Yukon Carbon sat across from Jasmine Yale, his gaze constantly lingering on her face, with gentle ripples in his eyes.
Sweet Kitty found a very comfortable position nestled in Yukon’s arms, closing its eyes and resting.
"This ti I went back for so long, I made you worry." Jasmine held her milk cup, "How have you been lately? I haven’t called you for many days."
"Everything is just the sa, step by step. But you, you must have missed quite a bit of your courses, right? Have you gone back to school?"
"Yeah, I’ve attended classes for two days now. Luckily, I kept reading while back ho, so I can keep up with the courses."
"How many months is the baby?"
Jasmine’s heart instinctively tightened, but she didn’t plan to hide it: "Almost two months."
"Then this is perfect. After the final exams, rest well at ho. I know so professors at the University of Cakago; if you need any introductions, I can help."
"I’m planning to apply for early graduation." Jasmine revealed what was on her mind.
Yukon furrowed his brow. He also graduated from this university and knew it well: "Graduating early is not impossible, but each sester’s credits need to et the early graduation standards."
"I think I should be fine. After the final exams, I plan to go for an internship."
Yukon’s brow furrowed even deeper: "But you’re pregnant..."
"It’s okay. After the final exams, the three-month danger period will be over, so it should be fine. Besides, the internship work will mostly be in the office, no need to run around."
Yukon stared into her eyes for a long ti.
He knew that once she decided on sothing, no one could change her mind.
But what he didn’t understand was, what about the person she loves? Would he let a pregnant woman go to work?
"Jasmine," Yukon looked at her, his expression suddenly becoming serious, "Where’s the child’s father? Is he willing to let you, a pregnant woman, go out looking for a job?"
"He..." Jasmine’s expression turned dazed, her eyes filled with a hazy confusion, "If he were here, he wouldn’t let ..."
Jasmine’s voice was very light, very light, like a thin thread that might break with even a little force.
The confusion in her eyes reappeared.
But Yukon heard it clearly.
Suddenly, he understood sothing.
The baby’s father... is no longer here.
Not at a business trip, not ran away from ho, but gone, passed away.
Yukon’s heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, and the pain swiftly spread through his entire body like air, perating every cell.
Whenever he called Jasmine, he could feel that she really liked that man. That kind of affection wasn’t built in a day but over many years.
"I’m sorry..." Yukon was deeply sorry, he hadn’t expected this, not at all.
"It’s okay." Jasmine lowered her head, taking a sip of milk, "There’s still the baby."
Jasmine didn’t cry. Aunt May had said that pregnant won need to maintain a good mood.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate.
"If you need help finding a job, I can assist," Yukon broke the silence. "You could start with so administrative or translation work, it wouldn’t be too tiring."
"Alright, that’s what I was thinking, but I’m afraid companies don’t want pregnant won."
Companies these days are quite shrewd. There’s hardly any company willing to hire pregnant won.
"Don’t worry, I’m here!" Yukon smiled, "I’ve been in Cakago for years, and I have quite a few friends who own businesses."
