Chapter 2936
The next morning, there was the sound of knocking at the door again.
Joan clutched her blanket tightly in fear for she thought that it was the same troublemaker from last night.
"Open up, Joan.It's me, Clara"
At that moment, Clara shouted.
When Joan heard that it was her neighbor, she immediately got up and went to open the door.
Clara asked with concern, "Are you alright? I saw someone knocking on your door last night"
"Oh, Clara."
Finally, Joan couldn't contain her emotions any longer.
With tears running down her cheeks, she hugged Clara tightly and started to sob.
I can't hold it in anymore.I!'ve just put an end to a painful event and pulled myself together.
And now I have to deal with some inexplicable things that are happening to me.
"There, there...dry your eyes.Let's go in and have a talk"
With that, Clara shut the door immediately.
When they were in the living room, Clara comforted her, "Don't be afraid.That person may have been knocking on the wrong door’ ls that so?If only it's that simple.Joan smiled awkwardly and kept quiet.However, it became an opportunity for Clara to start a conversation with an intended topic.
"Have you ever thought of getting yourself a boyfriend, Joan? Someone who can protect you and take care of you? With a boyfriend, you don't have to live alone"
For some reason, her head was filled with images of Larry when she heard that.
Could it be that I've fallen in love with Larry? Joan shook her head, trying hard to clear her thought.
Huh?Is she serious?Why is she shaking her head?Doesn't she want a boyfriend?She already has a boyfriend? Clara immediately became suspicious.
"That's not what I have in mind at the moment; Joan tactfully rejected.How could she be involved in a new relationship when she's in the midst of sorting out her life? It had been so long since she tried to forget about Larry.
