245: Chapter 247 He’s Afraid Joanna Lawrence Will Change Her Mind 245: Chapter 247 He’s Afraid Joanna Lawrence Will Change Her Mind Before, when she and Rose Liall were attacked, she called David Benington, who didn’t seem to take it seriously.
He didn’t co to the Lawrence residence until the next day.
When he saw her, he offered only noncommittal words of comfort and bought her so gifts to appease her.
Even though he was generous in his choice of gifts, choosing only high-end items, Annie Lawrence wasn’t pacified.
Instead of those gifts, she preferred him to be like that mysterious man, rushing to her side to support her when she needed it the most.
“I observed that man and he seems to really value Joanna.
She must be satisfied with him, right?
She previously asked for your help in finding a suitable partner, but it appears she no longer needs that help.
With a man of such fine stature, how could Joanna be interested in Manager Prowse?”
Hearing this, David Benington was choked up.
He would rather see Joanna Lawrence with Manager Prowse than with that man.
The forr was sothing he could control.
He knew Joanna would never fall in love with Prowse.
But in the case of the latter…
He was not certain.
He was afraid that Joanna would change her heart, afraid that her heart no longer had a place for him.
On the other side.
Joanna Lawrence consoled Mrs.
Benington for a while.
Once she felt Mrs.
Benington was stable, she eased herself out of her embrace.
“Madam White, now you know everything.
I ca here to tell you that David and I have annulled our engagent.
I have no relationship with him anymore.”
Joanna didn’t want to stay over at the Benington’s tonight.
Jeremy Lawrence and Ashton Heath were still waiting for her outside.
Besides, with David and Annie—this despicable man and vile woman—around, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Mrs.
Benington understood the gravity of her son’s unforgivable mistake.
Even if it was hard, she didn’t try to reconcile the situation.
Her eyes red and still full of sorrow, she held Joanna’s hand and said tearfully, “It’s just that David was not lucky enough to be with you.
If you want to dissolve the engagent, we, as his parents, have no objections.
Joanna, if I miss you in the future, can I see you again?”
Looking into Mrs.
Benington’s eyes filled with longing, Joanna also felt a tinge of sadness.
She liked Mrs.
Benington.
No matter how terrible David had behaved, Mrs.
Benington had always treated her well.
However, since she and David had already broken up, she had to keep her distance from the Benington family.
Otherwise, a certain jealous man would be unable to stand it.
She fell silent, took Mrs.
Benington’s hand, and offered a slight smile, “If you miss in the future, we could arrange to et sowhere.”
Mrs.
Benington also fell silent.
She implied that Joanna would probably not visit the Benington’s in the future.
If they were to et, it would be elsewhere.
Despite feeling regret and loss, Mrs.
Benington understood Joanna’s decision.
“Madam White, I’ve said all I had to say.
I have so things to take care of, so I won’t stay any longer.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Mrs.
Benington didn’t try to keep her, even though she didn’t want her to leave, she nodded reluctantly and said tearfully, “Since you have other matters to attend to, I won’t keep you.
I’ll ask Knox to take you ho.”
“No need,” Joanna shook her head, “I ca with a friend, I’ll go back with him.”
“Alright then, may I at least walk you out?”
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Mrs.
Benington took her hand, ready to walk her to the door.
