“Don’t explain anymore. You aren’t a romantic person by nature. I know it and I won’t be angry with
you. Just walk in.” Jasmine held his arm and walked inside.
Jasmine was indeed a considerate and thoughtful girl. She was not arrogant and did not demand
anything from him on account of her young age. Instead, she was quite understanding of his work and
also his boredom. Boyce thought that he could never meet a better girl than her.
Boyce was very happy to be with her.
Jasmine saw that the customers in the restaurant were enjoying their food and the food seemed to be
tasty. She looked at the menu on the wall and ordered a few dishes. She would like to have light food
as she had just recovered from the fever. So, she asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Boyce said, “I will have whatever you eat.”
Jasmine smiled and found a seat to sit down with Boyce after ordering the food. The food was served
quite fast here. Jasmine did not have much appetite. They walked out of the restaurant together after
eating.
Jasmine suddenly stopped walking.
“What’s wrong?” Boyce turned his head and looked at her.
Jasmine did not say anything. She did not know whether it was because she had eaten too fast or she
had eaten something dirty. However, her stomach was a little uncomfortable and she wanted to vomit.
Boyce touched her forehead but Jasmine blocked it, “No fever.”
“I see you don’t seem to feel well,” Boyce said with concern.
Jasmine stood for a while as she did not feel so disgusting. She put her hand on her chest and said,
“It’s alright. Let’s go.”
Both of them got into the car. Boyce took her to the city to buy a new phone since it was inconvenient
to contact her without it. Moreover, she was about to return to City B.
The two of them arrived home at ten o’clock at night. Boyce lay down on the bed after taking a shower.
Meanwhile, Jasmine lifted the blanket and hugged Boyce after having a bath.
She took the initiative to remove the bath towel from her hands.
Boyce kissed her, “You’re still sick.”
“I’m already fine. Don’t you miss me?” Jasmine cuddled him while her soft body was rubbing on his
warm chest.
It would be a lie to say that she did not want to make love. Her body would not lie even if she restrained
herself in her heart.
Jasmine went back the next day and she slept all the way home.
For half a month, Armand and Elizabeth did not speak to each other. Even if Elizabeth took the initiative
to talk to Armand, he was still very indifferent.
Elizabeth stopped talking gradually.
After Theresa left for two days, she had never contacted Armand. However, Armand really wanted to
see her, so he went to City C secretly.
The sunshine was brilliant and the weather was particularly good that day. It was neither too cold nor
hot. The maple leaves on the roadside gradually turned red and some of them drifted to the ground.
Theresa came back to work and she never mentioned anything about herself. Oscar also did not ask
since he respected her as an adult. Everybody had things they did not want to talk about.
Oscar was still the same in which he liked to wear fancy clothes. He wore a floral shirt with a white suit
today. Theresa was already tired of criticizing his aesthetics. He walked into Theresa’s office with the
car keys in his hand.
“Get off early today,” Oscar said as he sat on her desk.
Theresa looked up. Her white cheeks were much thinner and her eyes were bright, “Oscar, can you
behave like an elder?”
“Where don’t I look like an elder?” Oscar did not feel childish at all to sit on Theresa’s desk.
He was such a lively guy.
“You change your clothes now. I will take you somewhere.”
Theresa said, “I’m busy. I’m not going anywhere.”
“You have been working day and night since you came back. Let’s go for a rest otherwise, your body
can’t take it. I will take you to relax.” Oscar took the brush from her hand.
He held her wrist and pulled her off the chair.
Theresa was helpless, “Where are you taking me? I tell you that I’m not going to any arcade this time.”
“We aren’t going there this time. I will take you somewhere different.” Oscar took out a dress that was
displayed in the store from the wardrobe and gave it to Theresa, “Put it on.”
Theresa was speechless.
She took the dress, “Oscar, what is the occasion? Why do I need to put on a dress?”
“A formal occasion.” Oscar smiled, “Go and change it. I will wait for you at the door.”
Theresa did not have the mood to go out. She just wanted to stay alone. As she accompanied Oscar to
attend the occasion, she needed to meet a lot of people. So, she felt that it was really troublesome
since she had to wear a dress as well as making up.
“Oscar…”
Theresa tried to convince Oscar not to let her accompany him.
Oscar said, “You just do me a favour then. I will wait for you at the door.”
He left after saying that.
Theresa sighed and could only go to the fitting room to change her clothes.
Oscar’s car was parked at the roadside in front of the store.
Armand’s car was parked not far away from the entrance. He had become much quiet during this
period. In the past, he was used to be the most talkative and outgoing among the three. Now, he had
changed his behaviour.
He came here without informing anybody as he just wanted to take a glance at Theresa.
He could not sleep for countless nights. He reached for his phone and wanted to call or message her,
but he never had the courage.
That day, Dolores said that he had married Theresa in a hurry just because Elizabeth urged him to get
married.
It was not actually correct. He was already an adult and he would not have gotten married just like that
if he did not have any feelings towards Theresa. If he just wanted to brush Elizabeth off, he would
marry a random person and would not wait to marry Theresa after meeting her.
He was very clear in his heart now. In fact, he knew clearly that he liked and loved Theresa a long time
ago.
Now, he was heartbroken just because of love.
He did not dare to meet her but he just wanted to take a glance secretly.
It was just for the sake of loving her.
