The reason was that she simply couldn't stop worrying about that small family of three leaving for a city so far away.
Plus, she was used to seeing her grandchild every day. Hence, she was bothered by the thought of not being able to see him anymore for a long time and didn't know what to do if she missed him next time.
It was only after much persuasion by Larry and Joan that Vivian finally accepted the fact without crying.
After saying farewell to both Finnick and Vivian, the couple got in the car and headed straight for Wildefield.
Nancy and Caspian were already in the car. They just had to accompany Larry and Joan for such a major event as Joan resumed her studies in Wildefield.
Apart from that, due to the long journey to Wildefield, Caspian had another task— to take turns driving with Larry.
The trip was a merry one with all of them enjoying themselves, talking and laughing along the way.
A new life was about to begin as they waved their previous life goodbye.
Throughout the way, Joan was exceedingly gleeful at the thought that she would be experiencing student life again very soon. She was even a little nervous.
“Larry, all my course mates would be younger than me by five to six years. Would they ridicule me because of that?” Joan asked Larry a little
anxiously.
She was no longer the naive young girl she once was, and not only was she married, but she also had her own child already. What if my new course mates are judgmental about me? What should I do?
“Rest assured. You look just like before, and you won't look older than the other young girls even if you stand together with them. Plus, it's really common nowadays to have college students who were married and had kids. I'm sure they won't judge you differently just because of that. Don't you worry.”
