Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1997
“Sure.” Larry ended the call.
Meanwhile, Gabriella was jumping in joy.
Did I hear wrongly? Larry actually agreed to have dinner with me? Can it be that Joan has brought up the divorce with him? Gabriella sneered while her eyes let out an icy glare.
Joan oh Joan, it appears that you have lost your charm. In the end, Larry has chosen me.
Looking out the window, Gabriella clenched her fists while emitting an intimidating vibe.
When the man beside her saw how happy she was, his heart sank. He knew that Larry must have agreed to her request. In this world, is Larry the only one that can make her happy? The man couldn’t help but sigh.
In the end, I am nothing but a tool. But I really love her.
In the restaurant, the dim candlelight, soothing music, intoxicating red wine, and mesmerizing scent of flowers, simply made for a warm and romantic environment. Gabriella took a sip of red wine as she looked excitedly at Larry.
“Larry, have you been very busy lately? Look at you, you seemed to have lost a lot of weight.” Gabriella reached out her hand to touch his cheeks.
When Larry avoided her hand, it suddenly caused her to feel awkward.
“It’s alright. I’m just a little busy.” Larry put a piece of steak in his mouth.
“Lars, you have to take better care of yourself.” Gabriella’s heart pained to see him like that.
“Gabriella, do you remember how much I have drunk at the nightclub that night?” Larry carefully probed.
Suddenly, Gabriella’s gaze turned cold.
Why is he asking this all of a sudden? What a party pooper. And to think we finally got to share a meal.
“Erm… I forgot. Why do you ask?” She threw the question back at him.
“Oh, actually, I just went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor commented that my stomach wasn’t well. Hence, he advised me to cut down on my drinking. Therefore, I just want to know what my threshold for drinking is so that I can set my limits.” Larry smiled on purpose.
So, that’s why. Gabriella heaved a sigh of relief.
Is she feeling sensitive about it? Or else, why does she look so nervous? It seems that’s the limit of her emotional capabilities. Larry sneered.
“That day… I have really forgotten. I can only remember the table filled with bottles…” Gabriella commented half-heartedly.
It doesn’t matter how many bottles there are. The more he drank the more drunk he became. Who knows how many bottles there really were? Gabriella continued to eat her steak.
Meanwhile…
“Joan, are you hungry? Do you want to have dinner?” Dustin patted her on the shoulder.
“How can we eat? Can’t you see how much work there is? Besides, why did you give them the day off? Now, only both of us are left here doing the work. We still need to wait for the goods to arrive…” Joan complained.
Dustin laughed in response.
Given that she was in the mood to argue with him, it meant that she had forgotten about Larry, at least for now.
“If you really feel tired, you should take a break. After all, I didn’t ask you to come,” Dustin mumbled.
It was true that he didn’t do so. However, she couldn’t bear to see him do everything while she did nothing at all.
In the end, she was still a loyal friend.
“Stop talking to me. I have no time for jokes.” Joan gently pounded her own shoulders.
Dustin smiled at her as this was his plan after all. He had wanted to exhaust her with work so that she wouldn’t be able to think of that fool, Larry.
However, both of them didn’t expect to run into the very people they didn’t want to meet, doing something they didn’t want to see in such a large city.
“Joan, are you alright? Let’s just go.” Just as he spoke, Dustin pulled her away.
“I’m not leaving!” Joan shoved his hand away as her eyes glared at the restaurant nearby.
Both of them were smiling happily. Larry looked chivalrous while Gabriella was dressed to the nines. Furthermore, there was no one around, creating a quiet and romantic atmosphere for them.
