Joan smiled awkwardly in response.
I guess these two are the only ones that genuinely care about me right now...
She hadn't contacted Nancy, Jessica, and Delilah for fear of them informing Larry of her location.
The three of them soon arrived at Abelyn's villa which she had purchased before going overseas.
“Well? What do you think?” Abelyn asked them excitedly with her arms outstretched.
“It's great,” Joan said with a chuckle.
It was very classical in design and had a courtyard, swimming pool, as well as a huge lawn.
This villa must've costed a fortune...
Joan thought to herself as she sat down on a swing nearby.
“Abelyn, please... You could only dream of living here if it weren't for me!” Dustin said in
annoyance.
“Oh, come on, Dustin! Be a gentleman, will you? It's not like I'm the only one staying here anyway...” Abelyn protested.
Wait... What does Abelyn owning this villa have to do with Dustin? Joan shot the two of them a confused look.
“Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Abelyn and I bought this villa together...”
According to Dustin, he sold his house to aid Abelyn in purchasing that villa. Her parents objected to her decision on buying a house in Chanaea, so she had no choice but to ask Dustin for help.
“Jeez... It's just a villa, man! Why are you being so petty about it? I'll buy you two just like this one overseas, okay?”
