Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Boyce was wheezing with heavy breaths, “You have nothing to worry about. Before our marriage, I won’t do anything to hurt you.”

Even if they lay in the same bed, he wouldn’t touch her anywhere.

He felt some form of pressure in his heart as well. He always felt that Jasmine was too young, and if he did anything to her, it would make him as though a “rapist”. He would feel guilty.

Jasmine didn’t continue to tease him. She felt that he was really a rare gem whom she had to treasure. She got up from Boyce’s arms and seated herself opposite to resume the dinner. She picked up some dishes and put it in his plate, “Whatever you like to eat, I will make them for you.”

All of a sudden, Boyce felt like he was back at home. As a single man for a long time, the prospect of someone caring for him was attractive, and it was something precious to him.

He shoved the mashed potatoes which Jasmine had put into his plate into his mouth.

After dinner, Jasmine began to put back those cutleries, “If you can’t fall asleep, you should have it easy outside.”

Boyce shook his head as he followed her around and watched her wash those plates.

Jasmine glanced at him, “What’s there to watch here?”

“I want to learn this. Then I can help you do it later on.” Boyce said with a solemn tone.

Jasmine simply laughed.

“Ms. Burke, Ms. Burke.” Kirk came over with a watermelon in tow, “Grandpa wants me to give you this.” He saw Boyce, and then he added, “You guys can eat together.”

Jasmine put down the dishes, washed her hands and took over the watermelon. She placed it on the desk, “Help me to say thanks to grandpa.”

“My grandpa says you’re welcome. He told me that you’re a good person, Ms. Burke. You have given me a lot of learning tools. This watermelon is nothing.” Kirk said while smiling, and when he grinned, his shiny white teeth formed a stark contrast to his tanned skin, “I’ll be going now so that I won’t bother you.”
