Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Did He Propose to You?
He knew that he, Joe Heath, could not make her follow him unto death.
However, that man, could.
No matter how much she denies it, lies about it, or refuses to face it, she can’t change the fact that Sylvan Cheney plays a part in her heart.
It’s a mark left from loving someone to the core, engraved like a knife carving, impossible to erase for a lifetime.
Too deep, too heavy, too sinking.
“Jasmine, is this the ring he gave you? Did he propose to you?” Joe Heath lowered his head, just to see the diamond ring on her ring finger.
The diamond ring was too conspicuous; he couldn’t ignore it even if he tried.
Jasmine Yale quickly hid her hand behind her back without denying it.
“If he is really sincere in pursuing you, I wish you both well.” Joe Heath sighed, he had never felt such failure, it was quite disheartening, “If he isn’t sincere, or if he’s just moved by your emotions, don’t forget that I am here, waiting for you.”
“Joe, you are too naive.”
Lately, she found that Joe Heath could be quite naive.
She had clearly rejected him, and yet he persistently refuses to give up.
She thought he was a clever person.
“Jasmine, I’m not naive, I’m willing.”
Never before had all his emotions and desires been stirred up by a single person.
Joe Heath helplessly looked at her, the sunlight falling on his handsome face, gentleness filling the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
“Jasmine, I respect every decision you make. If you end up with my elder brother, I will bless you two. I only ask that you seriously consider not to joke with your own happiness.” Joe Heath’s expression was serious.
“I won’t play with my lifelong happiness.” Jasmine Yale nodded in agreement.
“I think, you know my elder brother’s personality very well. He’s not an emotional person. His hasty proposal to you certainly has a hidden motive. You have a good character, patience with kids, he chose you, you will surely take care of him and Chaley with all your heart. It’s a win-win situation, no flaws.”, Joe Heath was calmly analyzing for her.
At least, that’s what he thought.
Sylvan Cheney was not someone who easily showed his emotions.
“Jasmine, I want to see you truly happy.” No one should bully her.
“I’m aware of everything.” Jasmine Yale’s tone was calm.
She was aware of all these things.
So, when Sylvan Cheney said he was going to pursue her, she thought they should both cool down.
She has no outstanding merits, and even has many faults.
She had confessed to Sylvan Cheney before, and he had rejected her.
Jasmine Yale silently caressed the ring on her left ring finger, staying silent.
Her delicate little face wore a slightly confused expression, seeming somewhat listless.
“Jasmine, don’t force yourself. You and my elder brother really are not from the same world.” Joe Heath tried to persuade her.
“I know, I’ve known since I was eight years old.” Jasmine Yale smiled softly.
From the first time she saw Sylvan Cheney, she knew.
“Jasmine, if you have any difficulties, tell me. Don’t forget that I’m here.”
“Thank you, Joe. Thank you for always being by my side.” She looked at him.
“You still keep your distance.” Joe Heath felt helpless.
She lifted her bag, “I should get back to work, I have many drafts waiting to be processed today! You should go back too!”
“Are you trying to get rid of me?” Joe Heath felt even more helpless, “You go ahead, I’ll watch you get back up.”
Jasmine Yale nodded and waved to him.
When she lifted her hand, the diamond ring on her hand was exceptionally piercing to the eye.
Under the sunlight, it was so harsh that it made one’s eyes ache unbearably.
