Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2806

A Confession

The sinister look on his face left her unsettled. I thought he hated me? Doesn't he loathe me all along?

"Jake, are you trying to take revenge on me? Fine, bring it on," she said rudely.

She thinks that I'm getting back at her? Jake sneered. Can't she tell that I'm confessing my feelings to her? What a dumb woman! He was raging deep inside. "Say it, what do you want?" Joan asked directly as she took a seat on the sofa.

Jake stared deep into her eyes. He had missed her so much and did not want his beloved to be found by Jessica.

"What's your plan? To hide here forever?" taking a sip of his coffee, he muttered.

What's wrong with that? What's it got to do with him? Joan glared at him and then ignored his presence totally.

"Come with me," he requested wholeheartedly.

Joan wavered at his words.

What does he mean by that? Intrigued, she fixed her eyes on him.

He's made my life a living hell in the past, now he's begging me to return with him? Did he get up from the wrong side of the bed or did he forget his medication? "No," Joan answered resolutely.

Upon hearing her firm reply, Jake started to get nervous.

How do I explain everything to her? Where should I begin? What can I do to make her feel my love, to let her know that my feelings are true?

Moments later, Jake got up and approached Joan. He gently stroked her hair while gazing at her affectionately.

Joan was dumbstruck by the surprising act demonstrated by the man.

Is he... molesting me?

Smack! Out of a sudden, a tight slap landed on Jake's face, making him stunned. Did she slap me?

"Jake, you should know that I'm not an easy target. Ditch all of your dirty thoughts!" she fulminated.

So, that's what she thinks of me? Lowering his head, he felt completely dejected. Will she acknowledge and believe my feelings for her are real only if I confess directly? "I love you, Joan."

His unexpected confession sent a shiver down her spine. He must be out of his mind!

Grabbing her handbag, Joan wanted to leave at once, but Jake pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Trust me, Joan, I really love you. Stay with me and be my girlfriend, okay?" Gentleness and sincerity laced in his tone.

She could feel the warmth from his body and even hear his thumping heartbeat.

It took her quite a while before she finally reacted.

"What a jerk! Let go of me, Jake. Now!" Joan scowled at him defiantly as she yelled and beat him on his shoulders.

She did not expect him to be so rough to her, yet he was not willing to release her.

"Listen, Joan, I'll explain everything to you. Give me a chance to do that, all right?" he begged.

What's there to explain? She refused to listen and continued struggling to wriggle out of his embrace, but to no avail.

In the end, she could no longer contain herself and broke down into tears.

She was too terrified!

She could not accept that the heartless man who had previously tormented her was now hugging her, making a bold confession. How absurd!

I want to go home! I want to see Larry! I don't want to stay here!

"Larry..."

." she murmured as she cried.
