"Captain Shawn, do you have a friend here?" As he spoke, Charles's eyes fell on Jasmine, and he
asked with a smile, "And this is?"
Boyce couldn't say he liked Charles or disliked him. He just didn't think he should have a married
woman on his mind.
He thought that was immoral.
"I should be the one to ask you that, right?" Boyce naturally knew what kind of people were living in the
neighborhood.
Charles had some influence in White City, but there were so many big shots in City B that he was
nothing.
It was very unusual for him to know the people in this neighborhood.
He soon figured it out again, glanced at Tiana, smiled, and said, "Mr. White, you’re impressing."
Tiana might not be very smart, but she did have a good family background, and it was awesome for
Charles to marry her.
Charles did not continue to talk nonsense to him, but said in a solemn voice, "Captain Shawn, may I
have a word with you?"
He didn't know that Boyce was now a deputy officer, so he still referred to him as the captain.
"What do we have to talk about?" Boyce didn't mean to embarrass him. He just felt that he shouldn't be
close to him, much less involved, because of his relationship with Matthew.
"I have an appointment. I'll go first." After saying that, he turned to greet Jasmine, "Let's go."
"Captain Shawn, do we have a grudge?" Charles frowned. Should he be doomed just because he liked
Dolores?
Boyce gave him a look, "We don't have a grudge. I'm only friends with decent people. I don't like
people who covet other people's wives with bad intentions."
After saying that, he and Jasmine walked away.
Charles could not retort. He also knew that this was not right, but who could control the feelings?
If feelings could be controlled by the brain, and he could stop loving Dolores just as he said, he might
have given this command to his heart long ago. He told himself countless times that this was not right,
to let go, but the feelings were still there.
He had tried not to think about her, or create opportunities to meet with her. What more did he want him
to do?
"Some people are quietly hiding precisely for love. It's her you're hiding from, but it's the silent love that
you can't hide from. Charles, it's not your fault." Tiana put her hands over his shoulders and said
comfortingly, "Just like my uncontrollable feelings for you. If feelings could be put down so easily, they
wouldn't seem precious.
Charles held her hand and smiled, "Actually, I'm very lucky."
God sent her to his side.
This was the luckiest thing in his life.
She was simple and kind and understood all his helplessness.
He wished that he had never met Dolores, but what had happened could not be reversed, and the
heart that had throbbed could not be restored to its original state.
"Maybe Dad can help us." Tiana knew that he was trying to get justice for Tom.
Charles shook his head. He knew that Alan did not like people from the Bailey family and did not want
to get involved with the Bailey family. After all, Mrs. Meyer was related to the Bailey family.
He couldn't put the Meyer family in a difficult situation.
"Don't talk to Dad. I'll take care of this myself." Charles explained to Tiana.
"But Tom is in the hospital and you don't have anyone around ..."
"You have to trust me." Charles patted her, "Let's go home."
Tiana lowered her eyes. He could only listen to him and pushed him home.
Boyce led Jasmine to the front door of Officer Miller's house. He raised his hand to ring the doorbell,
while Jasmine stood aside and clutched her hands nervously. After all, it was a stranger's house, and
not just any stranger's house, so she was uneasy.
Boyce patted her shoulder, "We'll leave after a meal, and they're all very nice to get along with. Don't
feel constrained."
Jasmine forced a smile, "It's my first time here, so I'm nervous."
There was a click and the door opened. The person who opened the door was Officer Miller's wife,
Boyce called her Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller was smiling, but when she saw Jasmine, her smile slightly stiffened, "Who is this?"
"My ... girlfriend." Boyce felt it was too much trouble to explain, and if he said it wasn't his girlfriend,
Officer Miller would have to lecture him again. To save trouble, he said so.
The smile on Mrs. Miller's face completely disappeared.
"Mom, why don't you let him in?" Wendy walked over and smiled when she saw Boyce, "Come in
quickly."
Wendy was Officer Miller's daughter, and Boyce was familiar with her. So he said, "You're here too."
With her apron still tied around her body and a piece of ginger in her hand, she smiled and said, "Of
course, this used to be my home too. But it's still my home, too."
It used to be her home, it wasn't her home after she got married, and it was still her home after the
divorce.
Wendy and Boyce were of similar age. A few years ago, Officer Miller asked Boyce to come to his
home for dinner, but it was actually a blind date for them, and Officer Miller always had a high opinion
of Boyce.
He also felt that after his daughter married Boyce, Boyce would take good care of her. However, her
daughter did not agree and had to marry a doctor who came back from studying abroad, and some
time ago, the two suddenly divorced.
It was because the man cheated.
Mrs. Miller remembered Boyce again, so she pestered Officer Miller to call Boyce to their home for
dinner, trying to set up her daughter and Boyce.
Officer Miller had no choice but to ask Boyce to come to the house. He knew in his heart that his
daughter and Boyce were not meant to be. If there was a destiny, they would have become a couple,
and would not wait until now.
And he knew his daughter had married, and Boyce was still unmarried, so the two would be more
inappropriate. He was devoted to Boyce and loved him, so he didn't want to make things difficult for
Boyce.
So he deliberately asked Boyce to bring his girlfriend over so that his wife could give up that thought.
"Come in." Mrs. Miller turned sideways. She was excited to prepare a lot of good dishes, but now the
plan went down the drain, so Mrs. Miller was not very happy.
Seeing Jasmine, Wendy smiled, "Yo, you have a girlfriend?"
Boyce smiled and said, "Yes."
"I thought you would be a bachelor. You are too dull." Wendy and Boyce were not distant when they
talk, but rather as close as family.
