Chapter 2935

Larry shook his head to indicate no.

However, it did not mean that Della had nothing to do with the person behind it.

To be fair, many strange things had happened within the year.

"How much more longer do you want me to wait?" Abelyn sounded rather anxious on the phone.

Della smiled coldly before putting the phone in speaker mode.

"Why are you so anxious? Don't worry. You'll have your wish soon. And it's better to take things slowly. Patience is the key.I have to say, sometimes you are quite impulsive, Abelyn. I'll remind you again, make all the necessary preparations and leave a way out for yourself. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. Not even Dustin."

Having said that, Della hung up the phone.

Abelyn stared at the phone in her hand as she gritted her teeth.

"What's the matter, Abelyn?" Dustin asked softly when he came over and hugged her tightly from behind.

"Oh, nothing.Um...is dinner ready? I'm hungry"

Abelyn immediately turned around and asked as she placed a hand on her stomach.

"Come with me. Dinner is ready."

As he spoke, he reached out and took her hand, and then he led her to the dining room.

Abelyn was taken aback when she saw the lavish spread on the dining table.

Why is there so much food on the table? She eyed him suspiciously, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Dustin asked softly as he hooked a finger under her chin.

Today? She titled her head and thought for a while.

But she still couldn't figure out what day was it today.

"It's our tenth anniversary of knowing each other, silly"

Dustin tapped her forehead lightly as he teased her with a sense of affection in his eyes.

Just then, a smile spread across Abelyn's face. She did not even expect a man like Dustin to remember their tenth anniversary.

Abelyn instantly became overjoyed.

She leaned into his arms and said affectionately, "Thank you for all of these, Dustin"

"As long as we're both safe and healthy, that's all I ask for," Dustin murmured and kissed her forehead.

A pang of guilt shot through her heart. She couldn't get rid of the hatred she had for Joan, but she couldn't tell that to the man in front of her either. I'm sorry, Dustin. But it was Joan who betrayed me first. She deserves what's coming to her.

Meanwhile, Joan was lying on the bed and staring blankly at the moon outside of her window.

A smile played on her lips as she thought of Larry.

I wonder what's he doing right now, is he staring at the moon too? Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She sprang up and immediately put herself on guard.

Who could it be at this time of night? Just when she got up to open the door, a thought crept into her mind, and she lay back down in bed again.

That can't be right.

Jessica had made a pact with me to call me before she was to come over.

And in my earlier conversation with Clara, she told me that she will only look for me during the day.

So who's that knocking at the door? If it's neither Jessica nor Clara, then could that be Johann? That's impossible.

Johann is a man of principles. He wouldn't come and look for me at this hour.

It's possible that the person at the door has bad intentions.

As the pounding on the door became more fervent, Joan grew more frightened.

She picked up the phone next to her and scrolled through the contact list for Jessica's number.

Staring at Jessica's number, she hesitated to dial it.

"What's all the ruckus? I'm trying to sleep here!"

It's Clara's voice! Her eyes lit up with expectation at the sound of the woman's voice.

After that, the sound of incessant knocking stopped. But by then, Joan had difficulty going back to sleep.
