Sarah’s eyes dimmed; she didn’t know whether she should tell Jasmine the truth.
Jasmine had been observing her expression. Sarah’s complicated feelings didn’t go unnoticed. Jasmine took another sip of dessert and asked, "Now you know that captain was behind all this. Don’t you find it strange that why he chose to retire instead of transferring to other positions? Regarding to his status, he could easily get a promising post."
"Well… Maybe he wants to retire and go back home to inherit the family property." Sarah blurted out.
"Why? The family property can’t run away." Jasmine knew Sarah was making excuse for captain. "Retirement would do no good to his career. Why did he choose to do so, Pumpkin?"
Sarah fell silent.
What Jasmine said made sense.
She found no reason to refute it.
