Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2041
Dustin was right. Everything was off the table with Gabriella unless Larry divorced Joan.
At the same time, Joan knew very well that Larry would definitely not divorce her.
“Come with me. We’ll go overseas for some time.” Dustin looked at her expectantly.
He knew that Joan had concerns, but he was worried that she would end up in jail if she did not think for herself. What is more important than one’s reputation?
“You don’t want Lucius to have a mom who’s a prisoner, do you?”
Suddenly, Joan’s eyes lit up.
That’s right. I should be responsible for the boy. I can’t let him suffer from humiliation.
“Dustin, I’ll consider your suggestion. Don’t worry. The truth will come to light. I believe Larry will help me find out the truth,” Joan whispered.
She knew that she could not run away no matter what. If she wanted to go overseas, she wanted to do it openly, instead of running away and being criticized by others.
Seeing that she was still so stubborn and trusted the man so much, Dustin was sad.
Why can’t she give me a chance?
In the end, Dustin gave up persuading her for he knew that it would be pointless.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Joan glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.
“Joan, what’s going on? I heard that Gabriella has lost her baby and that it has something to do with you. Are you all right?” Nancy asked anxiously.
She had been staying at home and had not gone out much, so she was shocked to learn that something so serious had happened.
“Nancy, how are you? Is your baby okay?” Joan purposely changed the subject.
She knew that Nancy was hot-tempered, particularly when she was pregnant now. Hence, if she told Nancy about what happened, the latter would surely confront Gabriella about it.
“Joan, don’t change the topic. I wanna know what exactly is going on. If that b*tch, Gabriella, dares to bully you, I won’t let her off. She actually has the nerve to say that she wants to steal Larry away from you and marry him when she was pregnant with the child of another man, and…” Nancy babbled.
Hold on. What does she mean? Gabriella claims that the baby she carried was Larry’s, so why did Nancy say that it was another man’s? Joan frowned slightly, feeling suspicious.
“Nancy, did you just say another man?” she asked dubiously.
“Yeah. She’s so shameless that she actually found a man to impregnate her, saying that she wanted to get money from her family or something. I’m not sure either,” Nancy explained plainly.
No, I must get to the bottom of this. She can’t pin her pregnancy on Larry. Gabriella has gone too far. I can’t believe that she actually did such a shameless thing. However, Joan wondered if what Nancy said was true or just her guesswork.
“Nancy, do you know the man? Where’s he now?” Joan hurriedly asked.
“Nearby my neighborhood. I’ve been very lazy recently and barely leave the house, so I usually buy clothes from a clothing store nearby and become acquainted with the people working at the store. But I think the store owner has moved out.”
What a great surprise. Nancy’s my Lady Luck. Joan got excited and became a little incoherent.
“Um, Nancy, are you free to meet now? Let’s talk,” Joan hurriedly asked.
“Sure. It’s been a while. Let’s get pizza. Jory has been controlling my diet recently. I’m going crazy,” Nancy proposed.
The two soon came to an agreement and left their houses respectively after hanging up their phones. However, Joan did not notice that someone was following them.
