Chapter 2405: Chapter 2405: Jasy Loves the Baby
Jasmine Yale nibbles on the apple in her hand, cool and sweet.
A layer of white fog blankets the window, hazy and indistinct. Jasmine lifts her hand and draws a heart on the window.
She smiles at the heart, filled with affection: "Jasy loves Baby."
She looks outside, where snow blankets the world, turning it into a white, crystal-clear land, extraordinarily beautiful.
The children outside are still playing, laughter echoing in bursts.
Snowy days have no impact on their joy.
She sits quietly.
It’s still early.
She hasn’t texted Sylvan Cheney; he hasn’t reached out either. But Kade Yuvan did call.
"Assistant Yuvan."
"Jasmine, happy Christmas Eve! Are you home alone or out on a date?"
"It’s snowing outside, I didn’t go out."
"Oh, right, you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be running around. I’m different, I just built a snowman downstairs. I’ll send you a picture later."
"You can build snowmen?"
"Of course I can! And it’s really nice!"
"Remember to eat apples on Christmas Eve."
"I did, the company gave everyone an apple. I ate mine already. The snow scene around the financial district is beautiful. There’s a great spot here to enjoy the snow, do you know where it is?"
"Financial district? You’re not off work yet? Christmas Eve is like New Year’s Eve back home."
"I’m all by myself, why leave work? Better to earn some overtime pay. Besides, I don’t really celebrate Christmas Eve or Christmas."
"Do you celebrate New Year’s Eve, New Year?" Jasmine asked with a laugh.
"I do celebrate that. I’ll be going back home for New Year, back to Landon to visit my parents. How about you? I remember you’re from Landon too. Are you going home? If so, we could go together."
"The baby hasn’t been born yet, I can’t go anywhere."
"Oh, right, that’s true."
"Assistant Yuvan, aren’t you working overtime? How are you out enjoying the snow?"
"The snow scene is beautiful! The company decorated with lots of Christmas trees, stockings, stars, balloons—it’s like a fairy tale."
"Fairy tale..." Jasmine thought of a fairy-tale amusement park.
"Pres...President..." The voice on the other end suddenly sounded sheepish.
"What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be working?" Sylvan Cheney’s deep voice sounded.
"I’m coming, President." Kade quickly replied, "President, weren’t you going out shopping?"
Jasmine heard Sylvan’s voice, but before she could say anything more, Kade had already hung up.
Her face remained expressionless as she put her phone away, quietly looking out the window.
She also wanted to go out and play.
Before long, Kade sent over a picture of a snowman.
The small snowman was just a bit large, an undeniably cute one.
Kade sent her a message: "Cute, right?"
Jasmine: "Yes, cute, did you build it?"
"I did, why don’t you believe me!"
"Aren’t you busy? Where did you find time to build a snowman?"
"It’s okay, I steal some leisure during busy times, no one watches me while I work overtime."
Jasmine and Kade chat casually, she suddenly sighs: "It’s really cold outside, I really want some red bean milk tea, something warm to hold in my hands."
"It’s snowing outside, don’t go out, you might slip. If you’re craving, you can juice some fruit at home."
"Have you ever had that moment where you just really want something specific?"
"Of course."
"That’s exactly how I feel now—there’s nothing else that can replace it."
