Abelyn stood in front of Joan and looked at her with a determined and sincere gaze, as if encouraging her not to give up on Larry.
As compared to Abelyn, Joan was relatively more rational.
Previously, Caspian had already filled her in on some of the issues which Norton Corporation was facing. As such, she did not find it surprising that Larry would choose to marry Della for the future of the company.
“From now onward, please don't mention Larry or Della in front of me,” Joan said and walked out of the house.
What does that mean?Has she really given up on Larry?Seriously? Abelyn stared at Joan dubiously as the woman walked away, feeling perplexed.
“Joan, I hope you won't regret your decision!” Abelyn shouted after her friend worriedly. She also wanted to remind Joan once more to reconsider her decision carefully.
Larry needed a partner who could help him with his career, and Joan believed that Della was that woman for him.
Joan used to think that Larry had fallen in love with someone else. However, she understood everything after knowing of the difficulties Norton Corporation was facing.
Perhaps, it was really time for her to let go.
Joan gazed upwards at the sky silently in an attempt to force her tears back into her eyes.
“What do you think Joan is thinking?” Back in the living room, Abelyn asked Dustin, still feeling confused.
“No idea,” Dustin replied calmly.
Strange, why does he not seem worried at all? Abelyn wondered as she stared at the man.
“Aren't you going out to look for her?” Abelyn asked softly while nudging Dustin's arm
“Let her take some time alone to think,” Dustin replied. After saying that, he stood up and left.
Why are the two of them acting as if nothing happened?What's going on?Why am I the only one worrying here?
“You should stop worrying as well. Joan knows what she's doing.” Dustin's voice sounded behind Abelyn.
Fine then, I'll just let her be! Abelyn shook her head helplessly.
Joan had already accepted the fact that Della and Larry were getting married. She did not intend to stop it from happening, nor was she going to fight for Larry. Of course, she wouldn't create any trouble for them as well. The woman just wanted to live her life peacefully and be happy, hoping that one day, all her worries would be gone.
