Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2812

Joan tried to endure it all for Faye's sake.

Smack! She could no longer tolerate his inappropriate actions and landed a tight slap on his face. His cheek turned red in an instant.

"You're such a scumbag, Jake! How could you do this to Faye?" Joan rebuked him with resentment.

Why does such a jerk exist in this world? It's not been long since Faye's death and he's already moving on to the next target. They're so crazy in love.

She shot him a death stare.

"No!" Jake retorted loudly.

"I've always loved you! My love for you has never changed one bit. The episode with Faye was just a side-track. Nonetheless, you could only see Larry in your eyes and ignored my existence. You even chased me away when all I wanted was to stay with you. Faye was just one of the useful chess pieces."

Finally, Jake confessed it all. At one point, he had the impression that the person he loved the most was Faye. Hence, he wanted to take revenge on Joan after Faye's passing. However, his heart ached so badly when he saw Joan injured and crying.

Love is a wonderful thing that comes and goes without us knowing.

Upon hearing what he said, Joan shook her head in disbelief, refusing to accept the ugly truth. He must have been mistaken; the person he loved should have been Faye!

Joan attempted to convince herself, but she was no longer able to accept any other men into her heart.

"Listen to me, Jake, I'll pretend that I heard nothing, okay? Faye was your most loved woman, your one and only," she regurgitated as she grabbed onto his arm.

Without realizing, Jake accidentally flung her against the wall.

She tried to get up slowly.

"Joan, you heard it correctly. Those were exactly my thoughts and feelings," he said under his breath, sniffling.

Sadness flashed across Joan's eyes. There're many strange occurrences in the world, why do I have to encounter one? While having a conniption, she swore not to accept Jake's love at all costs. Taking one last glance at the man, she turned to leave.

"Don't go, I beg you to please be my girlfriend." Jake's gentle tone contrasted with his vice-like grip on her wrist. However, love was not always reciprocated. For some unfortunates, they had to deal with unrequited love that had turned into something bitter and mean.

Without any reservation, she pried his arm away and walked off.

"Do you want to see Ms. Young and Lucius getting involved in a car accident?"

His callous words sounded so eerie that they made Joan fret with trepidation.

His obstinate determination to get what he wants is atrocious!

No, I can't keep going on like this, being manipulated and controlled by him. I don't want to be his puppet!

She clenched her hands tightly as she made a resolute decision to contact Larry.

After putting up a night at the villa, Jake sent her home.

Dead air filled the car throughout the journey. Joan had her face turned sideways, looking out of the window indifferently. Jake observed her emotions carefully, but was unable to read her mind.

It's true when people say a woman's heart is incomprehensible. Looking at the person sitting next to him, his mind was all over the place.

The car soon pulled over by the quiet beach.

Only the soothing sound of the waves crashing on the shore was heard, creating a tranquil ambiance. Jessica was long gone...

Joan sighed at her forlorn attempt to escape.

I shouldn't have called this man. It would have been perfect if I had followed Jessica back to see Larry.

"What's the matter? Regretted your decision? Let me be honest with you, Jessica won't be able to get to you even if you didn't call me," Jake said confidently while beating his chest.
