Jackson was going through a tough time due to Jasmine disappearance. Others weren't doing so great because of the same reason that is why he didn't want to add to everyone's problem.
Another reason he didn't tell any other person about his plights was that out of everyone, Jasmine was the closest to Catherine. She was the perfect person to talk to Catherine and Catherine would listen to.
"We are buddies right so there is no need for that," Jasmine said as she smiles at him. Despite that, she had given him her words she could see that he still looks very gloomy.
"Pretty Boy, stop looking very sad like your wife left you and cheer up because I will talk some senses into that best friend of mine. She wouldn't dare to treat you unkindly after I finished talking to her, you can trust me on that," Jasmine promised in a serious tone. Jeff's mood brightened up slightly after she finishes talking.
The two ate and afterwards went their separate ways.
