Chapter 3053


    Larry had been watching his every move.


    Right then, an amused smile yed on his lips.


    He’s probably disappointed about how things turned out, isn''t he? With a bitingly cold glint shing in


    his eyes, he picked up a wine ss and walked over to Jake.


    "What? Are you here to humiliate me?"


    Jake said in a self-mocking tone as he epted the ss of wine from Larry''s hand.


    Larry didn''t really care about that.


    All he knew was that with the truth finally revealed, no one would feel wronged or get hurt for no reason


    again.


    Come to think of it, I have Jake to thank for this.


    "Stay away from Joan from now on" Larry abruptly warned.


    What the hell is he talking about?Is he going to keep Joan away from me again? Jake lifted his head to


    re at the other man. Why should I stay away from her?


    "Larry, you should know that if it weren''t for me, Joan would''ve died a long time ago!" Jake countered


    with a steely expression.


    He''s right.


    He has indeed rescued Joan many times, and in a way, I''m grateful to him for that.But if he still has any


    funny thoughts about Joan, there''s no way I''ll take it lying down.


    Larry narrowed his eyes at him, a hint of hostility gleaming in them.


    "I Know that you still have feelings for Joan, but Jake, please understand that Joan is currently my


    girlfriend and fiancée.In fact, we''re about to have a wedding soon.Why must you keep hounding her?"


    Larry refuted.


    A wedding ?When?Why haven''t I heard anything about this? Jake looked Larry up and down, feeling

    slightly doubtful.


    This b*stard! I can''t believe he''s marrying Joan so soon.It looks like there''s really no more hope for me


    anymore.


    Jake bowed his head to conceal the pain flickering in his eyes.


    After loving and protecting her for so many years, she’s still going to marry Larry.


    A second time at that.


    Jake''s face was ashen with despair at that moment.


    It was uncertain how much time had passed before everyone parted ways.


    In the car, Jake kept reying what Larry had said to him.


    His heart wrenched painfully in his chest and he found it hard to breathe.


    Jessica poked Larry''s shoulder to get his attention before querying, "Hey, Larry.


    What did you say to Jake earlier? He had this awful look on his face"


    What else could I have said?Of course, it was about Joan. in this world, no one else can affect him this


    much besides her.


    Larry raised his head and frowned unhappily.


    The thought of Joan living with Jake for a period of time made his blood boil.


    I should be the only one to take care of her, but then Jake appeared by chance and messed it all up.


    "I told him that Joan and I are getting married’ Larry replied nonchntly.


    What? Jessica was taken aback.


    When did he make this decision? She grabbed Larry''s arm and squinted suspiciously at him.


    Sensing her displeasure, Larry exined, "It''s just a thought.I was thinking it''s time we got married"


    Jessica sighed in relief.


    For a second there I thought he was hiding things from me.


    "Okay, I got it.Just tell me if you need anything, Larry.I''ll do everything I can to help you!"


    Jessica patted her chest and vowed with confidence.


    Silly girl.I guess I can always count on her.


    Larry smiled faintly as excitement swelled in him.


    Needless to say, he was over the moon when he thought about marrying Joan.


    "Then, when are you nning to propose to Joan? I''ll help you set up the venue"


    A hint of mischief appeared in Larry''s eyes.


    He knew that Joan had always loved the sea, so the choice of venue was a no-brainer to him.


    "Don''t tell Joan about this yet, Jessica.Let''s n it in secret and give her a surprise"
