Chapter 2932

As soon as Clara said those words, Johann was stunned.

It was true that he had deliberately told Clara everything to see if her impression of Joan would change, but he now realized that he was the one who had been overthinking after seeing his mother's reaction. With that, he felt a weight lifted off his chest.

In truth, he had a crush on Joan but was not courageous enough to confess.

They were practically still strangers, after all.

"Tell me, son. You have feelings for Joan, don't you?"

Clara quipped as she tugged on the corners of his shirt.

"Must you be that blunt, Mom?"

Johann blushed.

Oh my.

He still gets shy even at this age.

Well, now we just have to wait for Joan to agree.

My son is handsome, has a great personality, outstanding, and overall, just perfect. There's no way she'll reject him.

With that thought in mind, Clara stared at Joan's villa with a satisfied smile.

Back in Joan's house, the woman in question suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Achoo!" That's weird.

Is someone talking about me? She sniffled as she rubbed her nose, feeling a bit uneasy.

Right then, her phone suddenly rang, and Jessica's name flashed across the screen.

"Hello, Joan.Have you been doing okay lately? How's everything at home?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry" she replied.

She had been taking good care of herself.

From time to time, she would also hang out with Clara.

However, there were times where she would replace herself missing Larry.

"Joan, I need to tell you something. You should be wary of Johann.I have a feeling that he has an ulterior motive for approaching you." Jessica seemed like she was just gossiping, but her voice carried a hint of seriousness.

What motive could he have when we barely know each other? Joan scoffed.

"Stop making wild guesses. We're only neighbors and nothing more"

Is that so? Despite Joan's answer, Jessica still felt uneasy.

Ever since her first meeting with Johann in Joan's villa, she had sensed something was off, but she kept it to herself.

"Who are you talking to?" Larry appeared out of nowhere.

For some reason, when Joan heard his voice, her heart started racing, and her cheeks began to blush.

"Um, I need to go now. I'll talk to you later"

uttered Jessica before ending the call.

Staring at the phone in her hand, Joan felt a bit disappointed.

Meanwhile, Jessica held Larry's arm and asked, "What are you doing here, Larry?"

To inquire about Joan, of course.

Bearing that thought in mind, Larry took a seat.

"You haven't been making a fuss in my office lately. It feels odd"

Is he trying to say that I'm only normal if I make a ruckus at Norton Corporation every day? Am I really such a wilful person in his eyes? Jessica shot Larry a side-eye before pouting unhappily. Surely, visiting me couldn't be the sole reason he's here. She then studied the man curiously.

Aha! He must be here to ask about Joan! Upon the realization, Jessica questioned on purpose, "What brings you here, Larry?"

The man cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Um, how is Joan recently?" he asked softly.

Just as ! figured.

"Come again? I didn't hear you."

This brat! She's definitely doing this on purpose! "I said, how is Joan?"

Larry raised his voice.

Jessica was satisfied at the volume of his voice.

Now that's the attitude I'm looking for! There's no need to be bashful when you're concerned about someone.

"Oh, Joan?"
