Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2838

“True love should be two-way, and the people involved should be genuinely in love with oneanother. If you can't be sure about your true feelings, take my advice—don’t simply commityourself,” Abelyn added.

She's right. From the very beginning, it's Jake who has been actively taking the initiative to show mehis love. Never once did I make the first move in doing the same. I don't know if I love him or not.“My apologies. I'm exhausted, and I need to rest. Do see yourselves out,” Joan stood up, preparingto go upstairs as she said that to them. Seeing as such, Dustin rose and stopped her in her tracksright away. Tension was all that was left on his face.

“Joan, tell me then. When are you going to get married?” Hurriedly, Abelyn asked.

Joan was flabbergasted. She didn't know the answer to that question because she didn't know whenshe would be able to accept Jake wholeheartedly. Perhaps, it's up to fate to take its course, andwhen the time comes, I'll get married to him.

“Joan, you can only marry Larry,” Dustin uttered lowly yet resolutely.

Larry again? Puzzled, Joan sized the two people standing before her up. Maybe I can get someinformation about this Larry from these two here today.

"Who's Larry, and where is he now?”

Abelyn sighed over Joan's words. The two people who once loved each other most have nowbecome strangers inadvertently.

“Larry is your ex-husband. You got divorced accidentally for some reason, but you two wereextremely lovey-dovey,” Dustin quickly explained.

Hold on, this is nothing like what Della told me the other day. Which of them is lying? In thatinstance, Joan was lost. She didn't know whom she could trust, and neither was she confident thatshe would recover her past memories

After much deliberation, she resorted to giving in. No matter what happened in the past, I'mcontented now, at the very least. That's all that matters. Besides, Jake has sacrificed a lot for me.The three of them continued chatting for a little longer, but still, Dustin and Abelyn couldn’tmanage to persuade Joan. Their failure to do so disheartened them greatly.

It took them substantial effort to finally replace the woman, and regrettably, she had lost her memory.Shaking her head, Abelyn heaved a sigh, looking very peeved.

“Should we tell Larry about this?” she asked Dustin.

“Let's wait a little longer.” The man squinted as he looked up at the gloomy sky above him, fallinginto deep contemplation. His concern was very simple. In view of Joan losing all her memories, shehad totally no impression of Larry whatsoever. If Larry intervened in the matter at that juncture, itwould only complicate things further.

And that wasn't what Dustin had intended.

“Then what should we do?” Abelyn asked softly.

What else can we do? We can only wait.

Meanwhile, Joan was lying on the sofa in the living room again, waiting for someone to returnhome. It was unbeknown to her how much time had passed when Jake finally came home.

“Two people came to see me today,” she told Jake. Flipping through a magazine, Joan didn't reallypay any attention to it, instead, she couldn't help glancing at Jake from time to time, observing hisexpression.

And then? What's she trying to say? Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jake took off his coat."Jake, did I know someone by the name of Larry before this?” she asked all of a sudden.

Jake was startled at that particular instant, but he reverted to his usual composure very quickly."What are you talking about? Larry is my friend, so of course you know him. It has been quite sometime since the two of you last met each other, though.”

Is that so? Still, Joan had a gut feeling that it wasn't as simple as what the man before her said."Alright, don’t think so much about such irrelevant things. You should get some rest,” Jake said ashe helped her to the bedroom.

The woman lay in bed all night, tossing and turning around, but she couldn't seem to fall asleep.She was preoccupied with the name “Larry.’ This had happened before — more than once or twiceSomething very significant must have happened. I just can't remember it...

She curled up in bed and clenched her fists tightly, looking exceedingly dejected. She was perturbedby the chances of her overlooking something crucial due to her loss of memory.
