Fated love: the unwanted bride

He was naturally handsome and when he smiled, it was enough to make anyone swoon.

Upon closer look, he even had a pair of barely noticeable dimples.

“Hmm… I haven’t been here for a week, did you miss me?” Joe Heath stood up, his hands resting on the table.

He was facing Jasmine Yale directly.

“Miss you? Why would I?” Jasmine Yale laughed.

Joe Heath ruffled her hair: “You’re so heartless.”

“Don’t mess it up! My hair… it’s all messed up…” Jasmine Yale dodged him, giving him a stern glance.

“Okay, okay…” Joe Heath was indulgent with her, arching an eyebrow, “I’ll treat you to dinner after work tonight. Do you think we need any other activities? Hmm?”

“Other? Well, you can go shopping with me. I haven’t bought new clothes in a long time.”

“Shopping?” Joe Heath frowned, but still agreed, “Alright, we’ll go shopping.”

“Hehe.” Jasmine Yale laughed.

“Come here, let me look at your neck, has it healed?” Joe Heath gestured towards her.

Jasmine Yale approached him, looking slightly pitiful.

“There’s still a small scar, your miracle ointment isn’t so miraculous after all…”

Joe Heath frowned, lending closer to take a look.

Indeed, there was a scar on her neck.

Though, it wasn’t visible unless you were up close.

But she was a woman, and she must be feeling upset about it.

“Ah, is it really noticeable? I hate it…” Jasmine muttered.

It really was annoying, having such a visible scar.

“Oh, it is annoying.” Joe Heath laughed heartily, his hand brushing her neck,

“It’s okay, I don’t mind. Keep using the ointment, don’t forget.”

“Mhm, I remember.”

“Good.”

When Jasmine Yale was close to him, he caught a whiff of her familiar scent.

This time, it was mixed with a hint of Jo Malone bluebell.

It was faint, but just enough to be noticed.

Just like a feather brushing past—

It made Joe’s heart flutter.

In an unnoticed moment, he bent his head and stole a quick kiss on her neck.

“Joe Heath!”

Who’d have guessed, Jasmine Yale reacted strongly, hopping up and running off.

Her expression reminded him of one reserved for hooligans.

Joe Heath spread his hands, pretending… to be innocent, truly innocent.

“I…” Joe Heath looked at Jasmine Yale with a sigh, acting like a young lad who could barely form a sentence from nerves.

His nerves shouldn’t have surprised him, he had been in relationships before.

And Jasmine Yale wasn’t even his first girlfriend.

Had Jasmine Yale just rejected him???

“I warn you, if you do that again, I will ignore you.”

“Oh…” Joe Heath’s eyes were filled with innocence.

It was like a naughty child being reprimanded by a teacher.

Jasmine Yale laughed: “Hehe, why are you so well-behaved?”

I! I!

“Hmm… I’m going to the office first. See you tonight, remember to go shopping with me, I need to buy a dress, high heels, lipstick, earrings…”

I! I!

Jasmine Yale bounced away lightly.

She left a confused and depressed Joe Heath behind.

When Jasmine Yale arrived in Singapore, she didn’t bring many belongings.

Her salary had just been deposited this morning, and she planned to go shopping.

Thanks to Joe Heath, her salary was not low, and her job was good.

She now had the capability to support herself.

Of course, she would work hard and not rely on Joe Heath to pull strings for her all the time.

She was, after all, an ambitious, hardworking, and respectable young woman..
