Stop Arguing

What a stubborn woman. Della glanced at her briefly before resuming her work.

To her, it was perfectly alright for her to pursue Larry as he hadn’t remarried Joan yet.

“What are you arguing about again?” Caspian chided as he walked in. “Jessica, can you stop picking on Ms. Duff? She has just regained consciousness.”

“No!” Jessica spun on her heels bellowed without hesitation.

Scum, did he just side with an outsider? Jessica glared at him as fury overcame her.

Caspian belatedly realized she was upset after seeing her face contorted in anger.

“Alright, alright. You’re right.” Caspian dashed over to her and gave her a comforting hug before pressing a gentle kiss on her hair.

Of course, Della ignored their entire exchange.

She worked for quite a while before she shut her tablet and closed her eyes to rest.

It was still early when Larry rushed back home so he could get to see Joan.

“Why are you back so early?” Delilah greeted him with a yawn.

“To change clothes.” Larry scurried into his bedroom after saying that.

Alas, Joan was nowhere to be seen.

“Ms. Young, where is Joan?” he changed his clothes and asked.

“Mm?” Delilah seemed confused. “She came back last night.”

She added, “Oh, she must’ve left early this morning.”

Larry glanced at his watch. It was barely 7 a.m. yet, and the weather was chilly. Why did Joan go to work this early?

He walked out of the living room hastily. “Goodbye!”

“Hey, you haven’t had your breakfast!” Delilah shouted behind him.

“I’m not eating!”

Larry drove straight to the photography studio.

For some reason, he missed Joan so much and couldn’t wait to see her right now.

Unfortunately, what he saw next got him stunned.

“Joan, have you made up your mind?” Jake queried coolly.

“Mm, I did,” came Joan’s curt reply.

Jake pressed on. “So?”

Joan answered determinedly. “It’s a no.”

Very well. How dare she reject me! Women would line up to gain my attention, but she rejected me though her decision might affect Norton Corporation’s survival.

“Are you sure?” Jake urged.

“Yes, I’m sure,” Joan answered in all seriousness.

Jake was about to leave when he saw Larry’s reflection through the mirror in front of him.

Immediately, he changed his mind. “Joan!” he shouted.

Flashing an evil smirk, he flung his arms around Joan and pulled her into his arms.

From afar, Larry’s rage pounded in him like a drumbeat at the sight that greeted him.

“Jake Wilson! What are you doing? Get your hands off me!” Joan demanded as she tried to pry his hands off her.

“Don’t you know what I’m doing?” Jake whispered next to her ear. “Let me tell you. You will never get rid of me!”

Is he crazy! Faye had just passed on!

“Jake, Faye won’t forgive you if she finds out what you’ve been doing!”

“Faye? She’s dead because of you!” Jake returned icily.

Joan immediately stopped struggling at his remark. She felt helpless for he was right.

Seeing her reaction, Larry’s temper heightened as he stalked away without even looking back.

Jake watched Larry stormed away before he released Joan.

“Why? Are you upset? You deserve it!” With that, he spun on his heels and sauntered away.

Joan had no idea what happened. As Faye’s death surfaced in her mind, she stood rooted to the spot blankly.

Spotting her still rooted to the spot, Abigail hurried over. “Joan, are you alright?”
