Chapter 3081

She had already heard about Joan losing her memory, which was why she was willing to run all the way over here to do something so embarrassing. They're not wrong. It's right to let things go.

After all, I'm not the type of person to hold a grudge anyway.

"Just tell us what you want now. As you can see, we are genuinely quite busy; Joan said.

The women in front of them were clearly taken aback for a second before rearranging their features back to a normal expression.

"How about you two finish up whatever you need to and meet us for dinner later? We'll wait for you."

It seemed as though it would be hard for Joan to refuse such a request.

After all, it was perfectly reasonable.

Should I answer? Joan's gaze was full of confusion as she tugged Delilah's shirt lightly. She had no recollection of these people standing before her, let alone the details of whatever they said or did to her. "Tomorrow, alright? We'll go tomorrow. We're really too busy today, Delilah said loudly after glancing at Joan. That was enough for the others and they finally left.

Right after that, Delilah told Joan everything that happened between them last time and warned her to be careful.

"Joan, those people aren't as simple as they seem. You really should look out,"

Delilah said as she looked at Joan worriedly.

Joan frowned.

What exactly did they want from me back then? She placed the gardening tools down and took a sip of her tea as she fell into deep thought.

Larry had recently been flooded with work, so Joan decided not to tell him about it.

"Joan, should we tell Larry about this?" Delilah asked quietly.

"I think we should keep it between us for now. He's so busy, I wouldn't want to distract him," Joan answered.

As a woman, Delilah perfectly understood Joan's concerns and didn't force her.

They attended the outing together.

After the two of them arrived, the other women started treating their arrival a little too enthusiastically.

"You're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Yeah. We were starting to think you guys weren't coming"

"We're glad you're here. Please take a seat."

They started bustling about as if they were terrified of angering either Joan or Delilah.

Delilah knew exactly why they were reacting the way they were. She held on tightly to Joan's small hand, unwilling to let go.

"What's going on, Ms. Young? Why are you holding onto Joan so tightly? She can't eat if you're grabbing her hand like that; one of the women said snarkily. Joan lightly patted Delilah's hand with a smile, indicating that it was okay for her to let go.

The others started nagging and gossiping almost immediately.

Ever since Joan had decided to attend the meal, she had already prepared herself for the relentless chatter.

She was fine eating or drinking with them, but they could chat about anything for all Joan cared.

As long as they didn't start gossiping about herself, she was perfectly content just enjoying her food.

She was being cautious against these people after all.

The other people couldn't help but stare helplessly at Joan, who was simply keeping her head low and focusing on her food.

"What do we do? Why is she so quiet? Did she just come for the food?" one of the younger women at the entrance of the private room asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry. Let's take it easy" another woman immediately replied.

"Joan, are you done? If you're still hungry, we can order some more; that woman asked after entering the room.

Since she offered, Joan wasn't going to turn her down.

"Alright, then I'd like some ribs next. The salmon sounds good too."
