Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2026
That was his sister? The light in Gabriella’s eyes returned immediately. No wonder she sounded like that.
“It’s fine.” Gabriella dusted her hands.
Good. Everything’s solved. She then stood up and walked toward the kitchen, her mood much better than before.
The man quickly stopped her and pushed her toward the living room. “What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you. It’s tough for you to cook now, so just sit here for a while.”
For a moment, it felt as though the man was Gabriella’s husband.
Stop. The one I love is Larry. I can’t change my mind. She clenched her fists, determined.
“Ms. Young, is there someone targeting you?” Joan asked softly.
Delilah did not respond.
Her lack of response was a silent agreement, and Joan knew it.
It seems like Gabriella is targeting the people around me now. Joan balled up her fists until her knuckles were white.
Noticing her action, Lucius quietly queried as he held her hand, “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
Joan only ran her fingers through his hair and gave him a small smile.
Maybe Lucius is the only one who can comfort me now.
“Mom, I have a question for you,” the boy voiced with a disappointed expression.
Then, he continued, “Are you going to divorce Dad soon? Also, who’s that woman to Dad the other day?”
No one wanted them to divorce, especially Lucius. After all, he had just gotten a complete family.
Joan’s heart sank.
Should I tell him about it now? Our relationship eventually will come to an end. A trace of melancholy darted past her eyes.
“Lucius, if Dad and Mom are separated one day, will you be upset?” Joan inquired.
To her surprise, Lucius’ eyes lit up instead.
“Mom, I just want you to be happy. You can do anything as long as you’re happy.” Lucius then hugged her, hoping that his embrace could give her strength.
His actions moved her.
That’s right. I still have many people who love me in this world. Who cares about men when I have my son?
“Thank you, Lucius,” Joan whispered.
Creak. Someone quietly opened the door.
He’s the only one who’ll open the door so carefully. Joan’s brows knitted.
When will he move out? He can’t possibly keep staying here now that we’re about to divorce, right? As Joan gritted her teeth, she decided to have a talk with the man.
“It’s getting late, Lucius. Why don’t you go to bed?” the woman mumbled as she kissed the boy’s forehead.
Glancing between Joan and Larry, he nodded understandingly before running back to his room.
“Larry, let’s have a talk.”
About what? The divorce? I don’t want to divorce you. There’s nothing between Gabriella and me.
“Joan, there’s really nothing between Gabriella and me. Don’t doubt my words because I’ve never done anything to wrong you,” Larry swore.
Nevertheless, Joan only sneered in response.
Is he still trying to fool me even at a time like this? How can he not know what he has done? She averted her face, not wanting to see him any longer.
“Why won’t you believe in me? The baby in Gabriella isn’t mine. I’m telling you the truth. We’ve found the man today. Soon, the truth will be out. I’ll show you the father of her baby,” Larry said to her.
His words stunned her.
Is he truly speaking the truth? The baby in Gabriella isn’t his? Joan stared at him skeptically.
But Gabriella loves Larry so much. Why would she have another man’s baby? At that though, Joan hesitated. Should I trust him or not?
