Chapter 300

Jasmine had just hung up with Charlene when the car Thorne sent for her arrived.

In the end, Jasmine didn’t wait for Charlene to come back and got into the car.

When she reached the private room, she rushed into Thorne and Vesta’s arms. “Dad, Ms. Hawkins!”

Thorne chuckled, ruffling her hair, while Vesta helped her put her backpack aside.

Inside the room, Granger, Moran, and Leah were already there.

Seeing how much Jasmine missed Thorne and Vesta, Moran teased, “Thorne, I told you guys should have taken Minnie with you on your trip abroad. Look how much she missed you in just a few days. If you had stayed away any longer, she might have started crying.”

Moran’s comment made it sound like Jasmine had been neglected while staying with Charlene.

Before Thorne or Vesta could respond, Granger changed the topic, asking, “Did you have fun while we were away, Minnie?”

Jasmine sat down and replied, “Yeah, Mom took me to see a movie, play some VR games, and we had dinner.”

Moran quipped, “That’s all?”

“Yup,” Jasmine shrugged, unconcerned. “Mom’s been really busy, so she didn’t have much time to spend with

me.”

Moran assumed Jasmine meant Charlene was busy dealing with the holiday season’s social obligations.

After all, he and Granger had been through that themselves. They’d been swamped since the end of last year, juggling family gatherings and work, and only now managed to find a moment to relax and catch up with Thorne and Granger.
