You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1642

Chapter 1642: Not Disbanding the Feast

"I'm leaving tomorrow," Chris announced, "so after tonight, I have to say goodbye to everyone for the time being. I have been out for too long and need to go back to Alvonia."

Luther nodded slightly. "Thank you for your support during this time. If you ever need help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

Juanita's voice choked with emotion. "So tonight is actually a farewell dinner?"

Karl gently patted Juanita. "Why call it a farewell dinner? That sounds so negative. The Capital is not far from Khebury, so we can meet up anytime."

"It's not the same. When we're all together, we can easily make plans to eat together, but when we're apart and busy with our own lives, we gradually grow apart. Otherwise, we could all go to Khebury together." Juanita wiped away tears and held back her emotions. "You can still go back to being a detective. After all, we all used to be in Khebury."

Joyce comforted her. "Juanita, I will come back to see you often. Don't forget that my parents are in the Capital. Karl is now the dean of the House of Inspection. How can you let him go back to being a detective?"

"What's wrong with that? I don't want to be the leader of this association either. Besides, back then he returned to the Capital and joined the Special Investigation Department because of you..." Juanita stopped halfway through her sentence.

Luther looked away uncomfortably. Indeed, Karl had returned to the Capital alone to search for clues because of his feelings for Joyce. Four years had passed in a flash. Now that the case was finally solved, they had to part ways.

Karl stiffened. He looked at Joyce, and his gaze betrayed some reluctance. "Do you really have to go?"

He thought Joyce would stay in the Capital, after all, the Heath family and their military power had deep roots here. He glanced at Luther again, and it seemed that Joyce had already chosen Luther and decided to return to Khebury.

Joyce nodded.

Karl pursed his lips and smiled. "I respect your decision."

Joyce looked at Juanita. "Juanita, the Gregory family and the Sanchez family are both in the Capital. Although you both left for Khebury, the Capital is still your home. Now everything is back in its place. You are married and about to have a child. You have your own life now. All good things must come to an end. I'm happy for you all today, and I'm not really keen on getting too involved in your lives, especially with the danger that comes with it. Both you and Karl have brushed with death before, all because of me. Fortunately, everything is over now. I don't want to involve you in any more trouble. Juanita, we will always be good friends. That won't change."

Juanita finally couldn't hold back her tears.

The atmosphere of parting infected Nina, who had been holding back her tears for days. She thought of Chris leaving tomorrow and finally let her tears fall.

Chris saw this and pulled her close. "They're saying goodbye, why are you crying?"

"Sorry," Nina quickly wiped away her tears.

Chris glanced at Nina. He was leaving, yet she didn't seem too upset. He didn't know if she was hiding it too well or if she really wasn't affected. Were her tears just for him? This woman's appearance, with tears in her eyes, really made him feel sorry for her.

After the sadness passed, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, and there was more laughter and chatter.
