Chapter 2434: Chapter 2434: Caught a Glimpse of a Familiar Figure
The house had become much livelier.
After returning home, Jasmine Yale was especially busy every day, so busy she didn’t even have time to watch TV.
Like other babies, Little Clementine was hard to take care of, waking up crying from time to time at night.
Jasmine Yale was so tired that she could fall asleep while eating.
Luka Xadrian and Chris Fern were busy as well; they stayed in Cakago for two days before leaving again, and Yukon Carbon also left after three to four days due to the many matters related to the bank system.
Once they left, Jasmine Yale and Butler Santana were left to frantically take care of Little Clementine.
"Miss Yale, did you forget that it’s almost New Year?" Butler Santana suddenly said while hanging clothes.
Jasmine Yale was momentarily stunned, then laughed: "Is that so? I really forgot, when is it?"
"In half a month."
"So soon..." Jasmine Yale sighed, "I didn’t expect the New Year to come so fast, I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot. This is Little Clementine’s first New Year since she was born, we must celebrate properly."
Jasmine Yale really didn’t expect that it was almost New Year.
In a daze, she still thought she was pregnant.
It’s been a year.
She couldn’t remember the last time she cheerfully celebrated New Year.
Seeing Jasmine Yale lost in thought, Butler Santana couldn’t help but laugh, "This New Year will be lively with Little Clementine."
Jasmine Yale smiled. Yes, she was a little angel.
Nighttime.
In the depth of winter, the weather was very cold, and as the night curtain fell, the surrounding cold wind howled.
The winter in Cakago was quite similar to the one in Landon; Jasmine Yale had lived here for years and was already used to it.
Used to the lifestyle here, the rhythm of life, she even somewhat forgot... what life in Landon was like.
Butler Santana took good care of her; she had fully recovered, and even gained a little weight.
At eleven at night, Little Clementine was still playing with Jasmine Yale, unwilling to sleep.
"Baby, aren’t you sleepy at all? How about going to sleep? Mommy is so tired," Jasmine Yale yawned.
The little one was full of energy and definitely didn’t want to sleep.
Jasmine Yale had to carry her around: "Look, there’s the moon in the sky, and stars next to it..."
"Little Clementine, be good, how about we play a little longer and then go to sleep?" Jasmine Yale softly hummed a lullaby, coaxing her.
But the little one had no intention of sleeping; one moment she was tugging Jasmine Yale’s hair, the next moment she was touching the window glass.
Jasmine Yale handed her a teddy bear to play with, but she wanted to chew on it.
Jasmine Yale felt helpless.
"Little Clementine, Little Devil."
She gently rubbed the little one’s head, looking at her affectionately, with sweetness swelling in her heart.
The little one kept reaching toward the window.
Jasmine Yale held her back: "Don’t touch, the window is cold."
The little one couldn’t reach it, and was about to cry, her cheeks flushed red.
Jasmine Yale felt even more helpless, so she had to carry her over.
Little Clementine leaned against the window, looking out with sparkling eyes, perfectly content.
Jasmine Yale followed her gaze out the window, and suddenly, her eyes showed a hint of surprise, without looking it was fine, but once she looked, she saw a familiar figure.
Her heart skipped a beat, why was he here?
The man’s silhouette stood under a tall ornamental tree, darkness shrouding his face, making it impossible to see anything clearly except his tall, lean figure and the cigarette butt flickering between his fingers.
Enveloped in smoke, his features appeared distinct and deep.
The wind outside was strong, and the white clouds of cigarette smoke drifted with the wind.
Vaguely, it seemed to be foggy outside.
