Chapter 85 You Deserve To Know Nothing
It was evening. Jasmine was reading through some files in her room. Thanksgiving went by in a blur—Kingsley was absent. She had to spend Thanksgiving with her parents.
Nicole and Hailey also came over to the Trevor mansion and they all spent Thanksgiving together while her husband—Kingsley Elm was on a ’trip’ or maybe he just wanted to avoid her.
Because who works on Thanksgiving day??
Jasmine sent him a few texts which he either replied with a word or two. His irritating character got on her nerves so she stopped texting.
And since she stopped texting, he hadn’t sent her any messages for three days. But she often heard when he called Mrs Jenkins and Mrs Jenkins relayed messages and events to him.
In as much as Jasmine tried not to think about the hollowness, it was still there. So, instead, she buried herself with work. She even brought some unfinished work to the house to work on until she fell asleep eventually. It was her remedy since she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
And tonight wasn’t different. She was sitting on a chair while finishing off some work on her laptop. She was so immersed in it that she didn’t realize when her door was pushed open from the outside.
Kingsley’s eyes spotted her at her work table, typing away with her fingers dancing across the keyboard.
It’s been weeks since they last had a conversation and to be honest—he was sad about it. But nothing would change.
So instead of wasting each other’s time—instead of stalling her here where he would only get even more annoyed and won’t treat her right because of the past that was hunting him—then, he would rather see her leave.
He didn’t attend a business trip. He went to Raymond’s condo to go into seclusion. He thought long and hard but nothing seemed to have changed. The way he saw Jasmine—her whole being reminded him of her father who ruined his life.
