Boyce’s appearance shed light on Wendy’s future, Mrs. Miller was eager to show her concern over Boyce.
“There’s no need, I’m not hungry,” Boyce said.
“Let me prepare something,” Mrs. Miller insisted.
“There’s no need,” Boyce rejected.
Officer Miller couldn’t stand her acts, “Just shut up!”
‘Since when did she cry for Boyce? She keeps pushing Wendy to look for someone else.’
He sighed as he thought of that. “What happened, Boyce? Where have you been?” He asked.
Boyce told the truth about what happened and how he was rescued, but he skipped the part with Jasmine.
Officer Miller let out a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you are alive, I thought you were dead.”
“Sorry to have made you worried,” Boyce apologized again.
“As long as you come back safe.” Wendy came forward and hugged Boyce in front of her parents.
Boyce froze. “Wendy.”
He wanted to push her away but the more he pushed, the harder she hugged. “I nearly collapsed, my days were like years.”
Boyce’s hands froze in the air, “I’m sorry to make you worry, Wendy, please get up.”
Wendy hugged even tighter hearing that, “No, I won’t ever let you go again, I don’t want to lose you again.”
Boyce didn’t know what to do.
“There’s something I need to tell you, Wendy.” He wanted to cut the chords between them the soonest possible.
Wendy looked up, “What do you want to tell me? Do you plan to propose?”
“No Wendy, I’m here to break up with you,” Boyce said honestly.
Wendy’s face stiffened, so did Mrs. Muller’s. Mrs. Miller immediately asked, “What did you say?”
Boyce stood up. He bowed at Mr. and Mrs. Miller, “I’m truly sorry that I can’t be with Wendy.”
Officer Miller was calmer compared to the others, he knew from the beginning that Boyce didn’t like his daughter, he agreed out of respect for him. “There’s no point apologizing, you agreed to be with Wendy but breaking your promise now. How could you conduct such a shameful act?”
Boyce was speechless; it was him that broke his promise.
“You’ve agreed to marry Wendy, how could you break up with her now…”
“That’s enough!” Officer Miller was annoyed. He knew Boyce didn’t like Wendy but he didn’t expect him to break up with her. “Tell me what is happening.”
Wendy interrupted, “You fall for another woman?”
She starred at Boyce. She knew this man, he was not a sentimental person when it came to romantic relationships. He even introduced her to his closest friends right after he agreed to be with her. He was a man with a sense of responsibility.
There must be another woman that he liked so much that made him broke up with her.
“Tell me who is she.” Wendy clenched her fists.
Boyce apologized, “I’m sorry.”
“Apology is useless, you’ve hurt my daughter. Listen carefully Boyce Shawn, I won’t let you break up with my daughter. What a bastard, we were worried about you while you went missing but you come back to break up with Wendy? How could you!”
Mrs. Miller flew into a rage as if she could rush over to Boyce in the next second and hit him. Officer Miller felt a headache when he looked at Mrs. Miller, who was behaving like a shrew. He said in a deep voice, “Cut it out! Let’s listen to what Boyce wants to say.”
Boyce did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I found that I don’t like Wendy, so…”
“Boyce, what do you mean you don’t like Wendy? You’ve promised to be with my daughter, and you tell us that you don’t like her now,” Mrs. Miller was fuming in anger and pulled Boyce’s arm and said, “What do you take my daughter as? What gives you the right to dump her as you like? Boyce, don’t forget that if it weren’t for Wendy’s father, you are nothing!”
Officer Miller heavily pressed his eyebrows with his fingers. He felt shame at his wife’s behavior.
“He gets his success by his abilities!” Officer Miller pulled his wife away from Boyce, “Go into the room. You don’t need to be here!”
Mrs. Miller raised her head and looked at her husband. She suddenly cried out loudly, “Are you crazy? Wendy is your daughter. How come you favor an outsider instead of your daughter? Boyce is dumping your daughter now. Do you still want to favor a person who is dumping your daughter?”
“Shut up!” Officer Miller felt ashamed.
However, Mrs. Miller did not care about him, and she thought that it was Boyce who owe them an apology. She also thought it was her husband’s help so that Boyce could become the deputy director at such a young age.
“Boyce, let me tell you, don’t imagine you can dump my daughter easily. You have to be responsible for my daughter since you’ve promised us. You want to break up with Wendy, and that’s not going to fly!” Mrs. Miller pointed at Boyce and rebuked him without giving a thought to her image.
Officer Miller felt his brain was going to explode and spoke to Boyce, “Let’s stop here today, and you go home first. Everyone is too aggressive now and can’t talk. We’ll talk about this properly when we both calm down and sit together.”
Boyce wanted to make it clear, but he could not continue to say when he saw Mrs. Miller, who looked mercilessly. He could only nod, “I’m sorry, Officer Miller.”
Boyce felt sorry to Officer Miller from the deep of his heart.
Officer waved his hand and did not want to listen to Boyce.
“I’ll go out with you. We should talk between the two of us since it’s our business. I don’t want my parents to be sad and upset because of my business,” Wendy got up and walked over to Boyce and said, “Let’s go.”
“Wendy, you can’t be soft-hearted. He’s the one who promised you, so he can’t go back on his word,” Mrs. Miller was worried that her daughter would agree to break up with Boyce in a moment of madness. ‘Where would Wendy find such a suitable person after break up with Boyce?’ Mrs. Miller thought.
Wendy said in reply, “I can handle my own business.”
After that, Wendy pulled Boyce out of the house and walked downstairs. Wendy let go of him, “Are you happy after stirring my family into a tempest?”
She clenched her hands tightly. Was she sober of a sudden? She knew Boyce did not like her all along, but she was confident that she could let Boyce would fall in love with her. Boyce said, “I’m sorry for that.”
Wendy suddenly growled at him, “I don’t need your apology.”
A neighbor passed by them and looked at them and asked, “Why? Did you guys fight?”
Wendy immediately adjusted her appearance and locked her arms in Boyce’s arm. She smiled and explained to the neighbor, “No, we were just horsing around.”
The neighbor laughed and said, “You young people like to play around. I heard from your mother that you guys are in love. When will you two get married?”
Wendy took a glance at Boyce and said, “For the time being, we’re not considering it.”
“You guys are not young anymore and hurry up to get married and have a baby. I’ll leave first. I have to go to pick up my child after school. Goodbye.”
Wendy waved at the neighbor. She thought that they were not talking in the right place. She pulled Boyce to walk out of the housing estate, and she found somewhere with fewer people.
