She confessed her feelings to him, he rejected her; she climbed into his bed, he walked away without saying anything, and stayed away for three years; she was pregnant with his child, and he insisted on aborting it without a second thought.
This man, he has no heart whatsoever.
Joe Heath held a cigarette in one hand and the steering wheel in the other. Smoke was swirling around; the car was filled with the smell of cigarettes. Jasmine Yale kept her eyes shut, head dropped, her face sallow-looking. “Jasmine, don’t be , you seem as if you’ve lost your soul,” Joe Heath taunted, “If you like kids, we can have one too.”
“…” A twitching smile appeared on Joe Heath’s face, “Not to criticize you or anything, but even though Yolanda is not the mother of that bastard, she is destined to marry my big brother. You, why do you have to interfere? They are living their lives without any issues, and for no reason, you’re the one who’s upset.”
“Who said I was upset?” Jasmine Yale suddenly opened her eyes, looking at him angrily.
You keep saying that, but do you even believe it yourself?
Jasmine Yale once more lost her energy, her tone faint, “You’re right, I was just wishful thinking.”
“I told you ages ago, raising a son for someone else will only end up hurting you. Come on, it’s alright, try to smile.”
Joe Heath attempted to cheer her up.
Seeing her made him uncomfortable too.
“They are all… quite well…” Jasmine Yale mumbled.
Her mind began to wander back to the scene she had just witnessed.
Sylvan and Yolanda had always been childhood sweethearts, and now they were finally together, which was great.
Just like they say, all’s well that ends well.
In the past, she had acted shamelessly and upset Sylvan, causing him to leave Landon for three years.
If it weren’t for that, perhaps things would be harmonious between them now. Her heart was in turmoil.
“Jasmine, I’ve known my brother and Yolanda for a very long time now.
Yolanda being a mother to Chale Cheney, is nothing you need to worry about, she is very patient and incredibly gentle.”
“Why should I worry, Chale Cheney… what does he have to do with me…” Jasmine Yale spoke weakly, a vacant look in her eyes.
“It’s better if you think so,” Joe said calmly, “You can’t imagine the things my brother has done for Yolanda. Although he is a shrewd person and puts his interests first, he definitely has feelings for Yolanda.”
Jasmine Yale’s gaze became even more vacant…
“After so many years, there must be feelings, even if it’s just towards a dog,” her tone was dull and cold.
“Hmm? Are you referring to yourself? Hmm… It’s possible that my brother simply kept you around to alleviate his boredom,” Joe hardly spared her feelings, adding, “After all, you do seem rather interesting.”
Joe Heath successfully provoked her.
That’s what pets are for – to amuse their owners.
She was reluctant to face this reality, but it was perfectly clear to her… she was nothing more than a pet.
Growing up at the Cheney Residence, many of the servants gossiped about her behind her back.
They used to say that she was unfortunate but lucky to have been taken in by Mr. Cheney.
Thus she never dared to act overly spoiled with Sylvan, she did not even dare to act affectionately with him.
She was afraid she would make him unhappy and that he would not want her anymore.
Yet, three years ago, he still didn’t want her.
The mistakes were her own, and she would have to bear the consequences alone.
“Come on, don’t be mad, alright?” Joe Heath tried to comfort her, “You know it hurts me to see you upset.”
He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair off her face, his expression full of affection.
From the moment he first saw her, he was smitten.
He was so taken with her, he wanted to keep her by his side forever..
