Fated love: the unwanted bride
Chapter 2247: Tears Like Relentless Raindrops
Jasmine Yale’s face turned pale, she clutched Aunt Camden’s hand, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Aunt Camden, I really didn’t expect it to come to this, but it’s no use saying anything now. Yukon got hurt because of me, I will take care of him. Aunt Camden, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."
Jasmine felt a heavy burden in her heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
She knew Aunt Camden’s whole family treated her well, but what did she count as doing, repaying kindness with ingratitude?
Yukon Carbon had a promising future, being bedridden for two months was surely a fate worse than death.
"Don’t cry, pregnant women shouldn’t cry." Aunt Camden wiped her tears away, "Besides, Yukon can’t bear to see you crying, if he knows you’re crying in front of me, he’ll scold me."
"Aunt Camden, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
Aunt Camden was silent for a while.
She used her cold fingers to wipe away Jasmine’s tears, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
In the corridor, only Jasmine’s low sobs remained.
After a long time.
Aunt Camden finally said slowly, "Jasmine... I have something to say to you."
Jasmine nodded, "Go ahead."
"I plan to close the bakery and move with Yukon’s father to Old York, Yukon’s job transfer has also been delayed, so... our whole family plans to move to Old York." Aunt Camden’s face was very calm, each word clear, "You don’t need to feel guilty or anything, actually meeting you made Yukon very happy, he truly loves you sincerely. But people need to look forward, life goes on."
"I only have Yukon as my son, he grew up smoothly without hardships, neither financially nor mentally. He never had a girlfriend before, when he liked you, I was happy, then I thought you two would end up together, and later form a happy family."
"But, fate doesn’t fulfill all of one’s wishes, you never developed feelings for Yukon. Jasmine, it’s not your fault, I also advised Yukon to try meeting other girls. But, Yukon is stubborn from an early age, he doesn’t like listening to what we say."
"Even after knowing you’re pregnant, he insisted on taking care of you, trying to make you happy. I once asked him, for what? He just smiled and said, not all efforts in this world are made in exchange for rewards, if you have to ask for what, maybe he just wanted to see you happy."
Aunt Camden’s tone was very calm.
But when Jasmine heard this, she cried even harder.
Tears fell like unstoppable raindrops, "thud", "thud", continuously falling onto the back of her hand, no matter how she wiped them away, they wouldn’t stop.
"Yukon, though working in the scheming banking system, remained quite pure. Over the years, he never made me worry, even when I was unhappy, he would comfort me, he’s truly a good son. And I’ve done my best to be a good mother."
"Jasmine, you are also pregnant, you have a child. You should know, actually, as a mother, the greatest wish is for the child to be safe and happy, everything else is subsidiary, dispensable. And I am just an ordinary, not very great mother, I might also be somewhat selfish, selfish enough to... only wish my son is well, ordinary and stable."
"I don’t have many extravagant hopes, just want the whole family to be together. Be it ordinary or plain, as long as it’s happy, anything will do."
