Chapter 791 I’ll Go Fetch You


    The sky was already dark when Boyce arrived.


    Jasmine and her ssmates were having barbeque beside the stream on the hill. They brought


    charcoal, various meat and vegetable skewers and some DIY vegan skewers. The guys helped in


    cooking the skewers, while the girls helped to set up clothes in front of the tent and ced drinks and


    fruits on them.


    Jasmine was a little distracted. She kept looking at her watch and estimating how long was it until


    Boyce arrived.


    “Jasmine, what’s wrong? You looked distracted after picking up that call,” one of Jasmine’s ssmates


    They were close friends of Jasmine’s, so they knew she was married.


    “I wasn’t,” Jasmine looked down, “I was thinking about the clothes on the balcony. I wanted to go home


    and…”


    “Don’t be a killjoy. It’s dark, and it’s not going to rain tonight. The clothes are fine on the balcony,” one


    of the guys who was cooking the skewers overheard their conversation chimed in.


    “He’s right. You don’te out with us often, so don’t be a killjoy this time. Furthermore, it’s getting


    Everyone was convincing Jasmine and told her not to leave. It was gettingte, and the road going


    downhill was dangerous.


    Jasmine couldn’t say anything. She took out her phone and texted Boyce to ask him whether he was


    “I’ve arrived at the foot of the hill,” Boyce replied.


    Jasmine looked at her ssmates and said, “My husband came to fetch me…”


    “Wow, your husband is here?” Jasmine got surrounded by three girls before she could finish her words,


    “Ask your husband toe here. We want to meet him.”


    Jasmine felt awkward, “I…”


    “Don’t be stingy. We won’t take your husband away from you. We just want to meet him,” Jasmine’s


    ssmates wanted to meet the man who Jasmine loved and protected.


    “He’s busy. He often has time…”


    “Alright, Jasmine. Don’t be a killjoy. Introduce him to us. We might not have to chance to meet him next


    time.”


    Jasmine felt resigned. They were pretty close friends. It wasn’t good to reject them so harshly.


    So, Jasmine texted Boyce: Can youe up please? My ssmates wanted to meet you.” she added,


    “I’ll reject them if you don’t want to.


    Boyce replied after a while: I’lle up.


    They were Jasmine’s ssmates. If he refused to meet them, it could affect the rtionship between


    Jasmine and her ssmates.


    Jasmine smiled and replied Boyce: I’lle to meet you.


    Boyce replied: I’m fine. The road downhill wasn’t exactly easy to drive.

    Jasmine texted: I know the way. But you have to drive slowly. That’s it. I’ming to get you.


    Jasmine kept her phone away and stood up, “I need to go get him. He didn’t know the way.”


    “I’ll go with you,” a girl stood up, “We’ll look out for each other.”


    Jasmine agreed, “Sure.”


    The girl grabbed a shlight. Jasmine and the girl held hands and got off the hill. They even told the


    other ssmates, “Keep working. Get everything done when wee back.”


    “Be careful. It’s dark down there,” another ssmate told them.


    “Yes, we will,” the girl answered.


    It was easier to get up the hill than going downhill. Furthermore, it was night-time, and they had to


    depend only on the beam of the shlight. It was even more dangerous.


    Jasmine and the girl walked very slowly. After around half an hour, they saw a beam. The girl asked, “Is


    that your husband over there?”


    They could only see the beam and light movement. It should be Boyce, considering nobody would


    head uphill at this time.


    Jasmine wasn’t sure, “It should be him.”


    The girl waved at Boyce with their shlight, “Jasmine’s here!”


    The beam immediately shone in their direction.


    The girl said excitedly, “It’s your husband!”


    Boyce asked them to stop moving around. He told them that it was slippery and to be wary not to fall.


    Jasmine and the girl stayed put. After a while, Boyce approached them with the built-in shlight in this


    phone.


    The girl was excited to see Boyce. She reached out her hand and said, “Hi, I’m ine Jenkins,


    Jasmine’s ssmate.”


    Boyce shook her hand and withdrew his hand very quickly.


    Jasmine walked to him. She can’t really see his expression in the dark. She asked, “Why didn’t you tell


    me that you’reing back?”


    If Boyce told her that he wasing back, Jasmine wouldn’te out at all. She would stay home and


    wait for him toe home. Jasmine didn’t want Boyce toe hiking at night during his off-duty time.


    Boyce replied, “It was impulsive.”


    ine teased them, “Didn’t youe back because you miss Jasmine?”


    “ine!” Jasmine red at him.


    “Alright. I’ll zip my mouth. Let’s go back. They’re waiting for us,” ine passed the shlight to Jasmine


    and said, “I’ll walk in front. Help me to light up the way.”


    Jasmine nodded.


    Boyce and Jasmine walked behind ine while holding the shlight.


    ine turned and smiled at them, “Say whatever you want. I’m deaf from this minute. I won’t hear


    anything.”


    Jasmine felt speechless.


    “ine, you’re the worst.”


    ineughed at Jasmine.


    Boyce and Jasmine didn’t say anything along the way. All they did was holding hands.


    Jasmine’s ssmates were staring at them when they heard peopleing back.
