Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2844
At this point, Larry’s mind was filled with Joan’s image. Where are you now, Joan? He let out a sigh, looking utterly dejected.
After being all lovey-dovey with Caspian, Jessica walked toward Larry and shot him a serious look.
“What now?” Larry flipped through a file and asked.
Jessica put on a wry smile and hesitated for a moment. Though Abelyn had told her not to tell Larry about Joan, Jessica felt he might have a solution to the problem.
“There’s something I want to tell you, but…” Jessica paused for a moment. The awkwardness she felt was written all over her face.
All of a sudden, Larry slammed the file he was reading through on the table, raised his head, and looked up at her with a scowl.
What’s wrong with her? This is not how a steady businessperson should behave! He crossed his arms and waited for Jessica to complete her sentence.
Jessica took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to give him an update.
“Abelyn said she found Joan, but Joan has lost her memory. She doesn’t remember anyone of us here, including you. And she’s dating Jake now,” Jessica kept her eyes shut and delivered the news in one breath.
Larry stood up right away and grabbed her shoulders.
He shook her body and asked in agitation, “What did you say? Joan is still alive? She lost her memory?”
Jessica’s eyes started brimming with tears as the pressure Larry exerted on her shoulders had caused her to be in so much pain. Upon noticing what he had done, he gradually released Jessica, hoping she could tell him more about Joan.
I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing by telling him about her…Â Jessica did not know what to do anymore. She knew the news about Joan would cause Larry to lose his cool.
Of course, the way Larry reacted was not an unexpected reaction, but Jessica was afraid that he might take it out on Jake, who had become his replacement.
“Calm down, Larry. Listen to me first,” Jessica said.
“Quick! Tell me!” Larry could no longer contain his emotions.
“Stop it, Larry!” Jessica roared and brought him to the couch. Only when the man looked more composed did she begin to explain everything to him.
“I’m going to look for Jake right now!” Larry made the decision after hearing what she said.
In a flash, Jessica grabbed hold of him and stopped him from leaving. Acting impulsively at this point would only cause more harm than good. What if Larry pisses Joan off, and she decides to marry Jake right away?
“Can you please calm down? Since Joan has lost her memory, we have to plan our move carefully!” Jessica finally managed to knock some sense into his head.
Larry froze by the door and went deep in thought. She’s right. Joan doesn’t remember me anymore. How can I expect her to leave Jake and come back to me? Larry went back to his seat, feeling utterly crestfallen.
At least he managed to regain his composure and not act impulsively after knowing everything about Joan.
“What? Have you gone mad? How could you tell Jessica about it?” Dustin reprimanded Abelyn in the living hall.
Abelyn sat on the couch and fidgeted with her hands. On one hand, she began to question herself for telling Jessica about Joan. On the other, she was mad at Dustin for screaming at her. So what if Jessica knows about it? She hasn’t done anything overboard, and she even promised that she wouldn’t tell Larry about it.
“Sooner or later, Larry will find out about Joan from Jessica. Can you imagine what Larry would do if he loses his mind?” Dustin raised his voice.
Clearly, Abelyn had not thought of that. She believed Larry was not an impetuous person. Besides, even if the man found out about Joan, she believed Jessica would do her best to stop him from doing stupid things.
