Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1502

“Sure, Mr. Watts. Whatever you say,” said Larry as he walked out of the study with a smile.

“Come, sit over here! Don’t stand on ceremony at home,” invited Mr. Watts as he beckoned him over.

“Please, take your seat first, Mr. Watts.”

Both men sat down together. The atmosphere was so harmonious that it barely seemed like they had just met. The hostility Mr. Watts showed earlier had also disappeared.

Looking at how amicable they were with each other, the mother and daughter pair was stunned.

What’s going on? They were acting so awkward with each other earlier… Why did they suddenly become friendly now? They glanced at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Both of them shook their head simultaneously, not knowing what had gotten into the men.

“Joan, bring two glasses over. I’d like to have a good drink with Larry.” Mr. Watts was in high spirits.

“Oh, okay.”

Although Joan did not know what had happened, she felt relieved that her father was treating Larry nicely. She turned around and headed to the kitchen to grab two glasses.

“Larry, I’ve kept this bottle of wine for five years, it’s my prized possession. Since I’m in such a great mood today, let’s drink up!” said Mr. Watts as he brought a bottle of wine out of the room.

Larry quickly stood up and poured a glass of wine for both of them. Then, he picked the glass up, sniffed it, and praised, “This is an amazing wine. Your taste is definitely much more superior than mine, Mr. Watts.”

After receiving that compliment, Mr. Watts was delighted. He exclaimed happily, “You’re not so bad yourself either, having made a name for yourself at such a young age. I’m glad that Joan is together with you.”

“Darling, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Mr. Watts’ abnormal behavior caused Mrs. Watts to feel slightly worried. It’s fine that he has a bad temper, but what’s with his weird attitude now? Could it be his brain fried itself or something?

“What are you talking about? I’m fine! In fact, I’m in an extremely good mood today!”

“But I thought you were reluctant to let your daughter get married? You were still angry earlier!” asked Mrs. Watts, unable to hold herself back any longer.

“Initially, I was a bit upset and afraid that my daughter would not have a good life with Larry. However, I changed my mind. After having a few rounds of chess with Larry in the study, I realized what kind of a man he is.”

“What?”

Both Joan and Mrs. Watts were even more confused after listening to his explanation. They thought that something had happened, but it turned out that Mr. Watts merely had a few rounds of chess with Larry.

“What can a game of chess tell?”

Mrs. Watts was a bit unconvinced. “He managed to change your mind with just a few rounds of chess? I thought that you’d be a stubborn man to convince?”

“Hmph! What do you know?”

Mrs. Watts’ mocking tone stirred Mr. Watts up. “You can judge a person’s character and temper by how he plays chess! Larry’s moves are very strategic, yet open. He doesn’t play any underhanded tricks at all. It’s obvious that he’s a righteous and kind man. Naturally, I won’t be worried to entrust Joan to someone like him.”

Joan and Mrs. Watts could not grasp what he was trying to say. However, both of them knew that Mr. Watts had finally approved of Larry.

Not only did he approve of Larry, but he was also very pleased.

Hence, the mother and daughter duo felt relieved. Now that Mr. Watts had no objections, Larry and Joan’s marriage could finally be settled.

Joan asked, “Dad, there’s something that I need to tell you. Mom has already agreed to it, but I’d still like to ask for your opinion.”

“Are you talking about your engagement with Larry?” asked Mr. Watts with a chuckle.

“Larry already told me about it when we were playing chess. Since I said that I trust Larry, I’ll let him settle the time and details of the engagement.”

Joan was still stunned by her father’s drastic change in attitude. However, now that everything could be settled nicely, everyone was pleased.

The family started to eat harmoniously, chatting along the way. It was truly a heart-warming scene.

After eating, Larry and Joan lingered around for a long time.

Although Mr. Watts said that Larry should handle everything, there were still some important aspects that would need to be discussed.
