"The first thing I look for in a man is whether he is faithful or not. The guy who still mourns his late fiancee even though it has been over a year is a perfect example of a faithful man but too bad the one he yearns for is a dead woman which I can't compete against. He would have been the perfect one for me if he was not beyond my reach," Jasmine said in a calm tone.
"Why do you have one thing or the other to say to discredit all the suitors I choose for you?" Mrs Avans asked her pitch rising higher to shows that she was angry. "Is there really something wrong with all the suitors I have chosen for you or are you doing all this because of him?" Mrs Avans asked. Her fury made her momentarily forget that Jasmine hates talking about him.
"Mum, I will very much appreciate it if you don't mention his name ever in my presence," Jasmine said fiercely as she stood up from the couch almost immediately.
