Chapter 692: Chapter 692



“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Jasmine looked at Boyce, who was lost in thought, and asked.

Boyce quickly replied, “Nothing, I’m just thinking about something else.” Jasmine didn’t ask any more questions and sketched a slight smile.

They went out today, so there was a lot of food. A friend of Boyce’s came over today, and Jasmine was going to cook more dishes to serve Armand.

Boyce lived alone and didn’t know how to cook. Most of the time, he ate instant noodles. Now, he could only help her by washing the vegetables and the rest Jasmine had to do.

Outside, it was a hot day and Armand didn’t go too far. He just strolled around and stopped in front of the school. The children here were all very simple and naive. At the thought that he and Theresa would not be able to have children in the future, he felt very depressed.

This would be his lifelong regret.

It was said that children were the fruit of their parents’ love. Without children, was it a sign that they could only love each other, but would have no fruit of their love?

He dared not express that he liked children in front of Theresa. He feared Theresa would be more upset if he did.

Theresa was the saddest person not to be able to have children.

Her look was somber. She pulled out her phone and sent a text message to Theresa. She wrote, “Theresa, I miss you so much.” These words came from the bottom of his heart.

In town…

Oscar took Theresa out to lunch at a very nice restaurant. He told her with a smile, “You should have come here with Armand. However, he doesn’t know C-Town well, so he doesn’t know the places with good food as well as I do. The lamb chop here tastes great, I guarantee you’ll crave it once you try it.”

Theresa laughed, “Man, you should get a girlfriend. It will be so pathetic living alone all your life.”

“I’m very comfortable living alone. I can change women whenever I want. If I get a steady girlfriend, she’ll control me. How uncomfortable will it be? I’m not crazy to treat myself like that.” Oscar was used to it. He, as a normal man, would definitely have needs too. On the other hand, he could have any kind of woman as long as he had the money.

He would not run into problems for himself, and he could not fail the trust of the person who passed away.

“Here, let’s sit here.” Oscar pulled a chair over to Theresa. She smiled and said thank you.

“No need to be so polite to me.” Oscar sat on the opposite side.

Then, a waiter approached. Oscar knew the menu here, so he ordered a few delicious dishes.

“Would you like some wine?” Oscar asked, “I have a nice bottle of red wine stashed away, would you like to try it?”

“Sure, since someone is willing to buy me dinner and some good wine, of course I’ll take it.” Theresa said with a smile.

Oscar gave her a thumbs up gesture. “I like that you are sincere. However, you just made up with Armand, it’s not good for you to be shared.”

Theresa lowered her eyelids, “It’s always good to test him after you reconcile.”

She knew that Armand had no parents, only a grandmother. His grandmother was very anxious to have a grandchild. She could not imagine how Armand’s grandmother, Elizabeth, would react when she learned that she was infertile.

Would she object to their being together? Or would she ask for a surrogate?

He didn’t dare think too much about it now. She would only withdraw after thinking about it.

“That’s right, after all, they’re going to spend their lives together, it’s good to have proof.” Oscar expressed his approval.

“I see that Armand is a good person, and you also fit each other.” Oscar said. At that moment, the waiter brought Oscar’s plates and wine to the table. He opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Theresa.

Theresa took the tall glass and prepared to taste the wine, the phone in her purse vibrated. She pulled out her phone and the notification bar showed Armand’s name. She clicked on the message and saw the message that said he missed her.

Her eyes darkened and she quickly replied, “Come see me then.”

Armand was called back to the house by Boyce. He sat down in a chair. Jasmine cooked some delicious dishes.

She heard the message tone on her phone. She quickly pulled out her phone and saw the contents of Theresa’s message. Then, the corners of her mouth turned up in delight.

“What made you so happy?” Jasmine was handing him a bowl.

Boyce replied, “Normally, when he showed this expression, it must have meant he had been called by Theresa. It’s like when the old emperor summoned the concubines, the concubines would be very happy and excited, so they would show this kind of expression.” Armand was speechless.

“Why do I feel like you’re scolding me?” Armand frowned, but he was still in a good mood. Theresa wanted him to go see her, did she mean she missed him too?

“Let’s eat.” Armand grabbed the bowl and chopsticks. He began to stuff rice into his mouth. He was very hungry. On the table were stewed water bamboo, stewed eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomato, and pork ribs stewed with white radish soup. All were homemade dishes and tasted good. Armand took a piece of stewed eggplant and said, “You’ve found the right girl for a girlfriend. She can cook well and you will be able to enjoy her cooking in the future.”

Boyce looked at him and said, “Just eat. Even eating you couldn’t stop talking.”

“I’m praising your insight, but you wouldn’t appreciate it.” Armand swallowed the food in his mouth, “Boyce, I’ll leave in the afternoon. Tell me what you need as soon as possible.”

Boyce was being blunt, “I just need money.”

Armand blinked and looked at him, “You don’t have any money, so now you’re depending on Jasmine to support you?”

Boyce didn’t bother to answer him. He didn’t even have a phone, let alone his wallet. He was lucky to survive until today.

“I don’t have much cash on me. Here’s my card.” Armand was anxious to see Theresa. He finished his bowl of rice in a few gulps. He picked up a bowl of soup and it was still hot, so he put it on the table to cool a little. She took out her wallet and pulled out her card. He handed the card to Boyce.

Boyce took it and said, “I’ll give it back to you when I get back.”

“Don’t tell me that useless stuff.” Armand wiped his mouth, “I’m not going back to City B, I’m going back to City C. I’m going straight back to City B from City C, so I won’t come here again. Go buy a phone when you have time so we can contact you.” Boyce said yes.

After lunch, Armand left.

In City B…

At the Miller Family…

Boyce had been missing for almost a week. Mrs. Miller and Officer Miller began to believe that Boyce might have died.

After all, the situation was very dangerous. The search had gone on for six days.

“Wendy, will you stop thinking about him? Give it up.” Mrs. Miller tried to persuade her daughter. She sighed, “You are not meant to be with him. The first time, you were the one who didn’t want to and it didn’t work out. The second time, he’s gone. If you are meant to be together, you would have been from the first time. Let’s find someone else suitable, okay?”.

Wendy was annoyed, “Mom, can you stop?”

“I’m saying this for your sake…”

“I don’t need it.” Wendy got up and grabbed her purse after saying this. Then, she walked out.

“Wendy…”

“Stop, let her go. As soon as she’s back, you started scolding her. Not to mention her, I felt annoyed too.” Officer Miller felt a little tired.

Mrs. Miller felt she was right, “I did it for her own good, didn’t I?”

“All right, all right, that’s enough.” Officer Miller pinched the bridge of his nose wearily.

He didn’t want to listen to any more nonsense.

“Where do you think he’s going?” Mrs. Miller was a little concerned.

“She’s an adult. Don’t worry too much.” Officer Miller said earnestly, “If you control her too much, she’ll be unhappy. Leave her alone and let her do what she wants.”

Mrs. Miller felt that children’s issues should still be decided by adults, even though Wendy was now an adult. When she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, she was scolded by Officer Miller: “If you say one more word, get out of here.”

He, too, was angry.

Mrs. Miller covered her mouth and began to cry.

Officer Miller stood up in irritation and walked into the room. He wouldn’t have to bother if he didn’t see her.

Wendy went to the villa after she left .
