Snare of Love

Chapter 680 I Fell for Him First

“Jasmine, your friend like you, don’t he?” Keith said.

Boyce was startled and curious at the same time as to why did he ask.

Jasmine was shocked, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“He borrowed my mobile when I sent the clothes. I think he called his family telling them he’s doing

fine. Does he plan to stay here? And…” He turned to Jasmine, “When I said I like you, he disapproved,

if he really does wants the best for you, doesn’t he wants someone to take care of you?”

“Maybe he thinks we are not suitable to each other, you overthink,” Jasmine said.

She stood up wanted to walk away but was stopped by Keith, “I mean it when I said I like you.”

Jasmine was all blank and at loss for a word with this sudden confession.

“Jasmine, you are an orphan, but I can be your family. There won’t be any pressure on you being my

family, no one will say anything…”

“Please stop it, I have no intention of getting into a relationship now,” Jasmine rejected.

“We are about the same age and our family background matches, please do consider…”

A sudden glass breaking sound from the house interrupted them. Jasmine struggled loose from Keith

and ran towards the house. She saw Boyce standing in front of the desk with broken glass on the floor.

She dashed up to check Boyce’s hand, “Are you hurt?”

Boyce pressed his lips and watched Jasmine in silence.

Jasmine looked up and saw Boyce looking at her with a complicated gaze. She realized she was

holding his hand and released them immediately, “You have injuries and I scare that you hurt yourself

again…”

“You said you like me.” Boyce interrupted her.

Keith froze at the door.

‘Jasmine likes him?’

‘Jasmine likes him?’

The sentence kept repeating in his mind.

‘Of course, she looks so concern seeing him injured, it’s not something a casual friend will do. She

stayed and took care of him at the hospital, she truly cares for him.’

He turned and walked away.

“I was just joking.” Jasmine defended.

She confessed knowing that they won’t see each other again, but now that he was in front of her, she

did not dare to admit it.

“If I take it seriously?” After hearing Keith’s question ‘Does your friend like you?’ Boyce questioned

himself why did he feel uncomfortable seeing another man next to Jasmine.

She said she might get married but he didn’t want her to marry any other man.

Why did he not want her to be with another man?

Perhaps, because he liked her, that was why he didn’t want her to be with any other man or marry

someone else.

On the other hand, Armand was thrilled to receive a call from Boyce. He told Matthew first and intended

to tell Officer Miller, so they could stop worrying.

While he was about to knock on Officer Miller’s door, he heard Mrs Miller said, “It’s been three days, is

he still alive?”

No one answered her.

“It’s good that Wendy hasn’t married him, it would be a disaster if she had,” she continued.

‘She’s been divorced once and who would want to marry her if her husband died?’

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Officer Miller scolded.

“Am I wrong? Can he still be alive after being gone for so long?” Mrs. Miller defended, “It’s good that

not many know about Wendy and him. Guess they are not meant to be together, he died, just like this.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Stop the crap! Died?” Officer Miller staring at her wife, infuriated, “Go back home, don’t give me more

trouble!”

“Look at you, you want him to be your son-in-law, but failed. A staff is more important than your

daughter? Look at your angry face!”

“That’s enough!” Wendy who had been quiet yelled, “Stop all this crap, we need to keep looking, I want

to see him, dead or alive.”

Armand quickly hid himself hearing that they were about to come out.

He disliked Wendy and now that he heard Mrs. Miller, he doubted even more, ‘What kind of woman she

is?’ he thought. ‘Boyce will suffer if he becomes her son-in-law.’

He thought, ‘Boyce said he is fine now, so there’s no need to hurry back, if Wendy loves him, she could

wait for a couple of months.’

He took out his mobile and called back the number that he received just now.

In the house.

Boyce realized he acted rather rushed, “Jasmine, I’m way older than you, I…”

“I don’t mind.” Jasmine looked up, her eyes reddened.

Age was not a matter to her, his attitude did.

“You know my family background, don’t you mind?”

“Boyce, there’s a call for you.” Keith appeared at the door with the mobile.

Jasmine turned her body and walked into the house, she didn’t want anyone to see her like this.

Boyce took the phone and answered it, “Hello?”

“It’s me, Boyce, don’t come back now,” Armand said.

“Why?” Boyce couldn’t understand. “Have you told Matthew that Declan is released? I will go back

tomorrow.”

Declan was released and could cause a lot of problems. He needed to go back and help Matthew

whenever needed.

“Matthew had taken care of Declan. Listen to me, don’t come back, for now, stay where you are for two

months.” Wendy could wait for two months if she truly loved him.

“Why?” Boyce was in doubt.

“Listen to me, I won’t harm you,” Armand said.

Boyce was confused, didn’t know what he was up to. But he felt better knowing that Declan had been

taken care of.

He returned the mobile to Keith, “Thank you.”

“It’s okay,” Keith replied weakly.

He wanted to walk away but changed his mind and turned to Boyce, “You said I’m not suitable for

Jasmine, do you think you are? You are much older and have been working, she was just a

university…”

“I fell for him first, what’s the problem with his age?” Jasmine said.
