Why is she sprouting nonsense all of a sudden? Joan felt provoked by her words.
The ambiance at the dinner was ruined. Within half an hour, they finished eating and went on their separate ways.
“Ms. Watts, let me send you home,” a man ran over to her.
“It's okay. I'll hail a cab.” She turned around and strode away.
In the meantime, the drunk female staff was still grumbling about Joan while wobbling away.
Some distance away, a black car pulled over by the roadside, waiting for the woman who was sauntering toward it.
A penny for your thought?” Unexpectedly, Larry came into her sight.
Why did you come here?” the woman asked in astonishment.
“I feel worried that you're going home alone late at night.”
Pausing briefly, he held her hand and asked, “Why? Are you unhappy with this?”
“Larry, when I was with Dustin, did you feel heartbroken?” she asked suddenly.
Is that even a question? No man is willing to see his loved one be together with another man. The man nodded in agreement.
“But he has recuperated, so he no longer needs you,” he muttered.
Soon, the two arrived home.
“Has something gone wrong at the photography studio?” Larry asked directly.
“Yeah, but it's okay. I've lodged a police report,” Joan answered gradually.
“Why didn't you tell me?” he questioned.
“It's just a small matter,” the woman replied.
Glancing at her confident face, Larry remained silent.
After the pre-wedding photos were damaged, Larry and Joan had been occupied with work each day, so none of them suggested taking the photos again. But Delilah was running out of patience.
“What are the two of you thinking? We've found a suitable venue and booked the hotel. Why do you want to cancel the wedding all of a sudden?” she protested with displeasure.
