âUncle Armand, are you going to play the kissing game with Aunt Renee?â Amanda opened her eyes, blinking.
âOf course I want toâ¦â
Theresa glared at him, so Armand immediately flinched and couldnât utter a word.
âSheâs a child, quite naive, are you a child too, where are we now?â
Armand immediately admitted his mistake: âItâs my fault. Next time Iâll pay attention to the occasion.â
Boyce couldnât contain his laughter as he gave Armandâs cowardly look.
He hugged Amanda to leave them alone.
âHave you seen the news?â asked Oscar.
Matthew emitted a âhmm.â In fact, he didnât watch the news. Abbott had been keeping an eye on it. When there was news, he would call Matthew.
Dolores asked in confusion, âWhat news?â
Rogerâs case had come to an end. The official microblog account had announced the outcome last night.
After a past event was brought up, it was not only relevant to many people, but also brought up more cases whenever Roger had done something wrong. For corruption and bribery that reached two hundred million, he was sentenced to death.
All the netizens applauded.
Oscar patted Matthew on the shoulder, âTake good care of Lola. Come to C-Town when youâre free.â
Matthew held Doloresâ shoulder and said, âWe will.â
âFlight A950 to City C is ready for boarding. Passengers, please take your pass to the gate.â
âI must go now. Take care.â Oscar waved them off.
Armand and Theresa also approached. Theresa hugged Dolores and said, âIâll be back first to take care of the store. Please donât worry. Take care of you and the baby, my godson.â
Dolores let out an âhmm.â
They were escorted to the gate.
Watching their figures walk away, Dolores suddenly felt a strong disappointment in her heart, âUncle, Theresa, Iâll go visit them.â
âSure, youâre welcome anytime.â Theresa waved her hand vigorously.
Oscarâs eyes reddened for some reason, âOh, gross!â After he finished his comment, he turned away.
He didnât like this getting too emotional. All good things come to an end. Besides, they would meet in the future.
âGoodbye, Grandpa Oscar, Aunt Renee!â Amanda raised her arms high in the air, waving vigorously, âIâll miss you both. Iâll go visit you with Andrew.â
There were too many passengers at the gate, so they had to get in right away.
Standing up, Armand pulled out his phone and texted Theresa:
âTheresa, you just left, but Iâve already missed you â what should I do?â
Theresa heard the tone of the message on her phone as soon as she sat up in her seat. She dialed it to read it and replied, âHold it.â Then she turned the phone off.
Reading the reply, Armand let out a silly laugh. Even if they werenât sweet words, as long as Theresa answered, he felt quite cheerful, happy and satisfied.
Boyce gave him a cold look and said, âYou smile like an idiot.â
âYouâre an idiot!â shot back Armand. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from his company. There was a difficult case that none of the lawyers at the firm dared to deal with, so he had to go back to take care of it.
Armand hung up the phone and said to Boyce, âI have something urgent to take care of. Could you take Matthewâs car home?â Then he trotted off.
Boyce said, âWhat an unreliable man.â
Matthew handed his car key to Boyce, âDrive my car.â
âWhat about you?â asked Boyce.
âI still have something to take care of, so we wonât be back now, could you send Amy back to the villa?â
Boyce nodded, âSure.â
After taking a few steps, he asked, âAre you free tonight? If so, I want to buy you dinner.â
âAny celebration?â Dolores looked at him and asked.
Boyce nodded, âI want to introduce you to my girlfriend.â
Doloresâ eyes widened, âYou have a girlfriend now?â
Boyce thought he had agreed with Wendy and had accepted her, so he should introduce her to his friends.
He nodded, âYes.â
âSure, weâre free.â Dolores smiled, âItâs a very important matter. Of course, we must be free.â
Boyce said, âOkay. After I book the restaurant, Iâll send you the location.â
Dolores said yes and asked him to be careful when driving.
Boyce said, âNo problem. I will definitely send Amy home safe and sound.â
After that, he led Amanda out of the airport lobby. Amanda leaned against Boyceâs shouldered shoulder, curving her lips, âOwâ¦. Iâve been dumped.â
âShit, dumped by who?â Boyce opened the door and placed her in the child safety seat in the back seat.
Amanda curved her lips, âOf course, by mom and dad. Theyâre always together, ignoring Andrew and me.â
âYou can be my daughter. You can stay at my house in the futureâ¦â
âNo way!â Amanda was quick to interrupt him before Boyce finished his words.
Even though her parents were always together, she still felt very happy.
She would hate to leave her parents and stay at Boyceâs house.
Boyce started the engine and thought about Wendy. He pulled out his phone and set out to call her, but realized he didnât have her phone number.
So, he called Officer Miller.
Last night, Wendy told her parents that Boyce had accepted her.
Mrs. Miller was overjoyed, but Officer Miller let out only a faint sigh.
Mrs. Miller was quite unhappy and said, âDonât you want our daughter to go out with Boyce?â
Officer Miller snorted, but did not respond. Of course, he wanted his daughter to be with Boyce, but right now he was quite upset, feeling sorry for Boyce.
Seeing Boyce call out to him, he slid over to answer immediately.
As he was about to ask Boyce if he had thought this through, Boyce asked, âHello, Officer Miller. I want to call Wendy, but I donât have her number.â
Officer Miller glanced at his daughter, who was peeling an apple, and handed her the phone directly, âBoyce calling. He wants to call you, but he doesnât have your number.â
Wendy immediately picked it up to answer with a smile, âHi, Boyce.â
âI want to invite my friends over for dinner tonight and introduce you to them, are you free tonight?â
âOf course. By the way, where are you now, can you come pick me up? I donât want to drive to work, why donât you send me there? Then you can drive your car back.â Since he had agreed to it, they were now dating. Therefore, they were to be together as often as possible so that love could develop.
On the way back to the village, Boyce was passing by the community where Wendy lived, so he said, âSure. Come down and wait for me. Iâll be there soon.â
Less than twenty minutes later, Boyce stopped the car at the gate of the community. Wendy had been waiting there.
She thought Boyce would come in a cab, since her car was still with her. It wasnât until Boyce pressed the car window and hailed her that she saw him.
After sitting in the car, she asked him, âWhose car is it? Is it yours, too?â
Boyce was about to say no, but Amanda interjected, âItâs my fatherâs.â
It wasnât until then that Wendy realized there was someone else in the car. She frowned. She wanted to get along with Boyce alone, wondering who the person might be.
