Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2018
Men are all good-for-nothings. Joan gritted her teeth as she narrowed her eyes at them.
She hated liars the most, and that included Larry, who had kept his relationship with Gabriella a secret from her.
“Stop messing around. Why are you here?” Larry growled.
“My, Lars. Of course I’m here to pick you up,” Gabriella beamed.
At that very moment, there was only one thought in Larry’s mind. Who the f*ck told this b*tch I’m at the airport?
“Lars, you left in such a rush back then. I couldn’t even come with you. If I knew you left for a vacation, I’d have come with you. It’s only a great trip when both of us are together.” At that, Gabriella then hooked her arm around his.
“Absence really makes the heart grow fonder, huh?” Dustin commented.
Hearing him, Larry rolled his eyes at the other man. What is he trying to say? Please. I don’t have anything to do with her.
“Lars, quick, tell me where you’ve been and what you’ve done? Was it fun?”
What a clingy rat. Larry looked at the woman in front of him in disgust. Meanwhile, Joan was eavesdropping on their conversation, hoping to glean some information. However, their conversation seemed like a normal conversation between a couple.
How can Larry say he doesn’t love her? But why is he still continuing the talk with her? He knows she has set me up multiple times in the past.
Are they really in love? Is Larry only denying it? Joan averted her eyes away from them.
“All right, don’t dwell on it. We’ll think of what to do when the time comes, okay?” Delilah gently patted her shoulders in consolation.
She’s right, Joan thought. I should be happier.
The group of people then went to Delilah’s place.
“Thank you very much for your concern for Joan, but I’d have to apologize; our place is a tad bit small, so all of us won’t be able to have dinner here together. So, please take your leave.” Delilah uttered.
It was simple to understand what she was trying to say. Out of everyone who was there, Gabriella was the only one who was unwelcomed in that house. Joan sneered.
Although Delilah did not quite like Dustin in the past, she slowly warmed up to him after finding out that Dustin had genuine feelings for Joan, and he was not inferior to Larry.
What a pity. Delilah shook her head and sighed.
Reality had defeated a perfect pair.
Meanwhile, it was as if Gabriella had heard nothing. Her arms remained firmly hooked around Larry’s arm as she glanced around. It was as though Delilah was not talking about her.
“Miss, we don’t have that much food at home, and I’m sure you’ve realized it by now. We’re from the village, so we don’t earn that much. We can’t afford lavish food, so it’s best that you head to a high-end restaurant for your dinner,” Lucius said after darting toward Gabriella.
What? Is a kid trying to chase me away? Gabriella raised a suspicious brow at the boy.
Where did this stupid kid come from? How dare he speak to me with that tone? Gabriella scowled.
“Miss, you have a baby in you, so you should be taking good care of your emotions and what you eat,” Lucius continued. Then, he flashed her a sweet smile.
Right then, Dustin gave the boy a thumbs-up. Smart boy.
“Dustin, let’s leave. Look, the place is too small for the two of us. Let’s take our leave,” Gabriella voiced.
“Mr. Dustin, it’s fine. You don’t need to leave. If you don’t mind, we can squeeze a little around the dining table. But that’s all we can fit,” Lucius added.
When did this boy become as witty as this? Satisfied, Delilah patted his head.
“My, Joan. Is this your son? So he’s the kid you’ve raised. No wonder he has no manners,” Gabriella berated as she pointed at Lucius.
