“So what if that's the case? Have you forgotten all those times you fell out with your family for Joan's sake?” Larry rebutted.
Caiden was speechless. He could not refute the fact that he had committed many ridiculous things for Joan. I guess I have no right to criticize Larry...
Since their conversation was not going anywhere, Caiden left the building for home. He needed to tell Keith about this.
“What'd you say? Larry didn't budge? That stubborn brat! He's not even concerned about his company anymore,” said Keith.
Like you're one to complain. Things only escalated this way because you instigated the fight. Of course, Caiden kept his thoughts to
himself and simply looked silently at his father.
All right, I got it! We'll talk about this some other time.” With that, Keith went back upstairs.
He couldn't be bothered to talk more about this topic since Larry had already made his decision.
“All right, don't worry about this too much. Just leave this matter to your dad.” Olivia patted Caiden's shoulders.
Back at home, Joan was pruning the plants in the yard.
Delilah called out to her, “Joan, take a break. I don't want you to tire yourself out.” It had been a few days since she came home. They decided to put the past behind them and were interacting normally again.
“Don't worry, Ms. Young. I feel fine!”
The day went by in a flash. Joan spent the majority of her time in the yard with Delilah. Later that evening, Larry came home.
Joan enquired, “I heard you terminated the collaboration with the Owens family, is that true?” She looked firmly at Larry with a serious expression.
“Yes,” was Larry's simply reply.
“Why'd you do that?” Joan probed further.
“No particular reason. I just didn't want to work with them anymore.”
