Butler Santana coaxed and cajoled Little Clementine into being obedient.
Butler Santana first took Little Clementine away, leaving Jasmine Yale to sit alone in the private room, silently eating her meal.
The final dish was a serving of clear soup with lotus root and sweet dumplings.
Eating dumplings can bring reunion and harmony.
Someone once said that.
But Jasmine Yale lost her appetite halfway through, her gaze falling on the dumplings in the bowl, with a silent gleam in her eyes.
After Butler Santana and Little Clementine left, the private room became very quiet.
Since Little Clementine was born, she hadn't had such a quiet moment; every moment was spent around Little Clementine, leaving her few moments for herself.
Yet she didn't like quiet; she preferred the bustle, only in the bustle could she forget her unpleasantness.
Jasmine Yale didn't linger in the quiet private room, she settled the bill and went to the marketplace.
