Chapter 2734 Some Space To Calm Down
“Definitely,” Dustin affirmed with a nod as he watched Joan from afar.
“More so than the sight of me?” Abelyn asked on purpose with a hopeful look on her face.
“Of course more than you, there’s no doubt about it.”
His words irritated Abelyn at once.
“Dustin, you liar!” Abelyn yelled as she threw a chicken wing in his direction.
“Since when did I lie to you?”
As both of them were chasing each other, the scene became quite chaotic.
Why are they causing a ruckus again? Staring at both of them from afar, Joan beamed with delight.
In truth, it would be wonderful if Dustin and Abelyn could be together.
“Joan, do you think Abelyn will marry Dustin?” Jessica asked. Feeling nosy, her eyes would occasionally sweep in their direction.
“I don’t know.”
Joan’s answer was concise.
Nevertheless, she was confident Dustin and Abelyn would make a good couple.
Soon, both of them were heading over.
“Joan, how is it? Are you done?” Abelyn asked in anticipation.
Turning around to face Abelyn, Joan quickly replied, “Give me two more minutes and dinner will be served.” She knew that Abelyn was really hungry.
However, they were unaware that someone was taking pictures of them in the shadows.
Meanwhile, at Norton Corporation, Larry looked tired as he was still in the office going through some documents. Putting down his pen, he massaged his temple in an attempt to keep himself awake.
Ding! Suddenly, he received a notification on his phone.
When he checked, he was stunned by the picture he received. In it, Joan and Dustin seemed to be having fun together. However, he didn’t know who had sent it.
“Larry!” Caspian barged in with an anxious look.
Raising his gaze at Caspian, Larry asked coldly, “What’s going on? What happened?”
“Nothing much. It’s just that Joan isn’t home yet.” Caspian’s reply was concise.
Larry lit up a cigarette and began smoking.
Just as he expected, Joan would be constantly out in recent days and it wasn’t hard to guess that she would be with Dustin.
“I understand.”
Larry’s short answer caught Caspian by surprise.
The Larry of old would be infuriated by such news. But now, he was calm as a cucumber. Deep down, Caspian could feel a sense of unease.
“Perhaps, Joan is busy with something,” Caspian suggested hesitantly.
It was Delilah who had informed him that Joan wasn’t home. The reason he was so anxious was that he couldn’t contact both Joan and Jessica, causing him to worry.
“Larry, why don’t I send men to search for her?” Caspian probed in a hopeful manner.
“No, both of us need some space to calm down,” Larry replied plainly with a wave.
Calm down? Why the need to calm down? Caspian sighed at Larry before gradually leaving his office.
By informing Larry that Joan wasn’t home, Caspian thought Larry would look for Joan and reconcile with her. But now, his efforts seem futile.
With a helpless expression, Larry sat down on his office sofa.
He had desperately wished for Joan to return and apologize for her mistake. But he was also well aware of how stubborn she could be.
Perhaps, she really hates Della.
After not being able to contact Jessica and Joan, Caspian scrolled through his address book and called Nancy instead.
“What did you say? Larry and Joan are having a fight again?”
