Nicholas had never noticed Jasmine’s posts. The ones on hot milk and beef stew–it turned out Quinn had seen them all.
He continued browsing through her account. He then saw that Jasmine had sent Quinn a message using her alternative account, asking her to look out of the window,
Nicholas tried to recall what he was doing downstairs then. Upon recalling his memory, he clutched his head in pain before slamming it against the table.
He was kissing Jasmine when Quinn looked down.
No wonder she would suddenly collapse, looking beyond pale that day. She must have been agitated watching that scene, causing her heart to act up.
Nicholas clutched his chest painfully. It was as if he was feeling the pain Quinn had felt then, but everything was too late now.

all, the one you truly loved was only Jasmine,” Stella said scornfully, looking at him with a mocking smile.
“I know I was wrong–it’s my fault that I let Quinn down. Can you please tell me where she is now?” Nicholas, the once–proud heir of the York family who never lowered himself for anyone, was now utterly humbled
