The past few days had been emotionally tiring for Joan, so Larry felt that it might be good to take her out for some rest and relaxation to get her mind off things.
While he was dealing with some work in the study, Joan crept into his workspace and approached him from behind.
In fact, Larry had already detected the sounds of the intruder when Joan came into the room, but he pretended to be oblivious to it and played along.
Just when Joan was inches away from him, he quickly turned around and grabbed her by the waist.
Joan let out a soft cry before falling into Larry’s arms.
“How did you know I was here?” Joan asked in discontent.
“Dummy, I could smell your perfume.”
Larry smirked as he buried his head in her hair.
He was instantly filled with joy when he took in Joan’s pretty face as though he just could not get enough of it.
“Joan,” Larry whispered her name.
“What is it?”
Joan was also enjoying the rare moment of bliss.
Larry had been taking care of recent events while she spent the past few days in anxiety, so they were both physically and mentally drained.
“Let’s go somewhere for fun today. We haven’t really been anywhere as a couple yet.”
Larry felt guilty when he realized that he was always swamped with work and rarely spent time with Joan or went on trips with her.
“Do you mean it?”
Joan lifted her head from Larry’s arms and exclaimed in joy.
She had always wanted to spend time with Larry in the great outdoors, admiring what nature had in store.
But since Larry was always busy, she could not bear to trouble him and ask him to take her sightseeing, so she never brought it up.
Nevertheless, Joan had a strong desire to travel, especially with her loved one.
She might have never mentioned it, but the idea had crossed her mind countless times.
“Of course I do.”
Seeing the look of surprise on her face, Larry could tell that Joan had waited a long time for this day. It made him feel even more guilty.
Larry made a promise in his mind. I’ll definitely spend more time with you in the future.
“That’s great! So, where are we going?” Joan squealed excitedly.
“Wherever you want.”
Larry’s voice was filled with adoration for her.
“Oh, how wonderful! We’re finally going on a trip!”
Joan was brimming with childlike happiness. Just the thought of going on vacation with Larry and their child filled her with joy.
Larry was pleased to know that Joan was genuinely excited at the idea of going on a trip.
“Joan, we’ll get to travel more often from now on. You can do whatever you desire. As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to do anything.”
Larry’s eyes were full of affection as he looked into hers. At that moment, he felt like he was seeing the entire world.
Joan was instantly moved by Larry’s confession. Choosing to be with him was the best decision she had ever made.
They did not have much planning or preparations. Larry simply handed over the company matters to someone he trusted before the two embarked on a journey at the drop of a hat.
Sometimes, happiness was just that simple.
Larry had to return to settle some important work-related affairs within a week, so they did not intend to go anywhere too far.
They swiftly packed their luggage and boarded a tour bus.
Other than a road trip, taking a tour bus was another great option to travel.
Throughout the journey, Larry and Joan spent their time in the bus bantering happily.
This was the most relaxing time the couple had since they established the relationship. They could put aside all their worries for now, and their hearts only had room for each other.
“Larry, look at the view over there!”
“Larry, isn’t it gorgeous?”
“Dear, take a photo of me, will you? Come one, let’s take one together!”
“Dear, I want to eat that!”
“Larry, you idiot! People are watching!”
Joan was like a chirping bird, filling Larry’s entire world with joyful notes.
