Chapter 1355

Chapter 1355“Yeah.” Joyce handed her the bag. “My dad made strawberry jam and apricot jam yesterday night. He
told me to bring it over since it's your favorite. You can take it home and let Mr. Shane try it too.”
Natalie smiled at her words. “That's great, Joyce. Thank your dad for me.”
“Don't mention it.” Joyce waved her hand. “This is nothing compared to what you've given us.”
“It's not the same. The things I gifted you were store-bought, but these are hand-made with love by Mr.
Rivers,” Natalie replied as she took the bag from Joyce.
She could tell that the bag was full of jams based on how heavy the bag was.
Mr. Rivers must have stayed up all night preparing all these.
“It's all the same to me.” Joyce shrugged.
Natalie stepped aside to make way for her. “Alright, Joyce. Come on in.”
Joyce grunted in response and followed her into the room. She glanced at the luggage bag in the room
and said, “Are you done packing?”
“Yes. My flight will be at one in the afternoon. I'm planning to leave earlier in case of traffic jam,” Natalie
replied.
Joyce nodded. “Wise choice. Traffic will be heavy since it will be the new year soon.”
“Yeah. That's why I'd rather leave earlier.” Natalie placed the bag of jams into her other luggage. The
both of them chatted for a while longer before Joyce left. “Okay, Nat. I need to visit Justin next door as
he too will be leaving Baycoast today.”
“Justin's leaving?” Natalie was puzzled.Joyce nodded. “Yeah. His schedule would be pretty tight next year since his company launched not too
long ago. Taking a few days off to visit my family here is already his limit, so he'll have to head back
today. After all, his company still needs him.”
“That's true.” Natalie nodded.
Joyce stood up. “I'll be leaving then.”
“Wait.” Natalie suddenly called out to her.
Joyce paused. “What is it?”
“Joyce, what do you think of Justin?” Natalie stood up.
Joyce stared at her in confusion. “What do I think of him? Why do you ask, Nat?”
This chapter upload first at NovelEbook.Org“Because it's important. I want to know if you plan to get together with Justin.” Natalie stared at her.
Joyce widened her eyes as she was taken aback by Natalie's words. “What? Get together with Justin?
Nat, what are you talking about? Why would I get together with Justin?”
She then waved her hand and smiled. Natalie must have gotten it all wrong.
However, Natalie was staring at her with a straight face. “Joyce, don't you know?”
“Know what?” Joyce blinked.
Natalie sighed. “Justin likes you.”Everything clicked for Natalie at the moment. She didn't know that Joyce wasn't aware of Justin's
feelings for her before this.
As expected, Joyce gasped in surprise at her words. “What are you talking about? J-Justin likes me?”
She stuttered.
Natalie shook her head helplessly. “Gosh, you're so dense. How could you not know? It's so obvious.”
Joyce plopped down on the sofa, dumbfounded. “How would I know? We've parted ways for more than
20 years. I've forgotten all about him. I wouldn't have remembered him if he hadn't shown up all of a
sudden. Why would it even cross my mind that Justin fancies me?”
Okay. I'll admit I sensed Justin had feelings for me when we were watching the movie that day.
But Joyce quickly brushed off that idea soon after.
Why would Justin fancy me when we've parted ways for twenty years?
Moreover, we were only kids back then when we parted ways. What do kids know about love?
It wasn't until now that she knew Justin harbored feelings for her.
“It's true. I thought he didn't like you too at first, but I can see that he's serious. He really does like you.
So, Joyce, what do you think of him?” Natalie sat down beside her.
