Chapter 199
Married at First Sight
Chapter 199 Jasmine asked in surprise, âReally? Brynfield is a high-end neighborhood, but I didnât expect someone who drivesa Rolls-Royce would live there.
If theyâre so rich, why not live in a villa?â âMr.
York said that perhaps some rich kid went to a nearby school, so the parents bought an apartment for the kid in Brynfield.
That way, itâs more convenient for the kid to travel to school.
That family might have countless villas.â Jasmine smiled.
âTrue.
Letâs go to the supermarket.
By the way, didnât Grandma May say that sheâs coming over?â âNot anymore.â âWhy now?â âThe owner of the house disagreed.â
Jasmine was speechless.
The owner of the house was Zachary, Grandma Mayâs grandson.
Grandma May wanted to come over for the weekend, but her grandson did not allow it.
What an unfilial child! The two got into Jasmineâs car and left Beans and Cream.
Shortly after, Jasmine parked the car in a large shopping mall.
After strolling around the mall, the two of them came out with many bags of goodies.
At this time, Serenity missed going to the mall with Zachary.
With him around, he would help her carry the bags no matter how much she bought.
After Jasmine put the things into the car, she was gasping for air.
âThis is the only time I think of wanting a man to accompany me when Iâm out shopping.
I didnât think about the logistics wherfi was buying all that stuff.
Now that Iâm carrying all the bags, theyâre so heavy that my arms are about to break! I regret having bought so muchâ¦â
Serenity laughed.
No wonder she and Jasmine could become best friends.
They had the same thoughts.
Serenity was just thinking about the benefits of going shopping with Zachary, but Jasmine said it first âHurry up and find a boyfriend, then!Itâll be easier to go shopping in the future.â Jasmine sat in the driverâs seat and fastened her seat belt while she said, âYa think a good boyfriend is easy to find? I want one that suits me.
Someone that I have feelings for.
If a boyfriend like that is so easy to find, I wouldnât have been single all this while and wouldnât need to hide from myfamily because of their constant urging.â âYou just havenât found the one for you yet.
Thereâs no rush.
Youâre only twenty-five this year.
Youâre young and can afford to be single for a couple more years.â
âMy mom wasnât so anxious before when you were stillsingle.
Once you got married, my mother started to rush me as if I could never get married.
Sheâs been pushing me since then and wishing she could arrange a thousand blind dates for mein a day so I would be married off the next day.â Jasmine could understand where her mother was coming from.
Her mother thought Jasmine had better conditions than Serenity, but Serenity got married before her.
Even if Serenity and Zachary got married at first sight, Zachary seemed like a decent man.
On the other hand, Jasmine still did not have a boyfriend, and her blind dates fell through time and again.
That was why Jasmineâs mother was so anxious.
Fortunately, Jasmineâs mother stopped urging her to get married these days.
That was because Jasmine was willing to go all out for some peace and quiet.
Serenity giggled.
She often saw Jasmineâs mother and knew that Jasmineâs mother was only anxious about Jasmineâs marriage after seeing that she was married.
âYour mother is relentless, but thatâs normal with mothers.
I want to have a mother to encourage me like this, but I canât even rememberwhat my mother looks like nowâ¦â Serenityâs parents did not take many photos while they were still alive.
Smartphones were not popular at that time, so the only photos of her parents left behind were a few which were kept by Liberty.
Serenity had to look at the photos every time to remember what her parents looked like.
Jasmine comforted her friend while she drove.
âYour parents must be up in heaven, blessing you and Liberty.â
Serenity was silent.
If her parents were in heaven blessing them both, the viral incident on Twitter would not have happened.
Serenity and her sisters also would not have suffered through such a tough and pitiful childhood.
Jasmine knew that parents were a heavy topic for her friend, so she quickly changed thesubject.
It took a while to revive the mood.
