Larry's mind warned him against looking for Joan again. She hurt me and heartlessly abandoned me. I have no reason whatsoever to go to her.
Anyone who had been hurt would not do the same thing that hurt them in the first place.
However, his heart kept yearning for her. It told him that he loved her so, so much. It didn't matter what Joan did to him in the past. He was convinced that she didn't have a choice.
Larry had been troubled by that issue for days, but he decided to follow his heart after debating endlessly with himself.
Since I'm still in love with her, I should just go all out.
With that thought in mind, Larry drove his car and hurried over to the office where Joan worked. She should be clocking off any minute now. Larry wanted to treat her to a meal and take the opportunity to talk to her. Maybe we can clear out all the misunderstandings or something.
Larry lit up a cigarette as he waited in his car. He was bored because Joan hadn't shown up yet.
When he finally saw Joan's figure, energy surged through his body, and he jumped a little. He extinguished the cigarette and was ready to head over right away.
However, before he could, he paused. Wait, Joan's not alone. She's walking with another man!
“Dustin, what cuisine would you like to have?” asked Joan as she swiped on her phone.
“You decide. I'm good with anything,” replied Dustin with a grin.
“It's not safe to walk while checking your phone. Let me guide you,” offered Dustin.
After saying that, he held Joan's arm to guide her. Joan wasn't bothered by his gesture. She even smiled sweetly at him.
The two of them chatted happily as they walked down the street. Larry, on the other hand, was burning with fury as he sat in his car.
The way Joan interacts with that man makes them seem like a couple!
Larry almost lost control of himself upon coming to that conclusion. He was so angry that it felt like his rage would soon burn away all of his sanity.
He didn't spare any time to consider the situation. Stepping on the gas, Larry zipped his car toward the two adults immediately after.
Joan and Dustin were discussing where they might eat when they heard a noise behind them and instinctively turned around only to see a car speeding toward them.
“Dustin, watch out!”
Joan shrieked to warn Dustin.
