Josh hugged her tightly and then let her go. Since he loved her, he would respect her. She might seem cheeky, but she was very conservative.
“I was just teasing you.”
Josh dotingly and lightly pinched her pretty face. He stood up and said with reluctance, “I’m leaving. You should get some rest soon. Good night.”
Jasmine walked Josh out.
His driver was waiting for him outside.
“You don’t need to send me further. Go back to sleep,” Josh turned his head and said to Jasmine.
“I need to close the gates.”
Jasmine lightly patted the dog that came over to rub against her. It shook its head and wagged its tail.
Soon, it went back to the corner and lay down.
Josh looked at the dog and chuckled. “Your dog is very obedient and doesn’t bark. Zack was scared half to death by it last time.”
Jasmine hummed. “It doesn’t bark sometimes, but it is good at guarding our house. Since we had it, no one dared climb over the wall at night anymore. Thieves used to spoil the surveillance camera above my fence and climb over the wall to get in.”
Her parents were light sleepers and heard the movements outside. As a result, those thieves managed to get in but rushed to escape without even being able to pick the lock on their front door.
Since they had the dog, their surveillance camera stayed intact.
Now, there was no need for Jasmine’s family to be afraid of thieves anymore. Everyone knew her fiancé was Josh Bucham. The Buchams kept a low but powerful profile in Wiltspoon. Who would dare steal from Jasmine’s family? One could be easily turned upside down by the Buchams in seconds.
As reluctant as Josh was, he still got into the car. Jasmine stood at the entrance and watched the driver start the car. Only then did she close the gates and go back inside..
The night was quiet after that.
As usual, Serena went to the hospital to visit her sister the next day.
“Seren, I’m fine now, and Mrs. Lane is taking care of me. You don’t need to stay here with me. every day. Do what you need to do,” Liberty said when Serena put down the insulated lunch box.
She was already thinking about her business at All You Can Eat.
After Liberty got injured, two of her employees came to see her in the hospital. She trusted them and gave one of them the keys to the store so that they could open the door for business as usual.
She had asked Serena to go and take a look. There were regulars and returning customers, so the business was alright.
Even so, Liberty was still anxious. She could not wait to recover right away and continue to earn money.
go back to the store later. Jasmine has gone to get her marriage license today and isn’t free.
Our bookstore hasn’t been open for a while.” Now that her sister was recovering well and was being looked after by Mrs. Lane, Serena was much more at ease.
If she did not go back to the store soon, everyone would think that she was going to close down. the bookstore and become a missus at home. Mr. Charles would probably lose his money in the bet with his friends.
He won a handful last time.
“Sonny went to the gym?”
“Yeah, Jim sent him there.”
Serena took out her phone and said, “I’ll call Jim and ask him to send Sonny to my store after his class so I’ll have a companion.”
Sonny was still young, after all. He would be bored if he stayed in the hospital every day.
Liberty hummed.
“Jasmine went to get her marriage license today?” She asked with a smile, “Her engagement party last night must be very lively, right?”
“It was indeed. Many people showed up. Liberty, you have to get better soon. You must attend her wedding. Jasmine also said you must attend and that Sonny will be her flower boy.”
Liberty smiled. “Of course. I’ll be able to jump and dance by the time her wedding comes.
“Seren, you have to go and open your store. Hurry up and go. Don’t worry about me.”
Under the repeated urging of her sister, only then could Serena leave the hospital and drive to Wiltspoon School.
Meanwhile, at York Corporation…
Callum followed behind his big brother like a tail.
Zack could not help but turn his head and ask him, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t stick to me like glue–it’s not me you should be sticking to.”
Why was Callum sticking to him instead of Camryn?
Callum smiled and said, “Zack, why aren’t you going back to your office yet? I have something to say to you.”
“You can’t say it here?”
Callum grinned.
Zack glared at him again and figured that what he wanted to say was a personal matter.
Ten minutes later, Zack sat at his desk and asked Callum, “Spit it out. What is it?”
“I’m a little embarrassed. I always think I know more about love than you do, but I feel a little flustered now. It feels like I’m slapping myself in the face.”
Zack laughed and responded, “Aren’t you guys learning from me? One, don’t hide your identity. Two, don’t ask for trouble. No, you’ve asked for trouble. You know she can’t see, and yet you asked her to send you flowers. Aren’t you worried that something will happen to her on the way?
“If something happens, you’ll be the one who’s heartbroken.”
Callum defended himself. “I wasn’t asking for trouble. I know she can move freely in a familiar environment, so I wanted her to be familiar with the route and be comfortable when she comes to find me in the future. I don’t know when I can get the genius doctor to treat her eyes. Before she regains her sight, I should let her get used to things related to me.
“I told Camryn that she’s the wife candidate Nana picked for me. I convinced her to accompany me to Josh’s engagement party last night, but she wasn’t in the flower store when I went to find her just now. She has moved into the flower store, but her phone was off when I called her.
“I keep feeling that she’s avoiding me. It was time to come to work and I didn’t have enough time, so I could only come to the office first and ask you for some advice. Zack, how do you coax. Serena when a conflict happens?”
Zack’s face darkened.
“Your sister–in–law and I have a good relationship.”
“I know you do now, but wasn’t there a time when things were a bit tense between you? Nana had to live with you to mediate the situation.”
Zack wanted to send his cousin, who exposed his past, out of his office.
“Ms. Newman is definitely avoiding you. It’s not that there’s a conflict between you, but she can’t accept you. The problen: is different, so it can’t be solved the same way. None of us can help you. with this, so you have to solve it yourself. After all, your pursuit has just begun.”
Callum pursed his lips: “I thought she had some feelings for me. I helped her and also took care of her business. She’s very happy with me, and she also trusts me. I was the first person she told when she got the recorder.
“Who knew, after I told her everything, I can’t see her anymore. I should’ve learned from how you lied to Serena in the past and lie to her for a while first.”
Zack was speechless.
“Zack, what should I do?” Callum asked, feeling restless.
It turned out that wanting to complete the task given to him by his nana and marrying a woman was so troublesome.
Callum had always thought that as long as he wanted to marry a woman, no matter who it was, the other party would marry him in a heartbeat.
