We had been together since high school, but I had never seen him clearly.
I turned and left, looking back at Jasmine who was lying on the ground.
"Aunt, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known he is such a man. I have to thank you.
"By the way, Chris, this is my house. I'm not as ruthless as you. I will give you some time to move out."
I picked up my phone and turned to leave, but Chris grabbed my hand and asked me what I meant.
"I mean you should pack up your things and get out of here before 8 a.m. tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll drive you out."
"It's difficult for me to find a new house in such a short time. Joyce, don't leave!"
I slammed the door and walked out, ignoring Chris' shouting.

I lived in a small town in the north.
My father Sam Clark came from the countryside. After graduating with a doctorate, he stayed at the university as a teacher. He fell in love with my mother Jenny at first sight, and they quickly got married and gave birth to me.
They had a very good relationship, and their every quarrel was because of Jasmine.
My grandparents had a daughter when they were middle-aged, so they doted on Jasmine very much. After they passed away, Jasmine had been living in our house.
