Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 2903

Chapter 2903

Larry knew that only Joan herself could solve the issue she had with Jake.

Pulling himself together, he continued working and typing away.

Staring at his nonchalant face, Jessica threw a fit.

"Larry! Hurry and get Joan back now!"

What on earth is he thinking? His beloved woman left with another man. How can he still keep working? Bang! Assertively, Jessica slammed her palm on Larry's desk.

"Stop it came Larry's impassive reply. How can I not be anxious? I yearn to take Joan home more than anyone else. But I know her very well. Since she has made a decision, she'll never change her mind easily. "I'll go if you don't!"

Jessica turned around and marched out of the office.

"Jessica!"

Larry chased after her at once.

Jessica hit the gas and sped all the way till her car pulled over in front of Jake's villa.

Knock! Knock! Knock! She pounded on the door.

Joan's heart was in her mouth the second she heard the sound.

Is it someone sent by Larry? Glancing at the door, she appeared troubled.

"Miss, who are you looking for?" a housemaid asked politely after opening the door.

"Move!"

Jessica shoved the maid away and stormed into the villa.

Looking around, she yelled, "Jake! Come out this instant, you jerk! Give Joan back to me!"

It was only then the housemaid figured out that Jessica was up to no good.

"Miss, you're not welcome here. Please leave."

With that, the housemaid scooped her up and flung her out the door.

When Larry arrived, Jessica was still on the ground, rubbing her aching butt.

Hurriedly, Caspian picked her up in his arms and marched toward the car.

"Why are you always so impetuous? Look at you, you just got kicked out by someone else," he grumbled, knocking her gently on the head.

I did it for Joan's sake! With her lips pouted, displeasure was written all over her face.

Glancing at the villa pensively, Larry dared not barge in.

After lingering around for a long while, he went home.

Soon, the sky turned dark, and the moon hung in the sky.

In the bedroom, Larry tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Should I give Joan a call? Taking his phone from the bedside table, he scrolled through his contact list and found the familiar number, hesitating for some time.

In the end, he gave up. He was afraid that the call might provoke Jake.

Even more so, he feared that the man would hurt Joan.

After what seemed like decades, he eventually closed his eyes.

The following day, Jake didn't leave the villa for work.

On the bed, Joan gradually opened her eyes and stretched herself.

Her expression seemed languid yet forlorn.

She washed up briefly before heading downstairs.

The moment she saw Jake, she was stunned for a second.

Why didn't he go to the office? Lifting his head, Jake greeted her.

"You're awake."

"Yeah. Why didn't you go to work?" she asked.

"Didn't we agree yesterday that I'm going to hold a wedding for you again? We need to send out the invitations today! Jake answered while working on something. Sure enough, there was a thick stack of invitation cards by his side.

Has he lost his mind? Have I not made myself clear yesterday? Joan was fuming with rage.

"I don't need it! I told you I won't marry you!" she snarled at the man on the couch.

Jake gave her a side-eye before getting back to his work.

That's not up to her! The wedding must go on as planned.

I want Larry to know that Joan is now mine!

"Jake, I've made myself very clear. Why do you insist on doing this?" she protested and stomped over to his side.

I hate it the most when someone forces me to do what I'm unwilling to!
