Chapter 643: Chapter 643



Armand had no idea. He had nowhere to go.Where could he go in this state?

“Go to the villa,” Dolores said.

If Theresa saw what she had gotten herself into, she might soften and be willing to be honest with him.

If she was able to accept not having children, they wouldn’t all have to suffer.

Armand lowered his head and kept silent.

He didn’t know what Dolores was thinking. Did he want Theresa to feel sorry for him?

He didn’t want Theresa to see him so entangled.

“No, there are too many people in the village. I’ll go to Boyce and stay at his house for a few days. I’ll come home when I’m better. And don’t say anything to Theresa about me. I don’t want her to feel I can’t live without her. I…I’m still Armand after today.”

When he finished, he walked away.

Dolores wanted to stop him. She was worried about him.

Matthew grabbed her hand and shook his head, “Leave him alone. He’ll be fine when he gets over this.”

There had to be a transition period.

Dolores heeded him and didn’t keep coaxing Armand or calling him.

He was alone with his injuries, like an abandoned child, alone and helpless.

It was worrying.

At the Miller home…

Officer Miller called Boyce just to investigate his case. Now Declan and Old Mr. Bailey were in trouble and had no time for Boyce’s case. At this juncture, Officer Miller used his connections to get Boyce out of trouble.

It was all originally made up. If Old Mr. Bailey had not been arrested and this incident had not occurred, he could have faked some evidence of Boyce’s bribery to frame him.

Luckily, the Bailey Family went down quickly. They didn’t push him too hard. There was a lot to work with.

So it was resolved quickly.

To celebrate, Officer Miller invited Boyce to his house for drinks.

After a few drinks, Officer Miller asked him, “When are you and your girlfriend getting married?”

Boyce paused while holding his glass. Then he raised his head, sipped his wine and said, “We broke up.”

He didn’t want to explain. In fact, they had never been in love, and it was all rumored because of that incident.

Last time, they came to Miller’s house as boyfriends in disguise as well.

Officer Miller frowned, “That girl is nice, isn’t she, have you harassed her?”

Wendy listened to her father’s words as she brought up the food and said, “How can Boyce be that kind of person? The fact that they broke up just means they weren’t meant to be together.”

Officer Miller looked at his daughter, “You stay out of this.”

“All right. Wendy’s right.” Boyce wasn’t even sure he was in love with Jasmine.

He was just a little uncomfortable with her sudden disappearance from his world and felt as if he was missing a lot of things.

Wendy sat down next to him, “Boyce, don’t drink too much.” She then looked at Officer Miller and said in a complaining tone, “Dad, even if you’re happy, you can’t make him drink too much.”

Officer Miller raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m your father, aren’t I?”.

Wendy nodded, “Of course.”

“Why do I feel like you act better with Boyce? Why don’t you care about me?” Officer Miller glanced at his daughter.

He knew his daughter’s feelings.

That was also why he was trying so hard to help Boyce.

He knew his daughter was divorced and not very likely to be with Boyce, so he had to be very good to Boyce.

If he was willing to be with his daughter, she wouldn’t feel too guilty with him.

And maybe Boyce could accept his daughter for her sake.

He was selfish.

No matter how selfless people were, they would still be more or less selfish in the affairs of their loved ones.

After all, she was his daughter. He always wanted to help her.

He was a father. Besides, he only had one daughter.

Boyce was a little drunk and didn’t think about what they meant.

Even if he hadn’t been drunk, he wouldn’t have been able to understand that Officer Miller wanted him to be his son-in-law.

“Come on, let’s have another drink. You should celebrate for being able to save the day this time. As the saying goes, ‘a disaster survived is a blessing in the making’.”

Wendy looked at Officer Miller, “It’s not as bad as you say! Boyce is a lucky man. He’s always been a good and decent person.”

“Whatever! Come on, let’s drink.” Officer Miller raised his glass.

Boyce also raised his glass because he was embarrassed to turn Officer Miller down. He could feel that he had had too much to drink.

After drinking with Officer Miller, Boyce said, “I can’t drink anymore. I’ve had too much to drink.”

Mrs. Miller smiled and said, “That’s okay. You can sleep here tonight if you’re drunk. We have spare rooms anyway.”

Mrs. Miller knew that Boyce and Jasmine had ‘broken up’ and was very kind to Boyce.

She felt her daughter had a chance.

She wanted Boyce to be her son-in-law .
