Chapter 1137 Jasmine Langdon
Tommy lay on his bed. He was on a video call with Luca.
Luca looked at Tommy on her phone screen, wishing that the joy she experienced in the past two dayscould last forever.
However, she was now Luca and not Bianca. She could not be by her children's side for too long.
Seeing that Tommy was yawning, Luca said softly. "It's getting late. You should go to bed." "I hope thatI can sleep with you, Ms. Luca," Tommy pouted and said coyly. He remembered that he had sleptsoundly by her side the night before, and he wanted to experience that again.
"You're a big boy now. You have to be independent," Luca said.
She also wished that she could be by her children's side, but that was an impossibility for now!
Tommy blinked and looked at her gentle demeanor. "Ms. Luca, when I decide to forgive Daddy in a fewdays, I'll let him know that I want you as my godmother!" "We'll talk about this next time. You still haveschool tomorrow. You'd better sleep soon," Luca said.
Tommy nodded and reluctantly ended the video call. As he lay on the bed, he thought of how he shouldintroduce Luca to his elder siblings.
He decided that he would ask Lanie and Rainie to join in the video call tomorrow.
As her phone screen darkened, Luca sighed inaudibly. She went to clean up her house. When she sawthe yogurt and milk in the fridge, she sighed again.novelbin
She had bought all those drinks for Tommy, but she had forgotten to tell him to take them along withhim when he left.
Luca closed the fridge door, went back to her bedroom, and fell on the bed. She flipped to her side andtouched the empty space where Tommy had slept the night before. "It would be great if I could spendanother night with him."
However, she knew that she should not indulge herself with such thoughts.
The bedroom light was blinding her, so she turned the light off. In the dark and silent night, her tearssuddenly started flowing again.
Luca stayed at home for the next three days.
When she ran out of food, she went out of her house to replenish supplies.
She went to the nearby supermarket and found that it was closed for renovations. With no other choice,she had to take a cab to another supermarket in the downtown area.
She got out of the car and looked at her surroundings. Many things had changed in the past threeyears, and she was not familiar with the place.
Luca had the idea to go around shopping.
She went into a shopping mall and bought several shirts for work. Then, she took the escalatorupstairs.
As she wandered around the mall, she found herself in the children's section.
There were many clothes and toys for children. Luca suddenly had the urge to buy some.
Whenever she touched the clothes, she would pull her hand back and sigh. She could not reunite withthe three children, and Nyla was not with her. There was no one for her to buy clothes for.
A sales clerk saw that and enthusiastically went up to her. "Are you buying clothes for a child?" "Mm."Luca nodded.
The sales clerk said, "These are the latest designs in our store. All sizes are available, and they fitchildren from one to ten years old."
The colorful array of children's clothing made Luca even more dejected.
She shook her head and said, "I'm just looking. You don't have to worry about me." "Alright then, youcan call me if you need anything." The sales clerk left.
Luca stayed in that section for quite a while. She imagined that Nyla would love the clothes here.
The cloth and sewing materials on the Island of Despair were mostly drab colors. There was noaesthetic sense to Nyla's clothes.
"Ow!" While Luca was lost in thought, a little girl ran over and bumped into her.
She steadied herself and looked at the little girl sprawled on the floor. She helped her up and askedher, "Are you okay?"
There was a red spot on the girl's forehead. She started bawling.
When Luca wanted to comfort her, she heard the voice of a woman. "I told you not to run around,Jasmine, but you don't listen."
Luca was shocked. She turned her head and saw that the voice belonged to Nina.
Nina came over, picked up the crying little girl, and smiled apologetically at Luca. "I'm sorry, I shouldhave kept a closer eye on her. Are you hurt?"
Luca shook her head. She felt a lump in her throat when she saw her best friend. "I'm fine." "Boo hoo, ithurts," little Jasmine complained as she pressed her forehead.
Nina gently rubbed the little girl's forehead. "It's painful, right? That's why I told you not to run around.""Aunt Nina..." Jasmine slumped on Nina's shoulder, and her crying ceased." I won't do that anymore,"she said coyly.
'Aunt Nina?'
Luca guessed that the child must be Jean's daughter.
Jean must have been released from prison. Luca became quite emotional when she thought of whathappened in the past.
Seeing that the little girl had stopped crying, Nina turned to look at Luca."
Are you really alright? I thought I saw your stumble when the girl bumped into you. You're not hurtanywhere, right?" "I'm really fine. Don't worry about it." Luca tried to compose herself so that Nina couldnot hear that she was about to cry.
She missed everything in A City, including her family and friends.
"That's good." Nina thought that the woman in front of her looked familiar, but she could not rememberwhere she had seen that face. "Right, have we met before?" "I believe this is the first time we've met,"Luca smiled and said while hiding the shock in her heart.
Nina nodded.
Jasmine tugged her collar impatiently and said, "Let's go and meet Mr. Handsome, Aunt Nina!"
The "Mr. Handsome" she was referring to was Luke.
Brilliant Architectural Design was involved in an event in the mall. Luke, as the person in charge behindthe scenes, was in attendance. Jasmine admired him. When she knew that Luke would be at the mall,she insisted on coming to meet him.
Nina gently poked the girl's nose and said, "Alright, I'll bring you to meet him."
Jasmine was the daughter of her elder brother. After being released from prison, Jean saved Anna'slife through a liver transplant. After that, he slept with a woman he met in a nightclub and impregnatedher.
The resulting child was Jasmine.
Jean did not know how to be a father. He often neglected her. At the same time, he was also addictedto gambling.
Eventually, he accumulated a huge debt, and Nina was not willing to shoulder the debt for him. He hadno choice but to run away, and he left his daughter in Anna's care.
Anna was not fond of girls. Nina took pity on the little girl, so she took her in and treated her as herdaughter.
