Chapter 3025

"Let go of me! Let go of me first!" she yelled as she patted him on the back.

Let go of you? No way!Why would I easily let go given how hard it was to seize this opportunity? The man sneered and glowered at the same time. Forget it.

Didn't you feel like crying just now? I'll let you cry all you want! She wanted to see how long he could cry.

Just like that, the man hugged Joan and continued crying while Joan stopped comforting him.

This is strange.

Why isn't she saying anything? The man's sobs gradually toned down and suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

"I'm sorry that I lost my composure.I just couldn't control my emotions when I saw you just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have struck up a conversation with you," the man sobbed in reply while sniffling his nose. Joan gave him the side-eye as her expression darkened.

She still believed him when he claimed to have lost his girlfriend and needed some comfort.

But, after he hugged her and alleged that she looked like his girlfriend, she realized the man couldn't be trusted.

There's no way such a coincidence would exist in this world.

"I'm sorry, I need to go home. My husband is waiting for me"

Joan remarked on purpose before getting up and preparing to leave.

"Can we have a meal together? As a way for me to say goodbye to her?"

What?A meal?Goodbye?What's wrong with you?if you want to say goodbye, you should visit her grave instead! Why do you need to tell me that? Besides, there's no reason for two strangers to dine together. "I'm sorry, but I'm running short on time. Hence, I need to go."

Just as she spoke, Joan turned to leave.

When the man saw how determined she was, he ran ahead of her and blocked her way.

"Let's have a meal together, I beg of you," the man pleaded as he dropped to his knees. Joan was stunned by his reaction as she had not encountered such a situation before. "Alright, alright. Get up first. I'll eat with you. Get up quickly."

Just as she spoke, Joan helped the man up.

Suddenly, the man became extremely excited.

Given how sad he was just a moment ago, his reaction raised Joan's suspicions that he was being hypocritical.

However, since she had agreed to his request, she had no choice but to keep her word.

After collecting herself, she went to a nearby restaurant with the man.

"What would you like to eat?" he ask with a hopeful gaze.

"I...I'll just have a coffee.

Actually, I'm not hungry; Joan quickly replied with a smile.

She knew it paid to be prudent when eating with a stranger.

Not to mention that she felt the man had a greater agenda than he was letting on.

Perhaps, he might do something after this.

Holding to that thought, Joan became vigilant and asked on purpose, "You seemed to have had a good relationship with your girlfriend" Suddenly, the man was stunned as he didn't expect Joan to inquire on her own accord.

Nevertheless, he was excellent at lying.

Despite that, Joan believed that there would definitely be a flaw in his lie.

"Mmm-hmm.We did enjoy a wonderful relationship together.If not for the accident, we would have been married" the man explained as he ate. He looked as if he was enjoying his food.

Under normal circumstances, a man in his situation wouldn't have the mood to enjoy anything.

When she saw how nonchalant he was, Joan grew more certain of her suspicion.

I just can't believe this man! But what is he trying to achieve by doing this? Joan fell deep into thought.

There obviously isn't any bad blood between us.

In fact, we haven't even met each other before.

However, why is he repeatedly trying to deceive me?What does he have to gain by obtaining my sympathy?Is he trying to cheat my money?
