Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1962
Knowing Larry was the best thing that had ever happened to Joan. He was the reason that she learned about love, and he made her felt that she had no regret in this life.
“Okay then. Does he love you?” Dustin asked again.
Of course, he loves me! Whenever I am in trouble, he always risks himself to protect me. And when I am sad, he is always there to cheer me up.
“He does… Why?” Joan could not wrap her head around it.
“Joan, this is merely an assumption. What if Larry has another woman? What will you do?” Dustin observed Joan while anticipating her answer.
Will she leave Larry and choose me?
With this at thought, Dustin became a little emotional.
“That’s not possible. Larry will never do that.” Joan waved her hand and continued eating her steak.
On the other hand, Joan did notice Larry’s strange behavior lately. Whether eating or sleeping together, she could feel that Larry was somehow anxious, if not depressed. She assumed it was the massive company workload that had been exhausting him.
Could it be for real? But it’s really quite impossible. He said he would always be loyal to me, and I would be the only woman he ever loved.
“Dustin, did you hear any rumors?” Joan stared at Dustin cautiously.
Yes, I did. I had heard about this when I was overseas. And I found out after I came back that Gabriella is even pregnant with his child. This is unacceptable.
“Nope. I am just doing a small survey about this topic. It is common for men to have affairs. After all, who could be sure to only love one woman forever.” Dustin took a sip of coffee while hesitating if he should tell Joan the truth.
But right at that moment, Joan was about to lose herself.
Joan, I can only tell you this much today. I hope you can be ready mentally.
Dustin’s heart twitched in pain as he stared at the vulnerable woman in front of him.
He had always thought both of them could be together in the end. Even though they had been through ups and downs together, the reality turned out to be cruel.
Dustin let out a long, despondent sigh.
“Is it busier in the company recently?” Joan suddenly changed the topic.
Since Dustin was currently the second-biggest shareholder of Norton Corporation, he should more or less know about the business in the company.
“So far, so good. It has always been busy. But I seldom stick my nose into it as most of them are managed by Larry.” Dustin smiled faintly.
Initially, he entered Norton Corporation for the sake of Joan, but it looked like a redundant move right now.
“Is it? No wonder Larry seems strange recently. I bet he is too tired,” Joan mumbled to herself.
Dustin sneered and stretched his body.
In the living room, Joan played games with Lucius while Delilah was gardening in the backyard. At the same time, Larry was sitting alone in his office, going through piles of documents.
Ring… Ring… Ring…
Joan took a glimpse at her phone and threw it aside on the couch.
“Mom, why don’t you pick up the phone?” Lucius glanced at his mother with a confused look.
“That’s just a marketing call from some promoter,” Joan replied with a low voice.
In fact, it was a call from Gabriella, but Joan did not want anything to do with that cunning woman.
Joan had never had any bad intention towards Gabriella, but the latter kept betraying her again and again. Therefore, Joan no longer had any fantasy to rekindle her friendship with the latter. Instead of bearing the risk of being betrayed again, she would rather cut off this toxic bond once and for all.
Yet the call did not stop coming in, so Joan bluntly turned off the phone for a moment of peace.
D*mn it!
On the other end, Gabriella threw her phone on the floor and stomped her foot in exasperation.
How dare she not pick up my call!
Bam! Gabriella rammed her fist into the surface of her desk. Instantly, fresh blood streamed down from her fingers.
