Snare of Love

Chapter 603 Become The Woman That Can Help Him

Actually, she understood that society would be in chaos if legal constraints didn't exist.

However, when she thought of what happened to her mother, her heart was aching.

Boyce didn't know how to comfort her. Even if he had seen many seamy sides of lives, it was hard for

him, as an outsider, to empathize on this matter.

In reality, things that had happened to Jasmine's parents were a norm in many places. Every person is

an individual, and their actions and thoughts are all independent. Therefore, every individual is

different, and some people are much more absurd than others.

The only thing he could do was care a little more for this pitiful girl.

Now he only knew why her mother was sent to prison. The last time when he read the case file, he

knew it was a homicide, but he didn't read about the murder motives. And now he knew that the murder

was an act of resistance due to oppression from long-term domestic violence. It was indeed

sympathizing. However, a murder is still a murder, no matter what the motives were.

If anyone could anyhow punish bad people, wouldn't this society become chaotic?

Jasmine also didn't know what was going on with her just now for telling him her story, "I'm very sorry. I

shouldn't have told you."

"No, it's okay. I don't mind. Do you know why some foreign countries are in disorder?" Boyce said.

Jasmine said she knew, "Because their law is incomplete. I heard that some countries even allow their

citizens to own weapons. You can't even sleep peacefully at night if you live in that country."

"That's why it's important to have the law. Other than protecting the personal safety of people, a

complete set of laws is also important for the continuity of society. No matter what the reason is, or who

did it, everyone is equal and should get punished for committing a crime." Boyce said.

"I understand. It was just a momentary sigh of emotion." Jasmine lowered her eyes. She could only

blame her own immaturity at that time, and that she should have reported to the relevant departments.

For now, the government has already introduced many laws about women, and there were some good

solutions for solving domestic violence.

"Where are we going?" Boyce asked.

He didn't know the way.

"I'm not familiar with this area. Drive to the west of the city." Jasmine laughed and said, "I've almost

forgotten that we are going to eat. You should be hungry by now, right?"

Boyce told her that he was still okay.

After he said that, the two of them did not speak again, and the car fell into silence.

Jasmine worked part-time around this area; therefore, she was very familiar with the place.

"Turn right at the intersection in front."

Boyce followed her instructions and turned right at the intersection in front.

"Just follow this road and drive straight," Jasmine said.

Boyce turned and glanced at her, "What is there to eat here?"

"You will know when we reach there. If I tell you know, there won't be any surprise." Jasmine said

playfully, letting him guess.

Boyce smiled and did not ask anymore. Even though Jasmine did not have a good childhood, she was

optimistic and tough. Furthermore, although she lived alone in the city, he could tell that she was

hardworking, and was not pessimistic, which was very rare.

"Stop the car in front of the red sign," Jasmine said.

Boyce drove the car and stopped in front of the red sign. Jasmine pushed opened the door and got out

of the car.

She stood in front of the restaurant and waited for Boyce, and said, "I used to work part-time in this

restaurant, and I know the owner. Their special roast duck is super good."

Even though the restaurant's location wasn't ideal, the place was big, and their decorations were

unique. Additionally, the place was quite clean too.

"We're a little late. It will be full of customers if we came at noon. Let's go in." Jasmine smiled and said.

Boyce nodded and went into the restaurant. Because it was past the peak lunch hours, there were a lot

of empty seats. Jasmine chose a table close to a French window.

"Well, look who's here. Welcome back, Jasmine." The waiter came over and greeted her.

Jasmine smiled and said, "Yeah, employees can get discounted rates for eating here, right? Remember

to give me a discount later."

"No problem." The waiter glanced towards Boyce, then threw an ambiguous wink at Jasmine, "And this

is..."

"My uncle." Jasmine quickly interrupted her.

"I thought he's your boyfriend. Here, what do you want to order?" The waiter passed them the menu.

"Let me order. I know what's good here." Jasmine volunteered.

Boyce put down the menu.

"This, this, this and this. That's all." Jasmine returned the menu to the waiter.

"Alright, I'll serve you the food in a short while." The waiter smiled and said to Jasmine.

After the waiter walked away, Jasmine went to pour a glass of water and put it in front of Boyce, "Drink

some water first."

Boyce took a sip. After a while, the waiter served the dishes up. Jasmine only ordered four dishes, but

the waiter brought five of them, and said, "The owner knows that you've brought guests, so he gave

you an extra."

After serving all the dishes, the waiter put away the tray and said, "Enjoy your meal." Then, she walked

away.

The specialty of the restaurant was the crispy roast duck. The roasted skin was crispy, and the meat

was tender and juicy. Jasmine took a piece of duck meat, wrapped it with bread, and asked, "Which

one do you prefer, sweet or spicy?"

Boyce said, "I prefer it to be spicier. Girls would probably prefer the sweet sauce more."

"Who told you that? Nowadays, girls can also eat spicy food." Jasmine dipped the spicy sauce,

wrapped the duck meat in bread, and put it beside Boyce's mouth, "Try it."

Boyce looked down at the duck meat that was put beside his mouth. He felt that it was too intimate,

and it felt a little inappropriate, “You eat it. I can wrap one myself."

"Why? Is it because of my hands? I washed them when I went to get water for you." Jasmine did not

compromise, smiled, and said, "Just eat it.”

Boyce had no choice but to open his mouth. When Jasmine put the food inside his mouth, she

accidentally touched his lips, and it felt quite soft. She quickly withdrew her hands and put them under

the table.

She looked at Boyce in anticipation and asked, "How is it? Is it good?"

Boyce nodded. He could feel the brief touch too, but he pretended as if nothing had happened, "It

tastes good, and it's not greasy."

It was really not bad. Generally, the skin of the roasted duck will be oily. But for this restaurant, the skin

of their roasted duck was very crispy, and they could still maintain the tenderness of the meat inside.

After dipping it with the spicy sauce, every bite was a unique experience. The fusion of the meat and

the bread made it so that you could not only taste the greasiness of the meat, but also the aromatic

crispiness of the skin.

"Try the sweet sauce. It's very nice too." Jasmine put the sweet sauce in front of him. Following how

she did it, Boyce took a piece of bread first, took a piece of duck meat, dipped it in sweet sauce, and

wrapped it with the bread. Then, he put the whole thing into his mouth. The different sauce gave him a

different sensation. It was both delicious.

"You are quite good at finding nice food," Boyce commented.

"I only knew about it because I worked here, I don't have that kind of money to eat here." Jasmine

smiled and spoke. Then, she changed the topic suddenly, "Do you have any kind of requirement for

your future wife? Like having a good family background, or having a decent job?"

At Officer Miller's house, the woman mentioned that Boyce was successful now, was all because of her

father.

But Jasmine felt that Boyce deserved what he had today because of his hard work.

She really wanted to become the woman that can help him.

"As long as she is about the same age as me and looks decent. I don't have any requirements for

family backgrounds or job status, as long as we can get along well." Boyce said gently. He did not have

any yearnings to find another half. For him, getting married was just an obligation. He would not even

consider marriage if it wasn't for his age.

His requirements were not high, but for Jasmine, it was considered high too. Firstly, Boyce and she had This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

a huge age gap.

His requirements were not high, but for Jasmine, it was considered high too. To begin with, Boyce and

she had a huge age gap.

Jasmine put some food on his plate, "I want to change my major. I'm thinking of going to the police

academy."
