctane to take have
bechis only solace in reminiscing.
He wasn't sure why he dug out the wedding album. Maybe, after being accustomed to Yasmine's cold and distant
demeanor. he longed to see how it was when she loved him. In the photos, Yasmine wore a charming dress,
smiling at the man by her side. Her slightly flushed cheeks and twinkling eyes portrayed the demeanor of a
woman in love.
Such affection was so profound and moving, but why does she no longer feel the same? Can love for someone
really fade away? Xavier couldn't believe that Yasmine had completely fallen out of love with him.
