Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2043
“Hey, Caspian, I notice that you’ve become more handsome.” Nancy let out a hearty laugh.
“Have I? You don’t regret breaking up with me, do you?” Caspian teased.
Joan gasped, but Nancy did not find it awkward as she replied, “Maybe I will if you get even more handsome.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Not knowing what was really up with them, Joan did not chime in.
After exchanging greetings, the two got Joan to join in their conversation, and they began to chat away. Nancy and Caspian had fun probably because they had not seen each other for a long time.
“Alright. Alright. You’re killing me. Let me have a drink.” Caspian then looked for alcohol but found only fruit juice on the table.
“Here. This is on the house as Nancy can’t drink.” Joan poured him a glass of fruit juice.
After a while, they quietened down and rested on the table, probably feeling tired.
Thinking about Larry, Joan abruptly looked up at Nancy inquisitively.
“Nancy, did you say that you know the store owner?”
If she really knows the man, everything can be handled easily. Listening to Joan’s question, Caspian was baffled. In fact, he was curious about their get-together at the pizza joint today.
“Yeah. We’re pretty close. I thought you knew. Gabriella, that b*tch, is so scheming,” Nancy slowly replied.
Realization instantly hit Caspian.
“What do you mean by that?” he asked calmly.
“Gabriella told us that her baby was Larry’s,” Joan stated straightforwardly.
Nancy spat out the water onto Caspian’s face.
“What? That’s impossible! Larry won’t do something like that. That’s simply impossible. The store owner is very close to me, so it’s impossible that he’ll lie to me. Didn’t Gabriella get pregnant because she wanted to get some money from her family to do some investment? If the Wards knew about her pregnancy, they would treat her well…” explained Nancy.
What’s on earth going on? Why is there such a strange rumor? The Wards won’t care about the baby Gabriella has considering that she’s been kicked out from the Wards! Besides, the Wards can’t possibly acknowledge her after she gets pregnant out of wedlock without even knowing whose child it is… Caspian let out a sigh as he found Nancy to be as naive as before.
“So everything that I was told is fake?” Nancy muttered to herself while tilting her head.
The top priority was to find the store owner whom Nancy mentioned, so as to prove Larry’s innocence.
“Nancy, do you still have contact with the owner? Can you find him?” Joan grabbed Nancy’s arms and asked anxiously.
Nancy was shocked at how concerned Joan looked.
Is what they just said true? Did Gabriella really frame Larry? Damn it. That b*tch is so annoying. He’s already married, and yet she still keeps pestering him.
“Joan, don’t worry. I’ve got his contact number. I’m gonna help you to clear Larry’s name,” Nancy declared resolutely.
As the three of them continued to chat and eat, they somehow grew tired and sleepy.
“I’m so sleepy.” Nancy shook her head, trying to make herself feel more awake.
“I’m tired too,” murmured Joan.
Caspian felt the same as well, so it dawned on him that they must have been drugged.
It could not be a coincidence that all the three of them felt tired at the same time.
Someone must be behind this.
Caspian hastily took out his phone to make a call, but he blacked out right after pressed on the keypad.
