Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2853

Jake didn’t go to work on the following day.

“Why aren’t you in the office?” asked Joan as she walked down the stairs.

“Because we’re getting our wedding photos taken today,” replied Jake happily.

The wedding photos? Why didn’t he tell me about it? Joan instinctively backed away two steps, and Jake caught her reaction immediately.

“Hurry and have your breakfast. We’ll be late if you don’t,” said Jake while deliberately acting like he didn’t see anything.

“Uh, Jake, i-isn’t this moving a little too fast? I-I’m not prepared,” replied Joan hesitantly.

“Why bother delaying? Besides, you don’t need to prepare anything,” replied Jake before he sipped his milk in the dining room.

Joan suddenly felt estranged from everything in front of her, and that included Jake.

“How about we just go some other day?” asked Joan carefully as she stared at the man in front of her.

Jake put his cutleries down and wiped his lips. His expression remained calm when he said, “I’ve already made an appointment with them. It’s not really appropriate for us to go back on our words now, is it?”

His eyes shone with determination, and for some unknown reason, Joan suddenly felt scared. Should I really marry him? Slowly but surely, Joan started to hesitate.

Jake stood up when he saw how scared she was. He walked slowly to her and held her hand tightly. It was as if he was scared of her fleeing.

“What’s wrong? Do you regret your decisions and want to back out?” asked Jake. His eyes shone with immense suspicion at that moment.

“No!” replied Joan immediately while shaking her head.

How could I go back on my words when he loves me that much?

In the end, the two of them went to the studio to have their wedding photos taken.

Joan was staring at her phone when the car was parked beside the entrance of the studio. She refused to get out of the car, even though it had been parked for a while. Jake scanned the woman in front of him and waited for her.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you over so you can try out the wedding gowns,” said Jake as he led her away.

“Ah…” blurted Joan. She wanted to speak up, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

What beautiful gowns… thought Joan. She stared at the wedding gowns that the owner had put away for her and grinned instinctively. It was as if she had forgotten about how she was about to marry Jake.

Larry would love me in gowns like that, thought Joan as her eyes glowed.

Wow, wait! Why did I suddenly think of the name ‘Larry’? Joan shook her head right away to try to clear her mind. I must have gone nuts! Why am I thinking about a stranger at a time like this?

Joan quickly turned around to force herself to calm down.

“What’s wrong?” asked Jake sweetly before he slowly pulled her into his arms.

“I’m fine,” answered Joan uncertainly. If Jake finds out that I was thinking about Larry, he would nag me again. Gah, forget it. I’ll just do as Jake asked.
