The two were arguing with each other. Loredana looked at them and smiled. How funny it was.
It was good to be young.
She looked young, but she was much more mentally mature than they.
Loredana bought two sets in this shop and then went to other shops. She ended up buying two or three outfits for both kids.
Loredana asked the driver to send Elaine back to school before she and Jasmine returned to the villa.
Loredana’ baby, Joshua, was awake at the moment, with big round eyes. Jasmine was about to carry him after washing her hands, while Loredana took the clothes into the room and took out her phone to text Boyce, “Come over to the villa for dinner.”
Boyce was watching TV alone at home at the moment. He was indeed quite bored without Jasmine at home.
He picked up his phone when hearing the notification sound, thinking it was Jasmine. But it turned out to be Loredana, and he was a little disappointed. He didn’t want to go out and replied, “I’m not going over.” Soon Loredana’s message came through again, “Jasmine is here. Come or not, it’s up to you.”
After sending this message, Loredana put down her phone and walked out. Jasmine was sitting on the sofa playing with Joshua. When she saw Loredana come out, she said, “I find that he looks just like you.” Loredana said, “Really?”
“Yeah. It’s lucky for a boy to look like his mother and for a girl to look like her father. It seems he’s a lucky one.”
Jasmine heard this from the elders. There was no scientific basis for it, but it was still quite auspicious. After all, the kid either looked like the mother or the father.
Loredana sat down, reaching out to touch her son’s cheek and asked Jasmine, “Are you tired after walking so long today?”
Jasmine shook her head and said she was not tired.
She didn’t feel tired as there was always someone to pour water for her and a sofa to sit on whenever she arrived at a shop. So, she didn’t really walk much.
Loredana asked Coral to prepare more food.
About half an hour later, Cormac came back, followed by Boyce.
After receiving Loredana’s second message, Boyce immediately asked how Jasmine could be at the villa.
Didn’t she go to school? She said she had no time to go back because she had too many classes. And even if she came back, she wouldn’t have time to spend with him. So how could she be at the villa? Loredana didn’t look at her mobile phone and naturally didn’t reply to him. So he put down his phone and immediately rushed over.
When Boyce came, it was Loredana who opened the door. He was just about to ask what was going on?
But Loredana interrupted him first, “Come in. Jasmine is here too.”
She pretended not to know anything.
Jasmine’s movement of drinking water gave a pause, ‘Boyce’s here?’
‘How could he come?’
She panicked instantly.
“Jasmine.” Boyce walked in.
Jasmine lumped in her throat as she looked up, feeling aggravated.
She averted her gaze.
She knew everything in her heart, knowing that Boyce was like this. But… they just had such an intimate behaviour, and he was like disappearing after that, no messages or phone calls to her. He still gave her the cold shoulder when contacting her once after a long time.
She minded in her heart. She had just become a woman and hoped that this man would care for her more.
Loredana didn’t stay in the living room and went upstairs, leaving the space to them.
Boyce sat next to Jasmine and whispered, “Didn’t you say that you have many classes? How come…”
“I have many classes during the day, but not at night. I have to eat. No point of not eating just because of having so many classes.” Jasmine said faintly.
Boyce looked at her and asked belatedly, “Are you mad?”
Jasmine denied, “No.”
Boyce didn’t know what he had done wrong, and it just felt not right.
“Jasmine, tell me if you are unhappy.” It took him so long to say this.
Jasmine held the cup with both hands, “I’m not sad. I’m happy every day. Apart from classes and looking for an internship company, I don’t have the time to be sad.”
Boyce now obviously felt that something was wrong, ‘Jasmine wasn’t like this before. Why was she harsh when she spoke?’
He thought for a moment, “Did I do something wrong?”
Jasmine said, “No.”
Boyce wanted to say something else, but Loredana and Cormac came down from upstairs at that moment, so he stopped talking. No matter what he had with Jasmine, he couldn’t just argue with her right now. It would be a joke.
Cormac took a shower and changed into his casual wear. He looked outstanding, too, in his casual outfits besides wearing his suit.
He asked about Boyce’s work.
The two men just talked about their work. Jasmine got up and walked away to help in the kitchen.
Boyce looked up at her and slowly lowered his eyes.
The door of the room opened at this moment, and Jayden came back with the two kids. Amanda was holding a balloon butterfly, and when she ran over, the butterfly also swayed in her hands as if flapping its wings.
She asked as soon as she came in, “Where’s Jos?”
She wanted to give the balloon to her brother.
Andrew crossed his arms and thought that Joshua was a boy and wouldn’t like such things at all.
Maxina came out of the room and said, “Jos is sleeping. Don’t disturb him.”
Amanda pouted and headed towards Cormac, calling out intimately, “Daddy.”
Cormac carried her on his lap, tucked her hair, which was a bit messy, behind her ear, and asked softly, “What did you do today?”
Then Amanda told him about the places she had visited.
Jayden greeted Boyce and went inside. He was old and a bit tired after spending all day with the children.
Andrew sat straight by the side, watching Amanda sitting in Cormac’s arms.
Boyce patted Andrew, “I find you are getting quieter and quieter.”
