Jasmine Yale laughed, Joe Heath was still the same old guy.
A month had passed, yet nothing much had changed.
But that’s good.
She felt particularly at ease with him.
“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m leaving.” Jasmine Yale threatened him.
“Let me have a drink of water first.” Joe Heath drank a glass of warm water, “You have no idea how despicable my eldest brother is, really, too despicable…”
Upon hearing Sylvan Cheney, Jasmine Yale unconsciously frowned.
“What did he do to you?” she asked.
“He had our father keep an eye on me, took me to a deserted island, where there was absolutely no signal. He mentioned it was for my retreat. He also wanted me to marry a woman I don’t like at all! Do you think that’s too much!? Infuriating!”
“Which deserted island?”
“It’s a bit far from Landon, quite remote. I’ve never been there before. Swindler! Petty man!”
“How did you manage to escape then? Was your retreat over?”
“I was thinking about you all day, but I was unable to use my phone or computer. I was really afraid that you would wake up and not see me around and feel anxious, deeming me as a break-faith guy. Really, I was very anxious.”
Even now, Joe Heath was speaking anxiously.
Jasmine Yale shook her head gently.
Joe Heath had always been faithful to her, she knew that.
“This past month, I was almost driven mad. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, I dealt with documents and materials that my old man gave me…” Joe Heath was genuinely miserable.
“The old man was so annoying.”
Jasmine Yale giggled, “So I’m curious, how did you escape? Or your conscience finally struck, and he let you go?”
“How can my dad develop a conscience! At present, he simply follows whatever my eldest brother says. Without orders from my elder brother, how would he dare to let me go? I escaped on my own.” Joe Heath was miserable.
His face was full of worry.
“You escaped on your own? How? Joe Heath, you are quite good.”
Jasmine Yale died laughing, she was so impressed.
Just thinking about the scene made her laugh.
“Not exactly, one day while wandering by the seaside, I ran into a young lady who was fishing. I asked her to help me escape.”
“Did you trade your charm?”
“Am I really that handsome?” Joe Heath pinched his own face.
Jasmine Yale didn’t respond. She snorted coldly, “Does your dad know you have escaped?”
“Probably does by now, but I heard my eldest brother has been really busy lately. So with no time to spare for me, my dad, my biological father, will naturally turn a blind eye.”
“Now that you are back, you better work seriously at Star Sharp.”
“That’s all?” Joe Heath stared at her.
“Huh?” Jasmine Yale blinked her large eyes.
“You have nothing else to say to me?”
Joe Heath was so disappointed! His face was full of disappointment.
He had been thinking about her the entire month, and she only said these things to him.
“Yes, apply your sunscreen properly. Look at you, you’ve tanned!” Jasmine Yale laughed and took out a compact mirror from her bag.
Joe Heath indeed took a look seriously.
Oh, he really did tan.
“Are you disgusted with me?” Joe Heath was unhappy.
“Maybe a little bit.” Jasmine Yale laughed, “So you better take good care of yourself. And look at you, you are under your dad’s control all the time. You need to work seriously and succeed in your career soon.”
“I didn’t gain nothing in that deserted island for a month. I read a screenplay that I feel is very good. If it is made into a movie, it would be a big hit.”
“Now you are talking!” Jasmine Yale laughed looking at him.
