With similar enthusiasm, Larry uttered, “The tomboy that laughed so loudly back then is now a beautiful
woman. Jaylene, I’m sure you have someone now, don’t you?”
She was Joan’s friend, so naturally, Larry would be friendly to her.
Larry’s praise made Jaylene feel shy. She quickly lowered her head to hide her blush from the two.
It was true that she was quite the tomboy back in college. For her, college was like a beauty salon.
Once upon a time, she cared not about her appearance, but now, things were different.
In a way, she should thank Larry for her change. Back then, Jaylene was one of Larry’s fangirls. As she
had a crush on him, she started caring about how she dressed, hoping that Larry would notice her one
day.
Nevertheless, Larry ended up as her best friend’s boyfriend later on.
Although Jaylene was upset back then, she never directed those feelings toward Joan. Instead, she
was happy for her friend.
“No way am I part of a couple like the two of you. I’m still single. Why don’t you introduce me to
someone?”
Although Jaylene’s heart still skipped a beat when she saw Larry, she quickly dismissed her thoughts
for him.
While it was fine for her to love someone, it would be immoral of her to intervene in someone else’s
relationship. As a lecturer, Jaylene was exceptionally mindful of her behavior.“Joan, Larry, it’s been a long time since you’ve been in a school. Give me a moment, and I’ll take you
two on a tour around the campus soon,” Jaylene offered.
“Sure. I’ve always wanted to look around the school. Moreover, Larry keeps telling me to get close to
the counselors. Why don’t we have a meal together later?” Joan suggested as she winked.
“Of course! I didn’t get to attend your wedding, but it’ll be great if you can treat me to a meal.”
Clearly, Jaylene loved to eat, as her eyes had lit up upon hearing the mention of food.
noveldrama“Ms. Callow, we aren’t bribing you; we’re just inviting you to a meal,” Larry joked.
“Hahaha!”
The trio then laughed. Once Jaylene had completed her work, they then headed out of the room.
The housemaid that Larry hired had arrived the previous night. With the housemaid around, Joan
would not need to worry about her baby. Thus, Joan spent a long while chatting with Jaylene before
they reluctantly parted.
She still had plenty of opportunities to meet her, after all.
When Jaylene had heard that Larry and Joan now had a child, she was surprised again. She then
teased that the two were advancing in their relationship a little too quickly.
After returning home, the first thing Joan did was to check on her child. When she saw the boy
sleeping, Joan felt her worries melt away. After watching her son for a while, she then went to the living
room.
Nancy and Caspian had reached home earlier than them. When they saw Joan, Nancy chuckled and
asked, “Joan, how was your day?”“It’s great. I even met my good friend from my college days. She’s now my school counselor,” Joan
responded.
Nancy gasped in surprise. “Wow! That’s such a coincidence. What a small world.”
Nodding, Joan then asked, “How was yours? Did you have fun?”
“Ugh,” came Nancy’s response. “I can’t believe a certain someone’s from the special forces. He was
too tired to walk after three hours of shopping, so we had to find a place to eat. After food, that idiot
then wanted to go home to sleep. I managed to drag him around for two more hours before we came
back.”
Caspian shrugged. “What can I do? You women shop like maniacs. I’m truly tired.”
Beside them, Larry nodded. Evidently, he was in full agreement with Caspian’s words.
