Chapter 148 Children Can’t Cook
Jazmine was caught off guard by his casual words. She felt somewhere numb inside.
She was stunned, with a lot going on in her mind.
Then a voice inside her said, “Are you touched? This man has always loved Yoselin. Don’t think that he is different from before and that he loves you. He acts like this because something is going on between him and Yoselin. He is making fun of you.”
Jazmine slowly made her think rationally.
And the little warmth she felt also faded away.
Giancarlo inadvertently glanced at the mirror and saw that Jazmine didn’t look well. He thought that she was carsick and lowered the window a little.
The fresh air made Jazmine feel a little better. What exactly was he up to? His behavior really made her confused.
Soon, they arrived at the school.
Jazmine pulled the two children into the school as if they were running away from danger.
Giancarlo watched them leave before looking for a place to park the car.
Giancarlo searched for a long time but could not find a parking spot. He was a little annoyed and felt that this school should build one more parking lot.
Jazmine brought the two children back to school. Valerie was still desperately dialing Jazmine’s number, but she couldn’t get it through and almost cried.
Valerie did not dare to meet Cosima.
A teacher saw Jazmine bringing the two children back. She was so excited that she forgot to tell Valerie. Instead, she ran straight to Jazmine.
“Ms. Gardner, why did it take you so long? Follow me now. Cosima is angry. We will all suffer if we can’t fix this problem properly.”
Jazmine did not know who Cosima was and why Cosima made such a fuss about her.
Jazmine didn’t even notice the change in Alice’s expression. Her happy smiling face suddenly darkened, fixed with a bit of worry and fear.
Nina noticed all of this, but she remained calm and collected.
Jazmine brought the two children to the office. Before she entered the door, she realized that she seemed to have lost. They had agreed on half an hour. But Jazmine and the kids had been out for half a day.
In the conference room, Jazmine saw that almost all the parents were still there. There was also a woman who looked very stylish. Her exquisite makeup and hairstyle made her look really beautiful and noble.
Her gaze fell on Alice’s face, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Jazmine realized who Cosima was as this woman looked like Alice.
Cosima glanced at Alice, who was standing behind Nina. Alice had no intention of walking to her mother.
Jazmine thought of Alice’s condition, which seemed to be related to her mother.
As Alice did not immediately greet her. Cosima’s expression changed, and the look in her eyes became very sharp. “Alice, are you unhappy to see me?”
Alice reluctantly walked away from Nina toward Cosima. She whispered, “Mommy.”
“Where have you been?” Cosima lowered her head and stared at Alice’s little head.
Even though Alice did not see her mother’s face, Alice began to tremble. She did not dare to say a single word.
Cosima saw the expression on Alice’s face when she had just walked in.
The bright smile was filled with joy. At that moment, Cosima thought that Alice had already recovered and would not become a lunatic.
But Alice would be so resistant when Cosima spoke to her.
How could Cosima not be angry?
“Alice, why are you lowering your head when talking to me? Do you know this is rude? Is this what you learned in this school? Which teacher taught you to treat your mother so rudely?”
Jazmine originally did not intend to intervene in the conversation between the mother and daughter.
However, Cosima was so fierce to a delicate child, even in front of so many people. A child had self– respect
too.
Jazmine really couldn’t help but say, “Hello, Cosima.”
Cosima was already full of anger. At first, she was very worried about Alice. When she realized that Alice’s bright smile was not for her, she was even angrier.
Not only was Cosima angry at Alice, but also at Jazmine.
Now that Jazmine showed up, Cosima instantly became furious.
However, as she had been socializing for a long time, she managed to stay calm. She even smiled and said to
Jazmine, “Hello, are you Ms. Gardner who took Alice away?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Jazmine knew that this was the real beginning, but she did not fear it. Instead, she smiled, “Yes, Mrs. Tudor. The first time I saw Alice, I felt that she was exceptionally cute. However, when I saw Alice alone, I thought
that she was not used to school life, so I wanted to take her with me to make sure of it.”
When Cosima heard this, she let out an “oh” with a plain expression.
Yoselin aside saw that Cosima did not scold Jazmine but chatted with her. Yoselin felt that she had to make a
change.
“Cosima, I’m really sorry. We previously advised Ms. Gardner not to take such a risk. After all, Alice is different from other children, but she feels that her method is correct.”
Everyone knew that Alice was different, but no one dared to say it.
That was a slip of the tongue as Yoselin was so agitated. She said it in front of Cosima.
To Cosima, it was like saying that her child was crazy.
Cosima’s face instantly darkened.
Jazmine glanced at Alice. Sure enough, Alice looked hurt. Jazmine knew that Yoselin’s words had hurt Alice’s feelings.
Jazmine hurriedly said, “Mrs. Tudor, they think that there is something wrong with Alice, but I don’t think so. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my daughter. They cooked together. The lunch we had today was made by these two girls.‘ ”
The people present did not believe this, including Cosima.
However, Jazmine was protecting Alice, which somehow defended Cosima’s pride, so Cosima would not rebuke it.
Cosima added, “Oh? Really?”
Jazmine wanted to confirm it, but she heard Yoselin say, “They are only five–year–old children. Cooking? Don’t you even know how to lie?”
