Chapter 25 Celebrating New Year for the first time in the peak of summer , Kinsley and Yazmin both found it fascinating . Yazmins father and mother , Carson and Adelyn , brought many things from their home country . The two little girls were sticking couplets and window decorations in the living room . Looking at the lively atmosphere in the house , after many years , Kinsley finally felt the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year again . Since her grandmother passed away , she has been spending Chinese New Years Eve alone . Although Donte would come to accompany her , it was usually in the evening , before eight oclock , and she would be alone at home . All she could feel was an exceptionally intense loneliness , set against the backdrop of the lively world around her . She thought that after getting married in the new year , she would be able to change this situation . But unexpectedly , the marriage did not happen , and the New Year was spent with someone . Busy in the kitchen , Adelyn served a plate of freshly fried meatballs and smiled warmly as she asked her to taste the flavor , her tone filled with concern and affection . Kinsley , this is Yazmins favorite dish . Give Aunties cooking a try and see if it suits your taste . Kinsley took a bite , but didnt have time to give her opinion . Yazmin , who was playing with her phone , ran over eagerly , opening her mouth and waiting to be fed . Kinsley picked up a piece of jerky and intended to let it cool down before feeding it to her , but she couldnt wait and took a bite directly . Watching her hopping around in pain from being scalded , Kinsley went to fetch a glass of water and returned , only to be embraced by Adelyn , who couldnt stop laughing . Dont spoil her , always thinking about food all the time , I wonder what shes so anxious about . Yazmin kept panting , quickly took a sip of water , and then looked over with a displeased expression . Whats spoiled ? Cant Kinsley like me ? We are like sisters , hmph ! 1/4 Her childish appearance made Kinsley cant help but chuckle . She kept nodding her head in agreement , with a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth . With someone supporting her , Yazmin became even more proud . She stepped forward and grabbed his hand , acting coquettishly . Kinsley , if you dont mind , why not consider me as your younger sister ? You see , I could wash dishes , make you laugh , and even accompany you for shopping . We would be such a perfect match . When saying this , Yazmins funny and mischievous expression made Kinsley finally unable to hold back and burst into laughter . Adelyn raised her hand and tapped her daughters forehead , making a clicking sound . Did you really want to be my sister , or were you just trying to openly mooch off Kinsleys meals ? What freeloading ! I was sincere and genuine , without any ulterior motives . Mom , dont slander me ! After Yazmin firmly clarified her statement , she then pleaded with Kinsley , holding onto her arm . Promise me , Kinsley , so that I could just call you sister directly in the future . It would be so much easier ! It wasnt a big deal either , Kinsley was easily persuaded and naturally agreed . Seeing her nod , Yazmin was so happy that she couldnt find her way , and she jumped and twirled several times . Carson , who was carrying a large plate of fish , came out and confidently protected the dish . Thats great ! You two girls are of similar age and get along well . Its reassuring for us parents that you can take care of each other while abroad . Just that Yazmin is younger , Kinsley , could you please take on more responsibility ? Adelyn also looked at the two people with a face of satisfaction , unable to hide the joy in her eyes . When I first saw Kinsley , I had this thought , but I was too shy to speak up . Now that Kinsley has nodded , I wont hide it anymore . Here , this is a New Years gift for you two sisters , quickly accept it . Adelyn spoke while taking out two gift boxes from her pocket . As soon as she opened it , Kinsley was stunned to see two identical gold bracelets . 2/4 She dared not accept this generous gift , but the Juarez family , mother and daughter , insisted on putting it on her and kept persuading her . A small gift adds joy , Kinsley , there is no need to have any psychological burden . Yeah , we were all family now , so it was normal for sisters to wear the same necklace , right ? Keep it , Kinsley . If you really cant bear it , then help us discipline this girl more . With the continuous persuasion from the family of three , Kinsley finally accepted the gift . Similarly , she also gave one of the jade bracelets that her grandmother had left her to Yazmin . The gold and jade collided between the wrists , making a jingling sound . The two sisters smiled and raised their glasses , celebrating together with the two elders . Another new year has arrived . Chapter 26 In the following two years , Kinsley also spent New Years in Swoeburg . Every year , Yazmins parents would come over to celebrate together. As time went by , the relationship between each other became increasingly intimate . The year they graduated , the Juarez family settled in Mardale , and Yazmin asked her if she had any plans to stay . Kinsley also pondered over this question for a long time . All her close friends at home have already gotten married and started their own families . She lost contact with her parents a long time ago and didnt have any property or assets . From both interpersonal relationships and work focus perspectives , she personally leaned towards staying . So she looked for a job while starting to prepare immigration documents . During that time , the Juarez family helped her a lot and enabled her to get through the difficult times . During her time in school , she managed to save a considerable amount of money with her outstanding abilities , so she opened a small photography studio after graduation . Over the next two years , the size of the studio continued to expand and gradually became established . After four years , Kinsley fulfilled the immigration requirements and applied for permanent residency . When she returned to her country to handle the procedures , she met with friends whom she hadnt seen for a long time . Years have passed since we last parted , time has flown by like frost . Everyone has changed and no longer resembles their youthful selves . But as long as we gather together , we can still find the feeling of being able to talk about anything . What everyone was most concerned about , undoubtedly , was her emotional issues . In the face of everyones enthusiasm for gossip , Kinsley was very open and honest . In the past two years , I had two relationships , but they all ended for various reasons . My current 1/4 boyfriend and I got together in August last year . He is two years younger than me , but his personality is very mature … She was telling about her daily love life while sharing photos and videos with everyone . As they watched the loving appearance of the two people on the screen , everyone showed a relieved expression . We chatted for a while again , and Im not sure who suddenly brought up Donte . Hey , did you hear ? It seems like Donte passed away . Upon hearing this , Kinsleys heart trembled slightly . In recent years , she has been busy with her studies and work , and rarely inquired about domestic affairs . Occasionally , when talking about the past with Yazmin , she always felt that those times were like being shrouded in fog , and she couldnt see clearly . And the name Donte , just like an old , faded photograph , carried a layer of yellowed antiquity . She thought he would gradually let go of that relationship , inherit the family business , and start a new life on the distant shores of the ocean .. But unexpectedly , had already passed away ? The atmosphere in the room turned cold for a moment , and several people carefully observed Kinsleys mood . When she saw her , everyone was shocked , but their hearts settled and they started to chat comfortably . I have also heard about this , Maeve . I was planning to tell you , but then I thought you had already moved on , so I didnt bring up this sad matter . What a sad story , I heard that he apparently tormented that woman named Cantrell enough to provoke her revenge and she ended up stabbing him to death . Its a case of reaping what he sowed . It has been so long since then , and Kinsley couldnt remember what that womans name was . The only impression she had of this person was the car accident that almost destroyed her . So when she heard about the outcome of these two people who completely changed the trajectory of her life , she felt a little bit nostalgic in her heart . Even if there were moments of absent mindedness , they were only brief . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
