Chapter 623: Chapter 623

Armand didn’t just think so, he thought, “What does Declan have, doesn’t he just have a powerful father? If he didn’t have his father, he would be nothing! Every time I see that smug face, I get angry. I can’t wait to beat him to death.”

Boyce was still depressed. Seeing Armand’s childish behavior, he thought it was very funny.

Matthew told them to go back, while Boyce had nowhere to go. And he had been very busy. Even though he didn’t have to go to work now, he found he didn’t even have a place to stay.

Armand threw his arm around his neck, “Are you going to go to the villa with me?”

Boyce said, “No.”

Armand was going after his wife, so what was Boyce going to do in his villa?

“All you think about is your wife all day. Can’t you do anything else? Since you’re so idle, aren’t you afraid of becoming retarded?” complained Boyce mercilessly.

Armand clicked his tongue, “I don’t make less money than you, so how can I be idle? I just see it more clearly than you do.”

“How do you see it more clearly than I do?” asked Boyce.

” Tell me, why do we work?”

Boyce replied, “We work for a living, obviously.”

“And what do we need in life?” again asked Armand.

“Water, heat…”

“Pfft…” Armand almost spat out the water he had just drunk. Then he looked at Boyce with disgust, “I’d like to open your brain and see what’s inside. Water and heat are the necessities of life, but those things are not life. If a person wants to have a good life, he must have a successful career and have a partner who will stick with him through thick and thin and never leave him. Although we have the former, we don’t have the latter. It is only natural that you should now seek the latter.”

Boyce looked at him slightly, “I don’t have anything now, so as long as I’m alive, I’m fine.”

He got up and left the office after saying that.

Matthew had already been gone for a while. The two of them had been talking about nonsense for half a day and it was time to leave the office.

Armand chased after him, “How about this, shall I drive you to college so you can find your girlfriend.”

Boyce’s head ached from listening to him talk.

“Stop following me. I want to be alone.”

Armand followed him, “No way. I have to be with you. What if you get depressed and try to kill yourself? Just give me your time today. I’ll sacrifice my time to stay with you.”

“You’re the one who’s going to kill yourself!” Boyce turned to the other side in disgust and turned away from him, but Armand approached him again, “What’s wrong with you, why do you look heartbroken? You look depressed.”

Boyce looked at him, said nothing, and stood on the sidewalk to hail a cab.

“Where are you going?” Armand sensed something was wrong with him, “Didn’t Matthew have a plan, why are you still so depressed?”

Boyce tilted his head, “Jasmine’s gone.”

Armand was confused. She hadn’t even graduated from college, was she gone, where could she go?

“I’m not sure.” Boyce said.

Armand was even more confused, “What could have happened to cause her to drop out of school?”

Boyce told Armand about Jasmine’s mother. If he told Armand, he would feel better.

Armand gave him a wary look, “So you’re upset that she’s gone?”

At that moment, the car stopped. Boyce waved his hand and the car quickly stopped. And then Armand followed him in the car, “I asked you a question!”.

“I don’t know.” Boyce replied impatiently.

He really didn’t know. He had felt something in his heart when he received the letter from her mentioning that she liked him.

He also didn’t know if she liked him.

Armand was silent. And he finally knew why he was so depressed.

The cab driver asked them, “Where are you going?”.

Armand looked at him and told the driver of a place.

The other day he had heard from one of the lawyers at the firm that there was a blind date party on the east side of town today. Word was that it was organized by some major dating website, and that there would be a lot of single girls. And Boyce was right to go to this blind date party.

The party seemed to have a lot of publicity. The cab driver even knew: “Are you guys single, too?”.

Armand pointed to Boyce, “He is.”

Boyce was not in the mood and ignored him.

The cab driver scoffed, “That’s the fifth time I’ve driven to that party today.”

Armand was surprised, “So many people go there, are they men or women?”

“Both.” The cab driver said, “But there are still more men. I’ve heard that the ratio of men to women is unbalanced at the moment. Even twice-married women are popular in the dating market. My cousin enlisted in the military a few years ago. After being discharged, he was a little older. After going through many failed blind dates, he married a woman who had been married three times.”

Armand blinked, “Your cousin’s ugly, isn’t he?”

There were a lot of girls who liked military men these days.

The cab driver laughed, “You’re very straightforward. My cousin’s condition is really bad. If his family didn’t have connections, he couldn’t enlist in the army. He’s short and dark. And he’s old. He’d be lucky if he had a wife. I have a neighbor who has two sons in his family. His parents spent a fortune buying a house and a car so their sons could find wives. The new car has turned into an old car, but they still haven’t found wives. And since the eldest son won’t marry, his parents don’t dare look for a wife for the second son. Because they are afraid that after the second son has a wife, the older son will find it harder to find one.”

Armand couldn’t help but stare sidelong at Boyce: “You’d better take advantage of this opportunity! Look! How many men can’t find a wife these days? You still don’t want your girlfriend. If you meet the right person this time, you should go out with that girl. Don’t become a leftover man.”

“Fuck you!” If it hadn’t been for the driver driving, he would have pushed the door and gotten out.

Armand wasn’t angry either. He knew Boyce was in a bad mood, so he tried to put him on cotton wool, “I’m just worried about you, okay? Don’t get mad.”

“Driver, stop the car.” Boyce told the driver.

The driver pulled to the side of the road and stopped in a lot where he could park. 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 down the road.

Armand stood still, “You’ve gone too far.”

Boyce said nothing and kept walking. Armand also got angry, “Fine! Who cares about you?”. He said as he stopped the car on the side of the road and got in.

He wanted to go to the village to look for Theresa, but he was still very worried about Boyce, so he asked the driver to follow Boyce at a distance.

Boyce found a small store and bought a carton of cigarettes. When he paid, someone put a bottle of water in the box.

“Boyce?”

Boyce turned his head to look over.

“I thought I had the wrong person. What are you doing here?” asked Wendy with a smile.

“I…” Boyce didn’t know why she was there either.

“You must be in a bad mood, aren’t you? I heard about it from my father. I believe you.” Wendy said.

Boyce remained expressionless and then handed the money to the owner, “That bottle of water is on me too.”

The two left the store together after paying the bills. Boyce asked, “What brings you here?”
