Although he was very dull, his occasional hint of thoughtfulness would make her very warm and reassuring.
Wendy took a look at them and silently withdrew her eyes.
This man should have belonged to her before, this tenderness should also belong to her, but now it belongs to another woman. She didn’t feel very comfortable in her heart.
Mrs. Miller adjusted her emotions and smiled at Jasmine, telling her not to treat herself as a stranger, “Make yourself at home.”
Jasmine smiled and said yes.
Officer Miller asked his daughter to get a bottle of wine, “Drink with me?”
Boyce said, “I drove here. I’ll drink with you next time.”
“Have a drink with my dad. I’ll drive you back.” Wendy poured Boyce a drink and deliberately lowered her body and whispered in his ear, “He’s not happy that I got divorced. You just have a drink with him.” She leaned too close to Boyce, looking ambiguous, and Boyce leaned back a little and said, “Then have a drink.”
Wendy’s body stiffened for a moment. It seemed that Boyce’s distance and detachment made her a little uncomfortable for a while, or she was disappointed and felt uncomfortable with his coldness towards her. She quickly adjusted her emotions back to natural, as if nothing had happened, and looked at Jasmine with a smile, “Can you drink?”
Jasmine saw her behavior just now. Her hand under the table clenched tightly. It was obvious that she was deliberately approaching Boyce. Perhaps being women, they could sense each other’s intentions. She shook her head, “I can’t drink.” After that, she smiled again and said to Boyce, “You also drink less. You have to take me back to school this afternoon.”
“I can drive you.” Before Boyce could say anything, Wendy replied.
Jasmine smiled and said, “Don’t bother. Actually, I don’t have much time and I want Boyce to keep me company.”
She couldn’t see that Wendy was intentionally approaching Boyce, and was deliberately having an affair with Boyce in front of her. She was definitely up to no good.
If the one who came today was really Boyce’s girlfriend, she would definitely misunderstand.
The good thing was that she was not really Boyce’s girlfriend, and she was able to look at this matter with a clear mind as a bystander.
She could truly understand that it was not Boyce’s fault and that this woman was deliberately approaching him and deliberately trying to make a misunderstanding.
If she was really blessing Boyce, she should have kept her distance from him knowing that he had a girlfriend, rather than intentionally approaching him.
Officer Miller gave a cheerful laugh, “Then we won’t drink today. I’ll drink more at your wedding banquet some other day.”
Wendy put the wine bottle down and poured herself a glass. Then she said, “There are many men and women who fall in love and break up. Some people have different personalities, some people have different habits, and some people are because of the age gap. No one knows what will happen until the last moment.”
Boyce naturally heard the meaning of her words, and his expression was a little unnatural, thinking that she said this on purpose to him.
“I’m happy to have Boyce over for lunch today. What the hell are you talking about? I know you are in a bad mood, but don’t affect others. If you’re not hungry, don’t eat yet, and go inside for a while.” Officer Miller reprimanded his daughter in a deep voice, “You’re spoiling the mood.”
“Dad, I’m your daughter, right? Why are you kicking me out?” Wendy bit her lip, “Forget it. I won’t eat.”
After saying that, she stood up and looked at everyone, “Sorry, I’m not in a good mood, so don’t mind if I speak harshly.”
“We don’t care. You just sit down and eat.” Boyce felt uncomfortable in his heart but did not show it. For Officer Miller’s sake, he couldn’t say anything.
Officer Miller didn’t look well, “Sit down.”
“I was in a bad mood after the divorce and said the wrong thing. Just forget about it. Boyce isn’t even mad at me. How come you’re angry?”
Officer Miller broke her hand, “Don’t try and deny it. Today it’s Boyce, but if it’s anyone else, they would definitely be unhappy.”
“I know. There is no next time.” Wendy sat back down and looked at Boyce with a smile, “You don’t care, do you?”
Boyce denied.
“Okay, let’s eat. This issue is resolved.” Miller knew that his daughter was exposed by his wife and regretted it.
But there was no use to cry over spilled milk. What was fated to be will be and nothing can be forced.
One cannot force fate. Although he had wanted Boyce to marry his daughter but at least today his wife can finally abandon her hopes.
As for his daughter, she could only look for another man.
Miller liked Boyce and hoped that he could become his son-in-law but that was not to be.
Now that his daughter was also a divorcee, all the more he could not hope for it.
He would be satisfied if his daughter could find someone decent.
“Come, let’s eat. Don’t stand on ceremony.” Miller said to Jasmine, “Cat’s got your tongue? The last time you were so chatty. What happened to you today?” Miller liked Jasmine because she had moxie and confidence.
Jasmine smiled, “The last time I was too anxious and was worried that you would punish him.”
Miller smiled and asked, “It must be you who asked Boyce out first.” He knew Boyce very well and even when there was a rumor about Boyce, he never believed that Boyce was guilty of it.
“No, I was the one who asked her out first.” Boyce quickly replied.
He wanted to protect Jasmine’s dignity.
Furthermore, it was her who was helping him today.
He could not let others think that way of her.
Miller laughed heartily, “So your icy heart finally thawed?”
The Boyce he knew was very reserved.
Boyce must have liked her a lot to initiate the relationship.
Miller looked at Jasmine.
She was young, beautiful with an interesting personality.
She looked like someone independent and confident.
“Boyce doesn’t have any relatives here. So you need to take good care of him.” Miller said to Jasmine.
Jasmine smiled and replied, “I will.” As she looked at Boyce. She truly hoped that she would be the one to take care of Boyce.
“Boyce, look at how concerned my father is for you. He treats you like you are his son.” Wendy said sarcastically and continued, “My father doesn’t have a son. Why don’t you become his son? He can even help you in your career.” What Wendy said was inappropriate.
Miller’s expression changed and said sternly, “Eat or leave. Don’t stir any trouble here. You’ve divorced. Do you expect others to always give in to you?”
“Why are you so worked up? Wendy didn’t say anything. Why must you be upset?” Mrs. Miller tried to ease the situation and continued, “She’s affected by her divorce and didn’t choose her words carefully. Don’t be angry because of her.”
Miller was upset and did not speak.
Boyce felt that the atmosphere had taken a turn for the worse. He stood up with Jasmine and said, “I just realized that I have something to attend to. Please excuse us.”
