Jasmine sighed and said, “Some parents can be quite baffling. They disapprove of their grateful children but play favorites with other children who can’t care less about them.”
Serenity took a moment in silence before saying, “These parents hurt the kids who care while their favorite children hurt them instead. Some siblings never get close and even cut contact after their parents pass away because of the deferential treatment among siblings.”
“I’m lucky my family is not like that. My grandparents treat us all equally. There are no favorites or least liked. My uncles are nice too. We get along well with our cousins,” Jasmine said.
Serenity did not add to the conversation after that. She wished she had a family like Jasmine’s.
She was not on good terms with her cousins.
Ring, ring, ring…
Jasmine’s phone rang.
Thinking it was Josh, Jasmine pulled out her phone and said to her best friend, “He didn’t call me the whole day today. I think he’s starting to get bored of me.”
Serenity amusedly replied, “Mr. Bucham loves you to the moon and back. He’ll never get bored of you.
“Like attracts like. My man is committed, so I’m sure his best friends have the same attitude when it comes to love too. Don’t worry, Mr. Bucham had been single for so long for the right woman to come along, and that person is you.”
“It’s not Josh. It’s my brother.”
Serenity murmured, “Oh, it’s not Mr. Bucham…”
She thought Josh called to ask Jasmine out for dinner.
Serenity had informed Zachary that she met Shawn, but Zachary had not replied. She wondered if Zachary might get jealous.
She only happened to run into Shawn, and the meetup was no more than five minutes. Surely, the man would not be jealous… right?
