Then she looked forward to seeing the children soon after school.
Boyce told Coral to prepare a sumptuous dinner. After all, Maxina went out of prison so it would be good to celebrate it. Moreover, even Theresa was there.
“Are you here to see Armand?” he asked.
Theresa’s smile gave place to embarrassment, “No, don’t tell him I’m here.”
‘Although Boyce was insensitive to his own affairs, he was able to understand well others’ affairs. The fact that Theresa was there had something to do with Armand.” “Aren’t you good now? Did he make you angry again? I don’t think so, I think he treats you like a queen.”
Theresa looked at him, “Boyce, are you mocking me?”
Boyce laughed and asked, “Do you think so?”
Theresa didn’t answer, sat on the sofa and talked with Maxina.
Boyce was also busy, so he didn’t remain in the villa.
When he was in the office, he heard that Officer Miller was sent to the hospital. It had been a day and he didn’t get any news, so he wanted to go there to check.
Although he hated the mother and daughter of the Miller family, he wanted to visit Officer Miller.
He said hello to Jasmine and left.
When he arrived at the hospital, he asked about the ward where Officer Miller was. He hesitated before knocking at the door. He hesitated because he was afraid that Mrs. Miller and Wendy were there. He really didn’t want to see them.
When he opened the door and didn’t see them, he was strangely relieved.
Officer Miller was wearing a hospital gown and didn’t look very well.
“What happened?” Boyce asked with concern.
Officer Miller snorted, “Is it not because of you? You said you didn’t want to, so why did you make that promise? She has made troubles and I lost my reputation in the office.”
At that moment, Boyce wasn’t sure about his feelings, but he believed that Wendy, who had the same age as him, was suitable for marriage.
Who could have imagined that when he met Jasmine again…
“Are you all right? What did the doctor say?” Boyce knew that his promise was too hasty and that he agreed without thinking clearly.
At that moment, Wendy chased him insistently, so he couldn’t do anything.
Officer Miller leaned back in the head of the bed, indulged for a moment then he said, “I will survive.”
He fainted away because of a blood disorder. It wasn’t a serious illness.
“Officer Miller, I’m sorry, I…”
“You don’t need to explain to me. Do you think I don’t know you?” Officer Miller sighed again, “It’s also my bad. I knew that you didn’t like her, I have still made a match between you. It’s so embarrassing.” Boyce bowed his head. In front of Officer Miller, he looked like a child who did something wrong.
“It’s all right. But you can’t come to my home anymore.” His wife must be having a hard time now.
Boyce didn’t know what to say.
“Okay, go quickly.” Officer Miller waved his hand. His wife and daughter were out to buy something and he figured that they should be back soon. If they saw him, it would be a mess in the hospital. If so, he would totally lose his face.
Boyce said, “I’ll go then.”
Officer Miller let out a hum. When Boyce opened the door, Mrs. Miller and Wendy had just come back from shopping.[]
The more she despised something, the more it would appear in front of her.
Boyce was just about to take his leave, when Mrs. Miller stretched her arm out, “What are you doing here? Did you want to see if you’ve angered my husband to death?”
Mrs. Miller felt that Boyce was the cause of everything, and she blamed him.
Boyce had no intention to start an argument, but Mrs. Miller didn’t want to let him off the hook that easily.
“Come inside now!”
Officer Miller shouted in a deep voice.
Mrs. Miller scoffed and knocked Boyce on her way inside, Officer Miller glared at her and said sternly, “The doctor already said that I shouldn’t get angry, carry on what you’re doing if you want me dead.”
“What have I done? It was him…”
“Mother, that’s enough,” Wendy Miller interrupted Mrs. Miller. She was afraid that Boyce would be irritated and exposed her dark past.
She peered at him and said coldly, “My father was hospitalized because of us, are you happy with how things are now?”
Boyce seemed completely unfazed, he only cast a glance at her.
He didn’t see the need to explain himself to such a person, and so he stood there in silence.
Officer Miller’s hospitalization was rather indirectly related to him, he wasn’t the main reason of why this happened.
He avoided her sideways and walked out when Wendy tugged him by his arm, “Boyce, if you didn’t want to be in this relationship from the start, why did you agree and investigated me behind my back…”
She wasn’t done when Boyce’s phone rang in his pocket, he took it out and the caller named ‘Cutie’ was shown on the screen.
It was Jasmine Burke who accompanied Boyce to purchase a mobile device at the time, she told him, “The first contact you save on your phone should be mine.”
She snatched his device from him and keyed in her phone number. When she got to the caller’s name column, she asked Boyce, “What are you planning to address me as?”
This question had never come across Boyce’s mind, he figured that her name suited the best.
Jasmine wanted to be playful, and so she changed it to ‘Cutie’.
She had a short stature and was skinny, walking side by side with Boyce made her look small, she even ridiculed him, “Would others think that I’m your daughter if we went out together?” Awkwardness was written all over Boyce’s face then.
When Wendy caught sight of his phone screen, she frowned.
Cutie?
She didn’t know he had such taste for a close-minded person like him. Besides, who was this ‘Cutie’ anyway?
Wendy narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘Does he like someone else already?’
Her hands that fell at her sides formed into fists. Who stole her boyfriend?
Boyce didn’t answer the call immediately; he held his phone in his hand and walked a distance away from the ward before pressing the answer button.
