Snare of Love novel Chapter 678

Keith sat on a row of chairs that was against the wall, rested his elbows on his knees and intertwined his fingers. He said very seriously, “I have liked her since I first met her. Later, I have known that she has come to the school in the village to become a teacher. She does not receive salary, but she buys books for the children. From then on, I know that she is a kind and good girl. After interacting with her, I am sure that she is a very kind and caring girl.”

After he had mentioned that, he paused for a while, “She is unwilling to mention a lot of things about her past. I really want to understand her. In the future, I want to become her relative, her dependence and a person who can take care of her.”

After hearing so much, Boyce was concerned about something, “The two of you…are in a relationship?”

“To be precise, I am currently courting her. You are her friend. You hope that she will be blissful, don’t you?” Keith stared at Boyce’s facial expression.

Although Keith was already very smart, he was not capable enough of getting information out of Boyce’s facial expression.

For some reason, Boyce’s mind was inexplicably at ease when he heard that Keith was still courting Jasmine and they were not in a relationship.

Boyce was in good spirits, but his words showed no mercy towards Keith, “Of course I want her to be blissful. But you are still a university student. Can you support yourself? How are you going to take care of her?”

“I will graduate from my university a year from now. I will then have a job…”

“You should talk about this when you have graduated and have a job,” Boyce interrupted him mercilessly.

“As a friend, you should not say this. You should wish her well and approve of her finding happiness…”

At that moment, Jasmine had gone through the discharge process and walked towards them, “What are the two of you talking about?”

The corners of Boyce’s mouth quirked up. He said, “Nothing much. Can we go now?”

“Of course,” Jasmine said with a smile on her face.

Keith stood up and walked to the position beside Jasmine. He smiled and looked at Boyce, “You are our guest. We should entertain you. Let’s go.”

After he had finished speaking, he held Jasmine’s hand and walked in front of Boyce to lead the way.

Jasmine looked at him incredulously, “You…”

“Shh.” Keith leaned towards Jasmine and whispered, “You already held my hand just now, so I will hold your hand now.”

Jasmine was very uneasy, “I did it out of desperation…”

“No matter what situation you were in, you held my hand anyway. You must return the favor now.” Keith smiled.

Boyce stared at Keith’s hand that was holding Jasmine’s hand and felt vexed. He kept on thinking, ‘Why didn’t Jasmine push him away?’

‘Is it possible that Jasmine has a crush on him?’

‘What is so good about that young man?’

‘What kind of gaze is she having?’

The more he thought about it, the unhappier he became. He was getting more and more annoyed.

He quickly walked forward and yanked Jasmine’s hand away. Jasmine was surprised and looked at him, “You…”

Boyce pretended to be calm and said, “If the two of you want to walk, the two of you should walk properly. The two of you are occupying a lot of space in the hallway if the two of you are holding hands. That way, how can others walk?”

After he had finished talking, he strode in front of them.

Keith clasped his hands. When Boyce didn’t approve of him courting Jasmine, he suspected that Boyce had a crush on Jasmine. Boyce’s actions at that moment indicated that he clearly had feelings for Jasmine.

‘He is much older than Jasmine. If I am unsuitable for Jasmine, he will be even more unsuitable for Jasmine. How can he lack so much self-awareness?’

“Let’s go.” Boyce noticed that they didn’t follow him. He turned around and said to them.

As Jasmine blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered. She lowered her gaze, walked up to him and walked beside him.

Keith was unwilling to be outdone and walked beside Jasmine. The hallway was originally not wide. Since they walked side by side, they occupied all the space in the hallway.

After they had walked out of the hospital, Jasmine walked forward and wanted to hail a taxi. Since there were many taxis in front of the hospital, it was easy to stop a taxi. Keith wanted to perform well in front of Jasmine, pulled her aside and said, “I will go and hail a taxi.”

Jasmine replied, “There is no need for that.”

She didn’t want to cause trouble for others.

“You are a girl. Don’t always be dominant. Don’t always be so courteous to me. We are already so familiar with each other.” Keith grinned playfully.

She thought that she would seem pretentious if she declined again. She nodded, “Sorry for the trouble.”

“It is no trouble.” Keith walked to the roadside, stopped a taxi and asked about the fare. After he had decided that the fare was reasonable, he called Jasmine and Boyce over, politely opened the front door and said to Jasmine, “Your friend should sit on the front passenger seat. He has injuries. If we sit with him, we might knock into him, and as a result, his injuries might worsen.”

Jasmine thought that what he had said made sense. When she was about to agree with him, Boyce spoke, “I am not so delicate. These small injuries mean nothing to me.”

After he had finished talking, he pulled Jasmine down on to the back seats.
