Chapter 1931 Dumplings

“Looking great today, Ms. Ward,” one of the boys commented.

Gabriella turned and shot the man a look, which shut him right up.

“It’s such a wonderful coincidence for us to run into each other today. Why don’t we go grab a bite together?” she said as she rested her right hand on Larry’s shoulders.

He shrugged her off rather strongly, which left the woman feeling a little awkward.

“Is he bothering you, Ms. Ward?” The men left their positions at the door behind and approached.

Gabriella forced out a smile and waved them off.

“It’s fine. I’m just joking around with my friend here,” she said.

“I’ve other things to attend to, so I should get going.” With that, Larry turned to leave.

Gabriella watched the silhouette of the departing man fade before she hurled the thermal insulated container in her hand onto the floor. That shocked the men.

Just you wait, Larry Norton. One day, I’ll have you begging!

The woman’s gaze was scorching.

Ding, ding, ding…

Larry answered phone quickly after one quick glance at the incoming caller ID.

“Hey Larry, when will you be coming back? Ms. Young and I have prepared the dumplings. We’re just waiting to put them to pot,” Joan said.

“I miss you so much, Daddy!” Another energetic voice came through the other end of the phone.

That put a smile of gratification on Larry’s face.

He loved his life. His wife and kid would wait at home in the evenings for him to come back from work. That felt more like home.

“Hey, look what you’ve done, Lucius. You’ve gotten flour all over my face,” Joan groaned.

“He did it on purpose.” Delilah chuckled.

A warm and fuzzy feeling crept into Larry hearing their voices from the other end of the phone. All his troubles seemed to have evaporated there and then.

“You must come back quickly, Daddy,” the cheeky boy said.

“Okay, I will be right back.”

It was already dark by the time he returned home. Larry thought they would be done with dinner, but to his surprise, everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

“Oh good. I’ll go put them to boil now.” Delilah yawned.

“You’re finally back, Daddy.” Lucius stretched himself, as though he had just woke up.

Larry had to make a detour to his office when he was halfway home. He received a call pertaining to a matter that required his immediate attention. He had expressly informed Joan of this over the phone and asked them not to wait.

“Why haven’t all of you eaten yet?” Larry looked at Joan in astonishment.

“We were waiting for you. Ms. Young said the dumplings taste better when we have them together as a family,” she replied with a slight smile.

“Ms. Young.” Larry walked steadily toward Delilah, feeling profoundly moved.

“Alright. Save your mushiness for your Joan!” she quipped with a laugh.

“No, save them for me! I want to eat more today!” Lucius abruptly chimed in.

That had the entire family in stitches.

…“I’ve found him, Larry,” Caspian said.

Larry jumped to his feet. “Where is he?”

“Already here.”

Larry smirked.

Finally! The man ecstatically pumped his fists.

Bang! The door was kicked wide open.

Larry stared murderously at the disheveled man who lay unconscious on the floor.

“He’s an addict,” Caspian stated plainly.

No wonder he asked for so much money! Larry regarded the man frostily.

Splash!

The man finally came to after a bucket of cold water was poured unreservedly on him. “Who are you people?” he asked as he slowly stirred.

Suddenly, his eyes widened upon recognizing Larry.

“Why am I here, Mr. Norton?” the man asked in feigned ignorance.

Larry sneered and snuffed out the cigarette between his own fingers. He had stopped smoking for a long time. However, after what befell Joan, he kept up the habit every night until her reemergence.
