Chapter 3055
"What are the two of you talking about?" Dustin walked over right then.
"Oh, Larry is planning to propose to Joan"
Jessica informed in a hushed voice.
Abelyn shot a furtive glance at Dustin, but did not find anything out of the ordinary.She initially thought that the man she loved would be heartbroken upon hearing this news, but that wasn't the case.
It truly seemed like he no longer had romantic feelings for Joan.She smiled in relief.
"Really? That's good news! Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Dustin accused and smacked Jessica on the arm.
"Ow! Dustin, what the hell? Don't forget your wifey is here, so you better be careful where you put your hands! Why do you always hit me so hard anyway? You do know that I'm a woman, right?" Jessica complained.
"A woman? Are you really?"
Dustin mumbled nonchalantly.
Jessica's hackles rose at that and she snapped, "You jerk! Stay right there! Abelyn, shouldn't you teach your man some manners? Did you hear what he just said about me?"
Abelyn lips curled into an amused smile upon witnessing this scene.She knew that it was only a childish banter between Dustin and Jessica, so she didn't try to stop them.
Henceforth, Jessica, Abelyn, Dustin, and a few others worked together to set up the venue at the beach, waiting for that day the come.
In the office, Joan lifted her head to look at Larry from a distance away and queried, "Hey, why haven't I seen Jessica around lately?"
"Oh, she's busy" Larry replied calmly.
Busy?Busy with what?With the bookstore?That's impossible. I've never seen her this busy before.I haven't seen her for a few days in a row now.
That girl didn't get into any trouble, did she? Joan pursed her lips in apprehension.I have to find out what's going on.
If she’s really in deep trouble, I have to step in before the situation gets out of hand.
She knew Jessica best.
With that, Jessica ended the call before Joan could respond.
Since when has this girl been so impatient?! wasn't even done yet but she just hung up on me.
With a smile playing on his lips, Larry watched the entire exchange in silence.
Joan turned to face Larry and asked, "How is Caspian lately? Has he resolved matters with that girl?"
Why does she keep asking about them? Putting down the document in his hand, Larry gracefully got to his feet and walked toward the sofa.
"Why do you keep worrying about others? Shouldn't you be focusing more on us?" he said gently while caressing Joan's hair.
Us?What about us? Joan looked at him in bewilderment, wondering what had gotten Into him.
"What about us?"
"Joan, even now, do you still not remember anything?"
Larry's serious gaze coupled with his question stunned Joan.
