"It's Larry," Madam Yu replied bluntly.
Joan lifted her eyes to the ceiling. Tears filled her eyes again. That rogue! Why didn't he tell me?
"Joan, it's all over now. Don't be sad over it."
Yeah, we must look forward but who is the person who stabbed me in the back?Where is that trouble-maker now? Joan was lost in thought again.
Nearby, Delilah and Lucius were still exchanging news and looking very excited while Caiden was sitting on the sofa enjoying their joyful reunion.
Some time passed and Larry returned, looking casual and relaxed.
Only Joan, Delilah, and Lucius were in the living room at that time.
"Thank you." Joan went up to him and held his hand tightly and her voice was very emotional. Larry pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair tenderly.
"Silly, we are husband and wife. There is no need to thank me."
The corners of Joan's turned upwards in a smile.
Even though Joan kept questioning Larry about who the perpetrator was, he did not tell her the whole truth as he did not want his beloved to feel fearful again.
Everything was back to normal.
"Larry, why didn't you tell me the truth?" Joan asked rather angrily back in their room.
Why are there so many questions? Larry stretched out his right hand and pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly in order to enjoy the warmth of her body.
"Isn't it good for us to live peacefully like this? Why do we need to pursue the things that have passed?" Larry's voice was a little low but it made a lot of sense.
