The Contract Marriage

Chapter 223

Mrs. Brown originally planned to treat Jasmine to dinner at her house tonight.

Ever since her son crashed into her car last time, not only did Jasmine not pursue the matter, she even terminated the marriage between her son and Mila. This had always made her feel very fortunate.

If a girl like Mila really married into her family, then her son would definitely not be happy for the rest of his life.

Two days ago, she went to Sarah’s house to find Samantha to chat. At that time, Mrs. Brown accidentally found out that Jasmine liked her son.

To Mrs. Brown, this news was shocking news. One must know that the Wilson Group was not an ordinary company. When she thought about how she would have such a daughter-in-law in the future, that would be a blessing that she had built up in a few lifetimes.

So today, Mrs. Brown could not suppress the excitement in her heart. Early in the morning, she let Mr. Brown accompany her to the market to buy vegetables. After breakfast, she even specially went to the supermarket with her husband to buy some fruits.

She thought about coming to Jasmine at noon today and telling her to go to her house for dinner tonight. But who knew that after preparing for half a day, when she came to Jasmine’s office, she would see such an awkward scene.

Mrs. Brown felt disappointed and stopped a taxi at the side of the road. Then, she went straight to her son’s hotel.

David was busy looking at the renovations of the new hotel in the hotel office. When he saw his mother walk in, he was a little surprised. “Mom, why are you here?”

Mrs. Brown looked at her son and closed the office door. She walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked at him and asked directly, “David, let me ask you. Are you dating Jasmine now?”

David smiled and did not answer his mother directly. He got up and sat opposite his mother. “Mom, what do you want to say?”

“David! I went to Sarah’s house two days ago and heard from Samantha that Jasmine likes you and says that you are 80% compatible with her. I was so happy in my heart when I heard about this. This morning, I brought your dad to the market to buy groceries and even specially made a trip to the supermarket to buy fruits. I originally wanted to invite Jasmine to our house for dinner tonight, but who knew that I just went to her company. . .” Mrs. Brown shook her head as she spoke.

“Mom, you went to Jasmine’s company just now?” David finally understood what his mother said. He looked at his mother and asked.

“Yes! I waited at the entrance of their company. Jasmine’s car came back and she took me to her office. . .” Mrs. Brown could not help but sigh when she said this.

“Mom, why do you need to look for Jasmine when you have nothing to do? There is nothing much between us. You can forget about my matters in the future. . .” David looked at Mrs. Brown helplessly. He really did not want his mother to interfere in his matters.

“Look at what you are saying. I am your mother. How can I not care about your marriage? Besides, if I didn’t go to her office today, I wouldn’t know that she has a fiancé. David, I’m sure you don’t know either, right?”

David was stunned by his mother’s words. He frowned slightly and asked, “What fiancé? Why didn’t I hear her mention it?”

“Aiya, the two of them hugged each other when they saw each other. They even kissed in front of me. Isn’t your mother’s thinking too backward? Is it always like this when young people meet nowadays?”

Mrs. Brown looked at her son, shook her head, and sighed. “Let me tell you, David, no matter how rich Jasmine’s family is, we can’t have this kind of daughter-in-law!”

David listened to his mother’s silence for a moment, then looked at his mother and said, “Mom, I know about this. I still have things to do. You should go back first!”

“No! You have to promise me today no matter what. That kind of girl. . . Our Brown family can’t accept it no matter what! If you hugged and kissed another man in front of me, your future mother-in-law, what kind of manners do you have? Promise me before I leave!” Mrs. Brown sat on the sofa gloomily.

“What can I promise you? I have nothing to say. Mom, don’t interfere in my own matters. I will investigate this matter clearly. That should be fine, right?”

“What else do you want to investigate? Your mother saw it clearly! What else do you want to investigate? Do you think your mother is framing her?”

“Then what you mean is that you want your son to be single for the rest of his life?” David looked at his mother helplessly and asked.

“I. . . I didn’t say that. . . I just wanted to help you pass the test.” When Mrs. Brown heard her son’s words, she instantly lost half of her anger.

“Mom, with that kind of family and identity of Jasmine, it’s normal for her to have a boyfriend in the past. I was even married in the past. If you think like this, then I don’t have to marry for the rest of your life. I know better than you what kind of person Jasmine is. You don’t have to worry about her anymore. Why don’t you go home now?” David walked to the sofa and helped his mother stand up.

“You mean I don’t have to worry about it anymore?” Mrs. Brown looked at her son and was still a little worried.

“What do you think?” David smiled and then looked at his mother sincerely. “Mom, I will take care of my own business. Don’t meddle in my business anymore. Wasn’t Mila a living example last time? If you really wish for your son to be happy, then learn to let go first. As long as you don’t care about anything, I promise to get a daughter-in-law for you to bring back. Is that okay?”

you said!”

“But. . . Must it be Jasmine?” Mrs. Brown still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t deny Jasmine just because you saw her just now. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s talk about the 18 million yuan car. If she really wanted me to return it, do you think your son would be like this?”

“That’s true. . . But, we can’t betray our personality because of money, right?”

David could not help but laugh. “Mom, you still don’t know my personality. Don’t worry, your son is not that kind of person. I will handle it myself. Don’t worry!”

“Okay, I will go back first.” Mrs. Brown heard her son’s words and nodded in relief. She walked out of her son’s office.

David sent his mother downstairs and watched her take a taxi and leave. He then returned to his office and sat down at the boss’s table. He looked at the drawings of the renovations on the computer and thought of what his mother had just said.

His eyes flashed, as he picked up the phone on the table and wanted to call Jasmine, but he looked at the phone and was silent for a while. In the end, he put it back.

After chasing Charlie away, Jasmine suddenly remembered that Mrs. Brown was also at the scene. She sat on the leather chair and thought for a while. She then picked up her phone, found David’s number and wanted to call him.

But thinking that if the phone was connected, what should she say to him? It was already five years ago that Charlie was with her. But if she didn’t say it, would Mrs. Brown have misunderstood?

Jasmine thought about the appointment with David to go to the movie tonight. She put her phone back.

No matter what happened between her and Charlie, she would explain it to him after she settled it!

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Jasmine called David first. When she found out that he was about to reach the building of Wilson Group, she immediately took her bag and went downstairs.

When Jasmine walked to the company’s lobby, David’s car also drove quickly. After a moment, it stopped steadily beside her. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Jasmine opened the car door and sat in. Seeing her sit properly, David stepped on the accelerator lightly and drove the car away.

The car drove for a distance and Jasmine looked at David who was beside her. “David, your mom came to find me today. . . “

“How did you know?”

hotel this afternoon.”

anything?”

David turned to look at her, then looked ahead. “She didn’t say anything. She just wanted to see you.”

The car soon arrived at the cinema. The two of them randomly picked a movie. Actually, Jasmine was not really interested in watching a movie. She just wanted to watch a movie with David.

After the movie, the two of them left the movie theater. They found a small restaurant on the pedestrian street and went to have dinner. Only then did David send her back to the Wilson Family villa.

When the car stopped, Jasmine sat there without moving. She looked at David, who was beside her, and then looked away.

“What’s wrong? Do you have something you want to tell me?”

“Yeah, I think there are some things I need to be clear with you about. In case there are any misunderstandings between us in the future. . .” Since watching the movie until now, she had a kind of indescribable feeling. She had a straightforward personality to begin with. She felt that if she did not say some things, she would feel stifled and uncomfortable in her heart.

David heard her words and smiled. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

“Five years ago, I had a boyfriend. His name was Charlie. He had been running his own business in France. At that time, I really liked him, and I was only 23 at that time. I didn’t know anything, so I walked with him. . .” Jasmine said and lowered her head with some regret. “I never thought that he would come to me again one day. This afternoon when your mom went to my office, he was in my office. . .”

“Then do you still have feelings for him now?”

“No. Although we broke up all these years, I heard from others about him. He came to me now because his company declared bankruptcy, so he came back to find me to help him. . .”

David looked at her lowering her head. He reached out to take her hand and gently held it in his palm. “You don’t need to feel sorry for me. Didn’t I also register and marry someone else? No matter what happened between you and Charlie in the past, it has nothing to do with me. I also liked Sarah before, so we can be considered to be even. Don’t think too much. Just settle Charlie’s matter properly.”

“Do you really not mind?”

David raised his hand and gently brushed the hair on her forehead. He smiled and said, “Why do I find that you have become less and less confident ever since you know me?”

“No matter how confident I am, I am still afraid of losing. David, I am afraid of losing you. . .”

He was right. Since the moment she fell in love with David, she had become more and more worried about her personal gains and losses.

David smiled and reached out to hold her in his arms. He patted her on the back and comforted her, “Don’t think too much about anything. It’s you who will never run away, understand?”

Jasmine nodded. ” Yes. . .”

“I believe you will handle Charlie’s matter well. If you need me to step in, remember to call me at any time.”

David let go of her and caressed her face with a smile. “Hurry up and go in. Good night.”
