Keith was dumbfounded as he stared at Jasmine. He found it hard to believe that Jasmine would have
such a huge reaction. He quickly explained, “I—I don’t mean anything else, I am just afraid that you
won’t be happy if you are together with him…”
“Then, do you really think that happiness can be attained by using money?” Jasmine cut him off with a
witty and sharp reply.
Keith protested indignantly, “It was Mr. Shawn here who told me that without a stable job, I won’t be
able to bring you into a good life. That is the reason I was probing him about this.”
He no longer addressed Boyce familiarly.
He no doubt felt that Boyce had taken away his opportunity.
If Boyce never appeared, he would have stood a chance.
Jasmine looked at Boyce wordlessly but her expression indicated that she was trying to validate what
Keith had just claimed.
Boyce coughed lightly as he admitted truthfully since he was not someone who would run away from
his deeds, “I did say that.”
Jasmine hooked her arm around his, “What you just said, they were all correct.”
Keith didn’t know what to say for a moment.
His eyes widened as he tried to comprehend what was going on.
“Jasmine, you are being unfair here. Why is he the one who’s always correct while I’m wrong? You are
being too petty.”
“He is my boyfriend, and I like everything about him. Even if there is something wrong with him, I will
still think that he’s right. Do you have any problem with what I said?” Jasmine knew that she was
blatantly “biased” here, but all she wanted to do was to protect her man.
This was because Boyce belonged to her.
She really loved and cherished him.
“Jasmine, you’ve changed. You were never this unreasonable in the past.” Keith found himself getting
harder and harder in his understanding of her.
She used to be someone mellow and kind, but why did she turn out like this?
Could it be that love had turned her into someone who didn’t know reason anymore?
“No matter how great your love is for someone, you can’t discard your real self. As time goes on, he will
look down on you and then his love will turn to resentment and in the end he will abandon you.” Keith
was worried that Jasmine would get hurt. She was in a very belittled position in their relationship, and
with the passage of time, she would slowly get the cold shoulder from Boyce.
Jasmine picked up Boyce’s palm and intertwined her fingers with his. She knew that Boyce wasn’t an
irresponsible person, and she believed him fully as well as her own judgment.
“If I never have feelings, I won’t even consider putting in any effort, but if I fully love him, I will give him
everything that I have. Even if time proves that I am wrong about him and I get hurt, I will be okay with
it too.” Jasmine was gazing up at Boyce intently, but her words were directed at Keith.
Keith felt incredulous after hearing Jasmin’s logic. Why didn’t she try to do the best prevention? ‘Why
did she have to succumb fully to her feelings? Why didn’t she give herself some leeway in case
something went wrong?’
“You fool. People used to say that a woman who is madly in love has zero intelligence. I can finally
prove that with my own eyes.” He turned around to leave after leaving that sentence, but he stopped
short after taking a few steps. He turned to look at Boyce and warned him, “Be good to her. If you don’t
treat her well, I won’t hold back on you. Your position won’t do you any good. I will punch you no matter
the circumstances!”
After proclaiming that, he marched away.
Boyce called out to him, “I won’t give you a chance to punch me.”
Keith momentarily froze in his steps, but he didn’t turn around anymore and he didn’t answer Boyce.
He marched forward once again, and his somewhat lonely silhouette gradually disappeared into the
night.
Jasmine let out a sigh, “I actually don’t know whether I will regret this. I have pushed away someone
who cares so much about me.”
Boyce raised his brows and tilted his head at her, “You are regretting now?”
Jasmine replied solemnly, “A little.”
Boyce bit his lips as a sense of discomfort crept up to him. Was he that unreliable?
Jasmine secretly observed the slight changes in his expression with the help of moonlight and she
found that he actually believed her words.
She let out another sigh, “You are not fun at all. I think I am regretting falling for you.” After saying that,
she let go of his hand and turned to return to the house.
Boyce chased after her and grabbed her wrist and pulled her whole body into his embrace. “How can
you regret your own decision? You can’t be someone who eats her own words.”
Jasmine was hugged too tightly by him to the point that she was beginning to catch he breath. Her legs
were dangled in mid-air, and with her face facing his, she deliberately put her lips near his chin, “I am
indeed regretting things now. What are you going to do about it?”
