However at this moment, Wendy’s hand, which had risen in the air, was grabbed by someone. She
thought that it was her boyfriend, so she lowered her voice and scolded him, “Why are you…” grabbing
my hand.
When she had not finished saying the remaining words, she saw that the person who was grabbing her
hand was not her boyfriend. It was Boyce, her face turned pale in a moment, “Why, why are you here?”
Boyce pulled away her hand which was grabbing Jasmine, and then he yanked her hand away. Wendy
staggered and almost fell.
“For Officer Miller’s sake, I’ve never exposed those disgraceful things that you’ve done, but you’re still
being impenitent. Fine, I will ask Officer Miller to come here today and discuss it properly.” Boyce
looked serious on his face; there was anger in his eyes which could be hardly detected. Obviously, he
was offended by Wendy.
Wendy put her hand on the wall for support; she said stubbornly, “Don’t use my dad to bluff me.”
“You can see whether or not I’m bluffing you. Since you’re being shameless, do I still need to cover for
you?” Boyce took out his phone and found the phone number of Officer Miller. Wendy immediately
grabbed his phone away, seeing that Boyce was really going to make a call, “You are not allowed to
make a call.”
Wendy had always known that Boyce was a loyal person who cherished friendship, he also respected
her dad. He didn’t tell her dad about her matters because of the respect to his dad. She thought that
Boyce was bluffing her just now, she didn’t expect that he really wanted to make a call.
She had forgotten that there must be some limits which couldn’t be exceeded as long as they were
humans.
“Don’t forget that it’s my dad who has promoted you. If he didn’t promote you, you won’t be what you’re
now, are you going to kick him down the ladder?” Wendy stared at Boyce, “You’re just the same as
others, you’re pretending to be a gentleman, but indeed you’re also a womanizer. You’ve found
someone who is so young, isn’t it just because you like her body…”
“Thud!”
When she had not finished talking, she was given a slap on her face. Her eyes became red, and she
couldn’t believe it, “You, you slapped me?”
Boyce looked daggers at her, “I’m just teaching you a lesson on behalf of your dad. If Officer Miller is
here today, perhaps he will feel regret having this daughter!”
Wendy’s chest was moving up and down due to the anger, “You’re ungrateful!”
She rushed in front and wanted to beat Boyce while she talked. She had lost her head at this moment,
let alone saving her face, she totally looked like a shrew.
Boyce could get whatever he wanted now, Wendy envied that everything which should initially belong
to her, was taken by Jasmine already. She was even given a slap by Boyce and he had taught her a
lesson in front of other people, she felt angry and she couldn’t reconcile with them.
Boyce didn’t move, he just watched her rushing toward him with the hideous look. Perhaps Wendy was
too agitated, she tripped over something and fell.
She was in an awkward predicament.
Her boyfriend thought that she was a well-educated lady since she was Officer Miller’s daughter, she
looked nice, and they were about the same age as well. Although they had both divorced before, they
didn’t have children, so they were quite matched.
Her boyfriend thought that she was being aggressive just now because her ex-boyfriend had been
snatched by others. Hence, she was holding a grudge and it was normal for her to talk in an unfriendly
way.
‘But looking at her now, does she look like a well-educated lady? She can’t even be understanding to
others, which is the basic.’
“Wendy, we shall end the date today, I think that we’re just not compatible.” He turned and left after
saying this.
He thought that Wendy was making a fool of herself.
When Wendy realized what he had said, she stood up and chased him, “We’ve said that we’re going to
marry each other, why are we not compatible?”
Her boyfriend wanted to avoid her so much, he got into the car and started the car, then he left quickly.
Wendy knocked on his door, “Stop the car!”
He didn’t hesitate and leave directly.
Jasmine held Boyce’s hand, “Let’s move to other place.”
Boyce nodded and said, “Let’s go, I will call them after getting into the car.”
Boyce guarded Jasmine into the car, he worried that Wendy would come and disturb her again.
After getting into the car, he started the car and left. Then, he had called Matthew and Armand telling
them not to come here anymore.
It was too late already to book another quiet place at this moment. Hence, Dolores had asked them to
go to the bungalow because the bungalow was quiet and well-equipped, they could just let the
restaurant send the foods there.
The place was spacious and quiet.
Boyce agreed.
So, he drove to the bungalow.
“Why would you meet her?” Boyce asked.
Jasmine answered, “I went there once I received your message, I was waiting for you outside because
I knew that you were not there yet. Maybe she was there to dine, so we had accidentally met each
other, and she had come down on me when she saw me.”
She felt so helpless too.
Boyce looked toward her and asked concernedly, “Are you okay?”
Jasmine shook her head, “You had come in time.”
At this moment, Boyce saw that there were red marks on her wrists. Wendy had treated her badly, she
had purposely scratched her wrists using her fingernails when grabbing her wrists. There was a row of
nails marks on the inner side of her wrists, some sides were bleeding.
Boyce brought her hand over, but Jasmine drew her hand back and said smilingly, “It’s okay.”
It was not a serious injury, she didn’t want Boyce to worry about this trivial matter. He was busy with his
work already, she didn’t want to trouble him anymore.
Boyce pursed his lips, he looked serious on his face, “Call me if you face this kind of thing again in the
future.”
Jasmine smiled and said, “Okay.”
Although she was young, she was really sensible. The more she was sensible, the more Boyce felt
sorry to her.
After all, the reason Wendy would pick a quarrel with Jasmine was because of him.
“I’m sorry, Jasmine.”
Jasmine leaned on his shoulder, “We already have a baby, but you’re still always apologizing to me, will
the baby laugh at you when the baby is born later?”
Boyce glanced at her abdomen, his eyes twinkled and there was a joy in him which was difficult to be
detected.
He was going to be a dad.
Soon, the car had stopped in front of the entrance of the bungalow. Armand and Theresa were
standing at the entrance, they had just arrived too. They were in City B as well, they had come back to
fetch Armand’s grandma.
Armand had also wanted to ask them out for a gathering initially, he wanted to tell everyone since he
had decided to leave, then he had received a call from Boyce.
“You guys are here.” Theresa greeted them seeing that Jasmine and Boyce were getting out of the car.
Jasmine and Boyce walked side by side toward them, “Hmm, did you guys just arrive too?”
Theresa nodded, “Yes, let’s go inside together.”
“Okay.” Jasmine went in front and walked together with Theresa.
Armand and Boyce walked behind them.
“Isn’t it that you had told us to go to the restaurant? Why are we coming to the bungalow again?”
Armand asked.
Boyce said, “There’s an accident, this place is more comfortable than the restaurant.”
“Has any good thing happened on you?” Armand put his arm on Boyce’s shoulder, “You’re looking
great.”
