Right then, Arielle and Vinson arrived.
“You’re incredible, Jasmine!” Arielle squatted down and picked up Jasmine.
When Arielle stood up once again, Vinson immediately took the girl away from her mother’s embrace. He just didn’t want Arielle to get too exhausted.
“Daddy, did you panic when I left with Uncle Aaron?” Jasmine wrapped her arms around Vinson’s neck and looked at him innocently.
Vinson hummed in response, but he then noticed how dissatisfied Jasmine was with his answer.
Hence, he added, “I did! That’s why I came here right away.”
Upon hearing that, Jasmine was thrilled, and she planted a kiss on Vinson’s cheek.
After that, she uttered proudly, “That’s your reward!”
Vinson couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard that.
What a silly girl!
Celeste, the Queen Mother, was standing awkwardly nearby. She had missed Jasmine, someone she considered her granddaughter, dearly.
“Arielle, I…” Celeste wanted to tell Arielle that she wasn’t the one who asked Jasmine to address her as “Grandmother”.
However, Arielle interrupted her by saying, “She’s supposed to address you so.”
After all, Celeste was her father’s wife. Moreover, she was Aaron’s mother. In other words, Celeste was Jasmine’s grandmother. Also, Arielle knew how sad and depressing Celeste’s life was.
