Chapter 1715 Some Hearts Are Meant To Be Cold
Yacóns were indeed more popular in Jadeborough this year.
First, this winter was much colder compared to previous years, and the freezing weather was not conducive to the
growth of the plant. Second, yacóns had a high nutritional value.
As such, it was not easy for Sasha to obtain those tickets.
Even if that was the case, it did not seem reasonable for Sabrina to ask her daughter, who was barely ten, to go all
out picking yacóns for her.
Unable to hold back any longer, Sasha looked at her niece affectionately and said, “Jaena, don't listen to your mom.
Just pick about ten pounds of yacóns will do. Who do you want to partner with?”
Sasha's care for Jaena allowed the girl to feel like a child once again.
“I'll partner up with Vivi then.”
After taking a look at the other children, Jaena partnered Vivian, who was good-tempered and had a pleasant
personality.
She did not choose Matteo or Ian as she was sure that the boys would oppress her.
Vivian did not raise any objections when she heard her cousin's choice, and both of them went to collect their
baskets.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNina kept quiet while watching the duo.
Sasha was a wise woman with sharp observation skills. She could guess the girl's thoughts just by looking at her
expression. “What is it? Do you want to team up with Vivian as well?” she asked, stroking Nina's head.
Just when the girl was about to nod her head, Matteo walked over.
“Why would Nina want her as a partner? Vivian's pretty weak. Besides, she has Jaena to take care of already. Nina
can come with me instead.”
After Matteo finished speaking, he pulled Nina toward him as the girl glared at him angrily.
Sasha could not help but be amused at their interaction.
After that was decided, the only one remaining was six-year-old Jeffrey, who would be partnering Ian. Even though
the latter was usually aloof, he was mature and calm. Among the triplets, he had the most patience toward kids.
The teams were ready to set off. Suddenly, someone was seen walking toward them from outside Oceanic Estate.
“Mrs. Jadeson, Ms. Sabrina, are both of you going out?”
That person, who was carrying a few bags, was momentarily stunned to see that Sasha and Sabrina were taking
the kids out.
When Sasha saw the woman, she stopped in her tracks at once.
“Oh, we're just heading out to have some fun with the children. Mrs. Cooper, what brings you here?”
The visitor turned out to be Tillie, Edmund's wife, whom she had not met for a long time.
For the past four years, even though Tillie and Edmund got along well with each other, and the Cooper family had
been prospering, the couple remained childless.
At that moment, even a fool could read the envious look on her face as she stared at the house full of children.
“Mrs. Jadeson, I'm here to deliver some local specialty produce to you. These were grown by my grandparents. I
came over when I heard your family has finally returned. I hope you'll enjoy them,” Tillie said before placing the
bags on the table.
Both Sasha and Sabrina looked at the bags full of premium organic local produce that contained no artificial or
harmful pesticides.
Touched by her sincerity, Sasha instructed a servant to put the things away immediately before saying, “Mrs.
Cooper, you're too kind. Quickly, have a seat inside. Would you like some breakfast?”
“No thanks. I've already eaten. I have to go back to help with meal preparation at home. Since it's the festive
season, my sister-in-law will be coming over with her family later. I need to finish cooking before they arrive.”
Tillie had a helpless look in her eyes as she spoke.
The Cooper family had experienced some changes over the past four years. Alice, the Coopers' second daughter,
had finally gotten married and given birth to a child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the child was born, the woman started going back to the Cooper residence more often.
Whenever Tillie's mother-in-law saw her grandchild, she would subtly mock Tillie for not being able to bear a child
after marrying into the Cooper family for so long. Hearing such words was extremely upsetting for Tillie.
There was also Violet, the Coopers' most pretentious third daughter.
She was also the most worrisome child. Ever since she was dumped a few years back, she became a laughingstock
in Jadeborough. In recent years, other than hooking up with different men, she was constantly asking for money
from her mother.
If Tillie had not been hiding it from Edmund, given the man's temper, he might have already killed his sister.
Tillie had been suffering in silence on her own. Looking at the blissful family in front of her, the woman smiled and
said, “Mrs. Jadeson, I'll head back first then. I'll pay you another visit with Edmund next time.”
“All right. Take care and don't overexert yourself,” Sasha reminded.
After Tillie left, Sabrina turned to look at her sister-in-law a moment later, having seemed to notice the hidden
meaning in her words.
“Why did you ask her not to overexert herself? Do you know something?”
“Oh...” Sasha sighed.
