Chapter 87
Chapter 87 Reunion
David looked at Jazmine, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze. A wave of unbearable bitterness welled up from the bottom of
his heart. He had watched this woman climb up her ladder step by step in the past few
years.
His heart ached.
“Jazmine, you don’t need to be on tenterhooks anymore. Because you are already strong enough, and you don’t have to push
yourself so hard.”
Jazmine leaned against the sofa, her eyes half–narrowed. There was a hint of fatigue on her face.
She did not have any reaction to David’s words. For so many years, she had been grateful for his encouragement and care for
her.
Right now, she just felt sorry for him.
She raised her eyes and looked at him. After five years passed, David was no longer high–spirited. Her heart instantly hurt.
“I’m sorry. I ruined your life.”
David was stunned.
Then, he realized what she meant and half–knelt down. He leaned closer to her and said, “Jazmine, why did you say that to me?
We don’t have to be like this.”
She could see his nervousness, making her feel even more guilty.
Jazmine felt the guiltiest when facing him.
“You should know that your happiness means everything to me. If you feel guilty, I hate myself even more.”
David smiled bitterly.
The eagerness in his eyes was like a large net that bound Jazmine.
“Why do you have to do this?” Jazmine felt that she would always owe him.
She knew what David wanted, but she could not give it to him. Now, she was determined to deal with Giancarlo and Yoselin
intently.
As for David, she hoped that he could enjoy his life.
She told him about her thoughts.
However, David smiled. “You know, since a long time ago, protecting you has become my life. If you don’t let me stay by your
side now, that will kill me.”
Jazmine felt both bitter and touched. Why was there such a big difference between men?
“I really am not worth it.”
David was unhappy. “Jazmine, whether you are worth it or not is up to me. What you should consider now is how to explain to
Jennie about your ‘resurrection‘.”
Jazmine was stunned.
Her friend Jennie still did not know that she had “come back to life“. In order to better fake her death, she had planned to
temporarily hide it from Jennie. However, what she did not expect was that her body had a very serious reaction and she almost
died.
David was busy dealing with it and did not tell Jennie the truth.
After that, he was even more afraid to tell Jennie about it. Half a year later, Jennie went on a journey around
the world.
Jazmine felt that he should not ruin Jennie’s mood. When everything was settled, he would tell her. Half a year ago, Jennie had
returned. And Jazmine returned half a year later.
She suddenly felt a little afraid.
“I...”
David knew Jazmine very well. She had always wanted to see Jennie, but she had always been afraid to see Jennie. He knew
that if she continued to retreat, she would regret it more and more. Therefore, he decided to call Jennie.
At this moment, Jennie should be on her way here.
At the door, a roar suddenly sounded.
“Jazmine, you bad woman, get the hell out here.”
It was Jennie.
Jazmine was shocked. Seeing the smile on David’s face, she instantly understood that he was the one who had
called Jennie for her.
“If you don’t dare to face it, I will help you.‘
David said as he prepared to get up.
Jazmine stopped him, stood up, and walked towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, they looked at each other.
Jazmine noticed that Jennie’s appearance had not changed much, but her hair was cut short, and she looked much more
capable.
However, Jennie felt that Jazmine had completely turned into another person in terms of her behavior and her overall
appearance. Jennie felt unfamiliar to her. After looking at her for a long time, Jennie suddenly said, “Who exactly are you? Where
is my bestie?”
Jazmine felt inexplicably sad.
She thought, oh, my girl!
“I am Jazmine.”
Her voice had also changed quite a bit!
If not for the fact that her face hadn’t changed much, Jennie really wouldn’t have recognized Jazmine.
In her memory, her best friend was born into a wealthy family, but she was not arrogant at all. She always had a smile on her
face in her life. Moreover, she was optimistic. She was innocent and kind.
But now, Jazmine, who was standing in front of Jennie, had been ruthlessly beaten by life. When she crawled back from hell, she
was like an exceptionally sharp knife. She was very sharp, and she could hurt others.
Even though Jazmine was smiling right now, Jennie still felt that she was aloof.
Jennie was originally very dissatisfied with Jazmine, who lied to her. The moment Jennie saw her good friend, however, Jennie
was relieved.
Jennie did not even want to ask what her good friend had experienced in the past few years. Jazmine must have had a very
difficult time. The memories must be painful. It was good that Jazmine came back safely. Jennie decided to let it go.
“Damn, you should have told me before you ‘died‘ that you were afraid that I would be seen through by Giancarlo. Then I would
have traveled like that.” Jennie was about to cry.
Jazmine looked at her good friend and felt even more bitter in her heart.
She took the initiative to go forward and hold the trembling Jennie in her arms.
In the past, she always leaned into Jennie’s embrace for comfort and warmth. The feeling of holding Jennie in her arms for the
first time was really wonderful.
“I’m sorry.”
Jennie seemed to have noticed that she had become weak. She ran out of Jazmine’s arms unnaturally and said with a serious
face, “Hey, don’t try to take advantage of me.”
Jazmine smiled. “Okay, I won’t.”
Jennie saw that Jazmine’s smile had become so reserved, and her heart hurt. She pursed her lips and walked
into the house.
When she saw David, she snorted coldly. “You are a jerk. You know that Jazmine is still alive, but you didn’t
tell me. You were killing me.
IT
“Hush, don’t be so loud.” Jazmine was afraid that Jennie’s loud voice would wake her daughter up.
Jennie was confused when she saw that Jazmine was so nervous.
A voice came from the stairs. “Mommy, what are you talking about? It’s so noisy.”
The soft voice was full of sleepiness. The three adults raised their heads in unison and saw Nina, who was
wearing a pink nightgown and rubbing her eyes. Her face was full of sleepiness as she leaned against the wall.
Jennie’s eyes lit up. “Oh my goodness, who is this little princess?”
