In the shaky airplane, Roxanne felt a bit tired, so she reclined her seat and lay down to rest. After she lay down, a warm blanket was draped over her. Her eyelids fluttered slightly, but she didn't open her eyes.
Sebastian's large hand rested on her belly, gently patting her as if trying to lull her to sleep. She felt a little annoyed, so she turned over, facing away from Sebastian. His hand landed on her waist instead.
He sighed and shook his head before he continued patting her waist.
Sitting across from them, Jensen, Mason, and Yasmin all saw the little gestures between the two.
Mason said to Jensen, "These two are so strange!"
Sebastian seemed to be trying to please Roxanne, even patting her to help her sleep.
But Roxanne clearly wasn't buying Sebastian's act. She had her back to him, and there was a visible look of impatience on her face.
Jensen teased with a smile, "Let me give you an example. You're very special to Yasmin because she's your muse. But let's say hypothetically that Yasmin lied to you and she's not really your muse but just took her place. When you find out the truth one day, what will you do?"
Mason was speechless.
Yasmin was sitting with them and could clearly hear what Jensen whispered to Mason.
Hypothetically...
Jensen's example was spot on! He should keep his mouth shut from now on!
Jensen chuckled and said, "Based on your personality, if you found out Yasmin tricked you, you'd probably kill her, and she'd die miserably."
Yasmin trembled involuntarily. She instantly regretted pretending to be someone else. It was terrifying!
Mason didn't argue, which proved Jensen's words right.
Yasmin covered her face with the blanket, her body trembling slightly.
