Chapter 203: Chapter 201: Just Consider It Loving the House and the Crow

Not only was Saul Thorne handsome and well-off, he was also thoughtful and considerate. Jasmine Sterling was thoroughly pleased.

"I should let Cecilia know. She told me to tell her if I was going out."

Jasmine Sterling didn’t refuse. ’Saul came all this way,’ she thought. ’And it’s not like I have anything better to do at home anyway.’

Saul Thorne nodded. "Alright, I’ll give her a heads-up too. Ma’am, why don’t you get ready? I’ll wait for you downstairs."

About half an hour later, Jasmine Sterling was ready and came downstairs.

"I’m ready, Saul Thorne. Shall we go?"

Saul Thorne stood up. Seeing that Jasmine Sterling was only wearing a cotton sweatsuit, he offered her the overcoat in his hands. "Ma’am, you’re not wearing enough. Put on my coat, it’ll be warmer."

Jasmine Sterling took it and asked with concern, "Aren’t you cold?"

Saul Thorne was wearing a coffee-colored sweater underneath. He smiled and shook his head. "I grew up in Lorcain. It’s not even the coldest part of the year yet. I’m used to it."

"By the way, Ma’am, I also brought you some of Lorcain’s local specialties. I left them in the cabinet by the door. Remember to take them when you leave. I prepared two sets of everything, one for your sister’s family as well."

Hearing this, Jasmine Sterling couldn’t suppress a happy smile. "Oh, my, look at you. You’re making me feel a bit embarrassed. Why are you being so polite?"

"This isn’t just me being polite; it’s what I should do. Ma’am, you can just think of it as me loving everything about Cecilia."

He really had a way with words. But hearing them from Saul Thorne wasn’t off-putting in the slightest. In fact, she loved hearing it; it made her happy.

They left the house and got into Saul Thorne’s Jeep. As they drove toward the SKP mall, Saul Thorne said casually, "Ma’am, I’ll take you to the mall first to buy a suitable warm overcoat. After that, you can tell me where you’d like to go, and I’ll take you there."

"Don’t be fooled by the fact that Hearthstone Villas is a villa district. Its location is actually a quiet oasis in the heart of the bustling city. It’s close to everything, so it’s convenient to get anywhere."

Jasmine Sterling listened and nodded along. In any case, she was happy to go along with whatever Saul Thorne had planned.

"Ma’am, is the God Jumps Over the Wall on your stove okay? We wouldn’t want it to burn."

Jasmine Sterling laughed. "It’s fine. This is only the second day, it won’t stick to the pot."

Besides, her daughter’s gas stove had a pilot light mode—no open flame—which completely eliminated the risk of a fire. You could leave something simmering on the stove and go out with complete peace of mind.

Once they arrived at SKP, Saul Thorne patiently accompanied Jasmine Sterling as she browsed the mall. Although the goal was to buy a warm overcoat, since they were already there, he was determined to let her shop to her heart’s content and buy anything she liked.

"Saul Thorne."

As they were browsing, Jasmine Sterling suddenly spoke up. "I have to make something clear first. I’m very grateful that you’re willing to take the time to bring me out shopping, but if I decide to buy clothes or anything else today, you have to let me pay for it myself."

Jasmine Sterling knew she couldn’t spend Saul Thorne’s money.

It was true that Saul Thorne was her daughter’s boyfriend, but for now, that was his only title. He had no real relationship with her. Therefore, Jasmine Sterling understood that she absolutely could not let him pay for her. Otherwise, it might throw his relationship with her daughter off balance.

Besides, it wasn’t a matter of money. It was a matter of principle, a matter of stance.

Saul Thorne was very smart; how could he not understand what Jasmine Sterling meant?
