Female Novel
Chapter 2920
Although Mr. Charles was the primary breadwinner, Mrs. Charles was the one wearing the pants in the
family. She managed their finances, and Mr. Charles was more than willing to be bossed around.
Jasmine said, “She rarely scolds you anymore. I haven’t heard her angry voice for some time already.”
Mr. Charles immediately placed a finger against his lips and whispered, “Don’t be so loud. My wife has
sharp ears. She can give me an earful right away if she hears you. You’ll be able to hear her angry
voice again.”
Serenity and Jasmine laughed with their hands over their mouths.
“I’ll take my leave now.”
Mr. Charles walked away happily.
As Serenity watched him leave, she told Jasmine, “I’m actually envious of Mr. Charles. He’s always in a
good mood.”
Life would get better when one had a positive mindset.
“Mr. and Mrs. Charles have a good relationship and a harmonious family. Although their business is
small, they’re still doing great.”
Jasmine put her bag down and sat behind the cashier counter. At that moment, she spotted a packet of
cookies on the table. The cookies were huge, with a strong spicy fragrance with just a whiff.
“Did you buy these gingersnaps?”
Jasmine took a piece and bit into it. She said, “It tastes good.”
Serenity hummed in acknowledgment. She took one herself and said, “Let me try it. I didn’t buy the
gingersnaps. Mr. Charles gave them. He said it’s his hometown’s specialty. Someone from hisnovelbin
hometown visited and brought him the cookies, so he shared some with us.
“It does taste great.”
Serenity agreed with Jasmine after tasting the cookie.
It was extremely delicious and different from the usual gingersnaps they bought before. As expected of
a local specialty.
“I thought you were going to the company.”
Jasmine chewed her cookie and added, “Elisa is there, right?”
“Yeah. She’s basically in charge of the company and dating Remy simultaneously. She’s quite busy.”
Serenity smiled as she spoke.
“Elisa has become such a different person from when we first met her. She was just a rich family’s
daughter previously, but she has transformed into a woman with a successful career now. Elisa is so
motivated that even I envy her sometimes. I think I’ve lost most of my motivation.”
Jasmine touched her bump and said, “It could be due to our pregnancy. It makes me feel lazy.
However, I never had much motivation from the start anyway. I just wanted to earn some money and
keep this bookstore. I’m not very ambitious.”
She had more than enough money anyway.
The Bucham family was even more loaded than the Soxes. Ever since Jasmine had gotten married to
him, money became the least of her concerns.
Perhaps her favorable growing environment had shaped her into a person without ambitions.
“It’s not because of the pregnancy. Ever since I got pregnant with the baby, I got more motivated to
succeed in my career for my child. My children will be the ones to protect the legacy Zachary and I had
built. Of course, it’ll be better if they can expand it further.” Updated at Drаmanovels.com
Jasmine said, “I can’t compete against you and Elisa. You both are very self-driven individuals.
“By the way, I can feel the baby moving now.”
Jasmine shared the good news with Serenity.
