Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 2902

Chapter 2902

Sorry?Sorry meant nothing without any actions. That was not what Jake wanted to hear from Joan. He was determined to bring her away that day.

"Come on. You're coming back with me!" Jake started dragging her.

Panicking, Joan was at a loss of what to do.

Just then, Larry appeared.

"What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"

With a forceful tug, Larry pulled Joan into his embrace.

Weirdly, Joan felt secure with him.

"Why? Are you're here to snatch her away from me?"

Jake shouted as he adjusted his tie.

Larry narrowed his eyes at him.

There was no need for any snatching.

"Joan, you need to make a choice now. Who are you leaving with?" Jake asked in a threatening tone.

Obviously, Joan wanted to leave with Larry.

But...

Joan was in a dilemma.

One of them was her life savior, while the other was someone she felt safe with.

"I-I..."

Joan stuttered.

She was unsure of whom to choose.

Larry tightened his grip on her waist and whispered, "Don't be scared, I'm here."

Eventually, Joan made a choice. She lifted her head to look him in the eyes and said, "Larry, I have some things I need to clarify with him."

Although Larry understood Joan's intention, he was still worried that she would get hurt.

After all, Jake was not someone who would let a person who betrayed him off easily.

"Are you sure?" Larry asked, feeling worried.

Joan nodded in response.

Larry released his grip and decided to trust her.

"Let's go, Jake."

Joan walked toward Jake.

Ha! Larry still lost to me.

Jake was gloating within.

Larry slowly turned away, for he could not bear to witness someone he loved leaving with another guy.

Joan and Jake returned to the villa that they used to live in.

"How is it? Doesn't it feel familiar?"

Jake wrapped his arms around Joan from the back.

He held on even though she struggled.

The place did feel familiar to Joan.

However, she felt that their relationship had drifted apart.

Jake, I told you that I don't feel that way toward you.I only see you as my friend now.

So why are you still hung up on it? Joan sighed.

His persistence would only push her further away until, in the end, they might not even be friends anymore.

Her face turned gloomy at that thought.

"Joan, you've finally returned! I'll prepare a grand wedding for you. This time, I want the whole world to know that you're my wife!" Jake said softly in her ears. Joan looked out the window with a stoic expression. She had no intention of marrying him.

"After we get married, we'll have a bunch of kids; he continued.

"Jake!"

Joan exclaimed as she could not hold it in any longer.

"I don't love you, and I don't want to marry you."

Her words triggered the anger within him.

He could not believe that she did not feel the same, especially after he had loved her for such a long time.

Could it be that Larry talk bad about me behind my back? Jake's gaze turned sharp and cold.

"I'm sorry, Jake. But let's just be friends."

Joan felt helpless, for she knew that he would never agree to break up with her.

Jake looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath, displeasure evident in his expression.

Over at the office, Jessica exclaimed, "Larry, are you crazy? How could you let Joan leave with that b*stard?"
