While caressing her nephew’s head, Serenity replied, “Hank is still at his parents‘ home He told my sister to return his portion of the living expenses because he wasn’t eating at home He wants his cut back.”

Jasmine responded after a brief pause, “He’s not much of a keeper, isn’t he?”

Serenity fell silent for a moment before answering, “My sister needs to find stability before she can think about the future.”

Jasmine was without a word.

“How was Mrs. Dawson’s party? Did you have chemistry with her son?”

“My head is still aching.”

Serenity blinked her eyes and burst out laughing. “Don’t tell me you faked being drunk at the party?”

It was all about poise and grace within the higher society.

Jasmine could forget marrying

“Well, I didn’t get drunk or go crazy, but I pretended to be intoxicated after consuming lots of wine. I lay on the floor and pretended to sleep. My aunt frantically dragged me out of there. I think my aunt won’t ever take me to any events now!
