Chapter 2440: Chapter 2440: Little Clementine’s First Lunar New Year’s Eve
Butler Santana roughly understood what was happening.
Jasmine Yale was quite happy during the day, no, she had been quite happy for a while now. It’s New Year’s Eve, how could she be crying.
Butler Santana had no choice but to try to comfort Little Clementine.
Little Clementine was not obedient, she kept crying.
"Alright, be good, Little Clementine, don’t cry. Let’s comfort mommy, okay? Don’t cry." Butler Santana held her.
Little Clementine didn’t listen and kept crying.
The transparent windows were stained with the glow of the sunset, and the light streaming into the room covered the floor with warm colors.
The bedroom was quiet.
Little Clementine only stopped crying when she was tired out, her eyes red, and her little nose red too.
Butler Santana teased her, "Little one, crying all the time, aren’t you shy."
She carried Little Clementine to knock on Jasmine Yale’s door, "Miss Yale, please hold Little Clementine, she’s not crying anymore, she’s being good, she wants you to hold her."
Inside, there was no response.
Butler Santana knocked on the door again.
After a long while, Jasmine Yale finally came out.
No matter how unhappy she was, she still loved Little Clementine.
She took her daughter from Butler Santana’s arms, her fingers lightly stroking her hair and cheeks.
The little one had grown a lot, everyone said she looked like her, but to her, she looked more like that person.
She silently looked at Little Clementine, and Little Clementine looked back at her.
As evening fell, the sunset slowly sank below the horizon, leaving only a hint of lingering light in the sky.
There were probably some Chinese people in the neighborhood, they had hung red lanterns on several tall trees, the lanterns were hidden in the night, shining brightly, red and vibrant.
Street lights came on one after another; under the quiet, peaceful glow, New Year’s Eve slowly arrived.
Jasmine Yale sat in the bedroom for a long time.
Little Clementine grew impatient, occasionally poking her.
After feeding Little Clementine, Jasmine Yale picked out a thick, off-white long coat from the wardrobe, tied her hair into a small ponytail, and changed shoes.
"Miss Yale, are you going out?" Butler Santana saw her changing shoes, surprised.
"Butler Santana, please look after Little Clementine, I’m going out for a while. If anything happens, call me." Jasmine Yale tied her scarf.
"When will you be back? Are you still going to eat dumplings?"
"Save me a portion, please. This is Little Clementine’s and my first New Year’s Eve."
"Alright, Little Clementine and I will wait for you to come back."
"I’ll head out first."
"Be careful on the road, wear more clothes, and put on your gloves too." Butler Santana reminded her.
Jasmine Yale nodded, took the keys, and went out.
Her heart was calm, without much ripple.
It was really cold outside.
Jasmine Yale buried her little head in a thick scarf, her hands tucked into her coat pockets, her indifferent eyes quietly looking ahead.
Lake Water, she didn’t know this place well.
When the taxi stopped, she realized the place was quite lively, decorated with lights, under the night sky, there was a bit of New Year’s Eve atmosphere.
She stood in the wind for a long time, slightly raising her head.
She didn’t know what she was looking at, perhaps the restaurant, perhaps the small lanterns, or maybe... the bright moon in the sky.
New Year’s Eve, in a foreign country.
The neon lights were colorful; here, it was Cakago, after all, there wouldn’t be the strong New Year’s atmosphere like in Landon.
As a child, she loved the New Year, because every New Year, she had winter break, and he was home too.
Despite being under the same roof, he spent most of his time in the study, and they didn’t meet often.
Even though it wasn’t often, she was especially joyful.
At that time, she always felt that with him there, it was truly New Year.
