Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2025
The man awkwardly scratched the back of his head and mumbled, “Gabriella, you were asleep? I’m sorry. Did I disturb your rest?”
Right then, Gabriella sobered up.
Wait. Why is he here? Didn’t he use to call me before he comes?
“Wait. How long have you been standing here?” Gabriella hastily surveyed her surroundings with anxious eyes.
“Quick! Come in.” She dragged him in.
Darn it. No one’s following him, right? Gabriella had found out that Caspian was following and investigating her for some time. It’ll be over for me if Caspian finds out about this man. Thus, Gabriella scurried to the balcony and looked downwards.
Good. There aren’t any cars that I don’t recognize downstairs. She heaved a sigh of relief at that revelation.
“Didn’t we agree that you won’t come over unless you call? What if something happens because you break that rule? What’s wrong with your brain?” Gabriella punched the man’s chest.
Hold on. I should be angry at him. Almost immediately, Gabriella strode toward the couch and lay down.
How shameless is he to come to me? She scoffed.
All men are playboys and dishonest people, including this one.
However, Larry was the only exception. He had loved Joan for so many years, and not once had he ever thought of giving up on her. In fact, she was the only person he would ever think of.
At that moment, Gabriella found herself feeling envious of Joan. Even though the latter had no money, talents, nor intellect, she had a man who loved and took care of her without ever thinking of giving up.
“Gabriella, I missed you,” the man whined as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Ever since Gabriella was pregnant, the two only met in secret. They could not hold hands in public nor go on dates. It was fine in the beginning, but as time passed, the man grew agitated.
“Don’t touch me!” Gabriella flung his arm off her.
What’s the matter with her? Why is she angry? The man studied her carefully, confounded by her strange behavior.
“What’s wrong? Are you in a foul mood today? Come, let’s have a walk.” With those words out of his mouth, the man moved to pull her to a standing position.
“I’ve told you not to make me mad! You disgust me,” Gabriella shouted.
Her words made the man freeze.
What? It’s true that I look like some playboy, but I’ve never laid a finger on another woman other than her. To take care of Gabriella, the man did not even visit bars and other entertainment venues that he usually went to. But now she’s saying I disgust her?
“Gabriella, what are you trying to say? I called you earlier, but you seemed to be in a bad mood. I thought you were feeling unwell, and that’s why I rushed to your place, hoping to be able to do something for you. How can you treat me in this way? That’s right. I love you; I really do. But I’m a man, and I have my dignity too. I’m nice to you, but that doesn’t mean you can treat me horribly for that,” he bellowed.
How can he sound so righteous after messing with another woman? Who gave him the right to?
Gabriella turned grim when she heard his loud volume.
“Don’t you already have someone else? What a joke. Why are you here when you can’t even resolve your own problems?”
What the hell? What does she means by someone else? Why don’t I know about it?
“Gabriella, did you make a mistake? I don’t have anyone else. Ever since you were pregnant, I haven’t been in touch with any other women,” the man explained as he tapped her shoulders.
Liar. Why can’t he just admit it? Maybe I’d have forgiven you if you were honest. But even now, you’re still lying to me.
He’s the same as all other men!
“Gabriella, I think I need to explain something to you. When I was showering, my sister was the one to pick up the call, so don’t dwell on that,” the man voiced as he scratched his head.
