Caspian was right. Instead of sneaking away, he might as well solve the problem and leave freely. However, his biggest headache was that Della had no intention of letting him off.
“Larry, I didn't expect you to be so charismatic,” Caspian teased.
Larry shot a glare at him but said nothing.
The next day, Della didn't show up in Larry's ward, which seemed rather strange. Under normal circumstances, that woman would definitely come and question them. Yet, she was nowhere to be seen.
“Larry, why is Ms. Duff not here today?” Caspian asked curiously.
Larry answered, “I have no idea.” He couldn't care less about it. In fact, it was good news to him, for he need not waste his energy and effort to deal with that woman.
“Didn't you call Jessica?” he asked casually while flipping through the newspaper.
“No,” Caspian answered.
Larry continued asking, “Why?”
In a firm voice, Caspian uttered, “Because I wanted to make her realize how much she loves
I „ me!
Well, well, dear Caspian is playing hard to get.As it turns out, it is not a woman's privilege to use their scheming little mind to get their crush.Men are comparable to women when it comes to getting their crush's attention.
“What if she runs away?” Larry asked, serving as a kind reminder.
“She won't! Jessica is not that kind of person!”
Larry was unhappy to stay in the ward under Della's supervision. He had asked her several times to remove the bodyguards, who were guarding outside the ward, yet the latter rejected him.
That day, Larry had had enough. “Della Duff, you've gone too far!” he bellowed.
Me? Going too far?He's mad at me just because I refused to remove the bodyguards? Disregarding his anger, Della let out a chuckle. She then walked toward the man lying on the bed in a coquettish manner.
Before Larry had even realized it, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, “Larry, you seriously have not realized how much
I like you and how nice I am to you?”
