“About the matter of Jasmine returning to school.” The principal’s daughter had heard it from the principal.
After knowing about it, she called Wendy as soon as possible.
Wendy stiffened. ‘Jasmine is back?’
In other words, what Boyce had said was true. That girl in the car really had nothing to do with him.
He broke up with her and investigated her dark history.
Was it because Jasmine was back?
Wendy was trembling all over with burning rage. She had clearly said before that she wanted Wendy and Boyce to be together, but why did she suddenly appear again. What did she want?
Was she playing with her?
The more Wendy thought about it, the angrier she got.
“Okay, I understand.” She suppressed her anger and said into the phone.
The principal’s daughter smiled, “I just wanted to tell you why Boyce broke up. I think you should give up. There are plenty of men. Although Boyce is an outstanding person, he is not the only one who is outstanding.”
The principal’s daughter felt that if something was not meant to be then forcing it to happen was useless, and giving up was better.
Wendy said in a calm voice, “I see.”
“Okay then, I am hanging up.”
After the call ended, Wendy got into the car angrily and left.
Boyce drove the car back to the villa. No one was asleep yet. The dining room had already been cleaned up. Jayden was helping Amanda with her homework and Andrew was with Jessica.
Boyce walked into the kitchen where Jasmine was cutting fruit. Although it hadn’t been long since she had come to the villa, she had figured out the family’s habits in a few days.
They ate fruits after dinner. She saw that Coral was getting old and there were many people. So, she took over some of the work that she could do herself, reducing Coral’s burden.
Jasmine saw that it was Boyce who had come in so she asked in a low voice, “Did Armand and Theresa quarrel?”
When Armand had asked Theresa to drop him off, it was obvious that Theresa was deliberately evading him. Generally speaking, weren’t people who were head over heels in love a bit more reluctant to part with each other?
They had felt like something was weighing on their minds.
Boyce did not answer her directly. It wasn’t that he deliberately wanted to hide it from Jasmine. It was just that the reason for the barrier between Armand and Theresa was Theresa’s inability to have children. This was a matter related to Theresa’s privacy and it wasn’t good for him to tell Jasmine.
“It is just a bit of bickering.”
Jasmine understood and didn’t ask any further questions. She smiled and told him, “I will officially begin classes tomorrow.”
Boyce nodded, then reached out and patted her head, “Okay. Study well.”
Jasmine felt awkward. She felt like he was treating her like he was her elder, especially patting her head like he was coaxing a child. Jasmine frowned and said, “You are not allowed to touch my hair.”
Boyce’s heart thudded for a moment. Did his actions make her feel violated?
He hastily withdrew his hand and explained, “Jasmine, I didn’t mean to…”
“Are you treating me like a child?” Jasmine interrupted him before he could finish his explanation.
She didn’t notice his solemn cautiousness.
Boyce looked at her young face, “You are a child.”
“Boyce.” Jasmine patted him on his chest, “Don’t treat me like a child.”
Boyce whispered, “But you were originally not that old…”
