Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 2919

Chapter 2919

Naturally, Larry couldn't blame Jessica or question her intention. She was trying to protect Joan, who was living alone. She finally told him the truth so he could watch over the latter discreetly. "Jessica, you've grown" he murmured and patted her on the head.

However, his compliment offended her.

"Larry, promise me you won't divulge Joan's whereabouts to another soul, Jessica said bluntly.

She didn't want to be called a traitor.

Yet, little did she know that Joan had told Abelyn.

"Don't worry."

He flashed a smile as he left the office.

A look of relief crossed his features.

Larry headed to the address given by Jessica and found it effortlessly.

Joan, why are you doing this? You know that hiding wouldn't solve anything.

Meanwhile, Joan stood in the courtyard as she breathed in the fresh air.

Days like these relaxed her and suited her best.

I wonder how they are doing now.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when the image of Larry filled her head.

Lately, she had been pondering over their relationship, but there didn't seem to be a solution.

However, her current life was quieter and less chaotic than before.

From a distance, Larry was debating with himself about Joan's reaction in his car.

It was natural for him to prioritize her feelings since she was the love of his love.

He wanted to knock on the door so badly to see her, but he couldn't muster the courage.

The sight of him might disgust her.

Knock...

Knock...

Knock...

Mm? Who could it be? An old lady was knocking on Joan's door.

Larry widened his eyes to see who it was.

"Clara! What brings you here?"

Joan opened the door hurriedly and greeted her neighbor.

"Here, I've baked a cake.Would you like some?"

Ever since she moved in, Clara would stop by to chit-chat or share some home-cooked foods.

The kind elderly was doing it at Jessica's request.

"How is it? Does it taste good?"

Joan nodded in response.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Clara smiled.

"Joan, why are you living here alone? Are you single?" she asked tentatively.

Am I still a married woman? It was a complicated question for Joan.

"Yeah, I don't have a boyfriend."

For some reason, Larry's face popped up in her mind again.

Clara was very much excited by her answer. She thought the young woman was perfect for her son who had never had a girlfriend.

"Tell me, what is your ideal type of boyfriend?"

Ideal type? Joan fell into a deep thought.

Indeed, she had never really thought about her expectations of a man before.

She believed in true love and destiny, just like what she saw between Jessica and Caspian.

"Hmm...Well, I never thought about it." she replied awkwardly.
