“Don’t explain anymore. You aren’t a romantic person by nature. I know it and I won’t be angry with you. Just walk in.” Jasmine held his arm and walked inside.
Jasmine was indeed a considerate and thoughtful girl. She was not arrogant and did not demand anything from him on account of her young age. Instead, she was quite understanding of his work and also his boredom. Boyce thought that he could never meet a better girl than her.
Boyce was very happy to be with her.
Jasmine saw that the customers in the restaurant were enjoying their food and the food seemed to be tasty. She looked at the menu on the wall and ordered a few dishes. She would like to have light food as she had just recovered from the fever. So, she asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Boyce said, “I will have whatever you eat.”
Jasmine smiled and found a seat to sit down with Boyce after ordering the food. The food was served quite fast here. Jasmine did not have much appetite. They walked out of the restaurant together after eating.
Jasmine suddenly stopped walking.
“What’s wrong?” Boyce turned his head and looked at her.
Jasmine did not say anything. She did not know whether it was because she had eaten too fast or she had eaten something dirty. However, her stomach was a little uncomfortable and she wanted to vomit.
Boyce touched her forehead but Jasmine blocked it, “No fever.”
“I see you don’t seem to feel well,” Boyce said with concern.
Jasmine stood for a while as she did not feel so disgusting. She put her hand on her chest and said, “It’s alright. Let’s go.”
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?”
