Joan then gave Delilah a puzzled look.
“When are the both of you going to remarry?” Delilah suddenly added.
“Pfft!” Joan spewed her food out immediately.
“Erm, I'm sorry.” She quickly wiped her mouth with her napkin.
“Are you alright?” Larry asked at once.
“I'm fine,” Joan replied.
“Joan, what are you so nervous about?” Without even turning her head, Delilah asked as she ate.
“Huh? Erm, I'm not. I just happened to choke,”
Joan replied awkwardly.
She being self-conscious. Delilah sneered.
She had once thought that Joan was a lady with principles, a good wife, and a wonderful mother. But reality had shown her otherwise.
“Next time, you had better be more careful. It would be a disgrace if you were found out,” Delilah commented with a strange tone.
In response, Joan felt a sense of dread.
Can it be that she has found out about me and Dustin? She gave Delilah a wary look.
Throughout the dinner, Joan felt on edge as she considered whether to tell Larry and Delilah the truth. However, she still didn't have the courage to do so.
Back in her room, she lay on her bed, tossing and turning around while feeling troubled.
Crack. The door to her room gently opened.
After glancing at Joan, Larry crept up to the bed. Looking at her face with a smile, he crawled into bed and hugged her to sleep.
Despite the familiar scent and touch, why do I feel such confusion? Joan closed her eyes while trying hard to relax.
