Fated love: the unwanted bride

She had no idea, life could be this wonderful.

Sunbathing, drinking coconut water, riding speedboats, and watching the sunrise on a sailboat.

Everything was unspeakably beautiful.

“Joe Heath, thank you for playing with me for three days!” Jasmine yelled at the sea.

Dressed in a very cool outfit, Joe stood by her side, laughing.

He especially liked to see the lively and cute Jasmine in action, the more he saw, the more he loved.

“If you want to play for thirty days, I’ll accompany you too.” Joe smirked.

“I’ve got to get back to work tomorrow, believe me, it’s your fault I’ve taken an extra day off.”

“Fine, we’re not far from the company, I will take you here again some other day.”

“Mhm!”

Jasmine walked to the beach chair to gather her clothes and hat, she had truly enjoyed these past few days.

“Oh right, some bored paparazzi caught us, and the news has spread back home.” Joe pulled out a newspaper and threw it to Jasmine.

Jasmine casually took it, and upon inspection-

It was indeed true.

But she didn’t mind at all.

“You’re already in the entertainment industry, a bit of a scandal will only elevate your status.” Jasmine laughed.

“I’m afraid it might affect you…”

“There will be no impact.”

Indeed, there was no impact.

As the sun set, the warm glow spread over the ocean, the round sun gradually sinking below the horizon.

Jasmine, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, bent down to collect her belongings.

Joe leaned against a palm tree, squinting to watch her.

Jasmine in a floral dress was exceptionally pretty and pleasing to the eye.

“Let’s go.” Jasmine smiled.

“Hmm, let’s go.”

Joe was very gentle.

“Jasmine, you might not know this, but I used to be quite rebellious. After meeting you, it’s as if I’ve shed all my bad habits.” Joe walked over, smiling sweetly, “Is this the greatness of love? Is it not?”

“Really? Have you truly changed? I feel like you’re still the same.”

“Can’t you give me some encouragement?” Joe looked aggrieved.

“Not so much.”

“Wherever you want to go next, I’ll take you.”

“I’ll take some time to decide.”

“Alright, call me whenever.”

“When are you going back home?” Jasmine asked.

“I’ll go back in a few days. You focus on your work; I’ll give you a raise at the end of the year.”

Jasmine’s eyes sparkled, “Really?”

“Really.”

Jasmine still loved her current life: steady work, free life, not much to worry about.

That evening, Jasmine and Joe Heath went out for a western dinner.

It wasn’t until eleven at night that Joe dropped Jasmine back at her apartment.

“You go ahead, I’ll watch you.” Joe stood in the stairwell, waving with a smile.

“This apartment block is really safe.”

“I’ll still watch you go up.”

Jasmine smiled and revealed her shallow dimples.

She could feel his affection for her. It had been a long time since anyone had been so nice to her…

She walked through the corridor with her eyes glistening at the corners.

Jasmine took the elevator.

Just as the elevator stopped at the fifth floor, the door reopened.

“Oh, what a coincidence, so you live here?” Lana Fern, wearing a white trench coat, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Jasmine didn’t speak and didn’t engage with her.

But, that didn’t stop Lana from talking.

“Don’t overthink it, I just came to Sinkapore for a short trip. Going upstairs to meet a scriptwriter.” Lana leaned against the elevator wall, her posture lazy.

“…” Jasmine still didn’t speak.

“Jasmine Yale, you’ve become prettier, hmm?”
