Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2854
Joan knew all too well that it didn’t matter if they were married or not. Jake would never hurt her. Hence, in a way, marrying the man in front of her was a smart choice.
The only shortcoming was that she couldn’t love Jake, but he didn’t seem to care about that. That’s right. All Jake cared about was owning Joan. He wanted her to spend the rest of her life with him.
“Come, try this on. I think it suits you well,” said Jake as he handed a wedding gown to her.
Joan was stunned for a moment when she held the wedding gown. She later turned around and entered the changing room.
The white wedding gown, her stunning complexion… Everything looked simple yet elegant, and when she left the changing room, Jake was flabbergasted.
That was Joan Watts, the woman who was going to be the most beautiful bride and his wife.
Jake clenched his fists to try to calm his nervous feeling.
“What do you think? Is it good?” asked Joan after she turned around to face him.
“Y-yeah, it’s great. I-it’s perfect,” replied Jake quickly.
Joan couldn’t help giggling when she saw him stuttering like that. Still, she felt a little sorrowful deep down.
“Let’s go have our photos taken now,” suggested Jake. He held her arms and walked out of there immediately after.
Everyone was stunned when the two of them exited after changing their clothes.
“Oh, my gosh! You two are such a beautiful couple. You’re gonna get everyone jealous,” said the owner loudly and exaggeratedly, “What are you guys standing around for? Quick. Let’s start shooting.”
The workers instantly started working away.
Jake nodded satisfactorily at the owner.
“Mr. Wilson, Ms. Watts, is there anything else you need? Please feel free to ask me,” informed the owner politely.
“No, we’re fine. Just go ahead with your work,” replied Joan immediately while shaking her hands. She was quick to reject his offer because she simply couldn’t stand the owner constantly buttering her up like that.
Ah-choo!
Larry suddenly sneezed while inside his office. What’s going on? Did I catch a cold? Larry stood up and stretched a little.
Bang! Nancy barged into the room at that moment.
“Larry, we have to come up with something quick,” said Nancy. Her voice carried a hint of worry when she spoke. What will Larry do if Joan marries Jake? What about the love between Joan and Larry? Nancy paced around in the office and was a little angry.
“She suddenly went missing that day, and the problem is that we have no idea where she is now,” said Larry before sighing deeply. He looked frustrated. If I know where she is, I will take her away without hesitation.
“Maybe she has returned to the country?” guessed Nancy.
“That is not likely,” replied Larry softly while shaking his head. Jake mentioned that she left the country to clear her mind, and she would need more than just a few days to do that. What got Larry stumped, however, was why Jake was being so generous. Why would he let Joan go overseas on her own to clear her mind?
Larry didn’t know that Jake actually secretly sent someone to keep Joan safe.
The atmosphere in the room started to turn stuffy.
At that moment, on the other side of the street, Jessica and Abelyn were tailing and spying on Jake. Unfortunately, they were both tricked.
Jake knew that they would be following him around, so he loaned his car to his assistant.
“What’s going on? Why did he park the car in that neighborhood?” asked Abelyn after scanning the surroundings.
This neighborhood is designed for the common folks, so why…
f*ck! He tricked us! Abelyn stomped her foot angrily as she glared at Jake’s assistant, who was standing some distance away.
Jessica remained seated in the car. She still hadn’t figured out what had happened out there.
“Let’s go,” said Abelyn as soon as she got into the car.
“Huh? Where are we going? We should keep tailing Jake,” refuted Jessica right away to stop Abelyn from leaving.
