Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2877
“So you’d rather leave me to be heartbroken?” Jake asked sorrowfully. Joan was aghast at his terrifying countenance at the moment. As he bit his lips hard to suppress the burning rage within himself, there was even abhorrence in his eyes.
Joan Watts, if you really opt for Larry today, I want you to be regretful for the choice you make today for the rest of your life!
Da*n it! How did Larry Norton know about this place?
“Jake, don’t waste your time and effort anymore. Just accept the fact that she doesn’t love you. If she really loves you, she wouldn’t be in hesitation. What’s the point of shackling both of you in a marriage without love?” Larry yelled apprehensively.
Even though Joan had not regained her memories, at least he was sure that she did not love Jake. That was already a great comfort for him.
Joan’s eyes were welled up with tears and she was seconds away from an emotional breakdown.
She shut her eyes in weariness. It was as if she was torn apart by two different forces. Part of her was urging herself to escape from Jake, whereas the other part of her was reminding her of his sacrifices for her. If she opted for freedom, she would be an ungrateful person. Now, she was in a daze, not knowing which she should choose.
“Joan, wake up! Have you forgotten about what he had done to you previously? Do you still remember Faye? He even thought of murdering you because of her!” Jessica yelled out at her in agitation.
The moment Jessica mentioned Faye’s name, Joan shuddered as she was overcome by a sharp pain in her chest.
Ouch!
She clutched her chest tightly, hoping that the excruciating pain would subside. Who is Faye? Why did my heart start to throb the moment I heard about her name?
She seems to have forgotten about Faye as well! Ah! Since she has forgotten about me, for sure she can’t recall others as well. Looking intently at the woman standing not far away from him, Larry’s heart was filled with indescribable desperation. How he wished he could leave at once with Joan; yet, he did not dare to act impulsively.
“Jake, I’m terribly sorry. Even so, we can still be friends, right?” Joan grabbed hold of Jake’s arm and asked sincerely.
Friends? So I’m just a normal friend to her? I believe she is aware of my intense affection toward her all this while. Why is she being hypocritical by asking this question again?
