Based on the Bucham family’s network, Josh was extremely clear about her entire family history stretching back eighteen generations. He even knew about how many children her grandmother had had and how many had survived to adulthood. She did not even know that.
She only knew her father had four siblings and thought her grandparents had only had five children.
Once, she had no idea what they had been talking about before that, but Josh mentioned her father had eight siblings. It was just that only five of them reached adulthood, while the remaining four had died when they were infants.
At the time, Jasmine was struck dumb.
She then returned home and asked her father, but he had no idea either. When she asked her grandmother about it, it was only then her grandmother admitted that that was the truth.
In the past, living standards were bad and many people had many children, but most had at least one child who passed away.
Her grandmother asked her how she knew about that.
It had been her first four children who passed away. The latter five survived and lived to become adults.
That was why even her father had not known he had lost four siblings before him.
This made Jasmine realize how much more powerful and terrifying than she had imagined the Buchams were.
Just as she had put it to Serenity, she was as plain as day to Josh—there were no secrets to speak of.
On the other hand, she knew absolutely nothing about Josh.
She not only felt it was unfair but also scared—scared of Josh and the Bucham family’s power.
Thus, she liked Josh but did not dare immediately accept his suit. She thought, ‘Let’s get to know him a little better.’
Josh felt a little disappointed but was not discouraged. He said, “That’s fine. I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes. I’m willing to wait until you feel like you know me really well and you’re willing to become my girlfriend. I’m even going to wait until you’re willing to marry me and become my wife.
