Chapter 2901

Larry felt uneasy at the great amount of trust that Joan had for Abelyn.

This meant that it would be easy for Abelyn to harm her.No.I can't let that happen! I have to keeptrack of Abelyn’s every move.

Naturally, Della knew what Larry was thinking and she already had a plan for it.She knew that hewould be suspicious, so she did not order Abelyn to make any move yet.

"Do you feel better?” Dustin asked in a gentle tone as he gently stroked Abelyn's hair.

Staring at the man before her, she let her tears flow freely as she felt comfortable being vulnerablein front of him.

Dustin pulled her into his embrace and kept comforting her.

"It's okay.It's over now.Stop thinking about it, and don't worry about a thing.I'll protect you from anyharm, Dustin consoled, his heart aching for her.

Over? Hmph!There’s no way this is over! I would never forgive her nor would I let her off!

"Dustin, if what you said was true, what would you do if Joan tries to harm me one day?" Abelynasked to test his reaction.She wanted to replace out if she was more important to him than Joan.Dustin fell into deep thought as he stared at her.

Silly girl! Why would she ask that? Her position in his heart had definitely surpassed Joan.

"You silly girl. What kind of question is that? Here, drink some water to soothe your throat.Your voicesounds kind of hoarse."

Dustin passed a cup of water to her.

Abelyn was disappointed at his reaction.

I guess I still lost to Joan, huh.

She took a sip of water and let out a soft sigh.

"Abelyn!""

Just then, Joan appeared suddenly with a bouquet of flowers and some fruits.

"Joan, you're here.Take a seat"

Dustin greeted.

Seeing how passionate Dustin was greeting Joan, Abelyn turned her back at them as a flash ofdisappointment flickered in her eyes.

She uttered gloomily, "I'm tired.I'll take a nap."

Joan kept silent as she could tell that Abelyn was jealous.

"How is she? Is she feeling better?" Joan asked Dustin softly.

"Yeah.She's doing well.Don't worry," Dustin replied.

Doing well? I am obviously not feeling well at all! A wave of fury surged within Abelyn upon hearingtheir conversation.

Meanwhile, as Joan and Dustin stared at Abelyn in silence, the atmosphere soon turned awkward.After some time, Abelyn woke up from her nap.

In truth, however, she did not actually sleep.She only did it to avoid interacting with Joan.

"You're awake? Do you want some water? The weather is pretty dry lately.”

Joan poured her a cup of water.

Strangely, Abelyn felt touched that Joan waited for her to wake up.

Stop!How could I forget what she had done? Abelyn pinched her thigh to shake off any goodthoughts she had about Joan.

After a few light exchanges, Abelyn got her to leave.

Joan was slightly disappointed by that, but Dustin failed to notice it because he was too focused oncaring for Abelyn.

On her way back, Joan kept her head down and wondered about Abelyn's change in behavior.

Is she angry at me? Clenching her fists, she felt anxious.

"Joan!"

Suddenly, a man's voice that sounded familiar rang out behind her.

Joan was stunned.She turned around, and her face tensed up when she saw that it was Jake.

"I've finally found you!" He rushed forward to grab her arm.

"Jake, I'm sorry..."

Joan stuttered, unsure of what to say.
