Chapter 471
Justin saw Joyce finish her meeting with her father and walk out of the box.
He stood quietly at the end of the hallway waiting for her.
Joyce walked up to Justin and smiled lightly, “It was a good talk, it’s over.”
Justin reached out to put his arm around Joyce’s thin shoulder, but she avoided it without a trace and pressed the elevator button instead.
“My father didn’t give you a hard time, did he?” He asked gently, his gaze always resting on her, unable to move away.
“No, uncle has changed a lot. He’s completely different from the impression he left me before.” Joyce returned sincerely. It was indeed to her surprise, and she thought she would be humiliated tonight.
“Yes, I feel relieved that my father has finally given in after all he’s been through. Joyce, you have not had dinner yet, I’ll take you downstairs for a bit, I’ve already had it prepared.” Justin raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Joyce had been in there for just about half an hour, so apparently her father hadn’t had dinner with her.
“No, I’m not hungry, I’m a little tired and want to go back and rest first.” Joyce refused.
Although the conversation with Garrett just now went well and there was no discomfort. However, knowing these things made her mood heavy all the time. She had no appetite and no desire to eat at all.
“How can that be, I see you often work overtime day and night, and you don’t even have time for your meals. After a long time, what if your body is broken?” Justin advised.
“I really don’t want to eat today.”
At this time the elevator came, Joyce walked straight into the elevator, Justin had to follow her in.
“How about that? I’ll ask the waiter to pack you a beef congee, and when you go back, you can heat it up and eat it yourself when you’re hungry. Then, I’ll send you back.” Justin said insistently. He knew she was stubborn.
“Good.” Joyce didn’t insist any more.
She did feel sluggish and sick to her stomach today, and didn’t want to take the subway or a taxi back to Eden Apartment by herself.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“By the way, Mr. Henderson gave me two tickets for the next World Shooting Championships for individual competitors. I’m very grateful to him.” Joyce thought to herself that Garrett had asked her to keep his illness a secret, so naturally she had to comply. But it was still important to let Justin know about this matter.
Justin tilted his head and looked quite surprised, “It really surprised me that my father was so thoughtful. Joyce, it seems that my father has completely put aside the prejudice against you, and from now on, there will not be any obstacle between us …”
“Justin,” Joyce called out to him, interrupting him.
What stood between her and him was never Garrett.
” Mr. Henderson doesn’t look too good. You should take care of him. You know I used to take care of Stephanie for a while and it’s easy to get sick at an older age. It would be too late if you pay no attention.” Joyce kindly reminded.
“Well, I know. I will pay extra attention to it.” Justin found it heart-warming that Joyce cared about his family, and his handsome face was now overflowed with soft light, and even his eyes became warmer.
They went downstairs to the restaurant and after packing their porridge, he drove Joyce back to Eden Apartment.
There was a lot of traffic on the road and it took about an hour to arrive.
