Delilah had already become a much calmer person. She no longer had any big dreams of owning a business. Instead, she just wanted to plant in her own garden at home and enjoy the later years of her life with ease.
"Ms. Young, don't you think I was quite the fool back then?" Joan suddenly asked Delilah.
She was taken aback. What is Joan saying? She wasn't being a fool, she was simply too kind.
"The day Larry proposed to me, Jake showed me those pictures. I was furious, but I went back to that *sshole's side like nothing happened," Joan said faux-angrily.
That's all because of love, silly girl.
Delilah chuckled and gently tapped Joan on the
head.
"You and Larry are a match made in heaven. Do you know how many people were envious of you two, or admired your relationship? Even now, although you've lost your memories, Larry still hasn't given up on you." Delilah's tone was as casual as if she were talking about the weather, but her words ran deep.
True. Larry hasn't given up on me, not then and not even now. Joan looked up and smiled at the sky.
She knew she would be well off with such a caring and reliable husband.
"Joan!" All of a sudden, a bunch of people barged in.
Joan was shocked. Who are they? What are they doing here? Joan looked at the people who
suddenly barged in suspiciously, feeling anxious.
Delilah immediately ran toward Joan and pulled her behind her back.
