Snare of Love

Chapter 804 Didn't Your Husband Give You Any Allowance?

Dolores looked at Boyce and asked, “Are you guys fighting?”

Boyce was surprised that Dolores would say something like that, he answered, “No?”

Dolores didn’t seem to believe what Boyce said, but she didn’t ask any more questions. Boyce wasn’t a

child anymore, but Jasmine was also much younger than him. Sometimes, a girl could have more

delicate thoughts. Dolores told Boyce, “You know Jasmine’s situation the best, you need to love and

protect her, make her feel like she has a family. Don’t make her feel abandoned.”

Boyce smiled and nodded in agreement.

He was nice in his own way towards Jasmine. He supported her studies. When she said that she

wanted to stay in the dorm because she was busy with her studies, he didn’t stop her or say anything,

even though he wanted to spend more time with her when he came back.

He even drove her there.

But Boyce thought about it and felt that Jasmine was indeed different from before. She used to be full

of zeal and liked to be close to him. But lately, she was indifferent and cold. Did he do something

wrong?

He pondered about it. The last time before he went back, they didn’t fight. He was busier these days

and they weren’t in contact very much, there was not even a chance to argue.

Maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe Jasmine wasn’t angry at him.

“Give me the baby.” Jessica walked over and got the baby from Dolores’ arm. “The baby needs more

sleep at this stage.”

Dolores handed the baby to Jessica and went to pour two glasses of water. She put one in front of

Boyce and asked, “When is the next time you’re coming back?”

“In a month or so,” Boyce replied.

Dolores nodded; she took a sip of water and asked, “How many days were you here already? When

are you going back?”

“I was quite busy recently. After finishing up the things there I finally have some free time now. I can

stay for one more day, so I’m going back on Tuesday. And the next time I come back, I should be

almost done with my studies there,” said Boyce.

“I know that you’re busy, but even so, you still should make time to be with Jasmine.” When Jasmine

came over last time, Dolores noticed that there was something on her mind. She kept smiling, but she

spaced out a lot.

Boyce nodded, “I know.”

“Food is ready.” Coral put the dishes on the table. It was quiet at Dolores’ place today. It was Sunday

and Jayden brought his grandsons to the museum. They weren’t coming back for lunch; Matthew as

well as he had some business to attend to.

It wasn’t as merry as it used to be.

Boyce went back after the meal. He sat in the car and realized that he had nowhere to go. There was

no one at home, Jasmine wasn’t home. He took out his phone and messaged Jasmine, “Have you

eaten lunch?”

Jasmine was at the canteen. She bought something to eat but didn’t have the appetite. Her phone

buzzed and she took out her phone. She noticed that it was Boyce who messaged her and she quickly

unlocked her phone. She was angry about Boyce not taking the initiative to contact her, but she

couldn’t help but want to care about him and feel happy because of a message from him.

She read it and tried to act indifferent as she replied, ‘Yes.’

Boyce held his phone and didn’t know what else to say. Should he tell her that he missed her? Was

that too cheesy? Jasmine was at school now, so he asked, ‘What did you eat?’

Jasmine was speechless.

How could he be such an idiot?

She held her breath and replied, ‘Yoghurt drink, salad, sandwich.’

Boyce realized that it was a stupid question, and then he asked, ‘How many more classes do you have Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

today?’

There was a light of hope in Jasmine’s eyes, she replied, ‘Why?’

Boyce quickly typed, ‘I want to see you…’

But then he hesitated and changed it, ‘Let’s have dinner together.’

Jasmine was speechless again.

Such an idiotic man!

‘I have classes, no time.’ Jasmine wrote and put her phone on the table. She didn’t have an appetite, to

begin with, and now she felt worse.

Elaine went up to her, “Jasmine, let’s go shopping after this since we have no classes in the afternoon.”

Jasmine didn’t want to go and wasn’t in the mood.

She asked Elaine, “Have you found an internship position yet?”

Elaine shook her head, “Not yet, how about you?”

“I’m aiming for Double H Stock Exchange.” Jasmine studied finance and wanted to work in a company

that was related to her field. She wanted to gain relevant experiences.

But it wasn’t easy to get into that particular company. She couldn’t get in without help.

“Ask your husband to help you, he must know somebody,” said Elaine enviously, “I’m so envious.

You’re already married before graduating from university, not to mention that your husband is a good

man. If I were you, I would quit studying. I would just stay at home and be a housewife, taking care of

my children and my husband. Isn’t that great as well?”

Jasmine glanced at her, she didn’t want to be a housewife.

She wanted to be equal with Boyce.

Initially, she wanted to take the test to become a policewoman. But then she thought that maybe it

wasn’t a good idea for both of them to work in the same field. So, she decided to study what she

originally wanted to do.

“Jasmine, I’ll treat you to a drink. Come shopping with me.” Elaine held Jasmine’s arm, “It would be so

boring, shopping alone.”

Jasmine pursed her lips.

“Two drinks. I’ll buy you two drinks, okay?”

Jasmine glanced at her and said, “Fine. Just one drink is enough.”

“Then hurry up and finish your food.” Elaine urged Jasmine to eat faster so that they could go

shopping.

Jasmine grabbed her chopsticks and glanced at her phone. There was no new message. She took her

phone and put it into her pocket, lowered her head and continued eating.

After eating, Elaine called a cab. They got in the car at the university entrance. Jasmine thought Elaine

wanted to go to Peace Street. Peace Street had everything and the prices were usually reasonable.

She didn’t know that Elaine wanted to go to a shopping mall.

They were students and didn’t have that much money.

Clothes at the shopping mall were more on the expensive side.

Jasmine asked, “What do you want to buy?”

“I want to buy business attire, for job interviews,” said Elaine as she looked at Jasmine, “Are you not

going to buy one?”

Jasmine shook her head, “I have one already.”

“You bought it from Peace Street, didn’t you?” Elaine stared at her.

Jasmine did buy it at Peace Street. She thought that it was good enough, “What’s so bad about that? It

suits my identity.”

She never worked a serious job before. She thought wearing branded clothing would make her seemed

phoney.

She would also only be an intern, there was no use wearing nice and branded clothing.

But Elaine disagreed, she thought that good clothing could make one feel more confident, “Didn’t your

husband give you an allowance?”
