Chapter 269
The Contract Marriage
David looked at her in confusion. âAuntie went home to rest. What are you going there for?â
âYou really want to know?â Jasmine put on her seatbelt and smiled at him.
David heard her words and smiled as he started the car. He smiled and started the car. âWhat? Is there a secret?â
Jasmine raised her eyebrows. âIt really is a secret. But if you really want to know, I will tell you. But I have a condition!â
âWhat condition?â
âWhat did Sarah secretly tell you in the room just now?â Actually, she had heard everything, but she just wanted to make things difficult for him.
David smiled and looked at her. âDidnât you hear everything?â
âForget it, forget it if you donât want to say it.â Jasmine raised her eyebrows and leaned back into the chair, not saying anything.
David understood what she was thinking, but he only smiled and did not say anything else. He turned the steering wheel and drove the car out of Municipal Hospital.
David quickly sent Jasmine to Sarahâs house downstairs. Jasmine unbuckled her seatbelt and wanted to get out of the car. She turned her head and looked at him. âI will go to your apartment for dinner tonight. Make delicious food for me.â
âOkay.â
Jasmine smiled and got out of the car. She looked up at Sarahâs balcony subconsciously and waved at David before walking into the unit door.
Samantha returned home. She had just cleaned up and put all the laundry into the washing machine.
Before she had time to rest, she heard the doorbell ring.
Samantha walked over and opened the door. She was a little surprised when she saw Jasmine.
âAuntie!â When she saw Samantha again, Jasmineâs feelings towards her were somewhat different from before. But in her heart, she also understood that before some things were officially confirmed, she could not reveal any clues.
âJasmine? Why are you here? Is something the matter?â
âIf thereâs nothing else, canât I come and visit Auntie? â Jasmine mischievously asked back.
Samantha smiled and let her into the living room. She took out fruits and melon seeds and sat opposite her. âOh right, Jasmine, how is your grandmother? Is there anything wrong with her health?â
Jasmine heard what she said and immediately replied with a smile, âAuntie, my grandma is fine. She is just old, so she often has some kind of small health problem. But she will be fine in a while.â
Samantha nodded, âIt is good that she is fine. I see that the old ladyâs physique is not bad and she is also very energetic. This is good fortune.â
âYeah, didnât they often say that having an old man is like having a treasure? By the way, Auntie, if you are tired, you can go and rest. Is there any work at home that I can help with?â
Jasmine stood up as she spoke. Hearing the sound of washing machines in the bathroom, she wanted to walk over.
Samantha quickly stood up and grabbed her wrist, âAuntie has finished long ago. You can sit down and chat with Auntie.â
Jasmine took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Samantha. her head to look at Samanthaâs hair, she suddenly shouted.
âJasmine, whatâs wrong?â
âAiya, Auntie, you have so much white hair! Let me help you remove it!â Jasmine said as she reached out her hand.
Samantha smiled, âNo need. Itâs fine if it grows, but sooner or later it will turn white.â
âHow can that be? Auntie, donât move. There are only a few. Iâll help you pull them out!â Jasmine stood up without giving any explanation.
Samantha understood that she also had good intentions and did not refuse, âOkay! Then you can pull it out. . .â
Jasmine pulled out a few strands and reached out to stuff all of Samanthaâs hair into her sleeves. After a while, she once again sat beside Samantha and placed the few strands of white hair that she pulled out onto the coffee table. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After getting what she wanted, Jasmine sat at Sarahâs house for a while before saying goodbye to Samantha and leaving.
When Samantha went to dry her clothes, she saw that Jasmineâs figure was already far away and smiled as she shook her head.
âWhat happened to this lass today?â After saying that, she turned around and went to get her clothes.
When David got off work at night, he received a message from Jasmine, saying that she had long gone to his house. Knowing that she had the keys to his apartment, David put away the line and drove out of his hotel.
When he passed by the supermarket, he went in to buy some ingredients before driving back to his apartment.
David took out the key and opened the door to the living room. When he walked into the living room, he found Jasmine cooking dinner in the kitchen.
He changed his shoes and walked over. He saw that there were a few dishes on the dining table.
âDidnât you say that I would come back to cook?â
âWhatâs wrong? Youâre still not satisfied with the ready-made food?â Jasmine smiled and walked in front of him. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. She looked up at his face and lifted her toes to kiss his lips lightly.
David smiled and gently caressed her face. âIâm afraid that I will tire the second young lady of Wilson Family out. I canât afford it.â
Jasmine smiled and raised her eyebrows. âThen just compensate me. How about it?â
David heard her words and smiled. âDo you want me to marry you?â
âDisgusting! Quickly go and change your clothes. Weâll have dinner later.â Jasmine smiled and let go of him. She turned around and went to look at the soup in the kitchen again.
During this period of time, after she returned to her home, Jasmine would follow the chefs at home to learn cooking. She was already very familiar with the cooking methods of some home-cooked dishes.
Sometimes, she would even show her cooking skills at home.
Every time Syrus ate the dishes cooked by his second sister, he couldnât help but sigh with emotion.
Ever since his second sister started dating David, she was getting more and more feminine.
David looked at her back and turned to go to the bedroom. After a while, he changed into a casual outfit and walked out.
David saw that Jasmine had already brought the soup to the table. He smiled and walked to the table and sat down. He looked at the four dishes and soup on the table and said with a smile. âJasmine, you really donât need to learn how to cook. If. . .â
Before David could finish, Jasmine raised her hand and interrupted him, âStop! Donât say anything else.
As for me, there is only one reason for me to learn how to cook!â
âWhat is it?â
âI like to cook for you!â
David looked at her thoughtfully and did not say anything else.
Jasmine saw him pick up the chopsticks and looked at him slightly. She looked at him and said, âDavid, do you know what I went to Sarahâs house to do today?â
âI donât know. Didnât you say there was a secret?â David asked back with a smile.
âYes! Do you want to know?â
âThat depends on whether you want to say it or not. If you donât want to say it, then donât say it.â David didnât want to force her. He held his chopsticks and wanted to eat.
âBut I want to tell you!â
âAlright, then tell me. What kind of secret is it?â
Jasmine thought for a while and told David everything about her grandmother. After she finished, she looked at him and smiled. âDo you think the fate between Sarah and me is very strange?â
Jasmineâs words really surprised David. He looked at her in disbelief and asked, âYour grandmother can tell that it is her long-lost daughter just by one side. Isnât it a bit arbitrary? After all, she has been missing for decades.â
âYes! It sounded a little arbitrary, but Grandma firmly believes that Auntie is my Second Aunt. I also think that she is.â
âWhy do you think she is?â
âIntuition! Because every time I see Auntie, I have an indescribable feeling of intimacy, an indescribable feeling! This was the feeling when we first met.â
âCould Sarah really be your cousin?â
âI donât know about that. Now that the DNA test has yet to be out, I donât dare to say 100% that it is.â
âIt would be great if it is.â David sighed lightly.
âWhy?â
âSarah doesnât have any relatives. Auntie has been very lonely since Sarah got married. There are so many people in your family. If it is true, Sarah will not care about her mother so much. Donât you think so?â
âThatâs true! But if it is true, wonât you change from Mr. David to brother-in-law? Which one do you prefer?â Jasmine looked at him with a smile.
David was silent for a moment. âDidnât the result not come out yet? Letâs eat. . .â
Jasmine heard his words and her eyes flashed. She did not say anything else.
Because Daphne saw the scene of her grandson crying loudly in Vivianâs delivery room at noon, after lunch, she came back in the afternoon.
Fortunately, during the time when she went home, the little guy fell asleep again after he was full. Not long after Daphne came, the little fellow woke up. He opened its grape-like eyes and looked at the strange world in front of him.
âAiyo, Mrs. Cooper. Actually, itâs fine as long as Hannah and I take care of this place. Julianâs father is still in the ICU. You donât have to run here.â
When Daphne left, Mrs. Holmes repeatedly reminded her that she did not need to come back today.
But she did not expect that after they finished lunch just now, Daphne actually ran back.
But Daphne was the childâs grandmother, so it was impossible to chase her away. The mother and daughter looked at her with unspeakable depression. But it was not easy to say anything, so Mrs.
Holmes could only persuade her to go back.
âItâs fine! Ethan is now in the ICU, and I canât take care of him. Now that I can see my grandson, as his grandmother, my mood can be better. Oh right, Mrs. Holmes, youâve been exhausted these two days.
Why donât you go back and rest today? Iâll just stay here and take care of Stephen.â
Daphne helped Stephen change his diaper as she looked at Mrs. Holmes who was at the side and said.
âNo need! Isnât there a room here? I can rest here.â Right now, she was the one who was most inseparable from her daughter. No matter what, she canât go back.
âHow can you rest here? You can go back. Iâm here tonight. When Stephen is sleeping, I will go and see Ethan. You can come back tomorrow.â Daphne carried Stephen up as she spoke.
The little guy slept for more than two hours. Perhaps he was hungry again, so he looked at his grandmother with a wronged expression and wanted cry.
Daphne saw this and did not wait for Mrs. Holmes to reply to her. She immediately turned to Mrs.
Holmes and Vivian and said, âI see that Stephen is hungry again. I will carry him to Sarahâs place to eat for a while.â
As she spoke, she walked to the door. She opened the door and was about to carry Stephen away.
