“Why don’t you say anything?” Jasmine looked at Boyce, who was lost in thought, and asked.
Boyce quickly responded, “Nothing, I’m just thinking of something else.”
Jasmine did not continue to ask questions and gave a faint smile.
They went out today, so there were lots of foods. A friend of Boyce came over today, and Jasmine was
going to cook more dishes to serve Armand.
Boyce lived alone, and he didn’t know how to cook. Most of the time, he would eat instant noodles.
Now, he could only help her by washing the vegetables and the rest had to be done by Jasmine.
Outside, it was a hot day and Armand did not go too far. He just stroll around nearby and stopped in
front of the school. The children here were all very simple and naive. As he thought about the fact that
he and Theresa could not have children in the future, he felt very down.
This would be their lifelong regret.
It was said that children were the fruit of their parents’ love. Without children, was it a sign that they
could only love each other, but wouldn’t have any fruits of their love?
He did not dare to express that he liked children in front of Theresa. He was afraid that Theresa would
feel more upset if he did that.
Theresa was the saddest person for not able to have children.
His gaze was gloomy. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Theresa. He wrote, ‘Theresa,
I miss you so much.’
These words were from the bottom of his heart.
In City C…
Oscar took Theresa to a very nice restaurant to eat. He said with a smile, “You should have come here
with Armand. However, he doesn’t know City C well, so he doesn’t know places with nice food as well
as I do. The lamb chop here tastes excellent, I guarantee that you will crave for it once you’ve tried it.”
Theresa laughed, “Uncle, you should find a girlfriend. It will be so pathetic to live alone lifelong.”
“I’m very comfortable living alone. I can change woman whenever I want. If I get a fixed girlfriend, she’ll
control me. How uncomfortable will it be? I’m not crazy to treat myself like this.” Oscar was used to it.
He, as a normal man, would definitely have needs too. Then again, he could have any kind of women
as long as he got the money.
He would not find trouble for himself, and he couldn’t fail the trust of the person who passed away.
“Here, let’s sit here.” Oscar pulled out a chair for Theresa. She smiled and said thank you.
“There’s no need to be so polite to me.” Oscar sat down on the opposite side.
Then, a waiter came over. Oscar knew the menu here, so he ordered a few delicious dishes.
“Have some wine?” Oscar asked, “I have a good bottle of red wine hidden. Do you want to try it?”
“Sure, since someone is willing to treat me to dinner and some good wine, of course I’ll accept it.”
Theresa said with a smile.
Oscar gave her a thumbs-up. “I like you being frank. However, you just reconciled with Armand, it’s not
good for you to be shared.”
Theresa lowered her eyelids, “It’s always good to give him a test after reconciled.”
She knew that Armand had no parents, but only a grandmother. His grandmother was very eager to
have a grandchild. She could not image how Armand’s grandma, Elizabeth, would react when she
knew that she was infertile.
Would she oppose them being together? Or ask for a surrogate mother?
Now, she did not dare to think too much about it. She would only retreat after thinking about it.
“That’s right, after all, you’re going to spend your lives together, it’s good to have a test.” Oscar
expressed his approval.
“I see that Armand is a good person, and you suit each other too.” Oscar said. At this moment, the
waiter brought the dishes and Oscar’s wine to the table. He opened the bottle and poured a glass of
wine for Theresa.
Theresa picked up the tall glass and was ready to taste the wine, the phone in her bag vibrated. She
took out her phone and the top of the notification bar showed Armand’s name. She clicked on the
message and saw the message saying that he missed her.
Her eyes darkened and she replied quickly, ‘Come and see me then.’
Armand was just called by Boyce to return to the house. He sat down on a chair. Jasmine cooked a few
delicious dishes. He heard the message ringtone from his phone. He took out his phone quickly and
saw the content of Theresa’s message. Then, the corner of his mouth was grinning with joy.
“What made you so happy?” Jasmine was giving him a bowl.
Boyce answered, “Normally, when he showed this expression, it should mean that he was summoned
by Theresa. It’s like when the ancient emperor summoned the concubines, the concubines will be very
happy and excited, so they will show this kind of expression.”
Armand was speechless.
“Why do I feel like you’re scolding me?” Armand frowned, but he was still in a good mood. Theresa
wanted him to go and see her, did she mean that she missed him too?
“Let’s eat.” Armand picked up the bowl and chopsticks. He started stuffing rice into his mouth. He was
really hungry. On the table, there were braised water bamboo, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with
tomatoes, and stewed pork ribs with white radish soup. These were all home-cooked dishes and they
tasted good. Armand took a piece of braised eggplant and said, “You’ve found the right girl as your
girlfriend. She knows how to cook well and you can enjoy her cooking in the future.”
Boyce glanced at him and said, “Just eat. Even eating couldn’t stop you from talking.”
“I’m praising your insight, but you wouldn’t cherish it.” Armand swallowed the food in his mouth, “Boyce,
I’ll leave in the afternoon. Just tell me what you need as soon as possible.”
Boyce was being straightforward, “I only need money.”
Armand blinked his eyes and looked at him, “You are penniless? So, you’re now relying on Jasmine to
support you?”
Boyce did not bother to answer him. He did not even have a cell phone, let alone his wallet. He was
fortunate enough to survived until today.
“I don’t have much cash with me. Take my card.” Armand was anxious to see Theresa. He finished his
bowl of rice within a few gulps. He took a bowl of soup and it was still hot, so he put it on the table to
cool a little. He took out his wallet and took out his card. He gave the card to Boyce.
Boyce took it and said, “I’ll return it to you when I go back.”
“Don’t tell me these useless things.” Armand wiped his mouth, “I’m not going back to City B, I’m going
to City C. I’ll go straight back to City B directly from City C, so I won’t come here again. Go buy a cell
phone when you have the time so that we can contact you.”
Boyce said okay.
After eating lunch, Armand left.
In City B…
In the Miller family…
Boyce had been missing for nearly a week now. Mrs. Miller and Officer Miller started to believe that
Boyce may have died.
After all, the situation was so dangerous. The search had lasted for six days.
“Wendy, will you just stop thinking about him? Give up.” Mrs. Miller tried to persuade her daughter. She
sighed, “You just don’t have the destiny to be with him. For the first time, it was you who didn’t want to
and you two did not work out. The second time, he is gone. If you’re destined to be together, you’ll be
together since the first time. Let’s just find another suitable person, okay?”
Wendy was annoyed, “Mom, can you stop it?”
“I’m saying this for your own good…”
“I don’t need it.” Wendy stood up and took her bag after she said this. Then, she went out.
“Wendy…”
“Stop it, just let her go. As soon as she’s back, you started to nag. Not to mention her, I felt annoying
too.” Office Miller felt a bit tired.
Mrs. Miller felt that she was right, “I did it for her own good, didn’t I?”
“Okay, okay, just stop it.” Officer Miller pinched the bridge of his nose wearily. He did not want to listen
to any nonsense anymore.
“Where do you think she will go?” Mrs. Miller was a little worried.
“She’s an adult. Don’t worry too much.” Officer Miller said earnestly, “If you control her too much, she
will be unhappy. Just leave her alone and let her do whatever she wants.”
Mrs. Miller felt that children’s affair should still be decided by adults, even though Wendy was already
an adult. As she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, she was scolded by Officer Miller, “If you say
another word, get out of here.”
He was mad too.
Mrs. Miller covered her mouth and started crying.
Officer Miller got up irritably and went into the room. He would not have to be annoyed if he did not see
her.
Wendy went to the villa after she went out.
“Stop it, just let her go. As soon as she’s back, you started to nag. Not to mention her, | felt annoying
too.” Office Miller felt a bit tired.
Mrs. Miller felt that she was right, “I did it for her own good, didn't |?”
“Okay, okay, just stop it.” Officer Miller pinched the bridge of his nose wearily. He did not want to listen
to any nonsense anymore.
“Where do you think she will go?” Mrs. Miller was a little worried.
“She’s an adult. Don't worry too much.” Officer Miller said earnestly, “If you control her too much, she
will be unhappy. Just leave her alone and let her do whatever she wants.”
Mrs. Miller felt that children’s affair should still be decided by adults, even though Wendy was already
an adult. As she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, she was scolded by Officer Miller, “If you say

Mrs. Miller covered her mouth and started crying.
Officer Miller got up irritably and went into the room. He would not have to be annoyed if he did not see
her.
Wendy went to the villa after she went out.
