Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 858 Children is a Debt of their Parents

Officer Miller’s face began to grow redder and redder.

Wendy could not take it anymore.

“Dad, I am your one and only daughter, so why are you giving so much care to an outsider? Am I your
offspring, or is he?” Wendy still couldn’t figure out Officer Miller’s bizarre action. She pointed at Boyce
and asked vehemently.

Officer Miller clutched his chest and felt his rage consuming him. Why was this daughter of his so
disobedient and unwilling to take an advice?

“Are you trying to make me so mad that I can die?” Officer Miller was breathing heavily as he said that.

Wendy cried until her whole face was covered in goo and ears, “You are always protective of him and
you didn’t so much as give me half of that attention while I am your daughter. Ever since I was a child,
have you ever cared for me? Don’t you think it’s too late to educate me now?”

Officer Miller was staggering backwards until his butt hit the sofa. He looked like he had just heard the
most unbelievable thing in the world. He was always busy, so his daughter was raised mostly by his
wife. Of course, Wendy would take after his wife in the way that both of them were pretty unreasonable.

“It’s my fault, it’s all my own fault.” Officer Miller was in so much grief.

He didn’t watch over her a lot when she was a child, now that she was an adult, it seemed that he had
lost his authority to have a word with her.

He was deeply regretful.

He regretted that he didn’t accompany her in her growing days and educate her.



“Dad.” Wendy was shocked by her father’s complexion as she hurried forward to calm him down.
Officer Miller had such a distorted expression that she was afraid that he would faint.

Officer Miller was beginning to enter his twilight years, and he had served as the head officer of the
station for an extended period of time. He was always serious in work which made him a respected
man, and even after his retirement, his former subordinates and colleagues would greet and welcome
him with open arm, yet at this moment…

His own daughter was so ridiculous that he felt that he had lost all face!

With his breathing still short and ragged, he said while giving a stern stare at her daughter, “You are
right. I have brought you into this world, yet I didn’t raise you up well. Now that you have made a
mistake, I am actually the one to be blamed. I am the one at fault here.”

“I am your father after all, and I have some responsibility in your actions and mistakes. If you don’t want
to apologize, I will do that in your place!” Officer Miller turned to look at Boyce, “I didn’t raise my
daughter well…”

“Dad, don’t apologize to him. He thought that by taking over the head officer’s position he could be so
disrespectful now. He is able to achieve whatever up till this point because of your help, but now just
because of something so minor, he wants to find fault with you. He doesn’t know what is gratitude, and
someone like that is not someone to be respected!”

“You…” Officer Miller’s face was ugly with a greenish color as if the next thing to expect from him was
him passing out on the spot.

Boyce sighed secretly as he wasn’t actually that petty when it comes to his former superior. He was
loathing his own daughter to the core, and that warranted Boyce’s attention now.

“Officer Miller, I am not angry.”



Officer Miller held Boyce’s hand and he struggled mightily to make himself able to speak. Only after a
short while did he open his mouth, “I am sorry to you.”

Her daughter had committed more than just a single mistake.

He knew that very well.

“Wendy, oh Wendy. We must talk reason all the time. Tell me, what did Boyce do that offend you? Can
you force things without any real feelings between two people? You didn’t just stop at the first mistake,
and I didn’t think I had it in me to scold you. Like you said, I care for you too less so I am not worthy to
reprimand you. I just feel sorry for you, and that is why I chose to turn a blind eye towards what you
have done.”

His breathing continued to struggle and he was hammering his chest now. Otherwise, his breathing
wouldn’t get smooth.

“To spoil a child is like killing a child! I am wrong all the while. I should not let you do as you please all
the time.” The ever-dominant and prideful Officer Miller had a streak of tear down his cheeks. This
showed that he was really upset.

Wendy was very startled at what she was seeing. Her father was always a towering, strict figure in her
heart, but now he was actually crying in front of an underling. He was a ghost of his former glorious
self. He always cared about dignity, yet now… All of a sudden, she felt empathetic towards her father
and she hugged him, “Dad, I know I am wrong now…” Wendy began to wail in Officer Miller’s embrace.

Officer Miller caressed his daughter’s hair and said, “If you carry yourself well, people will see it; If you
don’t do that, someday, someone will discover your ugly self too. What you need to do is to be able to
live up to your own name and be free of guilt. Think carefully, since your divorce, how many things
have you done wrong? If you are always faithful towards Boyce, and based on his temperament, he



would have treated you like a gem. You are the one who kept making mistakes and losing your
chances, so you have no right to blame others.”

Wendy didn’t say anything to retort her father, which was an indication that some of those advice must
have registered with her.

Officer Miller sighed and said to Boyce,” If I still have any weight in your heart, I should capitalize on my
seniority and hope that you can forgive her this time. I give you my word that she won’t do anything to
you from now on.”

Since Officer Miller had steered the conversation into such a direction, Boyce couldn’t just press his
former boss further, “I won’t pursue this matter. I was at fault too last time, since I was the one going
back on my own words. I was wrong too. Wendy, I am sorry.”

Wendy did make a lot of mistakes, which was an irrefutable fact. He had to admit that he wasn’t a saint
without errors too, and he also hoped that Wendy could become more reasonable in the future contrary
to just blaming others and biting others hard without taking a good look at the mirror herself.

He hoped that Wendy could see very clearly where her flaws were and value the good things others
brought to the table.

Wendy continued to sob and cry in her father’s embrace, “I don’t want to listen to you apologizing to
me. Go away now, and don’t ever appear in front of me again!”

Alas!

Officer Miller let out a sigh again, “They say that children will always be a debt to their parents, and
they are certainly not wrong.”



Boyce stood up, “Officer Miller, please take good care of your health. There won’t be anyone spreading
nonsensical rumours about this matter, and that is because it’s you who’s in the centre of the matter. If
it were anybody else, I wouldn’t have just let this go so easily. After all, this matter was a huge pain in
my ass, since I was just promoted and immediately a complaint against me was filed. So many people
want to see me turn into a joke.”

This was also a sign of respect towards Officer Miller and he wanted to prove using action that he
wouldn’t pursue the matter with Wendy too. However, he needed to remind everyone that there were
limits to him too.

Officer Miller was someone very fast on the uptake, so he naturally could read between the lines, “You
don’t have to worry…”

“From now on, we won’t have anything to do with each other anymore. You will walk on your own
single-plank bridge, and I will walk my own path too. We won’t interfere and indebted to each other in
any way, and we won’t have anything to do with each other even until death!”

Wendy interrupted her father and roared at Boyce, “It’s not like you are the only man in this world. It’s
hard to find a toad with two legs, but that is not the case with men. You are nothing so great!”

Boyce’s expression was hard and solemn, and he only looked at her calmly, “I really do hope for your
best. We have known each other for a long time, and I still reserve some respect for you.”

Wendy froze for a moment as she realized that her vehement outpouring of emotion was met with his
strangely calm gaze, which only made her look grotesque and ugly. For some time, she didn’t know
what to say anymore.

“I’m taking my leave. Take care, Officer Miller.” He announced his departure and turned to leave.



After getting off the elevator, a whiff of fresh air welcomed him in the corridor. He stood firmly on the
ground and let out a long, hard breath before finally marching forward.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn festival, Boyce brought Jasmine to the supermarket to procure some
goods. Of course, that included the moon cake.

He didn’t buy it just for their own enjoyment. Those moon cakes could be used as gifts as family would
gather during the Mid-Autumn festival. It was boring just for him and Jasmine to linger at home, so they
brought those moon cakes as gifts and visited the old mansion.

When he and Jasmine arrived, they stumbled upon Dr. Jason at the door. He didn’t look very
good.
