Chapter 446

After Jasmine Henderson had stayed with the Ross family for three days, her phone rang one evening while Charlene Ross was in the bedroom, towel-drying her hair.

excitement in her voice. "Mom, it's Dad!"

Charlene just murmured an acknowledgment, and Jasmine quickly answered, putting the call on speaker. "Dad!"

Thorne Henderson's voice came through, warm and familiar. “Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yeah, I have!" Jasmine replied cheerfully.

After a bit of small talk, Thorne finally got to the point. "Remember, tomorrow we're going out with Ms. Hawkins, just like we planned. I'll be sending someone to pick you up soon."
