Chapter 188 Jasmine Resembled Nolan Cunningham's Mother
Exhausted to the point of drowsiness, Jasmine nestled in Ethan's embrace until early the next morning.
"Ready for breakfast?" Ethan, freshly showered, sat on the edge of the bed to wake Jasmine.
Jasmine rubbed her swollen eyes.
"Good morning, Mr. Ethan," her voice came out hoarse as she spoke.
She hung her head, her eyes rimmed with redness. The night before, she had cried until her voice grew hoarse. Ethan had gone too rough on her.
"I'll take you to the beach later," Ethan said as he lifted her chin and kissed her cheek.
His action made Jasmine wonder why he was so fond of her.
"Can you swim?" he asked, gently tousling her hair.
"Yes, I can!" she eagerly answered, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
It wasn't just swimming she was good at; she had even set a little record in diving.
"That's awesome." Ethan rose and sat on the nearby couch to wait for Jasmine to change into her swimsuit.
Jasmine's ears turned red, caught off guard by Ethan's sudden change in demeanor; he was coaxing her like a child.
Moreover, she was surprised to find that Ethan seemed to be getting closer to her.
He liked to steal kisses when they were alone, to cheer her up, to hold her hand.
It was like... they were a couple deep in love.
Startled by her own thoughts, Jasmine felt a surge of fear. Ethan's newfound interest in her was likely just temporary; she shouldn't let her mind run away with possibilities...
Her heartbeat slowed, and with a calm mind, Jasmine got out of bed, got washed up, and changed into her swimsuit.
She had chosen a simple, one-piece tank suit with a little skirt.
Her skin was pale, and wearing the white swimsuit accentuated her figure beautifully. Ethan, sitting on the couch, was initially excited, but he frowned when he saw Jasmine in her swimsuit and covered her with a bathrobe. "I don't want anyone else seeing you like this."
Jasmine stammered, "Then, then let's not go."
