Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2858
“Unfortunately, I have no idea when and where their wedding will take place,” added Nancy.
My worst nightmare is coming true! An evil glow flashed past Larry’s eyes.
At that moment, Joan was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the wedding photos that she had just taken. She was a little out of it. Jake is the one in the photos, but why is the blurry figure of another man occupying my mind now?
Joan knocked her own head hard to try to clear her mind. My fiancé is Jake Wilson! She tried to reaffirm her thoughts as she gripped the wedding photos.
Jake was in the backyard and had witnessed everything that happened in the living room. He slowly approached Joan and held her tightly in his arms. Anxiety was burning wilder and wilder in his heart. He felt as if Joan was dry sand in his hand, and the tighter he tried to hold on to her, the quicker she was slipping away from him.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwell?” asked Jake softly as he rested beside her.
“Huh? Oh, it’s just a headache. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine after I’ve rested,” answered Joan with a smile. Unfortunately, her smile looked ever so fake and forced.
Headache? That is not a good sign! Jake’s guard was instantly up. A menacing aura showed on his face as he thought, Did she recall something?
“Talk to me, Joan. Did you recall something?” asked Jake carefully as he scrutinized the woman in front of him.
Why is he suddenly so worried? Joan tilted her head and looked into his eyes. She was suspicious. Is he scared of me regaining my memory?
“Jake, I think I’m remembering a guy called Larry,” answered Joan. She was deliberately being vague because she wanted to see how the man in front of her would react.
She was right. Jake panicked when he heard that name, and the anxiety was killing him. How will this wedding move on if she remembers who Larry is? No, wait, is she testing the waters? Why does she look so alert?
Jake quickly adjusted his stance and revert to his usual composure.
“Looks like your memory is returning slowly. That’s good. I believe that there will come a day when you remember everything, including our past together,” lied Jake.
Our past? Joan turned around and stopped facing him. Did we really have a pleasant past together?
“Alright, Joan. We should get our wedding invitation ready,” reminded Jake as he stroked her back.
Oh, he’s right. We should start sending those wedding invitations out. I wonder if Jake will send Larry an invitation. Joan got lost in her thoughts as she stared at Jake’s back.
Naturally, Jake planned on inviting Larry to the wedding. I want him to suffer and watch as the woman he loves marries another man! Jake looked out the window and seemed somewhat indifferent.
There is nothing more painful than watching the woman you love marry someone else.
“Everything is ready, Mr. Wilson,” reported a housemaid with her head down. Jake waved his hand to dismiss her before he walked to Joan and held her hand to lead her to the study.
“Joan, let’s fill in our guests’ names ourselves,” suggested Jake in a whisper.
Joan turned quiet before nodding. The only name that came to her mind was Larry.
The so-called guests, however, would not be attending their wedding that would be held overseas. They were simply invited to the wedding reception to be held in the country.
Joan seemed focused as she carefully wrote the guests’ names on the invitation cards.
“Jake,” called out Joan all of a sudden.
Jake put his pen down right away and turned to her before asking, “What is it? Are you unwell?”
“Uh, I was just thinking. Should we send an invitation to the people who came looking for me earlier?” asked Joan carefully. For some unknown reason, she was a little scared about it.
