Divorce Time 298

Chapter 298

Jasmine, ever the polite and unflustered young lady, said, "Thank you, Mr. Ramirez."

"Don't mention it," Abelard replied, glancing at Jasmine a bit more thoughtfully. With a smile, he added, "She's more like Thorne, isn't she?" Charlene nodded, "That's right."

Abelard chuckled, "Whether she takes after Thorne or you, she's going to be just fine."

Charlene listened, her eyes lowering in a gentle smile, choosing not to reply.

Abelard continued, "So, has my troublesome son made peace with you yet?"

Charlene shook her head with a slight grin, "If anything, the tension's gotten worse."

Abelard laughed, "Well, that's just dandy."

He seemed entirely unfazed, saying, "He's had it too easy for too long. A little lesson won't hurt him; in fact, I'm looking forward to it."
