Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

“Don’t touch me.” Jasmine removed his clothes and then her hands paused and then looked at him and said tenderly, “Boyce.”

Boyce turned around but did not react.

Jasmine was speechless.

She frowned and stood next to the bed. She removed a sleeve with much difficulty and now Boyce’s other arm was under his body. She had no strength to push him over.

What should she do?

Jasmine was flustered and did not know what to do. She could not let him sleep like that. He would be uncomfortable. She knelt beside the bed and mustered all her strength to roll him over. Boyce was frustrated and brushed her hand away. He said with disdain, “Don’t touch me.”

Jasmine froze and looked at him. It was the first time she saw him in a drunk state. She felt that it was both amusing and frustrating.

“Sleep in this manner if you don’t want me to touch you. Don’t blame me if you ache all over tomorrow.” Jasmine sniped back and then took a blanket from the cupboard to cover him.

Boyce stirred and then stretched out his hand and demanded, “Where’s my phone?”

“You’re drunk, what do you need your phone for?” Jasmine grabbed his hand and continued, “Rest now.”

Boyce flung away her hand and persisted, “No, I need to make a call.”

Jasmine placed her hand on his forehead and asked, “Who do you need to call when you’re so drunk?”

“I miss her.” Boyce turned his back towards Jasmine.

People speak the truth when they were drunk. Jasmine felt happy that he missed her when he was drunk. She took a damp hand towel and wiped his face and hands. She removed his shoes and socks and covered his legs with the blanket. She then tidied the apartment and then took a shower and laid down beside him. He was reeking of alcohol and Jasmine felt disgusted by that perhaps it was due to her pregnancy that her sense of smell was more acute. She turned to face away from him and soon he reached for her and hugged her with his leg over her. His leg was very heavy and Jasmine pushed it away. Soon it was back over her and she could hardly sleep. She was very tired and took a blanket with her to sleep in the sitting room.

Boyce woke up in the morning and saw that he was alone in bed. He went out of the room and saw Jasmine sleeping on the sofa and asked, “Why are you sleeping here?”
