Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1825

Larry’s parents did not intervene upon knowing what he wanted for his birthday. They had learned to respect his decisions after acknowledging that he was no longer a child.

“Caspian. Have some of this…” Joan excitedly spoke up.

“Here’s a slice for you too.” She placed a slice of meat on Nancy’s plate as well.

Though Caspian and Nancy were divorced, they were mature enough to set aside their differences. After all, they were all there to celebrate Larry’s birthday.

Caspian decided to break the awkward silence by asking his ex-wife, “How have you been?”

“I’ve been good. How about you?” Nancy asked sheepishly, feeling a strange sense of guilt rising within her.

Luckily, a short round of small talk seemed to resolve the tension between the two divorcees.

“Honestly, Caspian, I can’t believe how you used to tolerate my temper in the past!” Nancy burst out laughing at the memory.

“You made my life miserable! It’s all your fault! Let’s drink to that. Cheers!” Caspian took a sip of his red wine, smiling as well.

Both Larry and Joan were pleased to see the reconciliation between the two.

Caspian might not be the most suitable husband for Nancy, but he could still be a good friend to her. When they were married, the way they interacted with each other made them seem more like siblings than lovers anyways.

“Cheers!” Nancy tapped the table lightly and raised her glass before Caspian.

After gobbling down several glasses of wine, the two divorcees had gotten really drunk.

“Let’s play a game!” Caspian stood up drunkenly, swaying on his feet.

Nancy, too, stood up and started gesturing with her fingers.

They were having so much fun with each other that they seemed to have forgotten about Larry and Joan beside them.

Larry and Joan were glad to see the both of them learn to let go of their past and embrace a blooming friendship.

Dustin, who had been observing them for some time from afar, could not help but smile while shaking his head.

Who would have thought a divorced couple could maintain a friendship like this!

Dustin sighed softly to himself.

If I were in Caspian’s shoes, I would have pulled myself away and talked to someone else.

All of a sudden, a knock on the door sounded.

Joan looked at Larry in confusion, asking, “Who else did you invite?”

The latter went deep in thought for a while before he shook his head. “I don’t remember inviting anyone else.”

Wanting to see who had arrived, Joan stood up and walked to the door.

“Happy birthday, Larry!” Gabriella emerged once the door was opened.

A heavy silence instantly fell upon the room. Everyone turned their attention to the unwelcomed guest.

“What are you doing here?” Larry stalked to the door in a huff, shooting the woman a disdainful look as he did so.

I didn’t invite her to my party. How did she even know I was celebrating my birthday today?

“I’m here because I want to celebrate your birthday with you, Larry,” Gabriella replied in an overly sweet voice.

The drunk Caspian shot a sullen glare at the woman upon remembering what she had once done to him.

He was waiting for the right time to teach Gabriella a lesson!

“You aren’t welcomed here. Please leave,” Larry ordered without hesitation.

Gabriella was dumbfounded by how aloof the man was. She thought he would have invited him in to at least have a slice of cake. Feeling utterly awkward under the eyes of everyone in the room, she took a sidelong glance at all the guests who were unashamedly staring at her.

“Are you mad at me? Please don’t be mad at me, okay? Tell me what I did wrong. I’ll not repeat the same mistake, I promise!” Gabriella inched closer to Larry as she continued, “More importantly, I want you to be happy.”

“Here’s my birthday gift for you.” Gabriella then presented Larry with an exquisite gift box.

To her dismay, the man tilted his head and looked away. “You should leave now.”

How dare he humiliate me like this?

A vortex of anger swirled inside Gabriella.

He treats me like shit all the time because of that scheming bitch!

She decided to play the sympathy card, hoping to stir some sense of guilt into Larry and everyone there. “I only came here to celebrate your birthday, Larry. But since I’m not welcomed, I guess I’ll see myself out.”
