But it's not surprising, when you had enough money, you simply could know a lot of things. It’s not really a big deal.
"I asked a friend to look it up, and I'm sorry I didn't ask you beforehand. I was afraid … you wouldn't tell me." Justin said softly, with an apologetic voice.
"Huh." Joyce half-sneered, "I am willing or not. You still find me, don’t you? What's the difference whether I tell you or not?"
"I …" Justin's handsome face was slightly red and a little embarrassed.
Joyce had changed. She was colder, more detached yet more charming than before.
Once upon a time she was only aloof and not easily approachable, and now she was even prohibitive.
But the more she did, the deeper he fell, unable to extricate himself.
"Joyce, I would have liked to talk to you properly. Unfortunately, it's too late today." Justin walked forward and took Joyce's arm, "Now, the whole town knows about us. Can you give me one more chance to take care of you?"
Under the moonlight, his handsome face looked extraordinarily sincere.
"Joyce, the mistakes I made in the past have caused me a lot of regret. I know that you had suffered a lot in those two years. Now that I'm finally on my feet, I just want to do everything I can to make it up to you and never let you suffer a bit again."
His voice was clear and pleasant, which just came to her ears with the night breeze.
Joyce was shaken for a moment as she looked into his gentle, watery eyes, "Justin, I'm so glad to see you back to your old self. You've regained your confidence, and it's worth the effort I've put into you."
She sighed quietly, "But, I really don't deserve you. Wouldn't it be better if you went and found a better girl, worthy of your family background? Don't you come again. We better just wait for this incident to die down, wait for me to fade out of the public eye, and then we'll have nothing to do with each other."
Her words did not leave him any chance.
Justin's heart was broken.
