Chapter 2438: Chapter 2438: What’s Wrong with Being a Little Selfish?
Little Clementine is both obedient and adorable, with that pure face one can’t bear to hurt.
Although sometimes she makes a fuss, throws little tantrums, and even spits up milk, she’s truly very cute.
"I want Little Clementine to have a home." After a while, Jasmine Yale gently touched the baby’s face and softly said, "Girls are delicate and sensitive; I grew up wandering and don’t want my daughter to repeat my mistakes."
At this moment, a thought flashed through her mind... she wanted to get married.
She never had such a strong desire like now; she really, really wanted to give Little Clementine a home.
Especially when she saw her daughter’s innocent and pure big eyes.
She wanted to leave behind the deceitful, manipulative world brought by Sylvan Cheney; she just wanted to quietly be an ordinary person.
She didn’t want people like Spencer Childe, Yolanda Fern, or Erin Janus in her future world anymore, nor did she have the energy to face them. She just wanted a peaceful life so that Little Clementine could grow up healthy and happy.
This thought has become increasingly strong these days.
"Miss Yale, it’s great. You and Little Clementine should be treated kindly, not bullied." Butler Santana, for the first time, didn’t take Sylvan Cheney’s side; she was disappointed in him.
Jasmine Yale smiled, "I’m just thinking; let’s talk about it later. After the New Year, I’ll find a job so I can raise Little Clementine into a chubby, healthy girl."
"Are you staying in Cakago?"
"Little Clementine is too small; I can’t take her out." Jasmine Yale said helplessly.
"No rush, take your time to consider."
"I was planning to bring over Chale, but now I’m so busy; it’s not very likely."
"Miss Yale, just take good care of Little Clementine, that’s all. Don’t think about other things." Butler Santana felt frustrated. Jasmine had only one heart; she didn’t need to give a piece to everyone. Right now, she just needed to take good care of Little Clementine.
Is there anything wrong with being a bit selfish?
Jasmine Yale said nothing, looking down at the baby in her arms.
Little Clementine played on her own, very happily.
Butler Santana said no more, sighed inwardly, and left the bedroom.
...
Before New Year’s Eve arrived, Butler Santana cleaned the house spotlessly.
Abroad, the New Year’s Eve atmosphere is not strong, it’s quite faint; only Chinatown was bustling with activity, adorned with lanterns. The major media outlets had begun reporting its vibrancy many days ago.
Jasmine Yale pasted red paper cuttings on the windows, giving the home a festive atmosphere.
She also made a red envelope for Little Clementine; from now on, she’d give her one every year.
This year was her and Little Clementine’s first year together.
Jasmine Yale turned on the TV and switched to a live broadcast related to Chinatown.
Indeed, as she expected, the place was lively, with firecrackers, lion dances, and even traditional stilt performances already underway.
On New Year’s Eve, the weather was incredibly clear.
People abroad didn’t have much concept; they continued with their usual routines, but Jasmine Yale was different. She wanted to celebrate a happy New Year.
In the sunlight, the paper cuttings glistened and were particularly bright.
"Miss Yale, shall we have dumplings tonight?" Butler Santana asked.
"Sure, let’s make dumplings together, I love eating them."
Butler Santana prepared the filling, and Jasmine Yale worked busily with her, feeling both hectic and fulfilled.
Jasmine Yale had to occasionally tend to Little Clementine.
"Baby, it’s the New Year, are you happy?" When Little Clementine cried, Jasmine Yale would hold her and walk around.
