“Don’t rush to go with him as soon as he arrives to pick you up. Let him experience some anxiety. I’ll inform my parents to disregard any noise outside,” she said.
“He enjoys dismissing me when he throws a fit. He might already be back at the manor. I don’t expect him to come for me since he’s been giving me the cold shoulder,” Serenity remarked with a hint of sarcasm.
“Perhaps that’s for the best. We can both take a moment to calm down. I need to reflect and stop being so hard on myself. Whatever happens, let’s explore our farming fields tomorrow,” she suggested.
Jasmine smiled and replied, “Of course! I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go.”
“I’ll only take a day from your busy schedule. Your engagement with Mr. Bucham is approaching. You won’t have much free time. Jasmine, things are going well between you and Mr. Bucham. While you may not have a whirlwind romance, you have something genuine in the everyday.”
Jasmine and Josh had never fought.
Josh had a high emotional intelligence and a good temperament, unlike Zachary, who was accustomed to others complying with him. Although Zachary tried hard to change for Serenity, his arrogance as an heir sometimes took precedence.
“Seren, your relationship with Mr. York is strong too. Occasionally squabbling won’t alter how you feel about each other. You can only grow from here,” Jasmine reassured her.
Serenity fell silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s head back. I had a bit too much to drink last night, and my head is pounding since I haven’t caught up on sleep today.”
“Sure,” Jasmine replied.
She walked home with her best friend and even told her parents to enjoy their sleep and not worry about what might happen that night.
“Dad, should we let the hounds out tonight?”
Mr. Sox replied, “I don’t keep them on a leash at night.”
Serenity followed Jasmine upstairs to her room.
“Put on my clothes, Seren. I have plenty of options.”
“I have some new clothes that I haven’t worn. We’re about the same size, so my clothes should fit you,” Jasmine said. She went to her closet to retrieve the new clothes for Serenity.
As Serenity moved closer to the window and pulled back the curtain to look outside, Jasmine glanced downstairs and remarked, “My dogs will bark when he arrives.”
“Will your dogs bite if they’re not on a leash?” Serenity asked.
With a grin, Jasmine replied, “We lock the gate at night, so the dogs can’t get out to bite anyone. The most they do is bark. But it would be a different story if Mr. York decides to climb the fence.” Would Zachary really climb over the fence?
