Chapter 211 Ethan Tears Up the Prenup

When Ethan returned, Jasmine had already prepared dinner. She was wearing an apron and had her hair tied up in a simple bun.

As she placed the dinner on the table, Jasmine greeted a returning Ethan with a smile. "Wash up, dinner's ready."

Ethan paused, setting Justin down.

Growing up amidst his parents' chilly relationship, Ethan had long resisted the notion of settling down and starting a family. Yet, in this moment, a sense of warmth enveloped him.

It felt akin to a weary traveler finally returning to the hearth after a prolonged journey.

"Mommy," Justin said after washing his tiny hands, obediently sitting at the dining table. "Today Casey didn't go to school."

This surprised Jasmine, and she turned to Ethan. "Casey didn't go to school?"

Ethan nodded, not wanting to pry into someone else's business. Perhaps the kid was just sick.

Jasmine didn't press further, seeing that Lisa seemed to dote on her son; she figured there was no need to worry too much.

"I've made a simple soup with pork ribs and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots," Jasmine murmured softly, hoping Ethan might broach the weightier topics lingering in the air.

But Ethan remained silent, the weight of undisclosed matters hanging heavily between them.

Jasmine's unease grew, a nagging sensation gnawing at her heart.

"Um... my mother caused a scene at the office and got arrested by the police," Jasmine ventured tentatively, her voice tinged with apprehension.

"Yeah, Richard called the police," Ethan replied, his survival instinct kicking in since May's identity was quite sensitive.

After all, May was Jasmine's mother, regardless of her transgressions.

"I hope she learns from this," Jasmine murmured, acutely aware of the trouble her mother's actions had wrought upon Ethan.

"I suppose some people will do anything for their own gain, even at the expense of family," Ethan mused, his words laden with skepticism rather than admonishment.
