    Heartbreak


    “Joan?”


    It was De’s voiceing from the other end of the phone.


    Why would she call me? Joan wondered as a feeling of uneasiness rose inside her.


    “What’s the matter?” She asked without beating around the bush.


    “I want to invite you to my wedding. I hope that you can be my bridesmaid,” De replied casually, but


    Joan was momentarily stunned as a barrage of questions ran through her mind.


    She’s getting married? Who is she getting married to? Where will her wedding be held? When is she


    getting married?


    “Sorry, I’m quite busy recently. I don’t think I’ll be able to attend your wedding,” Joan rejected straight


    away after she snapped out of her shock.


    No matter who De was marrying, Joan did not feel that they were close enough for her to attend the


    woman’s wedding.


    At best, they were just acquaintances. Besides, Joan did not have the intention to strengthen their


    friendship any further. She was not magnanimous enough to be good friends with her love rival.


    “That’s such a pity. Larry has specially asked me to invite you to our wedding,” De replied in a


    strange tone, sounding disdainful.


    Larry? Is she marrying Larry? At that instant, tears welled up in Joan’s eyes.


    “Sorry, I gotta go,” Joan ended the call immediately after saying that.


    So, Larry has really chosen her! So, he has really abandoned me! Joan felt like a fool, waiting patiently


    for him to give her an exnation.


    Feelings of grievance welled up in her heart at once and all she could think of at that moment was


    Larry’s face.


    “Joan, hurry up!”


    A loud and crisp voice sounded behind Joan, calling out for her. However, Joan did not seem to have


    heard it.


    “Joan?” Abelyn called out again, testing waters.


    However, Joan still did not seem to have any reaction.


    What’s wrong with her? Why does she look so distracted? Abelyn put down the items she was carrying


    and approached Joan slowly.


    When she reached Joan, she realized that the woman was crying.


    “Let’s go back now!” Abelyn took the items away from Joan’s hands and put them aside. Then, the two


    women left the supermarket together.


    Dustin continued browsing the disys in the supermarket for a while before he realized that his


    “Hello, did you happen to see two very beautiful women… “ Dustin asked the cashier as he ced his


    purchases on the counter.


    “Oh, they left. They had left quite a while back… “ The cashier replied politely.


    Huh? When did they leave? Why didn’t they inform me that they were leaving? Dustin wondered as he


    scratched the back of his head, feeling puzzled.


    On the way back, there was no conversation between the two women in the car. Even though the air


    was very still, the atmosphere was not awkward at all. Joan turned her face towards the window and


    gazed at the passing scenery. She wasn’t in the best of mood. Abelyn looked at her friend quietly


    feeling worried, but did not dare to ask her anything.


    Finally, the two women arrived back at Joan’s ce and they entered the house together.


    “Was that because of Larry?” Abelyn asked with a frown and was looking angry.


    Joan did not reply. She merely sat down on the sofa and lowered her gaze.


    “Don’t worry. If Larry has really hurt you, I will not let him get away with it!” Abelyn dered furiously as


    she clenched her fists tightly.


    Abelyn hated men who hurt women most, regardless if it was physically or emotionally.


    “Tell me, is it Larry?” Abelyn squatted down and looked up at Joan, waiting for her answer.


    Joan finally spoke after a long while.


    “Abelyn, this is my private matter. I can settle it myself. Please don’t worry.”


    How is she going to settle it? Is she looking at a reconciliation? Or is she intending to break up with


    him? To Abelyn, it had to be one of those two options.


    She knew how much Joan loved Larry. As such, she did not want to see Joan giving up on herself


    because of her heartbreak. She knew very well how painful a breakup was and understood how it felt


    to be betrayed. Naturally, she would not want Joan to experience everything that she had gone


    through.


    However, Joan had already experienced all of those.N?velDrama.Org content.
