"There's no birthmark on his thigh."
"Well, we can't help it if the birthmark isn't there, isn't it? Furthermore, it is normal for someone to not have a birthmark on their body. I have already told you yesterday but you refused to believe it. You even asked Tiffany about it."
"No, I could feel that something is off. My intuition couldn't be wrong. I'm sure that something is not right about this."
"Enough. I'm going to punish you if you bring up about Fynn again."
Yasmine Taylor was speechless.
The next morning, Yasmine was sent to the airport by Sebastian Simons in person. She took the early flight to F City. After getting off the plane, she saw her uncle and aunt walking towards her from a distance. They were happy when they met. She asked in confusion, "Uncle, how did you know that I came to F City?"
"Sebastian called us. Fie was afraid something would happen to you, so he asked us to pick you up at the airport."
Ah, no wonder. Yasmine thought with a smile. She was touched by Sebastian's thoughtfulness.
"Aunt, are you feeling alright?"
"Mm, I'm feeling pretty great. Ever since I learned that you're pregnant, I've been smiling every day. Yasmine, you've made the dream come true..."
Yasmine held her aunt's arm, knowing that she regretted not bearing a child for her uncle.
They returned home happily. Yasmine called Gabriel in the afternoon. When he learned that she had come to F City, Gabriel Smith was surprised and delighted. They decided to have dinner together.
"Aunt, I'm not going to have dinner at home tonight."
"Are you going out with Gabriel?"
Yasmine nodded.
"Okay, both of you are doing well now. Even though you didn't become lovers, but you could still be friends. It's really rare to see such a thing happen."
"Yes," Yasmine chuckled.
She felt that her fate had begun to reverse ever since she left the Simons family two years ago. First, she met Gabriel, then she got back together with Sebastian, and now she was even pregnant with twins. Gabriel had also become her good friend. Her heart was full, and she was contented with her life.
At 6 p.m, she waited for Gabriel at a famous restaurant in F City. To her surprise, Gabriel was not alone. Fie brought a woman with him.
"Yasmine, I really missed you so much. Come, give me a hug," Gabriel was still his usual flirty self.
Yasmine smiled and scolded him. "No way." She looked at the female companion next to him and asked, "This lady is..."
"Let me introduce her to you," Gabriel pointed to the woman next to him, "This is my girlfriend, Marissa Harrison."
He turned his finger and pointed at Yasmine, "This is my ex-girlfriend, Madeline Lorris."
"What nonsense are you sputtering?" Yasmine patted him grumpily. "Who is your ex-girlfriend?"
She smiled and explained to Marissa, "Don't listen to him. We are just friends."
"It's okay, Miss Lorris. He's always like this. I've gotten used to it."
Marissa grinned, revealing two shallow dimples. Yasmine had a good impression of her. Marissa was a beautiful, lovely, and gentle woman.
"Actually, Gabriel told me about you before. I know that he had pursued you for two years, but you already have someone else in your heart. Hence, he chose to let you go."
Yasmine was a little surprised. She nodded awkwardly, "Well, he did pursue me before, but please don't mind it. He was not serious at that time."
"Who said that I was not serious? I've always been serious, okay?" Gabriel protested discontentedly.
"I don't mind. A man would definitely have a few women whom he liked in the past. I will not interfere with his past as long as his future belongs to me."
Marissa stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Since you haven't seen each other for a long time, please have a good chat."
Staring at her back, Yasmine sighed, "Gabriel, you've met a really good woman." "Of course. If she wasn't good, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to her."
Yasmine glanced at him, "When will you change your narcissistic personality?"
"There's no need to change it. Marissa likes me just the way I am," Gabriel said proudly.
"Hmph, keep telling yourself that. It's not the first time I've seen you acting like this anyway."
Yasmine then changed the topic, "By the way, Gabriel, are you your parents' biological son?"
"What?" Gabriel almost spat out a mouthful of water. "If they weren't my biological parents, was I dropped off from the sky by the storks then?"
"You're 29 years old this year, aren't you?"
"Yeah."
"Do you have any red birthmark of the size of a fingernail on your thigh?"
Gabriel was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly lowered his voice and hooked his finger, "Get closer."
Yasmine leaned over and he said playfully, "Would you like to stay with me tonight? I'll take my pants off and show you."
"You're so annoying!" She glared at him, "I'm serious. Do you have any?"
"To tell you the truth... no."
