Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: This is my chance

"Jasmine," the other waiter called out to her. Further confirming my suspicions.

Jasmine was here! I thought to myself excitedly. Wait, why was Jasmine here?

I then suddenly felt a wetness on my leg and looked down and found she had dropped the drink she was about to serve me all over me. I had been so distracted I hadn’t realized.

She’s just a beautiful as I remembered her. Just a bit more mature, Stop—stop these thoughts I told myself

Act calm. Act normal. Or else she’ll think of you as a child.

"Jasmine is that you?" I asked her but I knew it was her.

"Yes, it’s me Louis," she replied.

Immediately, I noticed she seemed anxious and tired-looking. I found myself feeling furious. What was Chairman Acland doing to you? I wondered. Why are you working as a waitress? Why do you look so worn out?

I knew of her current situation. That her husband had a mistress and was prioritizing her. Word had spread among the socialites about how jealous and crazy Jasmine was. I wasn’t sure what to think after hearing of these rumors. That didn’t sound like the Jasmine I knew. However, looking at Jasmine here in front of me now, I was sure those rumors couldn’t be true.

I wanted to ask her what was going on with her, however as I talked to her I noticed she seemed reluctant to speak and seemed uncomfortable.

I’m such an idiot I thought to myself. Of course she’d be worried and nervous to talk to you. It’s been years since you last talked. I decided the best course of action was not to pressure her and make her feel comfortable.

I offered to pick up her son and take them home instead. Once I had her and her son taken home she seemed more relaxed. As I walked her to her house I then tried to ask her about her situation again.

She told me she wasn’t being abused and not to worry however, I couldn’t help but feel she was saying that so I wouldn’t worry.

Knowing Jasmine who thought of others before herself she was probably more worried about bothering me. I internally sighed she hadn’t gotten rid of that bad habit of hers after all these years. Unfortunately, I couldn’t force her to rely on me so I decided for us to exchange our numbers.

After our reunion, Initially I had someone watch her for a little while. Just to make sure she was alright, my spy informed me that she didn’t seem to be in any immediate danger.

I had imagined Chairman Acland was going to her home and putting his hands on her or something. I began to feel weird for stalking her. Was I intruding her space? I ended up telling my spy to stop.

I wanted to help her but I didn’t want to intrude and feel like I was overstepping. The last thing I would want is to upset her. But I just had a gut feeling that the situation might be worse than what she had told me. I mean the fact he was planning on divorcing her and planning to make his illegitimate son the heir was bad enough as it is.
