Larry felt uneasy at the great amount of trust that Joan had for Abelyn. This meant that it would be easy for Abelyn to harm her.
No. I can't let that happen! I have to keep track of Abelyn's every move.
Naturally, Della knew what Larry was thinking and she already had a plan for it. She knew that he would be suspicious, so she did not order Abelyn to make any move yet.
"Do you feel better?" Dustin asked in a gentle tone as he gently stroked Abelyn's hair.
Staring at the man before her, she let her tears flow freely as she felt comfortable being vulnerable in front of him.
Dustin pulled her into his embrace and kept comforting her.
"It's okay. It's over now. Stop thinking about it, and don't worry about a thing. I'll protect you from any harm," Dustin consoled, his heart aching for her.
Over? HmphlThere's no way this is over!I would never forgive her nor would I let her off!
"Dustin, if what you said was true, what would you do if Joan tries to harm me one day?" Abelyn asked to test his reaction.
She wanted to find out if she was more important to him than Joan.
Dustin fell into deep thought as he stared at her.
Silly girl! Why would she ask that? Her position in his heart had definitely surpassed Joan.
You silly girl. What kind of question is that?
Here, drink some water to soothe your throat.
Your voice sounds kind of hoarse." Dustin passed a cup of water to her.
Abelyn was disappointed at his reaction. I guess I still lost to Joan, huh.
She took a sip of water and let out a soft sigh.
"Abelyn!" Just then, Joan appeared suddenly with a bouquet of flowers and some fruits.
