"I won’t like you."
Her gentle voice sounded in the quiet night.
And it fell into Henry’s ears.
Henry just mumbled and then covered her with a coat.
"My sister bought it but found it too big for her. It suits you perfectly."
He seed to be afraid that Jasmine would refuse and tightened his grip on her collar.
Jasmine was wrapped in a warm coat.
"I, I have my own clothes."
Jasmine wanted to struggle but failed.
She was a little angry. She could not understand Henry. No matter what she said, Henry was not angry.
"If you take it off, I will give my coat to you."
As he spoke, he began to take off his coat.
Jasmine quickly pulled the coat back. "I won’t take it off, and you don’t, either. It’s cold outside."
Henry was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt in his coat. If he took the coat off, he would definitely catch a cold.
Jasmine had to obey him.
"It’s so late. Go back."
Jasmine found that she was not angry now. She did not know how to deal with Henry.
She thought that if she said sothing cruel, Henry would leave her in a fit of anger.
After all, she was too ordinary and not worthy of being liked by him.
If Henry were to be with her, she would not make him happy.
"No. It’s not safe for you to walk alone at night. I’ll send you back!"
Henry said matter-of-factly. Without waiting for Jasmine to speak, he pulled her hand and walked forward.
Under the dim street light, Jasmine looked at their hands and was lost in a daze.
The warmth of Henry’s hand passed on to hers. She was stunned.
No one had ever been so good to her. She was unsure whether she was touched or she was vain and greedy.
There were only two long shadows on the ground. They would occasionally bump into each other and quietly disappear around the corner.
In the apartnt.
Fiona looked at the clock on the wall and asked, "Anna, do you think Henry will succeed?"
Annabelle was eating the strawberries and whispered, "Wait for Henry to co back and we will know."
However, Henry had been out for a long ti. The answer was obvious.
Fiona narrowed her eyes and leaned over to Annabelle.
"Anna, you are so resourceful. If Jasmine really let Henry take off his coat, she is unworthy for Henry to like her."
"How do you know that she is deliberately avoiding Henry?"
Annabelle seed to know what Jasmine would say.
And she told Henry how to respond.
Fiona doubted whether Annabella has a superpower.
Maybe she could read human minds.
Fiona looked at Annabelle.
She looked exactly the sa as her.
She subconsciously moved down to Annabelle’s chest.
Just as she was about to lower her head to listen, Annabelle said, "I don’t have two hearts."
Fiona pursed and stood up, "Anna, just tell . How do you know what Jasmine would say to Henry? If she really likes Henry, she can just be with him. Our family is very open-minded."
They won’t mind if she cos from a humble background.
Annabelle glanced at her and handed the phone to Fiona.
Fiona hesitated for a mont and then picked up her mobile phone, which was the sa as hers.
She opened it to take a look and imdiately widened his eyes, "Anna, find soone to investigate Jasmine..."
If Henry found out about this, he would be very angry.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles and win them all."
Annabelle said simply.
Jasmine was born in an ordinary farr family. When her father was alive, they lived rather happily.
But a once-in-a-century flood ca and Jasmine’s father died.
Life beca difficult for Jasmine and her mother.
Most people in this situation would accept Henry and get everything they want. But so were upright and would not succumb to wealth and fa.
Jasmine was clearly the second kind.
"She just doesn’t want to be a burden. She knows very well that her family background is not a match with Henry’s."
Annabelle said.
Fiona was surprised, "Oh my god, I can’t fancy soone being not worthy of Henry. How miserable she is!"
Annabelle glanced at her.
Fiona smiled and said, "You don’t have to be so smart, Anna. You know what she thinks and what she would say. We are twins. It makes feel stupid."
She sighed and held her chin unhappily.
They were twins. She wondered when did she fall inferior? She suddenly understood Henry a little. It turned out that they were facing the sa fate.
Annabelle didn’t pay any attention to her and took her phone.
Soon, Fiona received a 2G RAR file.
Opening it, Fiona exclaid, "Anna, how can you read this kind of book?"
There were "The Boss Falls in Love with ", "Her Royal Highness Wants to Climb Over the Wall", "After I Married into an Upper-Class Family", "All the Masters Fall in Love with "...
It was far beyond her imagination.
Annabelle finished a bowl of strawberries and said contentedly, "Read so and you will find the plots are basically the sa."
Now the authors are getting lazier and lazier. They had run out of tricks up their sleeves.
The readers were smart. They grasped the pattern quickly.
Annabelle could tell the ending in one glance. The literary world was declining!
Fiona read with widened eyes, "Anna, this one is so interesting. I’m falling in love. The male lead is so hot."
Fiona said as she covered her mouth.
She was a decent girl. She couldn’t lose her mind because of these ssy novels.
She decided to save them and secretly read at night.
Fiona stamped her feet in excitent. Annabella reminded her, "Imagine Henry as the male lead. You will find them very similar."
Sure enough, Fiona’s little face imdiately turned cold.
She looked at Annabelle resentfully. She was angry with Annabelle for making her recognize the truth.
She lowered her voice and said, "Anna, don’t you think Henry is more like the miserable supporting role?"
He is not worthy of being the male lead!
...
When Henry got ho, it was already past midnight.
He was humming a tune and didn’t even change his shoes at the door but rushed and fell onto the sofa.
He hugged the pillow and kissed it.
Fiona and Annabelle stood at the door of their bedroom, looking at him with a look of disgust.
Henry was... getting stupider!
"Anna, do you think that Henry is very greasy?"
Fiona pursed and sneered.
Fortunately, they were going back to River City tomorrow and could avoid Henry’s silly face.
If they kept living with Henry under the sa roof, they were afraid that they would be sillier.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
People could influence each other.
However, staying with Henry, they found that all the brilliant minds in their family could not influence a fool.
On the contrary, they would be influenced by him.
"Yes, he is indeed greasy. His smile looks so silly."
Annabelle said lightly. She glanced at Henry and happened to et his eyes.
Henry jumped up and pounced towards them excitedly.
"My dear sisters, my good sisters, you are really my consultants. Jasmine talked to ."
And she had smiled at him. The way she looked at him was different.
Henry was so flattered that he knew not what to do.
Annabelle was lifted by Henry. He was about to kiss her forehead when Annabelle slapped his head in disgust.
Her pretty little face puckered, "Henry, you didn’t brush your teeth."
Henry quickly put his sister down and said with a smile, "I will go brush my teeth now. When I co back, I will thank you with a kiss."
Annabelle watched as Henry humd and entered the bathroom.
Fiona, who was behind, slowly approached her and said worriedly, "Are you sure this is not revenge?"
She looked at the frowning Annabelle pitifully.
Fiona said sympathetically, "Anna, do you have any ideas now?"
Annabelle replied calmly, "One should not be too kind."
Because others might take revenge on your kindness.
She was really conflicted.
Fiona nodded in agreent, "I really don’t know where Henry got his confidence from. How could he think that his kiss is a form of repaynt."
Annabelle replied without turning her head, "A person’s understanding does not necessarily grow with age. It is also possible that it will be unchanging!"
Seeing Annabelle running back to her room, Fiona quickly followed.
That night, Annabelle and Fiona locked the door tacitly!
Hiding in the quilt, Fiona pushed Annabelle and whispered, "Anna, do you hear anything?"
"I heard it. Henry is smashing the wall." Annabelle replied calmly but furrowed her brows.
"No, I think he is smashing the bed. What happened to him today? He is getting mad."
Fiona heaved a sigh. She really couldn’t understand Henry’s thoughts.
Annabelle turned over and said, "Let’s sleep. We still have to take the car tomorrow."
They were going back to River City tomorrow morning.
"Alright, I hope Henry can calm down."
Fiona also whispered.
If he got too excited and hurt his brain, wouldn’t he be even more stupid? In the next door.
The room was dark except that faint light of the screen shone on Henry’s face. "I will pick you up to school tomorrow morning. What do you want for breakfast?" Henry sent out a ssage and soon received a reply.
"You don’t have to. It’s not convenient for you. I’ll make breakfast myself." Jasmine replied to the ssage with a smile.
"Jasmine, why aren’t you sleeping? Who are you sending a ssage to?"
Jenny suddenly asked. Jasmine stopped tapping and turned to look at her.
She said, "Mom, did I wake you up?"
"No, I haven’t fallen asleep yet."
Now she lay on the bed all day long and had a lot of ti to sleep during the day.
She no longer kept a regular schedule. She looked at Jasmine and said worriedly, "You have classes tomorrow. It will harm your health to stay up late."
"Mom, I’m fine. The holiday is coming and there’s not much content to learn tomorrow. I’ve already previewed it."
However, Jenny did not relax.
Looking at Jasmine, Jenny finally said, "You’re very beautiful. There must be many boys who like you."
Jasmine was stunned as if her small secret was discovered.
She beca a little nervous.
Jasmine was about to explain when she heard Jenny speak with a faint smile, "You have grown up. It’s normal for you to fall in love. I hope that you can find a boy who you like and also likes you."
"Mom, you know that I only want to move on to postgraduate study, to live a good life with you, and to earn money to cure your illness. Let’s..."
"Okay, I know. You don’t have to say these to change the topic."
Jenney had obviously heard too much of these words and had no intention of listening again.
She interrupted Jasmine with difficulty and said, "You don’t have to work so hard for . You can pursue the person you like. But rember that you must not give up on yourself for anyone. A woman will love herself first before she can enjoy being loved."
"Mom hopes that when you are in love, you do not forget your study and your ideals. If the person you love is outstanding, you should learn from him and make yourself better.
"If one day, he does not love you anymore, at the very least, you still have yourself."
"Mom, I know. I won’t forget my studies."
Jasmine said seriously.
Jenny weakly closed her eyes and whispered, "I can’t accompany you for a lifeti, but I hope that your lover can replace and stay with you for a little longer."
Jenny whispered and fell asleep.
Jasmine held Jenny’s skinny hand.
She put Jenny’s hand in her palm.
Her hand was fair and delicate, but Jenny’s hand had lost all luster.
Her withered skin seed to be telling the end of her life.
The next morning, Jasmine saw Henry downstairs.
He smiled as brightly as last night when he walked her back.
He walked forward and handed the bag over.
It was the breakfast that he had just bought. Jasmine took it and said, "Thank you!"
She looked up at Henry and asked, "Can you tell why you like ?"
If he liked her because she was young and beautiful, she would lose her youth and beauty one day... would he like her then?
