Fated love: the unwanted bride

“Jasy… Are you really ignoring the baby now…”

The little one rested his head on the table, a layer of mist clouding his large eyes.

He looked so upset.

“No, Jasy isn’t ignoring you.”

Making up her mind, Jasmine Yale finally spoke up.

She would treat this child the same as she always had.

He was still young, and if any shadow got into his heart, it would last a lifetime.

That’s how she had felt once.

Little Chale was already pitiful enough; his mother was gone, and his father had a bad temper.

“Really? You’re not lying? I miss you so much…”

“Really, Jasy’s not lying to Little Chale.”

“Then will you sleep with me tonight?”

“Jasy has to work late tonight, so she might not be able to sleep with you. Can you sleep by yourself? Be good.”

“Not good.” Chale Cheney was unhappy now.

“Don’t be like that. Sleeping with dad is the same.”

“Dad’s chest is hard, it feels uncomfortable, I want to curl up in Jasy’s arms.”

Both Jasmine Yale and Sylvan Cheney were speechless.

Chale Cheney got impatient when Jasmine Yale didn’t respond; he grabbed the phone, “Jasy, don’t you like me anymore?”

“I do.”

She was telling the truth.

If he weren’t Sylvan Cheney’s son, she’d like him even more.

“Then will you promise me…”

“Little Chale, listen to what Jasy says,” Jasmine Yale softened her tone, “Jasy can’t always be with you, you’ll grow up one day too.”

“Jasy….”

“Jasy will…” Jasmine Yale hesitated, “get married and have a baby someday.”

“Wah…” Chale Cheney started to cry.

“Little Chale?” Jasmine Yale panicked.

Sylvan Cheney hit the brakes, his eyes flashed with anger.

Get married? Have a baby?

“Little Chale, don’t cry, Jasy won’t leave you, Little Chale.”

“Jasy, you really don’t like me anymore, you really don’t… you’re going to have a little brother…”

“Little Chale, you can’t be so domineering. Jasy isn’t your biological mother after all, one day she’ll leave you. But then, you’ll find your own biological mother…” Jasmine Yale swallowed hard.

“Enough!”

Sylvan Cheney, with a gloomy face, wrenched the phone from her!

“Have you ever considered his feelings when you say these things to a child? Jasmine Yale, you’re really selfish!” His eyes were bright red as he stared at her.

On the contrary, Jasmine Yale was calm, managing to force a smile: “But who has ever considered my feelings?”

Her child with him was gone, and now she’s supposed to take care of the child he had with another woman.

Why was she supposed to be so magnanimous?

She was selfish?

She said dryly, expressionless: “If I’m selfish, you’re heartless.”

“You’re just making excuses for yourself! Apologize to Little Chale!”

Sylvan Cheney threw the phone into her lap.

Jasmine Yale didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, even though it might have hurt a child.

Sylvan Cheney glared at her intensely.

Jasmine Yale bowed her head and picked up the phone.

“Jasy!” Little Chale called out in delight, “You called me.”

For some reason, in that moment, Jasmine Yale felt like crying.

Really, she wanted to cry.

Children understand nothing.

Maybe Sylvan Cheney was right, she was selfish, she had hurt the little guy.

“Little Chale, Jasy will come and sleep with you tonight.”

“Really? Really?”

“Really.”

“Then, Jasy, do you like me?” The little chap asked nervously.

“I do, I really do, especially so..”
