Chapter 138: Family
Jasmine's POV
It's been two weeks since that happened. I just kept reminding myself not to think of it anymore because it would only ruin my focus on my job, though sometimes I can't really stop it.
“ Mommy,, are you alright?” my son asked me while I was busy working near our pool. I didn't go to the company right now because it would only stress me out, and Ryan would keep on asking me who I would choose between the four men.
I smiled at my son and pinched his cheeks, which made him pout. I laughed at him while he was looking at me.
“ I'm a good baby. Have you finished your food?” I asked him. He shook his head. I looked at his plate, and he hadn't really finished it.
“ Can I play games on my phone, Mom? My phone is still charging,” he said, which made me mess up his hair.

It's just that I'm always busy, but when I have free time, I eat whatever I want.While waiting for the food to be served on my table, I remembered the saleslady earlier.

When poor people meet rich people with
