Fated love: the unwanted bride

“Do you have something to say to me?” Jasmine Yale glanced at him.

They were keeping their distance.

The wind and rain were intense, especially cold outside.

“Jasmine, I…sorry…I only just found out, you are still alive, and…you married into a decent family…”

Kaine Zahir’s eyes darted towards the villa not far away.

It was the brightly lit Cheney Residence.

Jasmine Yale sneered, still alive? Married into a decent family?

“You wish I wasn’t alive?”

“Of course not!” Kaine Zahir shook his head, waving his hand, “Seeing that you’re doing well, eases my mind, really, I wish for you to be happy. You don’t know, fifteen years ago when I heard you had disappeared, I was very anxious, I was looking everywhere…really…everywhere…”

Kaine Zahir stumbled over his words.

The wind was too strong, making his voice sound particularly desolate. Jasmine Yale couldn’t see the expression on his face, only his dodging eyes. “Looking everywhere but you couldn’t find me?” Jasmine Yale casually replied. “Yes, I couldn’t find you, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack…! stayed up for nights… then someone said you were dead…”

Jasmine Yale didn’t know how many of his words were true or false. Regardless of what was true or false, she didn’t want to listen anymore. This man, was only her biological father.

When she wasn’t kicked out, she didn’t see him treating her well.

Sometimes when he got drunk, he would scold her and her mother.

Even her gentle mother, who did nothing wrong, he scolded.

Sometimes, he would even use foul language.

“Yes, consider me dead.”

Jasmine Yale casually tossed out a sentence, and turned to leave.

She held up her umbrella, each step she took, water splashed beneath her feet.

The rain was too heavy.

“No, Jasmine, seeing that you’re doing well, eases my mind. This…is this your home?” Kaine Zahir pointed at the villa not far away.

“Home? I don’t have a home.” Jasmine Yale stopped, “I didn’t have one before, and I don’t now.”

“Jasmine, I heard that you’re staying at Mr. Cheney’s house…”

Kaine Zahir’s tone suggested that he was probing.

Jasmine Yale knew right then, the reason he came was certainly not to see her. Of course, she had no desire to see this father of hers.

Back when she was thrown out by Nancy Emmett, and wandered aimlessly along the roadside, she didn’t go far.

If Kaine Zahir had genuinely searched, he certainly could have found her. Obviously, he was lying.

He liked Nancy Emmett and Kamila, how could he possibly be happy because she was alive?

“Quit beating around the bush. Did you come to get me to release Nancy Emmett? Sorry, I can’t do that.” Jasmine Yale said bluntly.

Her face was extremely cold.

Nancy Emmett was trying to strangle her, and she was supposed to let her go? She wasn’t that kind of a person.

“Jasmine, I didn’t mean that, it’s just that knowing you’re alive…I’m glad, really.”

Kaine Zahir looked nervous and uneasy.

He felt that his ulterior motives had been seen through.

“Hm, I’m not destitute which must disappoint you.”

Jasmine Yale continued to walk forward.

Behind her, Kaine Zahir grew anxious, and ran after her.

“Jasmine, Jasmine!” He called out hastily, “Can we talk? We really…haven’t seen each other for fifteen years, I miss you a lot, so much that I dream about it.” Jasmine Yale turned her head, greeted him with a smile.

Her smile was gentle and magnanimous: “But, I don’t miss you.”

Her words, just like the pouring rain, drenched Kaine Zahir from head to toe..
