Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1984
Sensing Dustin’s movements, Joan gradually opened her eyes.
“You’re awake. I’ll go get you some water.” She stood up.
Suddenly, Dustin grabbed her hand forcefully, not allowing her to leave.
“I’m not thirsty. So, don’t go.”
Joan could feel the compelling strength behind his words. As she gradually took her seat, she stared at him with a sympathetic expression.
“I’m really sorry about yesterday. Luckily, your injuries weren’t serious. Or else, I wouldn’t know how I’ll ever be able to face you again.” Joan gave him a guilty look.
However, he had hoped that something bad actually happened to him so that she would remember him for life.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will dare harm you.” Dustin’s voice was raspy.
Joan looked at Dustin without saying a word. Larry is the man I love the most. However, Dustin is the one I’m supposed to treasure. He has changed a lot and is now more matured.
“How are things between you and Larry?” Dustin asked.
How else can it be? In the end, the only choice is divorce. She had made up her mind. Once they were divorced, Larry could move out of Ms. Young’s house and they would never see each other again.
“Joan, perhaps the matter isn’t what we imagine it to be. I used to detest the fact that both of you are together because of my feelings for you. But now, I feel that you will only be happy when you’re with him. There must be a misunderstanding,” Dustin replied softly.
He had long accepted that Joan only loved Larry, but he still held a grudge over the car accident previously.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Joan’s eyes.
The truth was right in front of her in the form of Gabriella’s bulging stomach. How is that a misunderstanding?
“Let’s drop the topic. Don’t worry, the matter will be resolved soon. I know you are concerned about me. However, some things are beyond our control.”
Sometimes, all we can do is resign ourselves to fate. If it’s meant to be, then there will be no point defying fate. Just go with the flow. Every day is filled with surprises. They can either be good or bad. As time goes by, we will just be desensitized to all these shocks.
When her phone suddenly rang, she ended the call after she saw who it was. Looking at her, Dustin wanted to say something but decided against it.
Forget it, I’ll just let her be. He then looked away and out of the window.
“Haven’t you found her yet?” Larry roared as if his eyes could spit fire.
“Larry, don’t worry. Joan will be fine,” Caspian quickly reassured him.
“Mr. Norton.” Suddenly, a man barged into the room with an anxious look on his face.
“Yesterday, Mrs. Norton was seen with Ms. Ward,” the man reported softly as he looked at Larry fearfully.
“Where?” Larry turned around and walked up to the man.
“At the restaurant. Both of them met for a long while before Mrs. Norton left.”
Gabriella again…
Bam! Larry slammed his fist into the wall, causing his knuckles to bleed.
“Larry, give Gabriella a call.” Caspian handed Larry his phone.
“Hello, Lars?” Gabriella’s coquettish voice sounded.
“Gabriella! What have you done to Joan? She better be safe or else I’ll never forgive you!” Larry’s thundering voice stunned Gabriella.
“Lars, what are you talking about? Both of us only shared a meal and reminisced about old times. What can I possibly do to her?” Gabriella explained in an innocent tone.
“Joan, where have you been? You’ve frightened us!” Delilah grumbled.
“Oh, something came up.” Joan smiled awkwardly.
