Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2858
“Unfortunately, I have no idea when and where their wedding will take place,” added Nancy.
My worst nightmare is coming true! An evil glow flashed past Larry’s eyes.
At that moment, Joan was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the wedding photos that she had just taken. She was a little out of it. Jake is the one in the photos, but why is the blurry figure of another man occupying my mind now?
Joan knocked her own head hard to try to clear her mind. My fiancé is Jake Wilson! She tried to reaffirm her thoughts as she gripped the wedding photos.
Jake was in the backyard and had witnessed everything that happened in the living room. He slowly approached Joan and held her tightly in his arms. Anxiety was burning wilder and wilder in his heart. He felt as if Joan was dry sand in his hand, and the tighter he tried to hold on to her, the quicker she was slipping away from him.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwell?” asked Jake softly as he rested beside her.
“Huh? Oh, it’s just a headache. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine after I’ve rested,” answered Joan with a smile. Unfortunately, her smile looked ever so fake and forced.
Headache? That is not a good sign! Jake’s guard was instantly up. A menacing aura showed on his face as he thought, Did she recall something?
“Talk to me, Joan. Did you recall something?” asked Jake carefully as he scrutinized the woman in front of him.
Why is he suddenly so worried? Joan tilted her head and looked into his eyes. She was suspicious. Is he scared of me regaining my memory?
“Jake, I think I’m remembering a guy called Larry,” answered Joan. She was deliberately being vague because she wanted to see how the man in front of her would react.
She was right. Jake panicked when he heard that name, and the anxiety was killing him. How will this wedding move on if she remembers who Larry is? No, wait, is she testing the waters? Why does she look so alert?
Jake quickly adjusted his stance and revert to his usual composure.
