Liberty chimed in after Jasmine, “Seren vomited after breakfast. Zachary was so worried. Aside from getting Serenity’s body checked at the hospital, he’s also going to ask the doctor for ways to ease her morning sickness.”Liberty smiled and said, “I think he’s so anxious that he’d rather be the one vomiting instead of Seren.”She was relieved to see her brother-in-law fussing over her sister. Serenity was definitely more fortunate than she was. Liberty and Hank used to be classmates. They dated for a long period before getting married and she got pregnant right after. The time Hank spent with her lessened because his career was taking off at that point. He always went out early in the morning and returned late at night. He did not even accompany her to prenatal checkups, let alone feel worried for her. He always told Serenity to attend those appointments with her. Liberty shook her head. She no longer wanted to recall her failed marriage with Hank. Jasmine said with a grin
Chapter 2190
Throughout her pregnancy thus far, Jasmine felt as if she was in prison because she did not have much freedom. She wondered how the York family would treat Serenity. Would Serenity also be restricted to only looking after the bookstore like her? “You’re past your first trimester, right? The pregnancy should be stable. You can go out and get some fresh air as long as it’s not a dangerous place. Don’t tire yourself out though. When you’re in your late stages of pregnancy, it’s best to avoid traveling far.”Jasmine got even more jealous upon hearing Grandma May’s words. She was not jealous of the old lady but of her friend. Grandma May’s words made Jasmine realize that Serenity would not be restricted to just being in Wiltspoon like her. The three of them chatted for a while before Jasmine took her leave. She did not go home. Instead, she had her bodyguards send her to York Corporation. When Jasmine arrived at the company, there was still half an hour before the employees’

Josh said, “The security guards remember the car you and Serenity usually use. They informed me after seeing that you’d arrived but didn’t enter.“I thought I had done something wrong because you didn’t visit me inside despite coming over. I was so scared that I ditched my work. I even rolled and crawled to leave my office.”Jasmine burst into laughter. Even the bodyguards could not hold their laughter in. However, they dared not laugh out loud like their missus. They simply turned their heads and stifled their chuckles. “You make me sound evil. Did you roll and crawl? I saw you running but not rolling or crawling. Since you said so, do you want to get down and perform how you rolled and crawled just now?”Josh said, “Since my wife wishes to see me rolling and crawling, I shall get out of the car and show you.”As he spoke, he was ready to exit the car. Jasmine pulled him back and complained, “Are you really doing it? I was just teasing you.”Josh chuckled and said, “I’ve said

Jasmine was a Wiltspoonian. Her family had become rich because they were relocated to make way for development in the past. “I don’t want to eat in a hotel, but heading home is a bit of a distance. I’m hungry.”Josh asked, “Isn’t the car stocked with your favorite snacks? Haven’t I told you to keep some snacks you like in the car? You can grab a bite whenever you’re out and not let yourself go hungry.”“I don’t leave the house much lately aside from going to the bookstore, so I didn’t prepare any snacks.”“We can pop by a supermarket later and buy some food for you. Let’s have lunch at your house. It’s nearby.”The Buchams’ house was quite a distance from York Corporation. However, the Soxes’ home was pretty nearby. “Okay,” Jasmine replied happily. She preferred returning to her house to have her mother’s home-cooked food, rather than the exotic, expensive food she had been having for every meal in her in-laws’ house.She found it utterly delicious and delightful, even if

Josh admitted that his parents and even uncles were obsessed with the baby in Jasmine’s womb since they discovered she was pregnant. They restricted her from doing many things and specified that she had to eat her three meals according to a dietician’s recommendations. They also did not allow her to go outside frequently for fear of her getting hurt. The elders of the Bucham family wanted Jasmine to stay home and rest for the fetus’s sake. Even if she wanted to go shopping, they would dissuade her from it and tell her to make a list of things she wanted to buy to be passed to the butler. Then, the butler would make the purchase.Even Serenity was traumatized by Jasmine being overprotected. Therefore, Serenity laid out rules with Zachary right after knowing she was pregnant. Having a comparison made things worse for Jasmine. Before Serenity got pregnant, Jasmine could not make any comments because Josh had been nice to her. When Serenity got pregnant, the York family and Zach

Josh did not like hearing his wife describe herself as ungrateful. She was the opposite of ungrateful. Jasmine simply wanted to spread her wings with her friends. He would not tie her down and would support whatever she wished to do. Jasmine raised her head while in his embrace. Josh lowered his head and pecked her lips. His eyes were filled with affection. He could not help himself from whispering something in her ears, which earned him a playful pinch and a push. Jasmine sat up with a blush painted on her face. Josh chuckled. However, since one of the bodyguards was driving, he could not do anything to the tempting woman by his side. “Stop by the pharmacy later. I want to buy some supplements for my in-laws,” Josh instructed the bodyguard. He and Jasmine had decided to return to her house spontaneously. Therefore, he did not prepare any gifts. Jasmine said, “We’re just going to my parents’ house. There’s no need to buy so many things. You always have plenty of bag
Chapter 2195
Mr. and Mrs. Sox had no idea that Josh and Jasmine were coming home for lunch. When they heard the car honking, Camila even told her husband, “Did I mishear? Why does it sound like it’s coming from our gate?”Jasmine’s parents were the only ones having lunch. The youngsters had to work and did not have time to eat at home while their parents were also out visiting relatives. Carlson said, “The dog didn’t bark. The honk’s probably not coming from outside our home. Maybe our neighbor’s son brought his girlfriend back again.”“When can our son bring his girlfriend back?”Camila sighed. Their daughter had gotten married, but their son still had no girlfriend. “Why are you anxious when our son isn’t even worried? He’s still young.”Next, the sound of the gate opening could be heard and the couple exchanged glances.Camila put down her cutleries and got up. She walked out of the house. She saw their dog facing the main gate and wagging its tail. “Jasmine’s back, Carlson.”
Chapter 2196
Whenever her family butchered a chicken, she only ate the thighs and wingettes, and would not eat the other parts. “Young mothers these days rarely experience nutrient deficiencies after giving birth. In the past, I could only eat a few chickens in the month after I gave birth. I wasn’t as fortunate as you are right now. “You bought so many things back again too. I’ve said not to buy anything. It’s a waste of money, and your dad and I can’t finish them.”Camila scolded her daughter for buying gifts again. Despite saying so, she still took the bags from her daughter’s hand. She was worried it would tire her daughter out. After entering the house, Carlson went into the kitchen and brought out extra sets of plates and cutleries. The two bodyguards had their lunch there too. They knew the Soxes never put on airs and were not particular about rules. If they did not sit and have lunch together, Mr. Bucham’s father-in-law would get angry too. “Is there bread, Mom? I want to have
