Chapter 1704 His Words
Joyce lowered her eyes. “It seems that he just came to say goodbye to me.”
“That's right. Then, he gave you that letter.” Caitlin pointed at the letter in Joyce's hands
as she spoke.
Joyce clenched the envelope in her hands again, causing it to wrinkle with a noise.
After a while, she sighed and, under Caitlin's gaze, she opened the envelope. The content
of the letter was brief, just a few short sentences. Joyce could tell that the sentences were
not coherent, and even one could tell he hesitated when writing.
From this, Joyce guessed that when Stanley was writing the letter, he either didn't know
what to write or felt it was inappropriate. He hesitated whether to write it or not, but in the
end, he didn't. What appeared before her was such a seemingly strange letter.
Moreover, the content of the letter made her ponder.
Caitlin looked at Joyce's calm expression, which was no different from usual and couldn't
help but feel relieved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoyce's expression didn't change much, meaning nothing was shocking in the letter.
In that case, Caitlin felt pretty relieved.
“Joyce,” Caitlin called out to Joyce.
Joyce stared at the letter, showing no reaction.
Left with no choice, Caitlin could only extend her hand and wave it before her eyes.
At this moment, Joyce reacted, her eyes momentarily wavered. Regaining her senses, she
looked at Caitlin and pursed her lips, smiling. “What's wrong, Mom?”
Joyce lowered her eyes. “It seems that he just came to say goodbye to me.”
“I was just about to ask you what's wrong,” Caitlin said, rolling her eyes at Joyce. Then,
with a concerned tone, she asked, “So, what does it say?”
“It's nothing much,” Joyce said as she handed over the envelope.
To Caitlin's surprise, Joyce handed over the letter without hesitation to let her read when
she casually asked. The latter had no intention of hiding anything, which reassured her.
“May I take a look?” Instead of immediately taking the envelope, Caitlin looked at Joyce
again to confirm.
Those in the Rivers family were taught that letters were something personal.
Even if Joyce allowed it, she shouldn't just snatch the letter and start reading. She had to
clarify with Joyce first, fearing that the latter might impulsively show her the letter and
regret doing so later.
Moreover, the letter was written by a guy to Joyce. As her mother, it wouldn't be entirely
appropriate for her to read some of the peculiar things in it.
However, Joyce didn't mind at all and smiled as she nodded. “Of course, you can. I've
shown it to you, so why can't you read it? Go ahead and take a look, Mom.”
Upon hearing Joyce's words, Caitlin finally felt at ease and stopped refusing. She took the
letter and began to read it.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing inappropriate in the letter. On the contrary, the content
was quite ordinary. It contained some advice for Joyce on what to watch out for during her
pregnancy. Then, Stanley's message asked Joyce to promise to have a proper talk with him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhen he returned. That was all there was to it.
In summary, the letter seemed somewhat perfunctory.
It probably seemed like Stanley's first time writing a letter, and he didn't know what to
write and finally forced out a few sentences.
“Joyce, what does he mean by this?” Caitlin handed the letter back to Joyce, her face full
of confusion.
Joyce shook her head. “I don't know either.”
Although she said this, she knew very well in her heart that Stanley had written her the
letter because he couldn't express his concern verbally and was afraid she might not want
to hear it, so he wrote it down and gave it to her.
In this way, she didn't have to listen and could read it instead.
I must admit, he's pretty clever. Besides, when he says those things, it's his way of telling
me that he genuinely cares for me and wants to treat me well. From that, I can see that he
really did acknowledge his feelings for me, just as he told Nat. He has decided to pursue
me.
At the thought of it, Joyce clenched her hands and her expression became complicated.
