Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 9

Jasmine took Connor’s words at face value. Ultimately, he was still a young boy, and there was no way he would try to trick her.

Right?

“Yeah, I’m not angry. I’m good friends with your Mommy. Is she around? Where is she?” Jasmine crouched down so she could be on eye level with Connor.

“Mommy didn’t come with us.” Connor was no fool. He did not believe this woman was his mother’s best friend at all.

Upon hearing that Natalie was not around, Jasmine knew this was her chance.

“Then, did you come here with your Daddy?” As she spoke, she reached out to stroke his head. At the same time, she thought of using that opportunity to pluck his hair for a DNA test.

Yet, the moment her hand came close to him, he instantly backed away warily.

For a moment, Jasmine’s hand hovered in mid-air before she let it drop.

From the gleam in her eyes, Connor could tell she was planning something. Hence, he played along, “Yeah, I’m here with Daddy.”

Earlier, Jasmine had meant to test the waters with that question about his father. She did not expect he would answer in the affirmative, though.

Was my suspicion wrong?

Unable to contain her impatience any longer, she pressed, “What’s your Daddy’s name? Where is he?”

Connor took in the anxious yet eager expression on her face. Curiosity swelled in him right that instant. Maybe… Just maybe, he could use this chance to get some answers there and then.

“Ma’am, aren’t you best friends with my Mommy? How could you not know who my Daddy is?” He tilted his head to the side adorably.

The smile on Jasmine’s lips froze. After a few seconds of hesitation, she fibbed, “Oh, I didn’t attend your Mommy’s wedding.”

Connor saw right through her obvious attempt as she lied because he knew his mother never had a wedding ceremony.

Still, her strange reactions led him to believe she knew more than she was letting on.

But he soon realized he had already been here a little too long. At this point, his mother was probably starting to worry about him.
