Josh was far from impressed. He had asked Jasmine out numerous times, yet her parents remained unaware of his intentions toward their daughter.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Sox mistakenly believed that Mr. Bucham was interested in Drake.
Josh was left speechless.
Jasmine answered her mother’s call.
“Mom p>
Jasmine said cheerfully, “What can I do for you, dear mother p>
“Don’t be smart with me. Come home early tonight; we’re going to your aunt’s for dinner p>
Jasmine asked cautiously, “What’s the occasion for dinner at Aunt Rachel’s p>
Mrs. Sox paused before whispering, “Is Serenity with you p>
“No p>
“Good. Shawn is back, but only for a few days. Your aunt has missed him since he went to Havenmill. Mothers are always the same; we can’t help but worry when our children are far away. Now that Shawn is back for a short visit, your aunt wants to organize a get-together p>
Frowning, Jasmine glanced at Josh and voiced her concern. “Mom, is Shawn going to try anything p>
Zachary and Serenity were not in a good place right now, and Jasmine hoped her lovestruck cousin wouldn’t see this as a chance to intervene, as it could end badly for him.
Regardless, Shawn was her cousin, and Jasmine did not want anything to happen to him.
Aunt Rachel mentioned that they sent Shawn to work at the branch office in Havenmill, where he was not to disclose that he was the heir of the Lowes. He was starting from the ground up at the branch office and could not return to Wiltspoon without his parents’ permission.
Shawn’s father had frozen his bank account, leaving him without an allowance or a car. Consequently, Shawn had to work to earn his wages.
Since the
The branch office in Havenmill did not provide accommodations, so Shawn had to rent a place and cover the rent, water, and electricity bills with his salary. For someone who was born with a silver spoon, life had become difficult for Shawn. However, his parents made these sacrifices to protect him and Lowe Enterprise. Recently, York Corporation had given the Lowes some leeway, allowing Mr. and Mrs. Lowe to breathe a sigh of relief, confident they had made the right decision. Jasmine was thankful that Zachary had eased off her aunt and uncle. It slipped her mind that she owed that relief to Josh. Zachary had ceased his pursuit out of respect for both Josh and Jasmine, but primarily for Josh, who was interested in Jasmine. Jasmine’s close relationship with her aunt provided a strong enough reason for Zachary to stay away from Lowe Enterprise. It was clear that Zachary and Josh should recognize when to back off, especially since the Lowes had sent Shawn to Havenmill, a city far from Wiltspoon.
“I doubt Shawn will do anything,” Mrs. Sox sighed. “Your aunt informed him that Serenity is Mrs. York before he left for Havenmill. He lost all hope and went there. He hasn’t been in touch with his family p>
“He has time now that his office is closed for the next two days. He has his wages to pay for the trip home p>
Mrs. Sox was surprised to learn that Shawn had a crush on Serenity. Unfortunately, his love confession came too late; by then, Serenity was already committed to someone else.
