Chapter 3022
Hmm?Where are we going? Abelyn turned around and gave Dustin a puzzled look.
Tapping her gently on her head, Dustin pretended to be affectionate by reminding her softly.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten again? Didn't we agree to it earlier? We were supposed to go out for dinner tonight"
Actually, Dustin overheard the phone call earlier.
Although he wasn't entirely clear, he still had a good grasp of what was going on.
"Oh, that’s right.I'm sorry.I've forgotten.Come, let's go now:"
Meanwhile, a reporter had managed to take a photo of Joan dining with Jake in the restaurant.
"Why aren't you home yet?" Larry asked with concern.
"I'm heading back in a short while" Joan stalled.
"What are you doing? Where are you?" Larry continued to ask.
After a slight hesitation, Joan chose to lie. She knew that Larry would be furious if he knew she was having dinner with Jake.
"Is that Larry on the line?" Jake asked as he sipped his coffee.
Joan smiled slightly without answering.
Of course, it's him.
Who else could it be? Jake sneered in displeasure.
"Hack..." Suddenly, Joan coughed softly.
"What is it, Joan?"
Jake raised his head and gave Joan a concerned look.
Joan grimaced as she continued to cough.
Worried, Jake approached and patted her on her back to help relieve her cough.
At that moment, both of them looked intimate.
Meanwhile, that same scene was being photographed.
Bam! Larry slammed the pictures forcefully onto the ground.
"Mr.Norton."
His assistant was taken aback and recoiled in fear.
What's going on?Why isn't she home yet? Larry was suddenly on his guard.
No, can it be that something has happened to her? Larry turned around and got into his car.
At that moment, Joan was resting in the hospital.
"It's alright.Don't worry.Just be more careful next time while eating."
She had an allergic reaction at the restaurant because of something she ate.
The chef had discreetly added into her food something that she was allergic to.
"Doctor, will she be alright?" Jake asked with concern.
"Don't worry.She'll be fine.However, as her boyfriend, you're doing quite a good job; the doctor remarked with asmile.
Suddenly, silence filled the air.
"He's not my boyfriend"
Joan clarified immediately.
At that moment, the doctor felt awkward and quickly left after giving some instructions.
In the ward, Joan was alone with Jake, causing the atmosphere to feel awkward.
