Chapter 565: Adopted a Little Girl
After leaving the library, Jasmine Yale thought—
If Chale Cheney had always had feelings for her, she would try to be nicer to Little Chale.
To settle things with Sylvan Cheney.
The person is already gone, further dwelling on the past wouldn’t change anything.
When she arrived downstairs, Ann Nolan called Jasmine Yale.
“Jasmine, about that foreign language teacher I mentioned last time, can I take you to his house? The professor is really nice, both in temperament and character.”
“Would it be too much trouble for him?”
“Not at all, he used to be my teacher as well, and now we are close friends. I have mentioned it to him, and he was very welcoming.”
“That’s great, shall I come over now? Ann, thank you so much.”
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up; I’m off work today.”
Jasmine Yale gave her the address and waited silently with her books for Ann Nolan’s arrival.
It wasn’t long before Ann Nolan arrived.
Ann Nolan drove her car, taking Jasmine Yale to the professor’s house.
On their way there, Jasmine Yale didn’t say much. She noticed that Ann Nolan didn’t seem to know about Sylvan Cheney’s passing yet.
This news was probably tightly wrapped, and not many people knew about it.
Jasmine Yale didn’t dare to bring it up.
“Ann, what’s the professor’s name?” Jasmine Yale asked.
“His name is Theodore Mackenzie, he’s in his fifties now, you can call him Professor Mackenzie. His wife and him are very welcoming, they like girls.”
“Yes, they even adopted a little girl. She’s sixteen years old this year, her name is Xandra Mackenzie, they adopted her from an orphanage.”
“Doesn’t Professor Mackenzie have his own children?”
“He does.” Ann Nolan smiled, “Professor Mackenzie and his wife have a son who is in his twenties. However, they love girls, hence they adopted a girl.”
“Girls are adorable,” Jasmine Yale smiled.
She quite liked girls.
“Yeah.” Ann Nolan agreed, “Their son, Harlow Mackenzie, is really outstanding. You’ll know when you meet him.”
“The Mackenzie family must be very happy, aren’t they?”
“They’re harmonious and complete, with both a son and a daughter. Professor Mackenzie and his wife are relaxed every day, often going to parks and such. If you go there, they will definitely like you.”
Jasmine Yale talked with Ann Nolan on the way.
Her unsettled heart finally seemed to calm down gradually, sinking quietly into the depth of her soul.
However, her eyes were always veiled with an indescribable haziness.
Like the color of a bright moon, faint and gloomy.
Professor Mackenzie’s house was a very exquisite villa, situated in a beautiful sub-urban landscape. The scenery was beautiful, and the design was superb.
The roof was made of brick-red tiles, carrying the charm of a small Western house from the Republic epoch.
After visiting Professor Mackenzie with Ann Nolan, Mrs. Mackenzie insisted that they stay for afternoon tea.
They sat in the small living room, eating pastries baked by Mrs. Mackenzie herself.
A young girl wearing a white sweater came over and called out in a cheerful voice.
“Hello Xandra,” Ann Nolan responded with a smile.
“Is this sister your friend, Sister Ann?” Xandra Mackenzie looked at Jasmine Yale, her big eyes were very beautiful.
Jasmine Yale nodded, “Hello, I am your Sister Ann’s friend, my name is Jasmine Yale.”
“Sister Jasmine.” Xandra Mackenzie politely greeted.
She was still carrying a backpack; it looked like she had just returned from school.
Jasmine Yale looked at Xandra Mackenzie; a beautiful and adorable little girl with black long hair. She was both innocent and simple.
She kind of reminded her of her own sixteen-year-old self.
