Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2024
No. That’s not it. Maybe he’s just trying to test me. Maybe he knows nothing. After collecting herself, she made a call.
“Hey, come over. I need you,” Gabriella anxiously demanded.
However, the individual on the other end of the line fell silent.
“Who are you? Why are you calling him?” A high-pitched female voice traveled into her ears.
At that moment, Gabriella’s mind went blank.
What? Why is a woman picking up the call?
Gabriella swiftly hung up before making the call again, thinking that she had gotten the wrong number.
“Hey, spit it out. I’m starting to get annoyed from your continuous calls,” the other woman hissed impatiently.
He’s forgotten about me; he’s found a new woman!
Thud! Gabriella threw her phone on the ground.
She then slumped on the couch as tears began to brim in her eyes.
Men are useless, Gabriella thought as a brutal look crawled into her tearful eyes.
“Hey, bro, there’s some weird girl who was calling you earlier. I asked her what’s the matter, but she refused to say anything. Call her back later, okay?”
“Who was it?” the man shouted from inside the bathroom.
“I don’t recognize her voice, but her name in your contacts is…”
Oh no. It’s Gabriella! Oh no, oh no. She’s going to misunderstand. The man hurriedly washed off the suds and wrapped himself in his towel before walking out.
“Wow, your body still looks as amazing as ever!”
“Shoo! Hurry up and go to work. Stop messing around all day.”
When the man checked his phone, he realized his sister was speaking the truth—there were two calls from Gabriella. A delighted smile grew on his lips.
“Gabriella, did you call me?” the man whispered into his phone.
“Yes, but forget it,” Gabriella snarled.
When I needed you, you’re with some other women. Why are you calling me when I don’t need you anymore?
“I was showering earlier. That’s why I didn’t hear my phone ring,” the man hastily explained.
Gabriella narrowed her eyes.
What the man had not explained to her was that his sister had been the one to pick up the phone earlier.
Hence, Gabriella ended the call after saying, “It’s fine. Bye.”
The man panicked.
Despite that, he thought, She must be jealous, but that’s good. She should feel a little stressed about our relationship. At that thought, the man smiled. Unbeknownst to him, Gabriella had decided to cut off her ties with him.
Stupid man. It’s all lies when he says he only loves me and me only. What a load of rubbish when he said he’ll protect and take care of me for the rest of my life. Now? Now he’s with some other woman. He ditched me!
Gabriella balled up her fists, infuriated and upset.
All men are the same. They’ll leave after sleeping with the woman. With a sneer, the woman then shut her eyes.
Knock, knock.
The knockings outside the house were rapid and urgent, but Gabriella was already asleep in the living room.
“Open up, Gabriella! I’m here. Weren’t you looking for me earlier?” the man shouted from outside.
Not known to the two, Caspian was watching them from afar.
“Larry, that man’s here again, but Gabriella isn’t opening the door this time.”
He finally appeared again. Larry’s lips curled.
With this man around, everything will be sorted out.
“Keep a close eye on him and find out who this man is,” Larry commanded.
Only after a long while of knocking, then did Gabriella groggily went to open the door.
“Why did you keep knocking on the door? Didn’t you realize that I’m sleeping? You’re annoying,” Gabriella complained.
