Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2832
Jake had been wanting to bring this up with Joan. However, he had not been able to find the perfect
time to. His patience was running thin, and he feared that she might disappear into thin air without a
moment’s notice.
Joan lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Rubbing her hands against each other anxiously, she was at a loss of what to say to the man’s sudden
proposal. I know Jake is my boyfriend, but somehow, I don’t feel the connection a couple is supposed
to feel about each other. Sometimes when he tries to kiss me, I’ll feel ufortable.
Joan’s silent struggle was evident to Jake. Dejection filled his entire being. It’s been so long. How has
she not noticed how I feel about her? Or is she still thinking about Larry Norton? That’s impossible! She
has lost her memories. There’s no trace of Larry left in her world!
Jake continued to fix his unwavering gaze on her.
“Jake, honestly, I’m not ready for this,” Joan finally uttered.
What’s there to be ready for? She doesn’t need to lift a finger on everything else as long as she agrees
to marry me! He pulled the woman into his arms tightly and seemed rather pitiful when he said, “Joan,
as long as you say yes, I’ll take care of everything. You only need to focus on being my bride, that’s all.”
Each of his words was sincere and desperate at the same time.
Joan did not doubt how Jake felt about her. However, the fuzzy image of a man who appeared in her
mind intermittently made her think she had a unique connection to him. But she could not, for the life of
her, remember who that person was.
“Jake, I’m tired. I’m going to bed now,” Joan stated and walked toward the bedroom. No… I can’t say
yes to Jake’s proposal. I can’t betray my own feelings and lie to him!
As she slowly disappeared from his sight, a chilling glint shed across Jake’s eyes. What do I have to
do to get her to marry me? Maybe I could knock her up?
Jake immediately pped himself across his face at that thought. What am I thinking? How could I
harbor such a malicious thought!
Meanwhile, Dustin and Abelyn had not given up their search for Joan. They had looked into every nook
and cranny around the houses near the beach but to no avail.
“Dustin, are you sure you want to keep going?” Abelyn asked in between her shallow pants.
“Yes, we must continue.” Dustin was resolute.
It doesn’t seem like he is giving up anytime soon. Abelyn smacked her hand, trying to regain her focus.
It had been a few days since the two had any quality sleep.
“Hey, youngdy, there’s a huge private vi over there. You can give it a crack.” Suddenly, a middle-
aged woman approached them and offered some advice.
A private vi? As though they had suddenly been fully recharged, Abelyn took Dustin’s hand and
barrelled down the street.
In no time, the two arrived in front of a vi. The vi was so big — it could easily pass for a small-sized
manor. Abelyn was about to walk into the vi when Dustin grabbed onto her shoulder.
“What are you doing? You can’t just barge into a private property like that! This looks to be home to a
wealthy family,” Dustin muttered next to her.
Abelyn was in awe toe across such an exquisite building in the country.
After the two gathered themselves at the door, they knocked on it politely.
“Who is it?” Joan askedzily while stretching her back.
“I’m not sure. Let me check.” Jake smiled and stroked her hair lovingly before walking to the door. He
was in utter shock when he saw the image of the two persons in his security camera. How did they get
here? I must keep Joan away from them!

“Joan, do you mind staying in the bedroom? It’s my partner from work. It’s kind of inconvenient with you
around when we discuss business. Also, I’m afraid you’ll be bored by our business conversations
anyway,” the man said while pulling Joan into the nearest bedroom, not giving her a chance to protest.
