"Jasmine, if he had told me that he liked Harper before we got married, I wouldn't have forced him." Ann Nolan shook her head, "I'm not that unreasonable."
"But he didn't say?"
"Yes, he has never mentioned Harper in front of me until we got married. I then found out they had been dating for a long time."
Disappointment flowed through Jasmine Yale.
So that was it.
"Jasmine, I'm sorry I rambled so much all of a sudden. Let's eat and stop talking about this." Ann apologized with a smile.
"If something is bothering you, express it. Keeping it bottled up is uncomfortable", Jasmine knew this feeling too well.
Ann, having no relatives in Landon, probably never shared these matters with anyone.
Swallowing her feelings in silence.
All the sweetness and bitterness buried deep in her heart.
Jasmine knew this feeling well, it was unbearable.
Just like when she lost her baby three years ago, she never mentioned it to anyone, licking her wounds alone in silence.
