The Rhyme of the Depositary

140 - SEASON 2

Jasmine stood in Alice's living room with a very chaotic face. Her blond hair was irregularly shaved. The pearl pinch he was wearing on his left side had long since slipped out of nowhere. His face showed a shadow. There was no longer the calm and flat attitude he usually had. The long suit he was wearing looked crumpled here and there. He was now walking around the central space with erratic steps.

Not far from him, Daniel sat in the same unshakable manner. He tried to calm himself down to control the situation, but failed. The atmosphere between them was heating up quickly.

"Can you sit down and talk like an adult?" Daniel said for the fourth time with a high tone.

The woman looked at Daniel with both eyes narrowed unhappily. His hands touch his neck repeatedly, trying to hold back as much as possible. With her circumstances like this, success made Jasmine's appearance even more chaotic.

"This pregnancy is none of your business, Daniel. No matter if I'm pregnant or not, it has nothing to do with you." Jasmine twisted her body, emphasizing her every word.

"Of course it's related to me if the seed you're carrying is mine!" Daniel clenched his teeth, feeling clueless with Jasmine's stubbornness.

"Where did you hear this senseless news?" Jasmine shifted the topic.

There are only a few people who know about the fact that Jasmine is pregnant. Alice and William are one of them. There must have been some of them who told Daniel the truth.

Jasmine didn't know how to react. She trusted Alice and William. They were one of those people who cared deeply about her and paid attention to every single affair that Jasmine had. There was no way they would do something that would make Jasmine have any trouble. Therefore, if perhaps they were to expose this fact to Daniel, perhaps they would have their own reasons.

Merely, Jasmine still did not understand what was happening. She wanted to keep the secret that she was pregnant. He also did not want to take unnecessary risks about his son later. Therefore, neither Alice nor William should have leaked this fact to Daniel without Jasmine's knowledge. After all, this was a big secret that he tried to keep secret and he covered up from everyone.

Later, if things got better, Jasmine intended to ask Alice about all of this. Jasmine suspects that it was the woman who had passed on the information about her pregnancy to Daniel. Maybe Alice had a reason of her own, but in any case, Jasmine needed to talk about this matter in more detail. There is a boundary line where one cannot do anything beyond the boundaries. Therefore, all of this became even more complicated for Jasmine right now. Alice had violated Jasmine's trust.

"Maybe Alice, right? He gave you this information?" jasmine asked withstanding emotions.

Jasmine is a woman who more often has a calm and unemotional expression. Indeed, sometimes Jasmine could also act something out of control. But compared to the percentages, He rarely does such things. Right now was one of those moments where he completely lost control and looked chaotic on the inside out. Jasmine could imagine that her appearance was very unfavourable. He was filled with anger, disappointment, fear, uncertainty, and many other emotions mixed together. In Daniel's sharp eyes, perhaps his expression must have been easy to read. Jasmine no longer cared. This situation is out of his control. He only hopes that this conversation with Daniel will not have a bad effect on his life and the future of Jasmine with his son.

"Yes, Alice did it. But you don't have to be angry with him. After all, Alice was just trying to do the right thing. Sensitive issues like this should indeed be discussed in a good way. Not always a secret can be harbored just like you originally wanted, Jasmine."

Daniel tries to explain Alice's position to Jasmine. She doesn't want Alice to be blamed for telling Daniel about Jasmine's pregnancy. However, Alice is his friend who tries to convey the truth to Daniel. Alice must have meant well by conveying this so that Daniel could take good and right action in the future. He did not want to just because Alice revealed this problem, the friendship and friendship of Jasmine and Alice who had been well-established would be destroyed and damaged. Hopefully, Jasmine can figure out the point of this problem.

"This matter is my whole problem, Daniel. William, Alice or whoever it is out there, they all have no right to dictate what I should do and what I should not do. It's about my life, it's about me, it's about my territory. I am an independent woman. My problem is my problem, it will never be your problem, someone else's problem, or anyone else's problem. So, I stress again, this pregnancy is not your problem at all. Don't take a position for a business that's none of your business, Daniel! Don't interfere!"

Jasmine pressed down on the air with her index end. His face flushed showing anger. His forehead was wrinkled erratically, evidence that he was getting tense and out of control. Jasmine stomped at the tip of the thin footwear she was wearing, as if so her anger could be fully conveyed to the man sitting before her.

Jasmine's reaction only made Daniel believe his conjecture. Jasmine was actually pregnant, and most likely it was her child. Otherwise, Jasmine's reaction would not be this powerful in denying her.

Alice had indeed provided the correct information. His friend was unlikely to play around with empty words in such an important matter. Daniel's only desire right now is to talk to Jasmine like an adult and make certain deals. It seems that what he wants will have a lot of difficulties. Jasmine was difficult to be neutral and never held back her indistinct anger. Just this time he saw a pregnant woman and tried not to acknowledge his son's future father. Out there, the opposite is happening. Women who contain the seeds of their partners will demand more responsibility. There are even those for the sake of tying a couple, they pretend to be pregnant.

Sometimes, Daniel doesn't understand the way Jasmine thinks. Women are like magical robots that do a lot of things outside of normal. His actions and attitude were very contrary to the majority of other women.

"From your reaction, I concluded you were pregnant with my son!"

"You can't just talk!"

"And you can't lie to me!"

"It would be my business if the baby you bear was mine!"

"You have no right to have anything that's part of me!"

"That part will belong to me too if I contribute to the process!"

"We only did it one night. You pay me, and I get your pay. It was an unwritten agreement that whatever happened outside that night was entirely at my risk and consequence. What do you think striped men pay women for? Because they want to have fun without wanting to take the risks. In other words, the money they paid as insurance from their disengagement against all the normal consequences!"

Jasmine tried to sit down and express her opinion. The meaning of a paid woman is someone who is made an object in a momentary pleasure transaction for a certain fee. The payment was a pleasure deal that did not attract other demands. That's why a woman is taking such a huge risk. From venereal disease, pregnancy, and good name. There's no history of a paid woman demanding responsibility from the man who wore it for several nights. That is the real work of prostitution. Working at great risk. With a large payday, of course.

"I can do anything as long as the baby is mine."

"I told you you don't have the right to claim something that's part of me. If I'm pregnant with your son—"

"Not if, but you're pregnant with my son. That's a fact of the moment."

Daniel was thinking of taking convincing actions around the child Jasmine conceived. DNA testing or something. Daniel had heard that the action could be taken while the fetus was still in the fetus.

But seeing the rejection reactions from Jasmine, the stronger Jasmine denied, the stronger Daniel was convinced of that reality. Jasmine seems to be pregnant with her child.

"Oh, dear Mr. Stranger. You can't just accuse a paid woman of conceiving your child. Please use your logic. Even if I'm pregnant, it could be that the seed I have belongs to another man. So, just finish that useless debate of yours!"

"If so, just do a DNA test and prove that the kid has nothing to do with me at all. I will no longer urge you if you manage to show me the DNA test results as self-evidence!" Daniel said out loud. He showed his face this time.

"But if the evidence suggests otherwise, then I'll make sure I keep pushing you!"

Jasmine laughed sinisterly by raising her head. Daniel spoke as if he was an indisputable superior. Organize all things as he wishes, no matter how Jasmine actually feels.

Itis funny. A really cruel joke. Jasmine is a woman who doesn't like to be under someone else's orders. He does not like every action to be limited or restrained. Daniel really dreams if he thinks he can control Jasmine in full.

"You want to urge me? In what way, Daniel? Asking me to drop this content just so I don't have a child with a lowly woman like me?" Jasmine stared at the figure before her with a look of disdainful eyes.

A rich man with an unblemished background like Daniel is a very predictable man. A man who certainly has no different attitude and behavior like Jack, the man who had been her husband before. Such a man was a man who put forward a big name and position. A man who would never want to have a child with a cheap woman like Jasmine. By all means, the man would definitely press Jasmine to obliterate his own fruit. Just to make sure Daniel doesn't have a dirty and inappropriate trace of being with a witch.

"abort? Of course not!" Daniel frowned in disbelief, looking at Jasmine with a very sharp look. His body gesture was stiff, showing the tension that Daniel was currently experiencing. Jasmine did not pay attention to that, she was busy with her own thoughts that were currently already extremely chaotic.

"What lounge? Waiting for this child to be born then killing him so that your good name is not tarnished?!"

"No! I will pressure you to get married to provide a good environment for this child. If I don't want to get married, then I'll legally process it to be put under my hands completely!"
