They disapprove of their appreciative children while favoring others who couldn\u2019t care less about them.\u201d Serenity paused for a moment before responding, \u201cThese parents hurt the children who genuinely care, while their favored children end up causing them pain instead. Some siblings never form close bonds and may even cut ties after their parents pass away due to the preferential treatment among them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019m fortunate that my family isn\u2019t like that. My grandparents treat us all equally; there are no favorites or least favorites. My uncles are also kind, and we have a great relationship with our cousins,\u201d Jasmine stated.<\/div>\n<div>After that, Serenity chose not to contribute further to the conversation. She found herself wishing for a family like Jasmine\u2019s.<\/div>\n<div>Her relationship with her cousins was not good.<\/div>\n<div>Ring, ring, ring\u2026<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine\u2019s phone rang.<\/div>\n<div>Thinking it was Josh, Jasmine took out her phone and told her best friend, \u201cHe hasn\u2019t called me all day. I think he\u2019s starting to lose interest.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity responded playfully, \u201cMr. Bucham loves you to the moon and back. He will never get bored of you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLike attracts like. My man is committed, so I\u2019m sure his best friends share the same outlook on love. Don\u2019t worry; Mr. Bucham has been single for so long, waiting for the right woman to come along, and that woman is you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s not Josh. It\u2019s my brother.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity murmured, \u201cOh, it\u2019s not Mr. Bucham\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She had assumed Josh was calling to ask Jasmine out for dinner.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity had informed Zachary that she met Shawn, but he had not responded. She wondered if Zachary might be feeling jealous.<\/div>\n<div>She had merely run into Shawn, and their encounter lasted no more than five minutes. Surely, the man wouldn\u2019t feel jealous\u2026 right?<\/div>\n<div>With his lack of response, Zachary was\u2026<\/p>\n<p>He was likely busy at work. After all, Zachary was the CEO of York Corporation, and time was money for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrake.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine answered her brother\u2019s call. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Is something happening at home?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome home quickly, Jas! You need to see this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drake sounded excited on the phone, urging Jasmine to hurry back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine was bursting with curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is this something I need to see?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drake replied with a grin, \u201cI can\u2019t tell you right now. Just come home as soon as you can. It\u2019s something good, I promise. Hurry!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBastard! Just tell me! What is it? Did something good happen at home? Did Dad win the lottery? Are you bringing your girlfriend home?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sox had developed a habit of buying lottery tickets. Although he had never won anything, it was his guilty pleasure. He always picked the same set of numbers, convinced that they would eventually bring him a jackpot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I wouldn\u2019t tell you to hurry home if I were bringing my girlfriend. Stop asking, Jas. I told you it\u2019s something good. Just get back here quickly. Ask Serenity to cover the shop tonight or close early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine glanced at the clock\u2014school was about to let out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrake, just spill it already. The kids will be out of school soon, which means we\u2019ll be busy at the shop. This better be worth it; unless the sky is falling, I won\u2019t be back until after six.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1221 Jasmine sighed and remarked, \u201cSome parents can be quite perplexing.
