Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1992
“Joan, tell me the truth. Why are you in such a hurry to divorce me?” Larry grabbed Joan’s hand tightly.
What a ridiculous question. Other than the child Gabriella is carrying, what other reason can there be? Giving him the side-eye, Joan responded with a snort.
“What is it? Cat got your tongue? Do you need me to say it?” Larry snapped.
Fine. Just spit it out. I want to hear what you actually have to say.
“It’s because of Dustin, isn’t it? After our divorce, you can return to his side!” Larry glared at her.
Suddenly, Joan’s eyes burned with rage.
What is he thinking? Am I really that disloyal in his eyes? Balling her fingers into a fist, Joan’s eyes were filled with contempt.
“Larry, you started this. Why don’t you reflect on your own mistakes instead of blaming them on others?” She stared coldly at Larry.
How dare he doubt my relationship with Dustin? From the beginning, I have made it clear that we’re only friends. Until now, he still uses this as an excuse to suspect me.
“You seemed to be enjoying yourself when Dustin was hugging you that day. Don’t think that I’m unaware that Dustin has always been waiting for you,” Larry bellowed.
So what? Did I do anything to betray you?
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Whenever you are free, let’s just sign the divorce papers. After that, you can move out,” Joan asserted coldly before turning to leave.
Any broken-hearted lady would always seek a clean breakup. Ideally, they would go their respective ways and never see each other again.
She didn’t deny that she really loved Larry. It was just that she couldn’t control everything in life. Being separated didn’t mean she no longer loved him. She just wanted him to be responsible for the child Gabriella was carrying. After all, the child was innocent.
“How did it go? Did you manage to resolve it?” Dustin quickly asked.
Joan shook her head in silence.
It appeared that they had reached the end of their marriage. Sighing, Dustin felt that it was a waste.
Ring! Ring!
When Joan saw who it was, she quickly answered the call.
“Joan, are you free today? Let’s go out for a meal,” Nancy suggested softly.
“Sure.”
After setting the time and venue, they ended the call.
“Sigh, I’ll be heading out for a while.” Joan patted Dustin on the shoulder.
He gestured an okay sign to her.
In the café, Nancy was sitting in a corner, sipping coffee. When she saw Joan’s figure hurrying in, sadness filled her eyes.
“Nancy.” Joan spotted Nancy the moment she entered the restaurant.
“Joan, you’re here.”
“How are you? Are you feeling any better?”
“Mmm-hmm, I’m fine. Joan, I heard about you and Larry. What happened? Do you need to go to such extremes as to file for a divorce?”
Joan sneered. Just as expected, I suppose Larry must have called you to talk to me about this?
“We have crossed the point of no return,” Joan replied plainly.
What’s that supposed to mean? All this while, their love had survived everything, no matter how difficult it was. Why is she giving up now? Curious, Nancy looked at Joan quizzically.
“Nancy, I have made my decision after giving it a lot of thought. I’m tired and no longer want to torment myself. To be honest with you, Gabriella is carrying Larry’s child. On top of that, she has pestered me many times to divorce him.”
“I’m sure you know by now how ruthless Gabriella is. She will never rest until she achieves her goal. Instead of letting her repeatedly hurt me and the one I love, I figured it’s better that I let go. We won’t be in each other’s way anymore,” Joan explained.
