316 GAEL AND LISE'S DAUGHTER

Jasmine just figured out this fact recently, and this became one of the reasons she chose to spend her time in this place more often, where she could have more alone time with Darius, instead of breaking a lot of things inside her room.

"Why don't I need to know? Something big happened?" Jasmine looked at Darius intently, but the man decided to read his book instead.

Annoyed, Jasmine stood up and then walked toward him, as she sat down on the chair next to him.

"You can tell me, you know… I can't do anything about it after all." Jasmine then snatched the book from his hands and hid it behind her back to get his attention. "Talk to me. I want you to talk to me."

Darius growled deeply, his eyes piercing through hers. "I don't want to talk to you."

"Give me a reason that I can accept."

"I don't need a reason."

Jasmine looked down and bit her lips, she looked sad when she returned the book to him, she didn't even look him in the eyes.
