Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Boyce denied.

“Okay, let’s eat. This issue is resolved.” Miller knew that his daughter was exposed by his wife and regretted it.

But there was no use to cry over spilled milk. What was fated to be will be and nothing can be forced.

One cannot force fate. Although he had wanted Boyce to marry his daughter but at least today his wife can finally abandon her hopes.

As for his daughter, she could only look for another man.

Miller liked Boyce and hoped that he could become his son-in-law but that was not to be.

Now that his daughter was also a divorcee, all the more he could not hope for it.

He would be satisfied if his daughter could find someone decent.

“Come, let’s eat. Don’t stand on ceremony.” Miller said to Jasmine, “Cat’s got your tongue? The last time you were so chatty. What happened to you today?” Miller liked Jasmine because she had moxie and confidence.

Jasmine smiled, “The last time I was too anxious and was worried that you would punish him.”

Miller smiled and asked, “It must be you who asked Boyce out first.” He knew Boyce very well and even when there was a rumor about Boyce, he never believed that Boyce was guilty of it.

“No, I was the one who asked her out first.” Boyce quickly replied.

He wanted to protect Jasmine’s dignity.

Furthermore, it was her who was helping him today.

He could not let others think that way of her.

Miller laughed heartily, “So your icy heart finally thawed?”

The Boyce he knew was very reserved.

Boyce must have liked her a lot to initiate the relationship.
