Jasmine paused for a moment as if she didn’t expect such a kid to ask such a question.
She reached out to touch his head, “You’re still young, how come you are so mentally mature…”
Before she could finish her words, Chris grabbed her hand and clutched it tightly in his hand, gazing
towards Boyce, “You mean that you’re in love with Ms. Burke?”
Boyce said graciously when facing these children’s questioning, “Yes.”
Chris thought to himself, ‘Sure enough, no wonder Ms. Burke was crying in his arms.’ Worrying that
Boyce would not treat Jasmine well in the future, he asked, “Will you treat Ms. Burke well?”
Jasmine looked at Chris, “Chris…”
“Ms. Burke, you don’t have a family, but we are your family. We will protect you and won’t let anyone
look down on you or bully you easily.”
“That’s right.” The other students gathered around and shielded Jasmine behind them, unanimously
questioning Boyce, “Will you be nice to Ms. Burke?”
Jasmine, who had already calmed down, was touched by the students again. She hid her lips, smiling,
but tears in her eyes.
Boyce was calm, but his heart was fluttering. These children’s kindness also struck him.
‘Look, how simple they are. They will be good to whomever they are good to wholeheartedly, without
any fake.’
The best feelings in this world were nothing more than pure sincerity.
He answered seriously and earnestly, “I will be good to her.”
“We remember that. We won’t let you off the hook if you can’t do that!” Chris spearheaded, and
everyone followed suit.
Jasmine patted Chris’s shoulder, “Alright, does your leg still hurt?”
It had stopped hurting initially, probably that he had forgotten about it. And when Jasmine asked about
it, it seemed to hurt again. He sat down on the bench and sighed, “I had wanted to marry you when I
grew up, but now someone else has beaten me to it.”
Jasmine had just been touched, with the mist still in her eyes, and Chris’s words again amused her.
“You kid.”
“Will you marry him, Ms. Burke?” Jenny asked with a wink.
Jasmine choked for a moment. She could show her love to Boyce generously and treat him with her
most sincere heart.
But marriage was not something she could decide.
Marriage was a matter for two people, not something she could decide alone.
Much less she could decide it alone.
“Erm…” Jasmine thought about how to explain to the children, and Boyce opened his mouth before she
could think about it yet. He looked at Jasmine and said solemnly, “We will get married.”
His voice was solemn and sonorous, without a hint of concealment.
He would go back as soon as possible to deal with Wendy’s affairs and then bring her back.
Jasmine looked up at him, with her hands clutching the hem of her dress uneasily. She should be
happy, but at this moment, she didn’t know how to react. She felt excited inside and also restless.
She was afraid that it was all a dream.
When she left, she thought that she would never have the chance to meet him again in her life. And
yet, once again, he appeared in front of her and even gave her what she desired and wanted the most.
Her eyes were filled with tears again, but she smiled, “You guys are really annoying, always trying to
make me cry.”
Boyce walked over and reached out to wipe her tears, comforting, “I’ll think I said the wrong thing when
you cry. Don’t cry, okay?”
Chris blinked, thinking that Boyce was so silly, “Shouldn’t you give Ms. Burke a hug now? What are
your shoulders for?”
Jasmine lowered her head and smiled. She knew that Boyce wasn’t the kind of person who was good
at flattering. He was always so rigid in everything he did. At this moment, even a kid dared to talk about
him.
‘How much of a failure was he as a man?’
Boyce looked down and rubbed his nose. He wanted to do that, but he felt inappropriate as there were
many children here.
“Give her a hug.” Chris coaxed, and everyone followed suit as if they were shouting a slogan, “Give her
a hug. Give her a hug…”
“Don’t mess around.” Jasmine pretended to be angry.
“You’ve really let us down.” Chris sighed, “You’ve disgraced us as a man.”
Boyce held his forehead helplessly, thinking in his mind that was he even not qualified to be a man?
Jasmine knew Boyce’s personality. So for everyone to stop fooling around, she stood on tiptoe and
wrapped her arms around Boyce, whispering in his ear, “It’s okay. Just be yourself. Let me take the
initiative to hug you from now on.”
A kind heart and warm hands were all that a mortal had. Boyce was touched by Jasmine, and he
hugged her too. Words were not needed to shake his heart. He didn’t speak, but his heart to be with
her for the rest of his life became more and more firm.
After being with Jasmine, he could feel his heart beating uncontrollably from time to time and the
various sensations she brought to him that he hadn’t felt before.
“Jasmine…”
Keith had something to look for Jasmine. When he came in, he saw the two people hugging each other
in the children’s middle. His words stuck in his throat for a moment.
Jasmine let go of him first. Boyce felt a bit uncomfortable, but he didn’t let Jasmine face it alone. He
reached out to hold her hand, looking towards the door and asked, “Do you need her for something?”
Keith’s gaze fell on Boyce’s hand, holding Jasmine’s. He withdrew his gaze quickly and said,
“Someone is looking for you.”
“Looking for me?” Boyce asked uncertainly.
It wasn’t like he knew anyone here.
“Yes, looking for you.” Keith said with certainty. At this time, a figure appeared at the classroom door,
and his appearance gradually came into everyone’s view. He looked across the classroom, glanced
over Boyce’s face and finally gazed at Jasmine, but talking to Boyce, “I’m looking for you.”
