Chapter 170 Ethan Plans to Spoil Jasmine

That night, Casey felt abandoned like a latchkey kid as the Taylor family seemed to ignore his existence. There were talks that the Taylor family's finances were tight and Jordan's parents were too swamped to attend to their son.

It appeared Jordan was passed out drunk, possibly in some woman's bed.

Lisa was also drunk, out cold at the Douglas estate.

Jasmine couldn't trust the Taylor's servant to pick up Casey, so she carefully convinced Ethan to let the child stay.

Casey excitedly held Justin's hand but contained his enthusiasm without yelling or screaming.

The truth was, kids fear loneliness the most, and the presence of a playmate seemingly brought them a lot of joy.

"Good thing I got Justin a bigger toddler bed," Ethan said as he leaned against the doorframe, admiring the newly redecorated children's room, and ruffled Justin's hair. "With your height, buddy, isn't it much more comfortable now?"

Justin raced into the bathroom, delighted to find that the sink had been lowered, allowing him to reach it with ease. "You're the best, Dad."

Ethan's lips curled into a proud smile at the compliment.

"All right, you two need to brush up and hit the sack. You've got school tomorrow and pretty soon you'll be moving up to elementary. You've got to study hard, okay?" Jasmine gently coaxed them as she escorted the two little ones to brush their teeth. Ethan didn't want Jasmine to handle everything alone, so he lifted Justin up to squeeze the toothpaste and handed him a brand-new frog-themed toothbrush.

"I really like the toothbrush," said Justin, his face lighting up. He liked everything his dad gave him.

Casey eyed the toothbrush Jasmine handed to him; it was a pink piglet. "Auntie Jasmine, why is my toothbrush pink? Pink is for little girls and I'm a tough guy."

Jasmine couldn't help but chuckle at Casey's complaint. "Who says pink is just for girls? Boys can rock pink too."

Suddenly, Jasmine's cheeks flushed as she realized what Casey had called her...

Ethan snickered to himself, clearly pleased with the moniker.

"I want the little frog." Casey, being spoiled rotten at home, pointed at Justin's frog toothbrush, indicating his preference for green instead.

"Casey, you're a guest in our house, and guests need to be polite. You can't just take whatever you want, got it?" Ethan laid out the rules for Casey.
