When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Chapter 1541 It Is Over Now
Before Yannick could react, another voice rang in his cars.
It was Jocelyn. “The son of the Hayes family?”

During the heated debate between Yannick and Nathaniel earlier, Jocelyn had taken the opportunity to look up Yannick’s name. To her surprise, she discovered that he was actually a wealthy heir.
Yannick finally realized his impulsiveness. In his eagerness to confront Cecilia, he had entirely forgotten about his own disguised identity.
Jocelyn was particularly downcast.
With a bitter smile, she said, “I never thought I’d have the chance to be set up with the son of the Hayes family.”
Yannick hung his head low, much like a child who had done nething wrong, unsure how to explain himself.
Oh, forget it. It was all just for fun. I’ll just keep quiet.
Without uttering another word, Jocelyn turned around to pay the bill and walked away from Yannick’s
sight.
Yannick didn’t care whether Jocelyn stayed or left. But for some reason, he felt suffocated. He struggled to catch his breath.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from his grandmother, Sofia Mercado.
“How are things going with Jocelyn? If it’s going well, perhaps you should come back and finalize your marriage, and then maybe you could get married by the end of the year.”
It was commonplace to meet someone for a month or two before deciding to get married back in Yannick’s hometown.
Yannick was uncertain whether to reveal the truth or not. “Grandma, there’s no hurry. Things aren’t settled yet.”
After he spoke, he felt a pang of regret. He should have told his grandmother that there was no chance for them, yet he had just brushed it off.
Sofia nodded. “All right, then you must try your best to win Jocelyn’s heart. I have consulted a renowned fortune teller, and it turns out that Jocelyn is an excellent match for you. She could even elevate the Hayes family’s status.”
“All right, all right, you should really avoid these things in the future.”
Yannick hung up the phone, clearly annoyed.
When he stepped out, he had hoped to bump into Jocelyn, but there was no sign of her anywhere.

He sent a message to Jocelyn I’m sorry. I really wanted to meet someone. I only hid my identity because I’ve encountered too many devious people in the past.
Jocelyn had already settled into the car for her ride back when she saw the message. She immediately deleted the message without responding.
She had finally invested herself fully into a blind date, being completely honest with the other person. However, he remained constantly on guard against her. It made the whole experience feel pointless.
She had her eyes closed, intending to take a brief nap, when she heard her phone ringing again.
Jocelyn assumed it was Yannick who was calling. But when she picked up her phone, she saw that it was actually Nicholas.
She stared at Nicholas‘ phone number for a long time, he call.
“Mr. Nicholas.”
“Jocelyn, how was your date today?” Nicholas asked casually.

Jocelyn fell silent for a moment before responding, “He’s the son of the Hayes family. I hadn’t investigated him before. Now that I think about it, he probably agreed to the blind date with me because of my connection with you. But it’s over now.”
She was no fool. She knew her own worth.
She hadn’t investigated before because her grandmother had told her that he was her best friend’s grandson.
Nicholas had intended to reveal Yannick’s identity to her this time, but unexpectedly, she had already found out on her own.
A moment later, he said in a gentle tone, “Don’t be upset. If this doesn’t work out, I’ll help you find sqmeone next time.”
Jocelyn felt as though a thorn was lodged in her throat, causing an excruciating, heart–wrenching pain.
She wasn’t sure if Nicholas was genuinely clueless, or just pretending to be. It wasn’t all just for that meager paycheck that she started caring for him in the hospital
