Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2696

Joan Steals The Show

Her answer would undoubtedly be Larry, but that was what she said before.

Jake was well prepared. He felt that the possibility of Joan choosing him was greater than ever. Unless she wanted Larry to go broke.

Back at the ward, Joan lay on the hospital bed with a convincing look of pain on her face.

“Ouch, it hurts! It really hurts! Please be gentle!”

Her acting was first rate.

Abelyn and Brayden felt guilty at the sight of her. Brayden hung his head low and did not dare meet Joan’s eyes.

“Joan, how are you feeling now? Do you want me to summon the doctor?” Abelyn asked in concern, looking conflicted.

“No need, I’m fine now.” Joan waved her hand and answered feebly.

“It’s Brayden, is it?” Joan looked at him with a weak smile.

Brayden looked up at once with guilt in his eyes.

“Yes, that’s me. I’m really sorry…”

Wow, he was capable of an apology! Abelyn turned to stare at Brayden in amazement. Is he really going to turn over a new leaf? Or is he putting on a show of remorse? Abelyn doubted.

“Brayden, you are a man! You must be responsible for your actions and be willing to let go when the time is right. Abelyn is a great girl, and she deserves a man who truly loves her…”

Joan exaggerated her speech on purpose.

“I know. I used to be an *sshole and did not treasure Abelyn. But I regret that now. I can’t live without her…”

That’s utter nonsense! Abelyn rolled her eyes at Brayden but said nothing.
