In the end, Delilah finally straightened up and gave Joan a firm nod.
Larry was surprised to hear that Joan was able to convince Delilah to move. He knew how difficult it was to persuade someone like Delilah, who had firm principles.
Joan must have put in a lot of effort to make this work. Larry stared at the woman before him and smiled.
"What are you laughing about?" Joan lightly pounded Larry's back.
"You're not bad! You actually convinced Ms. Young to move! That's incredible!" Larry replied.
Indeed. To Joan, nothing was impossible for her as long she wanted to do it. Thus, she responded
by patting her chest, proud of herself.
Larry gave her a playful knock on her head, looking at her endearingly.
Joan had not changed one bit, still kind and adorable. The only thing different between now and the past was that she lost part of her memories.
Larry sighed softly when he thought about that, and a sense of disappointment flashed before his eyes.
Even though they had encountered countless situations, as well as some unpleasant memories, those were the memories that allowed them to continue holding each other's hand and not let go.
"What's wrong?" Joan appeared before him.
"Oh, it's nothing. Quickly now, pack up!" Larry instantly shifted the topic away.
Nothing? Joan watched as Larry got busy, puzzled.
He looked like he had a lot on his mind a second ago, though. So men lie about their feelings too? Especially men like him for sure. Joan smoothed out her clothes and got to work as well.
Not long after, Delilah and Lucius moved into Larry's villa, looking like a family once again.
Joan looked at them as her lips unknowingly curled into a grin. She patted Lucius on the shoulder and reminded him that he needed to study diligently from then onward.
