The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 644

"But..." Junia started to say something but was interrupted by the ringing of Jasmine's phone. Their conversation paused.

Jasmine glanced at her phone. When she saw the name of the caller, she said with a sarcastic smile,"What a coincidence! I am also wanting to call her. Let's see what she has to say!"

Jasmine answered the phone in anger,"What do you want, Laura Ding? You know what your son did to my daughter. Now you dare to call me! How can you be so shameless?"

Laura felt a little worried. She wanted to know exactly what had happened so she called Jasmine as soon as Anthony went upstairs. To her surprise, she was greeted by Jasmine's bitter words.

Laura realized Jasmine must be annoyed at Anthony's misbehaviour.

She heaved a sigh and managed to ask in a mild tone,"What happened, Jasmine? Why are you so angry? Don't speak to me so harshly. After all, our kids will marry one day and we will be relatives."

"Don't pretend you know nothing!" Jasmine scolded,"I think we will never be relatives! My daughter isn't good enough for your son. Just give up the idea to get them married. My daughter can also marry someone far better if your son doesn't want her."

"What you think is not true!" Laura objected. Then she asked,"What happened between them? I really don't know."

Jasmine said,"Stop pretending! I don't believe you know nothing about what your son has done! I know you have called me just to humiliate me further!"

Becoming angrier she added,"From now onwards, my family will break all contact with yours."

"Jasmine!" Laura beseeched. "I swear I don't know what happened. Please tell me all that transpired. Maybe it was just a mistake that we can correct."

"I don't believe you," Jasmine adamantly said. "Your son shouldn't have agreed to the lunch date arranged for them if he didn't like my daughter. But he came and acted like he was compelled to face her. Also, if he has no feelings for her, why did he agree to go for a movie with her? There also, the seats he booked for Junia and himself were in different rows! So how can it be called a date? What did he mean by doing all this?"

Jasmine's anger was bubbling as she thought of the humiliation her daughter had suffered. "There are so many eligible young men who want to marry my Junia. Tell your son not to regret when she becomes another man's wife!" said Jasmine.

Listening to her mother using such harsh language, Junia tugged at her sleeve softly. "Enough, mom. It is not a big deal. You shouldn't spoil your friendship with Aunt Laura because of it," she tried to pacify her mother.

"Keep out of this," Jasmine shook off Junia's hand and hissed at her. She continued to vent at Laura,"If you don't deal with your son in a stern manner, we won't be friends any more."

Laura finally understood what had happened. Knowing Anthony she could guess his characteristic behavior and actions in any situation.

She also realized that his behavior must have seemed very intolerable to a sensitive, young girl.

Laura apologized to Jasmine,"Thank you for telling me this. Don't worry, I will ask Anthony to apologize and make amends to Junia."
