Chapter 640: Chapter 640: They… Had a Fight
Jasmine Yale stood up and took the white porridge from Zaiden Santos’ hand.
The porridge was steaming hot and smelled delicious.
“Ann, have something to eat, you must be hungry.” Jasmine coaxed her.
She was becoming quite adept at caring for others, a skill honed through life with Sylvan Cheney.
Whenever Sylvan wanted supper at night, she would cook.
When Sylvan needed to change clothes, she would help.
Occasionally, she also had to play with Little Chale and send him to school.
In short, it was as if she had somehow incurred a debt towards the Cheney father and son.
“I’ll do it.” Zaiden Santos sat down on the bedside, taking the bowl of porridge from Jasmine.
The imprint of a slap had faded from his face, though it was still slightly swollen.
Ann Nolan had hit him quite hard.
“I’m not eating.” Ann turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Standing aside, Jasmine suddenly felt like she understood the situation.
They…had had a fight.
“I’ll feed you.” Zaiden persisted.
He scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it towards her mouth.
“I said I’m not eating, can’t you stop being so annoying?” Ann suddenly lost her temper, her face darkening.
In front of Jasmine, there was no need for her to pretend to be a loving couple with Zaiden.
Jasmine had met Harper and had witnessed this broken marriage.
Jasmine was taken aback, her heart skipped a beat.
“Maybe it’s better if I do it.” Jasmine reached out towards Zaiden.
Zaiden with a resigned expression, handed the bowl back to Jasmine.
He was not very good at taking care of people.
“Mr. Santos, you can step outside. I’m here, you can rest assured that I will take care of Ann.”
Zaiden nodded his head and walked out wearily.
He was still wearing the same clothes from that morning, his solitary figure expressed a hint of loneliness as he took his leave.
Closing the door behind him, the feeling of being expelled didn’t sit well with him.
Only once Zaiden had left did Jasmine begin to feed Ann.
“Jasmine, let me do it myself.” Ann protested.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it now. I always look after Chaley .”
“Hmm?” Ann was confused for a moment, “Chaley?”
Jasmine nodded, “Yes, Mr. Cheney’s son.”
“Oh, that little guy. I heard Mr. Cheney has a son who is very good and adorable, but I never had a chance to meet him.”
“Yes, he’s absolutely adorable. Let me show you a picture.”
Upon saying this, Jasmine began flipping through her photos.
Upon seeing the picture, Ann had to agree.
Fair skin, big eyes, double eyelids, high nose bridge.
He looked a lot like his father.
“He’s really handsome.” Ann praised.
Since he was Mr. Cheney’s son, of course, he looked this good.
Having chatted with Jasmine, Ann’s mood improved considerably.
She ate up her porridge obediently.
Jasmine carefully asked, “Did you have a fight with Mr. Santos?”
“Yeah.” Ann answered nonchalantly, “I must have made you laugh.”
“Did he make you angry?” Jasmine knew that Ann was generally magnanimous and did not easily take offense. If she had been angered, it must be the other party’s fault.
“I wouldn’t say I’m angry, just some ongoing issues.” Ann responded indifferently.
As long as those issues are not resolved, they would continue to quarrel.
The daily disputes were exhausting her.
The only thing she could do was to help him obtain the Santos Family business from his grandfather as soon as possible.
Once he becomes the official president of the Santos Family, he wouldn’t have to answer to his grandfather and can do as he pleases.
Whether he wants to divorce her or officialize Harper, he can do anything he wants.
At that time, she would no longer be of any use to him.
Zaiden wouldn’t have to pretend it to be so hard, and she could finally be free.
