He knew that Delilah was capable of taking care of him. However, losing Joan would mean losing all sense of excitement and fun in life.

“Then, you have to come back as soon as the event ends tomorrow.”

Joan’s heart was shaken upon seeing Caiden’s somewhat coquettish expression and the way he pouted his lips.

Larry, we’ll talk about it in the future.

She wanted to explain to Larry so badly, but did not have the time to do so.

When Delilah entered the ward, Joan was nowhere to be seen. There was only a dejected Caiden sitting on the bed, looking out the window.

It was true that Lucius had an event organized in school, which Delilah did not inform Joan beforehand.

“Mom, will you accompany me to the school event tomorrow?” Lucius asked softly while burying his head in Joan’s embrace.

“Yes, I’m going to school with you tomorrow, all right?” Joan replied as she gently pinched his cheek.

“Sure! I called Dad just now, but he said he won’t be free.” A tinge of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Oh yes, Larry hasn’t been home for a few days already. I wonder how he is right now and if the matters at his company are handled well.

Meanwhile, only Larry’s office at the Norton Corporation was still brightly lit. He was sitting on the sofa with his fingers typing on the keyboard non-stop, looking extremely busy.

Jessica was waiting for him to get off work impatiently.

“Mr. Norton, do you know what time it is? Shouldn’t you be going home?” Jessica muttered.

“I’m not going home tonight because I still have a lot of pending work. You can go ahead and have dinner,” Larry answered.

Why is he so busy? Jessica approached him and leaned forward. There was something unusual about her gaze.

She draped her arms on Larry’s shoulders. “Are you feeling very tired lately? Is it because of the incident with the manufacturer?”

Sensing a strange atmosphere in the office, the man rose to his feet and pried her off.

“I repeat, Ms. Zimmer, we’re just friends and it’s impossible for us to develop anything beyond that line. I’m a family man and you know that very well. As for my wife, I’m certain that she will tell me what she did as soon as I get home. It’s getting late, so you’d better go.” Larry continued working after making himself clear.

He’s such a stubborn man with no fun. Had it been any other men, they wouldn’t be able to resist me. I didn’t ask for his commitment, so why is he so uptight?

“Mr. Norton, I don’t intend to wreck your family. We can be friends with benefits and gratify each other’s needs, don’t you think so?” Jessica winked at him.

This is an interesting perspective. Squinting his eyes, that woman had successfully piqued Larry’s interest. Then, what are her needs?

“What do you want exactly?” he asked directly.

Jessica was completely stunned as the question came like a bolt from the blue.

It seems like he’s not as smart as I think he is. Isn’t it obvious from my gesture? Or is he just feigning ignorance?

Actually, Larry knew what Jessica was suggesting, but he wanted to confirm his speculation as he could not believe that her thought process was bordered on the absurd.

“I want you. I just want you.” As she spoke, Jessica hugged Larry tightly from behind and heaved a breath into his ear.

She sure has some guts! Larry scoffed.

He had met many outrageous personalities, but only one as bizarre as Jessica. It was the first time a peculiar character like her appeared before him.

“Jessica, can you tell me the reason why you bring me breakfast every single morning?” Larry turned around and looked at her attentively.
