Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2837

Joan fell silent at once.

Jake seemed to be very assured of Joan's responses; he didn't even return home together withDustin and Abelyn. That was exactly what the two desired.

"Please prepare some hot soup for her,” Dustin said to the housemaid.

Seeing how serious the person before her was about her health, Joan let her guard down bydegrees. What's their actual purpose coming here?

She couldn't stop studying the two people sitting together with her in the living room. As such, shestarted growing more inquisitive. Can it be that they are actually my old friends? Jake had told herpreviously that she had lived an unhappy life, and he had said that it was better for her to notremember anything. Nevertheless, she had encountered a number of people mistaking her for theirfriends or family lately, and that troubled her.

If it only happened once, she would not have been so bothered, but similar episodes had occurredtwice, and she couldn't treat it as just a coincidence.

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” she asked softly.

Gazing at the person before him, Dustin was a little upset. Has she really forgotten about all thememories she shared with me?"

“Joan, I'm Dustin, and this is Abelyn. We used to be best friends. Have you forgotten everything?” heasked anxiously.

Upon listening to his words, Joan looked up instantly. She sized them up, tilting her head on oneside and trying to recall something from the past. However, she had not a single inkling of her past.What actually happened? How did she end up losing all her memories? Dustin clenched his fist andwas deeply concerned.

What about Larry? She should at least remember the man she loves most, right?

“Joan, do you remember Larry?” Dustin asked meticulously.

Larry? This name sounds particularly familiar to me... It's as though I've heard it somewhere.Nevertheless, Joan shook her head in response eventually.

Wow, she has even forgotten about the most significant man in her life. How is this even possible?Is it the scoundrel Jake trying to hamper us deliberately? Dustin had his guard up at once.

“I was injured previously, and it's Jake who has been taking care of me all this time. Hence, otherthan him, I don’t remember anyone else,” Joan explained softly.

Dustin and Abelyn gave each other a gaze, and realization dawned on them.

"What about now? What's your relationship with Jake?” Abelyn asked in apprehension.

“I'm his girlfriend now. To be precise, I'm his fiancée,” replied the woman. Despite that, there was ahelpless note in her tone.

In fact, she didn't love Jake as much as she thought she did. The man had been helping her, lookingafter her, and protecting her, yet, she had nothing to repay him with but her companionship. Intruth, she didn't even discern if it was friendship or love between herself and the man. And it wasbecause she couldn't even bear to ponder about it. She was afraid that one day when she figuredout her true identity, she would end up hurting Jake's feelings.

“Joan, don't marry Jake. Please reconsider your decision, alright?” Dustin grabbed her arm and saidin consternation.

He was reluctant at the prospect of the woman he loved making a regretful decision that she herselfwould grieve over later in life. I must divulge to her that Larry is the one man who loves her most.He's who she loves most in this world! What wicked ways did that scumbag Jake employ to makesuch a sucker out of Joan?

What was deemed as “wicked ways’ by Dustin was in actuality, only Jake's genuine devotion to Joan."Excuse me, can't you show some respect? Why can't I marry Jake? He's so good to me. He lovesme, coddles me, takes good care of me, and he’s the one person who treats me best on earth. Ofcourse I will marry him.” Joan's voice was filled with both a little frustration and a little anticipation.It was presumable that she must be conflicted and tangled at that particular juncture.

Abruptly, Abelyn asked from the side, “But do you love him?”

For a moment, Joan lowered her head. She couldn't seem to answer the question from Abelynbecause she couldn't decide herself if she truly loved Jake or not. She only knew that he was verygood to her; she couldn't let him down.
