Chapter 641: Chapter 641 – Baby and Daddy are Waiting for You
At least, it was not like when they had just gotten married. She was such a fool, thinking that as long as she was good enough, he would come to love her.
She held marriage in the highest regard, while to him, it was just a convenient accessory with utilitarian value.
When she felt better, she would try to placate Grandpa.
Regardless, she was tired of it all.
“Ann, you still have me. You can come to me when you’re upset.” Jasmine Yale comforted her.
This young girl was incredibly adorable, pure, and kind.
“Ann, Mr. Santos bought quite a number of snacks, shall we take a look?” Jasmine Yale gestured to the shopping bags on the table.
Jasmine Yale brought the bags to the bedside.
Indeed, there were many items, a bit of everything.
Beverages, biscuits, beef jerky, preserved fruit… many kinds, a whole bag full.
Ann took a glance but didn’t see much that she liked.
Zaiden Santos had no idea what she really enjoyed eating.
“Ann, you can’t eat too much now, but it’s the thought that counts from Mr. Santos.” Jasmine Yale spoke in defense of Zaiden.
Ann smiled, “Bring it back for Little Chale, kids usually love these.”
“No need, he has plenty of snacks at home. He’s got everything.”
“Jasmine, is Mr. Cheney pursuing you?” Ann teased with a smile.
Jasmine Yale was taken aback, seeming a little uneasy.
“No, he’s not, we’re just quite familiar with each other, mainly because I help look after Chaley.”
“Mr. Cheney is a good man, perhaps you should consider him, but you might have to be a stepmother to the kids.”
“Chaley is not a clingy child, he’s well behaved. Sometimes, I wish I could have a child like him. But the doctors said that it’s highly unlikely for me to get pregnant.” Jasmine’s voice became quieter.
Surprise flickered in Ann’s eyes.
“I’m sorry, Jasmine, I didn’t know.” She didn’t know she had inadvertently brought up Jasmine’s heartache.
The inability to bear a child is a great punishment for a woman.
“It’s fine, really. I don’t plan to have children anyway.” Jasmine smiled.
This initially upset her greatly when she found out.
Later, she accepted it and let go.
It didn’t seem to matter so much now.
Jasmine Yale chatted with Ann Nolan.
It was easier to get along with women, particularly someone as amicable as Ann. Chatting with her was relaxing.
As evening fell, it began to get dark.
Street lights came alight one by one, the curtain of night drew closed, and the city sank into darkness.
The blue tint of the sky gradually disappeared, swallowed by the encroaching darkness.
As they chatted, Zaiden Santos didn’t come in.
“Ann, tomorrow’s Sunday. You should rest in the hospital, remain under observation for a few days, and discharge only when you’re well.” Jasmine reminded.
It wasn’t a big deal, just a fever after all.
No sooner had she said that, Jasmine’s cell phone on the table vibrated.
Upon seeing the caller ID showing Sylvan Cheney, she said
“Have you decided not to come home?”
“I’ll be home soon, very soon.”
“If you don’t come back soon, dinner will get cold.”
“Understood.” Jasmine pouted with a slight grimace.
She instantly appeared like a kid who had done something wrong after getting scolded by Sylvan.
“Jasy, baby, and Daddy are waiting for you to have dinner.” The voice of the young boy came through.
“Oh.” Jasmine quickly covered her phone.
Despite that, the boy’s voice was so loud that Ann heard it anyway.
Ann waved, smiling at Jasper, signaling her to go home.
“Ann, I… I should be leaving now,” Jasper bid her goodbye.
“Alright, take care on your way back. Is Mr. Cheney checking on you?”
