Meanwhile, in the hotel, impatience was written all over Dustin's face as the woman beside him continued to run her mouth.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's pack and leave! It's been so many days now, and if she's really in that villa, she should have come out by now," Abelyn prattled on as she packed her stuff.
Dustin sighed, feeling a little disappointed. She's right. With Joan's temper, she couldn't have been staying home all week. She has not come out for even once! Is she really not in that villa?
Finally, both of them finished packing their things and left the hotel. Little did they know that as they left, Joan had come out of the villa as well.
Upon arriving at the beach, Joan acted like a child who had just been allowed to go out and play after spending a long time doing homework at home. She ran and hopped around so excitedly; the housemaid who guarded her from a distance couldn't help but smile at the woman's silly behavior.
"Oh no!" Abelyn cried aloud in the car suddenly. "I left something at the hotel; it's a souvenir bought during my last trip."
Her voice grew softer and softer toward the end of her sentence.
"Well, it's just a souvenir, isn't it? You can't possibly get rich with it. Just leave it," Dustin continued driving after replying.
"No way!" Abelyn seemed desperate as she tugged on his arm and protested.
Isn't it just an ordinary souvenir? Does she have
to behave in such a way? However, looking at how distressed and mad the woman next to him was, Dustin instantly made a U-turn. What a bratty woman... How irksome!
Very soon, the car stopped once again in front of the hotel.
Without a second thought, Abelyn rushed into the hotel while Dustin stood at the entrance, scrolling his phone out of boredom. Meanwhile, Joan was having fun at the beach right next to the hotel with some children. She laughed and played with them; she seemed to be really enjoying herself.
When Abelyn barged into the room she had been staying in, she hurriedly grabbed the souvenir her first love had gifted her. When she was ready to leave, she looked up suddenly and had her eyes fixated on a woman outside the window.
Isn't that... Joan?Am I seeing things now? She rubbed her eyes and kept them wide open as she focused her sight on the woman having fun at the beach.
She really is JoanlGoodness, I've finally found her!
"Dustin!" Abelyn rushed downstairs in a hurry.
