Joan was stumped for a moment before she suddenly felt so happy that she couldn't quite breathe.
Oh my God, I didn't even dare dream of this, yet it has come true today!
“Forget it if you won't be my girlfriend.”
Upon seeing that Joan wasn't saying anything, Larry thought that she wanted to turn him down, so he spun around dejectedly to leave.
“I do!” Joan hastily blurted.
After all, how could she turn him down when this was something she wanted more than anything else?
All at once, Larry promptly whirled around in surprise. As he did so, he wore a wide smile on his face.
“Here, this basketball is for you. It was my birthday present from my father, and there's Kobe's signature on it!”
He handed the basketball in his hands to Joan.
With astonishment written all over her face, Joan took the basketball.
Is this my first gift from him? Undeniably, this gift is truly unique.
After getting together, Larry and Joan soon fell deeply in love to the point of no return. As for everything that happened later, well, that was already common knowledge.
As they both snapped back to reality at the same time, they laughed in concert as nostalgia teemed in their eyes.
“Regretfully, Kobe has already retired, so you won't get to see him play basketball anymore,” Joan lamented with dismay.
“It's okay. As long as you're by my side, it no longer matters where we go and who we see,” Larry insisted smilingly.
At that, a wealth of warmth enveloped Joan.
“Let's go! This is our last stop, so let's wander around. We'll see what's delicious and fun here!”
Taking Joan's hand, Larry started walking fo rwa rd.
At the mention of food, Joan's eyes lit up.
“Sure, sure! Let's go and see what's delicious here!” she urged.
