Chapter 665: Chapter 665

“Wendy…” Boyce wanted to take the opportunity and make it clear to her.

Wendy wrapped her arms around his waist, “Boyce, I really like you. Please don’t reject me, okay?”

Boyce pushed her arms away, “Please stop.”

Wendy was unwilling to do so. Instead, she hugged him tighter, “Don’t push me away. Please.”

As she spoke, her face pressed tightly to Boyce’s chest, “Do you know how much courage I’ve mustered to ask my father to tell you about me? If he turned me down, I’d be too embarrassed. Do you dislike me because I’m divorced?”

“Not really,” Boyce explained. It was just because he didn’t feel anything for her. While Wendy was hugging him like that, he was only uncomfortable because she was a woman. He had no fluctuation in his heart.

If he liked a girl, he didn’t care if she was divorced or not.

He didn’t care much about that sort of thing. The girl didn’t have to be a virgin.

“It’s getting late. You should go home now.” Boyce couldn’t put his hands down at all. He didn’t dare touch her.

“No way. If you don’t say yes, I won’t let go.” Wendy didn’t much care now. She didn’t want to pretend to be secretive. All she wanted was to grab this man. No matter what ways she needed to use, she had to get this man.

She had lost him once, so this time, she must get him tightly.

“Wendy, don’t you care if I like you or not?” asked Boyce directly.

He didn’t know what to talk to Wendy about, so he could only tell her his current thoughts.

Wendy stiffened a little. It was a hard blow for her. Raising her head, she said, “I think love could develop.” Boyce inwardly doubted her words.

If so, he could no longer refuse her.

He said, “Okay, I agree.”

Wendy couldn’t believe Boyce had said yes so soon, “Really?”.

Boyce nodded and said, “I never lie.”

Looking at his solemn face, Wendy thought he was quite handsome. She wondered why she hadn’t seen him before.

If she had known that a man like Boyce was worth loving, she and Boyce would probably have children by now.

“I’ll go home and tell my parents.” Wendy was overjoyed. Letting go, she said, “Okay, I’m going now.”

Boyce nodded, “Be careful when you drive home. Good night.”

Wendy paused, raised her head, and looked at him, “Aren’t you asking me to stay?”

Boyce was speechless.

He didn’t understand why he had to ask her to stay.

It was quite late and they had already had dinner.

Wendy said with a smile, “Aren’t you asking me to stay the night?” Boyce choked.

“I’m just kidding. You look very silly.” Wendy dropped her smile, “I’m leaving now. Good night.”

After that, she left her apartment.

Boyce stood motionless for a while before snapping back to reality. He walked her to the door.

“Go to bed soon. See you,” Wendy told him at the door.

Boyce nodded and closed the door.

As he was closing the door, he still felt like he was dreaming. After a long moment, he let out a sigh.

He told himself that he should settle for her; other women probably wouldn’t be as suitable as she was. Besides, Officer Miller had asked him personally.

If he turned Officer Miller down, he would feel sorry for Officer Miler. After all, Officer Miller had taken care of him. Boyce felt a little embarrassed to turn him down.

He couldn’t stay single forever anyway.

As he tried to convince himself, Boyce sat down on the couch. He gulped a glass of water and muttered to himself, “Actually, Wendy Miller’s not bad. We’ve known each other for a long time. It shouldn’t be bad if we lived together.”

Suddenly, he smiled. Patting his head, he realized he was still comforting himself.

At dawn the next day, Boyce was awakened by Armand’s call. As soon as the call connected, Armand called out, “Boyce, could you do me a favor, please?”

“What can I do for you?” Boyce woke up, still groggy.

“I’ve made up with Theresa.”

Boyce could sense how delighted Armand was even over the phone. He snorted and said, “Very good. Congratulations.”

“Why does your boss keep inviting you to his house? He likes you and wants you to be his son-in-law, right?” Armand was heading back to his apartment. Although he still had a few bruises at the corners of his eyes, he still had a bright smile on his face.

If Boyce could see him face to face now, he would probably ask Armand if his face still hurt.

“Are you calling to inform me of your good news?”

“No. Theresa is going back to C-Town today. I’m going to see her off. Can you go with me?”

“She’s your girlfriend. Why should she go with you?” Boyce was confused.

“Here’s the thing. Last night, when I announced the good news, you weren’t there. Today you must be in your presence. You are my best friend. You must be a witness.”

Boyce wondered why he had to witness it personally after hearing the news over the phone.

He wondered if Armand was in his right frame of mind.

Not to disappoint this poor man who had finally won back his girlfriend’s heart, Boyce said, “You must come pick me up. I don’t have a car now.”

“I’m already downstairs from your apartment. Hurry up and come down.”

“So soon?”

“Cut the crap. Hurry up,” Armand urged.

Boyce said, “Ten minutes, please.”

After that, he hung up the phone, got up and got ready.

He went downstairs after ten minutes. As soon as he came out of the community, he saw Armand’s car standing on the shoulder. The car window was open. As Boyce approached, he could hear Armand humming a song.

Boyce opened the door and sat inside, “You just made up, but she’s leaving today. Aren’t you afraid she’d fall in love with another man?”

“No, she wouldn’t. If she did, she would have fallen in love with another man a long time ago,” Armand said with extreme assurance.

Boyce shot him a look, “Look at you!”.

“Heh… I’m so happy!” Armand couldn’t hide his good vibes in Boyce’s presence.

Boyce laughed, “C’mon. Be a man!”

Armand dropped his smile and said solemnly to Boyce, “Theresa has some health problem. In the future, we’re not going to have our own children. Don’t talk to her about children. I’m afraid she would be very sensitive about it.”

He knew Theresa was unwilling to face the fact because she didn’t want to talk to him about it. Therefore, he supposed Theresa must be quite sensitive, fearing that she would be upset to hear about children.

“How so?” Boyce frowned.

Armand reassured himself. After a long moment, he answered hoarsely, “It was because of her miscarriage last time.”

Boyce patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.

“Don’t show your care for her particularly or your compassion. As long as you don’t mention the children, everything will be all right,” Armand said.

Boyce understood.

When they arrived, they saw Dolores and Matthew talking to Oscar. Theresa was playing with Amanda.

In the morning, Dolores and Matthew got up to see Theresa and Oscar off.

Amanda insisted on coming, so they drove her to the airport as well. “Good morning, Uncle Armand, Uncle Boyce,” Amanda noticed them first and greeted them.

Theresa raised her head and saw them. Looking at Boyce, she said with a smile, “Why are you here too?”.

Boyce smiled, “Armand insisted on asking me to see you off. He said I was the only one absent last night, so I must make it up to him. By the way, congratulations!”

Theresa lowered her head, “Thanks. It’s no big deal.”

“We’ve made up. Isn’t it worth celebrating?” Armand sat down next to her, putting his arm over her shoulder, “You promised me. You can’t go back on your word.”

Boyce was very level-headed. Lifting Amanda up, he said, “Amanda, let’s go. Leave them alone.
