Chapter 1403 Joyce And Justin
“Yeah,” Natalie agreed, nodding and pursing her lips. Before leaving the nursery, she gave Anders a good, long look before turning around to leave.
Time flew by, and two days came to pass in the blink of an eye. That night, Natalie’s family of four was having dinner together when her phone suddenly rang. Shane and the two children put down their utensils and looked at her. “Mommy, who is it?” Connor asked.
Although Shane said nothing, the meaning of the look in his eyes was evident. He, too, wanted to find out which insensible person was interrupting his family’s dinner.
“I’ll check.” Smiling, Natalie took out her phone and glanced at the screen. Her brow lifted a little. “It’s your Aunt Joyce.” “Why is Joyce calling at this hour?” Shane frowned.
Natalie shook her head. “Beats me. Joyce never calls me during meal times because she doesn’t want to interrupt our meal time. I bet she must have an important matter that made her call at this hour. I’ll ask her.”
With that, she put down her fork and answered the call. “Hey, Joyce.”
“Nat.” Joyce’s voice sounded dispirited.
Natalie’s brows furrowed, and she asked concernedly, “Joyce, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“No. I just wanted to tell you something. Nat, I… I’ve agreed to be with Justin,” Joyce said into the phone, biting her lip.
Natalie’s eyes widened in surprise. “What? Really? You two are dating?”
Seeing Natalie’s dramatic expression, Shane asked with a frown, “Who’s dating?”
Natalie pulled the phone away and breathed, “Joyce and Justin.”
Shane raised his chin slightly in realization, and he asked no more.
Two days ago, he had a feeling the two of them would be together.
Sure enough, the reality had proved his predictions true.
Well, if that’s the case, I don’t have to follow up on the situation anymore.
With that thought in mind, Shane picked up his utensils and continued eating. At the same time, he told the children to focus on their meals and not zone out.
On the other end of the call, Joyce was sitting on the couch in her apartment. The entire place was pitch-black since the lights were off. It was basically impossible to see her as she sat in the darkness. “Yes. We’re dating.”
“When did this happen? This evening?” Natalie questioned.
Joyce was still looking positive this morning at the office. She was nothing like this.
Natalie guessed they decided to be together after work.
As expected, Joyce nodded. “Yes, this evening. Justin contacted me again to ask if I have an answer already. I told him to give me two days to think about it back then.”
“I know,” Natalie responded briefly.
Joyce told her about it two days ago.
“That’s why Justin asked me again this evening. He even had a short discussion with me. Well, I agreed, but…” Joyce inhaled. “Nat, I answered a little too recklessly. I’m regretting it now. I don’t know if I’m making the right decision to be with Justin. Nat, what do you think I should do?”
Natalie sighed. “To be honest, Joyce, I think you shouldn’t regret it when you’ve already agreed to be with him. Just enjoy your time with him. Try to accept and love him. Perhaps you’ll discover that he’s really the right one for you. Who knows? You might even come to love him.”
“I know, but—”
“No buts!” Natalie interrupted sternly. “Joyce, relationships aren’t games. Once you’ve promised Justin to be with him, you shouldn’t regret it. Even if you do, you can only continue walking down the path. Just try dating him. If you really think both of you aren’t compatible, then you can break up after that. But you must never break up now. Do you understand?”
“Yes,” Joyce answered meekly.
Natalie nodded. “That’s good. Again, try to accept Justin and adjust your mindset. You’re now Justin’s girlfriend, so treat him with the identity of a girlfriend. Stop seeing yourself as the girl next door. One more thing. I hope you won’t reject him if he does any intimate actions. Be fair to him.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
