"So, Mom's coming back with us to Great-grandma's?"
"Yeah."
Upon hearing that, Jasmine couldn't help but frown before she said anything. It wasn't that she didn't want to see Charlene. Nor was it that Jasmine didn't miss her. It had been ages since she last saw Charlene. Unusually, Charlene hadn't contacted her in over two weeks.
Now that they mentioned Charlene, Jasmine realized she did miss her a bit. But knowing Charlene would join them for the evening at Henderson Mansion meant she'd be back from her business trip. She only found out Charlene had been away when she woke up the morning after returning home.
Jasmine was secretly thrilled to find Charlene not at home. She had hoped to spend more time with Vesta during her mom's business trip. After all, meeting with Vesta would become rare once Charlene was back.
So, Jasmine had been hoping Charlene would stay away longer. But Charlene was coming back after just two days. Now that Charlene was back, she wouldn't allow Vesta to take her to school the next day.
Charlene wouldn't let Jasmine go if she knew about Vesta's car race tomorrow night. After thinking about this, Jasmine's mood took a nosedive.
She had asked Vesta to drop her at school tomorrow morning, and Vesta agreed. She thought, 'What should I do?'
Jasmine felt deflated. "Dad..."
Thorne looked over. "What's up?"
She could ask her dad to talk to Charlene about letting Vesta take her to school the following day, but that might lead to a fight between her parents. What a headache!
Jasmine lost her appetite for breakfast. However, she would compromise on the school issue and let her mom accompany her. But she was determined to go to Vesta's car race tomorrow night, no matter what.
