“Driver, stop the car.” Boyce said to the driver.
The driver pulled over to the side of the road and stopped in a lot where he could pull over. He paid the cab fare and got out.
Armand followed him out of the car, “Hey, what are you doing? What’s wrong with going on a blind date?”
“You can go if you want.” Boyce walked along the road.
Armand stood still, “You’ve gone too far.”
Boyce didn’t say anything and kept walking. Armand got angry too, “Fine! Who would care about you?” He said as he stopped the car at the side of the road and got in. He wanted to go to the villa to find Theresa, but he was still very worried about Boyce, so he asked the driver to follow Boyce from a distance.
Boyce found a small store and bought a box of cigarettes. When he paid, someone put a bottle of water on the checkout counter.
“Boyce?”
Boyce turned his head to look over.
“I thought I had the wrong person. What are you doing here?” Wendy asked with a smile.
“I…” Boyce didn’t know why he was there either.
“You must be in a bad mood, right? I heard all about it from my dad. I believe you.” Wendy said.
Boyce was expressionless, then he handed the money to the owner, “That bottle of water is on me too.”
The two of them went out of the shop together after paying the bills. Boyce asked her, “What brings you here?”¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
Wendy said, “I came here to run some errands. Do you have anything else to do? If you don’t have anything to do, why don’t we find a place to sit and talk?”
Boyce had nowhere to go, so he agreed to that idea.
“Did you drive here?” Wendy asked.
“No.” Boyce replied.
Wendy pointed to the parked car and said, “My car is parked on the side of the road. Take my car then.”
Boyce did not refuse.
“Dickhead!” Armand watched Boyce and a woman got into the car. And he couldn’t believe his eyes.
He asked the driver in front of him, “Did the man who just came out of the store get in the car with a woman?”
The driver said, “Yes. And she is a pretty woman.”
Armand let out a laugh. ‘Since Boyce has a woman, he’s still pretending to be depressed in front of him. Also, who was that woman just now? What is her relationship with Boyce? Could it be that Boyce has a girlfriend? And has Boyce been hiding this from him? But Boyce didn’t have to hide this from him, right?’
Armand was puzzled. Unfortunately, no one could give him the answer.
The driver glanced back at him, “Shall we go?”
He couldn’t keep the car parked without picking up other passengers.
He felt relieved to see Boyce with someone, so he told the driver the address of Cormac’s villa.
Wendy drove the car downtown and then found a nice cafe, “Let’s have a cup of coffee.”
Boyce didn’t really want to go to a cafe, but given that he had just agreed to her offer, he pushed the car door open and got out.
“I just want to have a cup of coffee with you, but why do you look so reluctant?” Wendy said with a smile.
“I…”
“I’m just joking.” Wendy deliberately interrupted him. She knew he was probably still upset about Jasmine.
Jasmine had visited her before she left.
Jasmine could sense that Wendy had feelings for Boyce. And Wendy was also Officer Miller’s daughter, so she could benefit Boyce in his career. No matter how much Officer Miller appreciated Boyce, Boyce was his subordinate after all. However, if Boyce was his son-in-law, then he would do his best to support him.
Therefore, before Jasmine left, she confessed everything to Wendy.
The decoration of the cafe looked very cozy and a little romantic. And there were many couples who came here for coffee.
Wendy took a seat in front of the window. The sycamore trees outside the window blocked the sunlight, so it was not too bright. There was a white vase on the table with some daisies in it.
“What would you like to drink?” She asked, looking at Boyce.
Boyce said, “Green tea.”
“We’ll have a cup of green tea and a cappuccino with milk.” Wendy said to the waiter.
“Okay.”
After the waiter left, Wendy smiled and said, “Isn’t it true that men don’t like sweet stuff? And you don’t even drink coffee with sugar and milk?”
Boyce said, “Just my personal preference, I guess.”
“I’ve heard about what happened. I didn’t realize you had moments when you acted like a child.” Wendy said.
Boyce was confused by what she said. And he didn’t know what she meant by that, “What did you know?”
“Take a guess,” Wendy said with a smile.
Boyce said, “I can’t figure it out.”
“You’re really not funny. But you’re really the kind of man worth getting someone to marry you. Actually, I kind of regret it. After all, my dad kinda wanted me to marry you in the first place…” “That’s all in the past now.” Boyce interrupted her. And he didn’t really want to talk to her about it.
Wendy asked, “Do you hate and detest me?”
“No.”
Boyce answered her bluntly. If Wendy had wanted to, he would have agreed to marry her. Moreover, he didn’t have any regrets, because he didn’t marry her for love but for not hating her. And he simply thought she was about his age.
At that moment, the waiter brought up the coffee, “Please enjoy it.”
Wendy picked it up and took a sip. After the waiter walked away, she said once again, “Do you hate me now?”
Boyce frowned and didn’t say anything.
Wendy laughed to herself, “After all, I was married once.”
