Chapter 192

Jasmine nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

All she wanted was not to be left alone.

Thorne made a quick call to Granger, asking him if he could take Jasmine out for the day.

Granger was on board, “Sure thing.”

Come Saturday, Granger took Jasmine and Daisy to the local amusement park.

There were attractions aplenty, from the whimsical to the adrenaline-pumping. Yet, for all the variety, Jasmine seemed disinterested, a shadow of her usually lively self.

It was clear something was weighing on her mind.

Granger returned with ice creams for her and Daisy, handing one to each.

poking at her face, which reminded him of Charlene, he asked, “Minnie, not feeling up to it today?”

As she gently swung back and forth, Jasmine licked her ice cream and whispered, “I kinda miss my mom.”

Back when they lived abroad, it wasn’t unusual for months to pass without seeing her mom. But, her mom would call every day, video chat even.

Lately, her mom had been busy, yet she’d still answer Jasmine’s calls every few days and make it a point to cook for her when she was home.

But now, Jasmine’s calls went unanswered. This was uncharted territory for them.

Granger, aware of the divorce between Charlene and Thorne and the custody decision favoring Thorne, was out of the loop on the current state of their relationship.

Hearing Jasmine’s concerns, Granger inquired, “What happened?”

Jasmine shared her worries about her mom not answering her calls.

Granger knew Jasmine was in the dark about her parents’ divorce.

Hearing her concerns, Granger found himself at a loss for words, eventually saying, “Your mom probably didn’t mean to miss your calls. She’s just caught up with work right now. It’ll get better.” Jasmine nodded, “Yeah, dad said the same.”

Granger fell silent, not knowing what else to say.

Daisy, seeing Jasmine upset, chimed in, “I miss my aunt too. But my uncle says she’s busy as well. Adults are always caught up in something. It’ll get better.”

Jasmine nodded again, “Okay.”

Granger hadn’t reached out to Charlene, not because she was busy, but because he feared the divorce and losing custody of Jasmine had taken a toll on her. He worried that asking her to spend time with Daisy might bring back painful memories and worsen her mood. Around five in the afternoon, after wrapping up his work, Thorne called Granger, “Where are you guys?”

After getting the location, Thorne drove over to meet them.

“Daddy!”

Despite Granger’s kindness, the sight of Thorne lifted Jasmine’s spirits like no other.

Thorne, leaving his coat in the car and dressed in a sleek suit, bent down to lift her into his arms and squeezed

her cheek, asking, “Did you have fun with Granger and Daisy today?”

Jasmine’s mood had visibly improved.

She nodded, “Yeah, it was fun!”

She clung to Thorne, refusing to let go.

Thorne carried her into the restaurant, only setting her down once they were inside a private dining area, before turning to Granger, “Thanks for today.”

“It was nothing,” Granger replied. “The girls entertained themselves, really. Made it easy for me.”

With the kids preoccupied, Granger turned to Thorne, hinting, “I know you’ve got Minnie’s custody, but what about visitation rights? How’s that going to work?” Thorne caught the drift of his concern, chuckling, “You think I’m stopping her from seeing Jasmine?”
