As far as Gerald remembered, he only ever had brief conversations with Jasmine, though he did admit to manipulating her slightly during some incidents. To think that she would end up falling for him just because of that…
“Anyway, when the Fendersons went over to the Crawford family some time ago, we learned that he had gone missing. While I’ve sent a lot of people out to search for him, it’s already been a little over half a year by now yet there still isn’t any news about him… I still occasionally wonder whether he left on his own accord…” said Jasmine in a rather sad tone.
“…Regardless, are you done?” asked Jasmine as she turned to look at Sanderson.
At that, Gerald nodded before gesturing for her to get a good rest.
Just as he was about to leave with his medical kit, however, he caught a glimpse of some prayer tools lying around in her room.
With a slight frown, he then pointed at said objects before saying, “Ah, ah?”
He had meant to ask her whether there was something going on the next day, and though he was worried that the question wouldn’t get across, Jasmine seemed to understand him just fine.
With a smile on her face, she nodded before saying, “There’s a church fair tomorrow. My aunts, Mindy, and I will be heading there to pray for blessings together. Haha! You may not know this, but in the past, Mindy and I couldn’t leave the mansion all willy-nilly, Sanderson. We used to sneak out just to go to that fair! We don’t have to sneak out anymore, though, so we can thoroughly enjoy ourselves there without fear of getting caught!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald’s expression saddened.
“…Hmm? Could it be that you wish to go there too? Now that I think about it, you’ve probably never attended a church fair, have you?” asked Jasmine as she looked at his face.
In response, Gerald began gesturing happily.
“Alright then, it’s decided! If you aren’t too busy tomorrow, do keep us company and go out with us!” replied Jasmine with a smile.
Though Jasmine was rarely this friendly to someone she just met, she simply felt comfortable with him.
