The reason why Jasmine chose to leave him was that she was afraid of holding him back.
Suddenly he felt that the girl was too silly.
It’s heart-breaking to know her silliness.
Luckily, he had known all about it and would be able to take good care of her in the future.
He clenched his hands and repeated it several times until his body relaxed considerably. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is this?” The principal’s daughter froze for a moment when she saw it was Boyce after she opened the door.
Wendy’s face changed in a flash right after she saw the person who was standing at the door. Perhaps it was because she had done something wrong and she had a guilty conscience, the first thing that came to her mind was, ‘When does he come? Does he hear anything?’
“Bo… Boyce, what’re you doing here?” She stood up from the sofa.
Boyce’s face was calm, “I’m here for the principal to discuss something.”
“You may come in, my father has gone for a meeting, and he will come back later.” The principal’s daughter pulled herself away and let him in.
Boyce stepped in and his eyes rested on Wendy’s face. He thought he knew her well. After all, her father was such a decent person, she should be like his father too.
At that moment, he realised that he was wrong and it’s ridiculous.
“Are you free? Let’s go outside together and have a few words,” Boyce said. He wanted to take this opportunity to speak to her clearly.
“You guys can talk here if you have anything to say. I’ll go out first.” The principal’s daughter gave Wendy a wink, trying to hint that she should take this opportunity to explain.
She then walked out of the office after giving Wendy a hint and closed the office door behind her.
“What… What do you want to talk about with me?” Wendy felt vaguely uneasy.
It was like Boyce was about to have a showdown with him. Nevertheless, she was right in her perception.
Boyce got right to the point and said, “I unintentionally know why you get divorced.”
Wendy’s body immediately stiffened and she firmly refused, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You understand and know exactly what I’m talking about. It is your business that you’re unwilling to admit it but it is my business that I know it is a fact. It is unintentional today that I have overheard something I shouldn’t have. I used to think that you should be a good person but now I just find that I’m wrong and we’re really not suitable for each other.”
Wendy bit her lip, “You eavesdropped on us.”
“I’ve told you that I didn’t mean to listen.” Boyce sat down, “As long as you promise to break up, I can keep your secret for the sake of Officer Miller. I’m willing to forgive you once but only this time.”
He said and gazed at her sharply, “Bullying a parentless orphan is despicable.”
Wendy clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth, “Are you here for a lesson to me?”
Boyce snorted scornfully, “I’m not your parent so definitely I don’t have the right to lecture you. I just feel bad for Officer Miller. If he knows what you have done, he must be very sad. Not to mention if he knows that I am aware of that, he will even feel disgraced. You shall know that your father has always been open and honest, especially as he is a dignified person.”
Of course, Wendy knew it, which was why she was afraid that her secret had been disclosed.
She clearly understood that she had no way out but to agree to Boyce’s proposal.
“I promise you that we will break up peacefully. However, you must promise that you will not tell anyone, and the secret must die with you!”
“Sure.”
Boyce agreed immediately.
His purpose was to end his relationship with Wendy, he had no plan to put the situation into a deadlock. He was willing to keep it a secret even for the sake of Officer Miller.
“I hope you understand that all my tolerance today is for the sake of your father.” Boyce’s expression was extraordinarily cold and stern. It was the first time Wendy had seen such an expression of Boyce. Her heart fiercely cringed, then she grabbed her bag on the sofa and ran out.
The principal’s daughter was standing in the corridor outside the door. While she was not paying attention, she heard the door opening and immediately looked over. Just as she wanted to greet Wendy, she had already run out.
She stared at Wendy’s back and her eyebrows slightly raised, ‘Are they quarrelling?’
She then glanced into the room again but didn’t take the initiative to go in. It seemed like it was an unpleasant conversation.
After about twenty minutes, the principal finished the meeting and came from the other end of the corridor, seeing her daughter standing in the doorway. He asked, “Why are you standing here?”
His daughter smiled, “You have a guest.”
The principal nodded as if he knew who it would be.
He had been contacted by Boyce earlier.
“You know someone is coming to see you?” his daughter asked.
The principal admitted it.
Following her father into the office, she picked up the bag on the sofa and said to him, “I’ll go first as you have work now.”
The principal waved his hand, “Both Nicolas and you come back home tonight for dinner.”
Nicolas was the principal’s son-in-law. The principal missed his daughter, so he asked her and his son-in-law to go home for dinner.
Her daughter waved her hand and acknowledged that then she walked out of the office and closed the door.
Boyce stood up and the principal made a sign to ask him to sit down. He walked to the front of the office desk and sat down. He picked up the thermos on the table and took a sip of water before speaking, “Are you talking about the student?”
Boyce walked over and said, “Her name is Jasmine, you should have an impression of her.”
The principal did have an impression of her, and he looked up at Boyce as if he remembered that the student was the one who had a scandal with him at that time.
“Are you really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her?” The principal asked.
Boyce said, “Yes.”
“Why are you here today even though she’s already dropped out of school?” The principal crossed his arms on his desk.
“I’m not sure if you understand why she dropped out of school.”
“I heard from her teacher who was responsible for her that she dropped out of school due to family matters.”
“Her mother passed away and there was no one to bury her so she went back to give her mother a burial as her mother was her only family member. The reason why she made the wrong decision was that she was too upset at that time and couldn’t accept the fact for a while. Therefore, I hope you can give her another chance, it’s not easy for her to get into this university and be accepted.”
The principal considered it for a few moments, “I’ve read her file and she’s been doing well except the scandal with you. However, it is truly not good behaviour that she chooses to drop out.” Boyce replied, “Of course, we all know it’s not right. Please give her another chance.”
“Well, I can give her another chance for the sake of Officer Miller and you, and her good studies. However, this will be the only time. Otherwise, no matter how good her grades are but her behaviour is bad, we won’t give her another chance anymore.” The principal was a sensible man as he understood that the relationship between Boyce and Officer Miller was close and that he and Officer Miller had a good relationship.
