Divorce Time

Chapter 285

Given the current situation, it’s likely that Jasmine will be spending New Year with the Henderson family.

Helena felt a twinge of sadness at the thought of Jasmine being away and also felt sorry for Charlene.

Charlene, however, remained composed and reassured Helena, saying, “Grandma, I’m alright. As long as Minnie is happy, that’s what matters.”

Helena suspected Charlene was just putting on a brave face to keep her from worrying.

With a quiet sigh, Helena decided not to press the matter further

After breakfast, Charlene and Maisie headed out to do some last–minute New Year shopping.

The shopping district was decked out with festive lights, and familiar carols filled the air, creating a strong holiday spirit.

Maisie and the others had already done a round of shopping, so this trip was more about tying up loose ends.

Children on the street were already donning festive sweaters and holding adorable little Santa lanterns.

Charlene paused, watching a little girl skipping along the street. It reminded her of the New Year outfits she used to buy for Jasmine before she left with Thorne overseas.
