Chapter 739 Everything Is Arranged for the Best
Jasmine leaned against Ethan, listening to him chatter non-stop to cheer her up.
Her eyes were a bit moist, Ethan was never a talkative person.
He used to be so aloof, always using the fewest words possible.
Ethan had also become cold and suspicious due to being kidnapped and the environment of the Douglas family.
But he gave all his gentleness, patience, and trust to Jasmine.
Love was a journey that required two willing hearts.
"Honey, what else do you want to eat?" Ethan was learning to cook.
Tom, in the passenger seat, couldn't take it anymore. "Ethan, what's gotten into you lately?"
Ethan's eyes turned cold in an instant, giving Tom a piercing look. "What's wrong?"
Tom immediately backed down, laughing awkwardly. "You're the epitome of a good man! It's so touching! I must learn from you."
Ethan rolled his eyes at Tom.
Tom looked at Ben with a face full of despair.
Ben focused on driving, holding back his laughter.
Tom bit his collar as he received a call from Juniper, almost dropping his phone in fright.
"Mom, what's going on today?" Tom asked excitedly. "Do you miss me? Have you finally decided to let me come home and take over the family business?"
On the other end, Juniper's voice was deafening. "How old are you now? Your brother already has three kids. How about you? You haven't even brought home a girlfriend. Do you want to be alone after I die?"
Tom held the phone away, rubbing his ear.
"I'm telling you, tomorrow is my birthday. You must bring someone home, male or female, I don't care, but you must bring someone!" Juniper shouted.
Tom was shocked, Juniper's thinking was quite progressive.
Even male or female was fine.
If Tom really brought a guy home, Juniper would probably kill him.
The phone's volume was so loud that everyone in the car could hear it.
Jasmine was amused, leaning against Ethan and laughing out loud.
Ethan also smiled and said, "If you can't find anyone, talk to Connor and bring him home."
Jasmine almost choked, pinching Ethan while holding back her laughter. That was too much.
Even if Ethan saw Connor as a rival, he couldn't just set him up with a boyfriend.
"My mom clearly didn't mean that. If I don't quickly find a woman to bring home, her birthday will be my death day." Tom shivered and started calling people,
"Aurora, it's Tom. Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to come home with me?"
"Hello?"
"Lucy, it's Tom. Do you have time tomorrow?"
"Hello?"
Maybe Tom had bad karma, no one wanted to talk to him.
"How many girls' hearts have you broken? Jerk," Jasmine teased with a smile.
Tom scratched his head. "We all broke up amicably. Who knew they'd hold such grudges?"
In the hospital, Jasmine went for a check-up, and Ethan waited outside.
"Mr. Douglas, Mark is still struggling, teaming up with those illegitimate children he previously supported, trying to help the Douglas Group one more time. But it seems someone is sabotaging his little alliance from behind," Liam whispered.
Indeed, Mark controlled these illegitimate children with secrets and leverage, so mistakes were bound to happen.
Bradley and Vincent were so openly hostile to Mark that they were basically shutting off any possibility of him getting away.
But Mark was not willing to give up.
He had schemed so much to get to this point, already obtaining shares in the Douglas Group. How could he be willing to disappear with the Douglas Group?
"Mark is likely to act desperately," Liam whispered.
"If he acts desperately, so what? I've already given him the shares. What more can he do?" Ethan sneered.
"Obviously, if he acts desperately, it will be against Bradley and Vincent, and shouldn't threaten you and Jasmine," Liam whispered. "Don't you think Bradley and Vincent are doing a good thing? They're dealing with Mark, so you can accompany Jasmine for her prenatal check-ups."
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm very free lately? Or are you very free?"
Liam quickly slapped his own mouth. "Mr. Douglas, I didn't mean that. I just think Bradley and Vincent are only destroying the Douglas family and dealing with Mark. So far, there's no sign they're targeting the Raymond Group. Although they might become our biggest threat after dealing with Mark, at least during this time, you can relax a bit, right?"
Ethan said nothing.
He really couldn't see through Vincent.
"By the way, Juniper called. Tomorrow is her birthday, and she wants us all to go," Liam glanced at the schedule. "You've been quite free lately, so I agreed."
Ethan was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Got it."
Jasmine finished her check-up, and everything was normal. Ethan held her hand as they walked out.
Juniper's birthday was coming up, and Jasmine had prepared a gift.
"Tomorrow is Juniper's birthday, and she wants us all to go," Ethan said softly.
Jasmine smiled. "Sure, I have a gift ready."
Jasmine really liked Juniper and Tom.
Their family had a very warm and loving atmosphere.
"Jasmine," Ethan hesitated.
Jasmine looked at Ethan. "What's wrong?"
Ethan shook his head. "Nothing."
Ethan smiled. "I'm taking you somewhere."
So, Ethan took Jasmine to Connor's apartment building.
His large flat had been renovated, and they could move in after Jasmine gave birth.
When the door opened, Tom set off a party popper, scaring Jasmine into Ethan's arms.
The apartment was decorated entirely in Jasmine's favorite style, with a dance room and a children's room.
"Welcome to your new home," Tom said like a proper butler.
"We're just here to take a look," Ethan rolled his eyes at Tom.
"Hurry up and move in. I can't stand Connor anymore. Finally, I'll have neighbors," Tom said with a pained expression. "Living with someone with OCD every day, you have no idea what I've been through."
Jasmine poked Ethan. "Ethan also has OCD."
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Honey, I only have OCD with them."
Connor's door opened, and he leaned against the door frame, looking at Ethan, Jasmine, and Tom. "Stop rubbing it in for us single people."
"By the way, Juniper invited you to her birthday party tomorrow. She wants you and Tom to come," Ethan said with a smile.
Connor glanced at Tom. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't prepare a gift."
Tom was confused. When did Juniper invite Connor?
