Chapter 0237
Jasmine’s lips twitched as she forced a smile. She sneered as she asked, “Ms Jones, how can you be so harsh with your words? Are you upset?”
I smiled and looked at Jasmine. “I’m just feeling worried about you. He’s raising you as a pet. No matter what, it sounds a bit cheap.”
Jasmine paled as her hand that had been wrapped around Nicholas‘ arm immediately clenched tightly
into a fist
But she was much more mature than Claudia and did not make a fuss. She just turned to Nicholas and said, “Nick, let’s hurry up and get this over with. Your parents are still waiting for us.”
Undoubtedly, Jasmine was just trying to tell me that she had already received Nicholas‘ parents‘ approval.

I turned around to catch up with them. However, I forgot that I had been standing still for too long and my legs had already gone numb. I quickly lost my balance as I fell forward.
Nicholas seemed to have a pair of eyes behind his head. I didn’t even have time to shout when he had already held my wrist and steadied me.

He was standing very close to me. His breath and hands were extremely hot, yet his voice was as cold as ice. “Why are you still using the same old trick from decades ago?”
I felt enraged by the mockery in his tone. My feelings had been very simple when I was young. I never thought about money, power, or all those other social factors.
I fell for someone solely because I liked them. So, how could he use such degrading words to mock my feelings for him back then? Mocking someone came at no cost.
