Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 1348:

Susanna held her wine glass thoughtfully. “Joanna, how do you feel about him?”

“I’m not looking to start a relationship, but the thought of not seeing him again makes me hesitant. He’s really kind and has taught me so much. I’m not even sure if what I feel is love or just admiration.” Joanna rubbed her forehead in confusion. She was still trying to understand her own feelings, which were murky at best.

Norah offered a serene smile. “Joanna, don’t you already know the answer?”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t want him to leave. You want him to stay by your side. That means you want to be with him,” Norah remarked.

Joanna’s cheeks flushed at Norah’s direct words. She quickly took another sip of wine. “Norah, you’re too straightforward! But, can I really be with him?”

“It’s not about whether you can be with Duncan, but whether you want to,” Norah told Joanna. Susanna nodded in agreement. “Exactly. As long as I love the person, who cares about his status? Phillip might not be wealthy, but I love him dearly.” Both of her friends had been together with their partners for some time, so Joanna sought their advice. The response was as she expected, yet it still left her with doubts.

“Duncan may appear tough, but he’s genuinely a good man.” Norah gave a sly smile and began persuading her.

As expected, Joanna was influenced.

Susanna tugged at Joanna’s arm. “Joanna, why overthink this? If you like him, go ahead and date him. If you grow tired, then move on.” Susanna had always lived by this philosophy. She believed that a man’s affection could be fleeting, so a woman should frequently change partners to ensure she was the most loved in each relationship. Norah eyed her thoughtfully. “Phillip would be devastated if he knew.”noveldrama

“Ha, keep it a secret then. I still like Phillip.” Susanna blinked her eyes innocently.

Joanna’s expression grew serious. “Alright, no matter the outcome, I want to try. I can’t live with regrets.”

After spending so much time together with Duncan, she had developed feelings for him, increasingly attentive to his circumstances and thoughts.

“Joanna, we’re here for you, no matter what,” Norah assured. Joanna’s smile brightened. “I trust you, Norah. Susanna, what were you about to say?”

Caught off guard, Susanna shifted nervously. “There’s something I need your advice on. Phillip proposed to me!”

This was big news! Norah and Joanna immediately began asking for details. “When did he propose?” “Was anyone else around when he did?” “Given your taste, shouldn’t it have been more elaborate?”

A flurry of questions made Susanna blush. “Oh dear, you’re asking so much; where do I start? When we were hiking in the park, Phillip proposed. He said he wanted to become part of the Scott family.”

Joanna’s eyes widened at the news. “Really? Susanna, you’re so fortunate. Phillip truly loves you.”

Phillip was indeed an exceptional man, usually quite proud. His readiness to join the Scott family indicated his deep affection for Susanna.
