Chapter 2969

"Pretty please? I'll contribute financially, while you contribute in terms of labor.Then, I'll get to eat your cooking"

Gabriella murmured sheepishly.

"If you don't agree, I'm going to stay right here until you do!" she suddenly declared at the top of her lungs.

Fine by me.

Just stay here, then.

Joan threw her a disgruntled look.

I indeed want to open an eatery, but I don't want to collaborate with a stranger, who's also not quite right in the head!

"Sure! It's just me in the house, so you can even keep me company if you stay; she deliberately remarked while chewing the food in her mouth.Hmm? It's just her in the house? That's great! Gabriella's lips curved into a mischievous smile.Oh dear, she must have thought of something dreadful again! As Joan gazed at the freaky expression in front of her, unease pervaded her.

"Will you please lend me your cell phone, my dear Joan? I forgot to bring my cell phone when I left the house today."

My dear Joan? Am I hearing things? Why did she suddenly become so amiable? No, she must be up to something!

"Why do you need to use my cell phone?" Joan demanded bluntly.

"To give my father a call and tell him that I'm not coming home tonight."

Huh? She's really not planning on going home? Is she serious? Surprised, Joan gaped at the woman in front of her.

All of a sudden, a headache assailed her.

"Uh...Look, Gabriella, you're still young, so your father will be very worried if you spend the night outside.I'll drive you back later, okay? Let's not...

"No!"

Gabriella screeched, slamming her hands on the table.

Her grit and tone truly shocked Joan greatly.

Good grief, it's really difficult to sway her!

"How could I bear to abandon you here alone? We're business partners, so we should naturally stick together through thick and thin!"

As she said that, she handed her cell phone to the woman before her.

Snatching the cell phone joyfully, Gabriella made her call without an ounce of hesitation.

"Hello, Dad, I'm not coming home today.No, I won't be coming home for the next few days.My friend is alone at home, so I'm worried about her"

Ugh! Who's the worried party here? Joan massaged her temples in a bid to soothe her nerves.

Ah, how unlucky of me! However, while regarding Gabriella's excited expression, her anger dissipated for some inexplicable reason.

Actually, she's quite pitiful.She must have few friends.

As she gazed at her petite figure, a sense of compassion filled her.

In reality, she’s innocent at heart! What a pity!

"Here.I'm done using it, Joan.Thank you!"

During the days when Gabriella was with Joan, she inexplicably grew more cheerful.And perhaps she was now close with her, but she didn't even care about Larry's return.
