“Then, how are you feeling right now?” Delilah asked.
What does that mean? Everything's perfectly fine! Without saying a word, Joan turned around and went into the house after picking up a pot beside her.
“Joan!” An irritating voice came calling out to her at the door.
As soon as she turned around, Delilah just looked at her, astonished. “Are you two still in contact?”
No way! He's the one that keeps pestering me.
“Ms. Young, Joan, I'm here to help.” Caiden hurried over and carried a flower pot towards the house.
“Caiden. Be honest. Why are you here?” Joan was straight to the point.
“Nothing much. I just thought I'd drop by for a visit.”
“I remember telling you not to visit me ever again,” Joan continued, making Caiden feel out of sorts.
He was not expecting such a cold reaction from her after not seeing each other for so long.
“Caiden,” Delilah intervened. “What Joan is trying to say is—as a man, you should be putting more attention into your business.”
She knew that Caiden was a nice guy. He merely fell in love with the wrong woman. She understood that Joan was only treating him so harshly because she wanted him to give up on her completely.
“I know, and I've been working hard,” Caiden answered.
Truth be told, he had been working extremely hard. He had sacrificed his free time on doing research, persevering through all obstacles, and even gave up his traveling plans. All that happened because he was motivated by the woman standing in front of him.
Caiden wanted to prove to her that he could stand his ground when he was being compared with Larry. In fact, he wanted to show her that he was better than Larry.
“I heard that Dustin has left the country,” he suddenly brought it up.
