Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3059

Chapter 3059

Do any of these idiots even use their brains to do things? Jake ran his fingers through his hair his in frustration.

Suddenly, an idea hit him and he instructed frantically, "Go get someone new to drive past there."

He wanted nothing more than for Larry to suffer, but he couldn't bear to see Joan getting hurt.

"Hey, are you two okay?"

Not far away, a man waved at them and asked loudly.

"Our car engine died. Can you give us a ride?" Joan answered instantly.

"Sure.Hop in" the man replied without missing a beat.

Huh?He agreed, just like that? Larry eyed the man suspiciously as doubt filled him.

Something doesn't feel right.

Why would someone pass by this side of town in the middle of the night? "Thank goodness you happened to pass by!"

Joan smiled courteously at the man.

"Yes, it's really a coincidence; he replied.I highly doubt that. Larry continued scrutinizing the man, trying to figure him out. Then, he deliberately tested him.

"Are you here on some errands? We wouldn't want to impose on you."

"You're not. Don't worry.I am currently on my way back after handling some matters. It's truly a coincidence that I chanced upon you both. Perhaps it's God's will' the man immediately countered.

Is that so?Who even comes to such a remote place to handle matters? Sensing the awkwardness, Joan quickly expressed her gratitude. "Well, thank you for the ride."

"Why do I get the feeling that something was off?"

Joan wondered aloud in the living room.

Next to her, Larry chuckled as he gazed at her affectionately.

She's only just realizing that something felt off? Larry had long since found it odd, even more so when the man left without wasting a second after dropping them home, probably because he was afraid he would accidentally slip up.

"Do you think someone sabotaged us on purpose?"

Joan looked at Larry worriedly.

That's an understatement.

And if I guessed it right, the one behind this probably didn't want Joan to suffer or get hurt.

And who else could've done something like this besides Jake? In the past, Dustin would have been Larry's most eligible suspect, but he already had Abelyn.

Naturally, he wouldn't get his hands dirty like that.

Hence, that only left Jake.

Suddenly, Joan's eyes lit up with trepidation.

Oh no.

Could Jake be behind this? She clutched Larry's arm and said anxiously, "Jake isn't up to something again, is he?"

Perceiving the panic lining her features, Larry jerked her into his arms and kissed her forehead with a smile.

So what if he is?/'ll face every problem head-on instead of running from them.

No matter what tricks Jake has up his sleeves, I'll make sure to protect Joan to the utmost of my ability.

"Don't worry.I won't let you get hurt; he said determinedly.

Joan furrowed her brows.

Why does he make me sound like I'm such a scaredy-cat? "I'm not scared of getting hurt. I'm just scared that he's out to get you."

Although it had taken her a long time, Joan still managed to figure it out.

Jake doesn't want to hurt me.

Larry is his target.

I have to stop all of this!Since when did Jake become so petty?! can't believe he wants revenge! Joan grew restless the more she thought about it.

"Are you worried about me?" Larry played with her hair and asked in a gentle voice.

Well, isn't it obvious?How can I not worry?What am I going to do if something were to happen to him one day?! can't live without him! "Alright, alright. Don't worry I'll be fine.I promise, okay? Now, now. Let's wipe that sad look off your face, hmm?"

Larry quickly stroked her back to comfort her.
