It had stopped hurting initially, probably that he had forgotten about it. And when Jasmine asked about it, it seemed to hurt again. He sat down on the bench and sighed, “I had wanted to marry you when I grew up, but now someone else has beaten me to it.”
Jasmine had just been touched, with the mist still in her eyes, and Chris’s words again amused her.
“You kid.”
“Will you marry him, Ms. Burke?” Jenny asked with a wink.
Jasmine choked for a moment. She could show her love to Boyce generously and treat him with her most sincere heart.
But marriage was not something she could decide.
Marriage was a matter for two people, not something she could decide alone.
Much less she could decide it alone.
“Erm…” Jasmine thought about how to explain to the children, and Boyce opened his mouth before she could think about it yet. He looked at Jasmine and said solemnly, “We will get married.” His voice was solemn and sonorous, without a hint of concealment.
He would go back as soon as possible to deal with Wendy’s affairs and then bring her back.
Jasmine looked up at him, with her hands clutching the hem of her dress uneasily. She should be happy, but at this moment, she didn’t know how to react. She felt excited inside and also restless.
She was afraid that it was all a dream.
When she left, she thought that she would never have the chance to meet him again in her life. And yet, once again, he appeared in front of her and even gave her what she desired and wanted the most. Her eyes were filled with tears again, but she smiled, “You guys are really annoying, always trying to make me cry.”
Boyce walked over and reached out to wipe her tears, comforting, “I’ll think I said the wrong thing when you cry. Don’t cry, okay?”
Chris blinked, thinking that Boyce was so silly, “Shouldn’t you give Ms. Burke a hug now? What are your shoulders for?”
Jasmine lowered her head and smiled. She knew that Boyce wasn’t the kind of person who was good at flattering. He was always so rigid in everything he did. At this moment, even a kid dared to talk about him.
‘How much of a failure was he as a man?’
Boyce looked down and rubbed his nose. He wanted to do that, but he felt inappropriate as there were many children here.
“Give her a hug.” Chris coaxed, and everyone followed suit as if they were shouting a slogan, “Give her a hug. Give her a hug…”
“Don’t mess around.” Jasmine pretended to be angry.
“You’ve really let us down.” Chris sighed, “You’ve disgraced us as a man.”
Boyce held his forehead helplessly, thinking in his mind that was he even not qualified to be a man?
Jasmine knew Boyce’s personality. So for everyone to stop fooling around, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around Boyce, whispering in his ear, “It’s okay. Just be yourself. Let me take the initiative to hug you from now on.”
A kind heart and warm hands were all that a mortal had. Boyce was touched by Jasmine, and he hugged her too. Words were not needed to shake his heart. He didn’t speak, but his heart to be with her for the rest of his life became more and more firm.
After being with Jasmine, he could feel his heart beating uncontrollably from time to time and the various sensations she brought to him that he hadn’t felt before.
“Jasmine…”
Keith had something to look for Jasmine. When he came in, he saw the two people hugging each other in the children’s middle. His words stuck in his throat for a moment.
Jasmine let go of him first. Boyce felt a bit uncomfortable, but he didn’t let Jasmine face it alone. He reached out to hold her hand, looking towards the door and asked, “Do you need her for something?” Keith’s gaze fell on Boyce’s hand, holding Jasmine’s. He withdrew his gaze quickly and said, “Someone is looking for you.”
“Looking for me?” Boyce asked uncertainly.
It wasn’t like he knew anyone here.
“Yes, looking for you.” Keith said with certainty. At this time, a figure appeared at the classroom door, and his appearance gradually came into everyone’s view. He looked across the classroom, glanced over Boyce’s face and finally gazed at Jasmine, but talking to Boyce, “I’m looking for you.”
Boyce was surprised, “Why are you here?”
Armand finally looked at him again and asked rhetorically, “Can’t I come here?”
Boyce denied and said to Jasmine, “You wait for me here.”
He walked out.
However, Armand didn’t move, and his eyes fixed on him for a moment, “No wonder you can stay outside. So there’s a beautiful woman with you.”
Boyce knew Armand was like this, and he was sure to tease him when knowing his relationship with Jasmine.
He pulled him away and asked solemnly, “I’m talking to you seriously. How did you find your way here?”
“You’ve called back. How couldn’t I trace your location? Besides, Loredana thought you were suffering because of her and Cormac. She was worried about you and couldn’t let go of you. She asked me to come to have a look on you. Originally, it was Cormac who would come over, but Simona was so scared that she was not in good spirits, so Cormac couldn’t leave her side. And so, I came. I thought you’d be riddled with scars, dying and suffering. I didn’t expect you to have a nice life here. How did you get Jasmine here too?”
Boyce explained roughly, “She came here after she left City B. It was a coincidence that I met her.”
“A coincidence?” Armand had a flirtatious smile as he mulled over his word, “A coincidence? I think it’s much more like a destiny.”
Boyce frowned, “What are you talking nonsense about?”
Armand laughed, “Is it nonsense?”
Boyce didn’t bother him and walked to the stone bar under the tree and sat down. Armand followed, “Don’t you forget that there is still a woman waiting for you in City B.”
Armand sat down beside him and gave him a look.
Boyce didn’t forget about it, “I was just about to go back and settle this matter.”
Armand stood up at once in shock and asked, “What did you say? You’re going back?”
Boyce nodded.
Armand sneered, “Are you crazy?”
He calmed down a bit and spoke to Boyce, “From my observation, Ms. Miller will never let go of you if you go back alive. She was just obsessed with you, and how will she let go easily?”
Boyce pursed his lips. He should give her an explanation as he was the one who had promised her.
Armand knew that this was all of his so-called sense of responsibility, but he was just too ignorant of women.
He sat down and analysed with Boyce, “Here’s the thing. You’ve already brought Ms. Miller to me and Cormac to see her, proving that you’ve already acknowledged her identity, and that’s how you introduced her to us too. So, since now that you are in a relationship with her, what will you do when you go back if she refuses to break up with you?”
Boyce felt that Wendy wasn’t the kind of person that would pester him relentlessly. However, Armand had a point there. What if Wendy refused to break up?
He could never let down and hurt Jasmine.
Jasmine had nothing left, and now all she had was him.
