Both of them got into the car. Boyce took her to the city to buy a new phone since it was inconvenient to contact her without it. Moreover, she was about to return to City B.
The two of them arrived home at ten o’clock at night. Boyce lay down on the bed after taking a shower. Meanwhile, Jasmine lifted the blanket and hugged Boyce after having a bath.
She took the initiative to remove the bath towel from her hands.
Boyce kissed her, “You’re still sick.”
“I’m already fine. Don’t you miss me?” Jasmine cuddled him while her soft body was rubbing on his warm chest.
It would be a lie to say that she did not want to make love. Her body would not lie even if she restrained herself in her heart.
Jasmine went back the next day and she slept all the way home.
For half a month, Armand and Elizabeth did not speak to each other. Even if Elizabeth took the initiative to talk to Armand, he was still very indifferent.
Elizabeth stopped talking gradually.
After Theresa left for two days, she had never contacted Armand. However, Armand really wanted to see her, so he went to City C secretly.
The sunshine was brilliant and the weather was particularly good that day. It was neither too cold nor hot. The maple leaves on the roadside gradually turned red and some of them drifted to the ground.
Theresa came back to work and she never mentioned anything about herself. Oscar also did not ask since he respected her as an adult. Everybody had things they did not want to talk about.
Oscar was still the same in which he liked to wear fancy clothes. He wore a floral shirt with a white suit today. Theresa was already tired of criticizing his aesthetics. He walked into Theresa’s office with the car keys in his hand.
“Get off early today,” Oscar said as he sat on her desk.
Theresa looked up. Her white cheeks were much thinner and her eyes were bright, “Oscar, can you behave like an elder?”
“Where don’t I look like an elder?” Oscar did not feel childish at all to sit on Theresa’s desk.
He was such a lively guy.
“You change your clothes now. I will take you somewhere.”
Theresa said, “I’m busy. I’m not going anywhere.”
“You have been working day and night since you came back. Let’s go for a rest otherwise, your body can’t take it. I will take you to relax.” Oscar took the brush from her hand.
He held her wrist and pulled her off the chair.
Theresa was helpless, “Where are you taking me? I tell you that I’m not going to any arcade this time.”
“We aren’t going there this time. I will take you somewhere different.” Oscar took out a dress that was displayed in the store from the wardrobe and gave it to Theresa, “Put it on.”
Theresa was speechless.
She took the dress, “Oscar, what is the occasion? Why do I need to put on a dress?”
“A formal occasion.” Oscar smiled, “Go and change it. I will wait for you at the door.”
Theresa did not have the mood to go out. She just wanted to stay alone. As she accompanied Oscar to attend the occasion, she needed to meet a lot of people. So, she felt that it was really troublesome since she had to wear a dress as well as making up.
“Oscar!”
Theresa tried to convince Oscar not to let her accompany him.
Oscar said, “You just do me a favour then. I will wait for you at the door.”
He left after saying that.
Theresa sighed and could only go to the fitting room to change her clothes.
Oscar’s car was parked at the roadside in front of the store.
Armand’s car was parked not far away from the entrance. He had become much quiet during this period. In the past, he was used to be the most talkative and outgoing among the three. Now, he had changed his behaviour.
He came here without informing anybody as he just wanted to take a glance at Theresa.
He could not sleep for countless nights. He reached for his phone and wanted to call or message her, but he never had the courage.
That day, Loredana said that he had married Theresa in a hurry just because Elizabeth urged him to get married.
It was not actually correct. He was already an adult and he would not have gotten married just like that if he did not have any feelings towards Theresa. If he just wanted to brush Elizabeth off, he would marry a random person and would not wait to marry Theresa after meeting her.
He was very clear in his heart now. In fact, he knew clearly that he liked and loved Theresa a long time ago.
Now, he was heartbroken just because of love.
He did not dare to meet her but he just wanted to take a glance secretly.
It was just for the sake of loving her.
Seeing that Oscar was standing at the entrance of the shop, Armand didn’t dare to get off his car in fear of getting discovered. He continued to stay put in the car.
After a while, from afar he saw Theresa emerge from the shop. She was wearing a pure white evening dress that touched her knees as if her slender body was enveloped in a gentle moonlight. Her black hair was shoved upwards casually, and a strand of it was dangling on her forehead, which only served to increase her allure.
To look more refreshing, she had put on some make-up to cover up her pale and drained face.
Oscar glanced at her and said with a smile, “It’s a waste for you to hole up in your office with that stunning look of yours. You should go out more often and give yourself a good chance.”
Theresa pretended to be angered by that remark, “Uncle, if you are going to tease me again, I won’t go with you anymore.”
“Don’t do that. With your pretty face by my side, I can even feel myself filled with pride.” Oscar replied with a smile.
Theresa broke into a grin too, “With me accompanying you to attend events, do you think I am of some help to you?”
Oscar opened the door of the car, “Of course.”
“Then, that means that you need to pay me back for my kindness.” Theresa bent down to get into the car.
Oscar didn’t immediately go to the driver’s side. He stood outside the car door and looked at Theresa and asked with a smile, “Aren’t I good enough towards you? What kindness do I need to repay for having your company in attending an event? Are you really going to be that petty towards me?”
“I don’t care. If you don’t do that, then I won’t go now.” As she said that, Theresa looked like she wanted to get off the car. In fact, she was just playing around with Oscar. She had no intention to really get out of the car.
Oscar grabbed her and begged, “Alright, alright, I owe you one.” He twisted his mouth and snickered, “I originally wanted for you to take in some fresh air out there, but how did it turn into like it’s me who owes you one? There is a saying that goes, ‘A vile person and a woman are the hardest to satisfy. It seems that you’re the woman depicted here.”
Theresa looked up at him with her depthless, glittering eyes which were more profound after putting on some make-up, “If I am the woman described by you, does that mean you’re the vile person here?”
Oscar snorted, “I won’t tell you that.”
