Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 2193

Josh admitted that his parents and even uncles were obsessed with the baby in Jasmine’s womb since they discovered she was pregnant. They restricted her from doing many things and specified that she had to eat her three meals according to a dietician’s recommendations. They also did not allow her to go outside frequently for fear of her getting hurt.

The elders of the Bucham family wanted Jasmine to stay home and rest for the fetus’s sake.

Even if she wanted to go shopping, they would dissuade her from it and tell her to make a list of what she wanted to buy to be passed to the butler. The butler would buy the items for her.

Even Serenity was traumatized by Jasmine being overprotected. Therefore, she laid out rules with Zachary right after knowing she was pregnant.

Having a comparison made things worse for Jasmine.

Before Serenity got pregnant, Jasmine could not make any comments because Josh had been nice to her.

When Serenity got pregnant, the York family and Zachary’s consideration for Serenity made Jasmine envious. She could not help herself from ranting to her husband.

Sometimes, Jasmine felt she was being ungrateful.

Many women wished to rest well at home after finding out they were pregnant. However, they had to continue working to make ends meet. Some women even worked until they were in the late stages of pregnancy.

On the other hand, Jasmine felt bored because she could not work…

“Thank you, Josh.”

Jasmine pulled his hand and cupped her face with it.

Josh was extremely nice to her.

It was difficult to change the mindset of the older generation.

However, he already did his best to protect her.

“Don’t take what I said earlier to heart. I only said those words because I got emotional.”

Jasmine knew just how much Josh doted on her.

Her words must have hurt him.

“No. I’ll think about what you said. You must voice out any dissatisfaction you have toward me. Don’t bottle them up and ruin your mood. If you don’t tell me, I won’t know what I’m doing badly nor can I rectify it.

His sudden movement caught Jasmine off guard. She fell into his embrace.

Her unfinished sentence was interrupted.

“I won’t allow you to say those words, dear. My family has placed many restrictions on you. I know your personality well. It must’ve been difficult for you.”

The Soxes had become wealthy because of a past relocation. Jasmine lacked nothing and could have spent her days collecting rent for her family.

However, she disliked that kind of life. She said she would only become a landlady after getting older and retiring. She could help her children by collecting rent as a pastime.

She wanted to explore and live her own life while she was young.

Therefore, she became business partners with Serenity and opened a bookstore together. When she found out Serenity and Elisa wanted to invest in a company specializing in fresh produce and purchase land to grow crops, she became an investor without hesitation.

It should have been a company and career consisting of three people.

However, Jasmine was requested to stay home to rest and be a carefree missus because she was pregnant. She was not allowed to participate in anything. That must have made her feel depressed.
