What a stubborn woman. Della glanced at her briefly before resuming her work.
To her, it was perfectly alright for her to pursue Larry as he hadn't remarried Joan yet.
“What are you arguing about again?” Caspian chided as he walked in. “Jessica, can you stop picking on Ms. Duff? She has just regained consciousness."
“No!” Jessica spun on her heels bellowed without hesitation.
Scum, did he just side with an outsider? Jessica glared at him as fury overcame her.
Caspian belatedly realized she was upset after seeing her face contorted in anger.
“Alright, alright. You're right.” Caspian dashed over to her and gave her a comforting hug before pressing a gentle kiss on her hair.
Of course, Della ignored their entire exchange.
She worked for quite a while before she shut her tablet and closed her eyes to rest.
It was still early when Larry rushed back home so he could get to see Joan.
“Why are you back so early?” Delilah greeted him with a yawn.
“To change clothes.” Larry scurried into his bedroom after saying that.
Alas, Joan was nowhere to be seen.
“Ms. Young, where is Joan?” he changed his clothes and asked.
“Mm?” Delilah seemed confused. “She came back last night.”
She added, “Oh, she must've left early this morning."
Larry glanced at his watch. It was barely 7 a.m. yet, and the weather was chilly. Why did Joan go to work this early?
He walked out of the living room hastily. “Goodbye!”
“Hey, you haven't had your breakfast!” Delilah shouted behind him.
“I'm not eating!”
Larry drove straight to the photography studio.
For some reason, he missed Joan so much and couldn't wait to see her right now.
