“Dustin and I have been living in Abelyn's villa. He sold his house...”
She explained herself in great detail, fearing that the person in front of her would misunderstand again.
“Larry, I actually wanted to contact you a long time ago. I was just afraid that I would distract you. You know, Norton Corporation only got to where it is today because you persevered and worked for it yourself. I don't want you to just...”
Eventually, she still could not help but express the concerns she had held in her heart.
“Silly girl!” Larry said as he stood up and pulled Joan into a tight hug.
“I can still solve all of Norton Corporation's problems even without Della. I just need time,” he replied gently, kissing her forehead.
Right. He's Larry after all! A trace of joy flickered across Joan's gaze.
“You can finally come back now,” he said heartbrokenly as he gently stroked her hair.
As he had not seen her in a long time, resultantly, he only felt love for her then.
“Go back to work. I'll head home first,” Joan said, then she turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Larry pulled her into a tight hug, reluctant to let her go.
“Stay with me a little longer.”
He then rested his head on her collarbone, relishing her presence.
“Okay, stop it. There're a lot of people watching,” Joan muttered embarrassedly as she pointed to the employees outside the office.
“We're in a relationship. Isn't it normal for us to be intimate?”
“We haven't remarried yet,” she reminded him.
Bang!
The office door was suddenly forcefully opened.
