Chapter 258 Will You Go Abroad with Me?
[It's like Jasmine's being forced into marriage with a knife to her throat. She can't even pretend. Is the Taylor family's intelligence only passed down to the men?] Chloe complained in the message.
Elsa was amused by this and replied: [But Terry knows Jasmine doesn't like him at all.]
In the video, Terry was beaming, which clashed with Jasmine's look of deep resentment.
[He's always been carefree about love,] Chloe said.
Elsa didn't agree. If Terry were someone who was carefree about love, he wouldn't have been so upset about her lack of enthusiasm for Luke in the beginning.
Everyone handled emotions differently.
For someone like her, who had been through tough times, there were many things more important than love. But for people like Luke and his circle, on the other hand, their emotional lives were rather dull and lacking. When they encountered love, their reactions were much more intense than hers.
Margaret was a good example. Elsa wouldn't go to the lengths of trying to steal someone else's husband.
Jasmine was just simpler-minded, making her reactions more obvious.
But none of this mattered to her anymore. Now, she had long returned to being the original Elsa.
However, she realized that in her rush to get divorced, she had forgotten about the $20 million Dylan had compensated her with. One-year trust was almost due now.
Even if she returned the office building to Luke with interest, she wouldn't be impoverished overnight.
Twenty million dollars meant financial freedom for Elsa.
Before the marriage, she had vowed not to take advantage of Luke. Thinking about the $20 million, which Luke had helped her get, made her feel a bit embarrassed every time.
David and Mark's case was still pending. According to Christian, Karen had been running around trying to find a solution but had disappeared for almost half a month now.
After Elsa recovered, she still noticed that no one had come to see her. She started making preparations.
She emailed her mentor, Elijah Baker, about resuming her studies and had Vincent come over to stay for a while.
Vincent had somehow heard about Elsa's divorce and suddenly became overly diligent in front of her.
He tried to do as much housework as possible. Watching the skinny Vincent clumsily cook spaghetti in the kitchen made Elsa feel a pang of heartache.
"I'm planning to go abroad and finish my studies," she said, leaning against the kitchen door, discussing it with him.
"Elsa, you're so talented; you'll definitely make a mark in the field of jewelry design," Vincent said, tasting a strand of spaghetti and smiling in agreement.
"Are you coming with me or staying here?" Elsa hoped he would stay in the States. He had received treatment and lived there all his life, and he may not adapt to a new environment.
If he wanted to go with her, she would take him without hesitation.
"I'm not going. Eric and I have plans to go to the beach this summer," Vincent said.
He looked at Elsa with bright eyes. "I'm a man now. You need to believe that I can be independent."
Elsa was unable to take her eyes off Vincent.
Compared to the frail child who used to be bedridden, Vincent was now taller than her, with the confidence and spirit typical of boys his age.
She had always treated him like a child, rushing to protect him in everything.
Seeing Elsa staring at him thoughtfully, Vincent rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Is there something on my face?"
Elsa suppressed her emotions and glanced behind him. "No, but the spaghetti are about to overcook."
Vincent let out a yelp and jumped over to check the pot, making Elsa brighten her mood considerably.
