Chapter 940

Jasmine smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I’ll disturb you.”

“No worries. I enjoy having you around, in fact.”

Mrs. Bucham brought Jasmine upstairs as if she knew in which room Josh was going to have a meal.

Once they entered the room, it happened to be the private room that Josh had reserved.

After being seated, Mrs. Bucham took off her fine charm bracelet. Then, she lifted Jasmine’s hand with the bracelet that Josh gave to Jasmine, and she removed that bracelet.

After that, Mrs. Bucham put her bracelet on Jasmine’s wrist and said, “Jasmine, this is our first time meeting. I didn’t prepare anything, so I’ll give you my bracelet as a gift. That bracelet was given by Josh, right? The fineness of this charm bracelet is better.”

Jasmine was born into a wealthy family and had a wealthy aunt. Therefore, she had come across all kinds of jewelry and could determine the value of the jewelry.

The bracelet Josh gave her was quite costly. It was estimated to be worth a hundred thousand dollars.

As for the charm bracelet that Mrs. Bucham gave to her, its elegance was better than Josh’s gift. It looked clear and beautiful. No doubt, it was a high–grade bracelet.

It was certainly valuable.

Jasmine did not dare accept such a precious gift. She wanted to take the bracelet off and return it to Mrs. Bucham, but Mrs. Bucham stopped her.

“Jasmine, do you think my gift isn’t valuable enough? You must accept it. If you don’t, it means that you think it’s not valuable enough.”

Jasmine responded helplessly, “Mrs. Bucham, this is too precious.”

“It’s not. It might seem precious, but it’s just a bit more costly than the bracelet Josh gave you.”

Mrs. Bucham insisted on giving Jasmine the bracelet as a gift. Jasmine turned her eyes to Josh, seemingly asking for help.

However, Josh gazed at her smilingly. After noticing her imploring look, he laughed and said, “Jasmine, since my mom has given the bracelet to you, you should just accept it. You’re the only person who deserves to wear it.”

The bracelet was one of the Buchams‘ heirlooms.

The bracelet that Mrs. Bucham wore was not as precious as the one worn by the wife of the head of the Buchams. Anyway, Mrs. Bucham’s bracelet was a lot more. precious than Josh’s present.

The head of Buchams‘ wife said that she wanted to pass her heirloom to her eldest daughter–in–law.

However, her son was still single. She was worried no one would inherit the heirloom.

Mrs. Bucham heard that from the head of Buchams‘ wife. She did say she would pass the bracelet to her eldest daughter–in–law too.

Now that Mrs. Bucham had given the bracelet to Jasmine, it meant that she acknowledged Jasmine as her daughter–in–law.

Sure enough, Mrs. Bucham was Josh’s mother. She behaved in the same way as he did, or rather, his behavior resembled his mother’s.

Mrs. Bucham put Josh’s bracelet on Jasmine’s other hand.

Jasmine was at a loss for words.

Given that she was unable to reject Mrs. Bucham, she readily accepted it.

“Thank you, Mrs. Bucham.”

Mrs. Bucham laughed and said, “You’re welcome. I’m very fond of you. By the way, are your parents available? I’ll let Josh’s dad know that I’m going to ask your parents out for a meal.”

Jasmine thought, ‘Is this going to be the occasion where both our parents meet?‘

It finally hit her why Josh was not in a hurry to let his family know that he was pursuing her.

Indeed, Josh’s family was eager.
