Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2071
I naturally know that I can’t kill them, but I want them to be crippled at least! Jordan resolved.
After breaking the men’s arms and legs, the cars in front swiftly left the scene of carnage.
However, those who were left behind couldn’t lodge a police report.
“You must have suffered quite a few frights lately, but I promise it won’t happen again.” Larry hugged the woman before him tightly.
Phew! That’s great! I don’t want to live a life of misery whereby the days crawl by anymore either!
“Was that man earlier your junior?” Larry then queried inquisitively.
“Yup. It so happened that he had just come back the other day…” Joan explained.
But why is it that I found the look in his eyes not quite right? Was I reading too much into things?
Larry pounded himself on the head in a bid to clear his mind.
“Mommy!” Lucius launched himself at Joan the moment they arrived home. As Delilah looked on at the side, a rush of warmth suffused her.
It had only been less than a month, yet she felt as though an eternity had passed.
“Since you’re back, go and take a shower before changing. Then, we’ll have dinner together.” She patted Joan’s back lightly.
Joan knew that Lucius and Delilah had been extremely worried about her throughout the past few days, so she was truly thankful that she had returned safe and sound.
Dinner was a solemn affair. Lucius didn’t dare speak while Delilah kept mum; Larry merely buried his head in his food. Thus, the atmosphere became rather awkward.
“What’s wrong with you all? Are you all not happy that I’m back today?” Joan murmured.
That was the exact opposite, for everyone had been scared witless previously.
“Mommy, you know what? Grandma and I couldn’t sleep in the past few days you’ve been away, afraid that something might have happened to you…” Lucius mumbled, his eyes red-rimmed.
In a flash, tears welled in Joan’s eyes as well, for she hadn’t fared any better.
She almost couldn’t make it through those days and even entertained thoughts of giving up, but upon recalling everyone at home, she forced herself to hold out until Caiden and Jaden showed up.
“It’s okay, for that’s all in the past. Look, I’m back now, aren’t I? Don’t worry.” She stroked his head.
After dinner, she went straight to the bedroom, perhaps too exhausted from her ordeal in the past few days. Lying down on the bed, she gazed at the lonely crescent moon outside the window.
Ah well, that’s life. Regardless of whether it’s happy or melancholic, it’s all in the past. She then gradually closed her eyes.
Click. Larry swung open the door lightly and walked in. As he stared at Joan, who was sound asleep on the bed, distress flooded his eyes.
She has suffered much. He caressed her hair gently, his mood abruptly turning pensive.
Meanwhile, Jaden was playing video games on the sofa in the living room, looking exceedingly excited. Caiden, on the other hand, was flipping through a magazine while snacking on some fruits.
“Well, what are you planning to do, Caiden?” Jaden asked out of the blue.
What kind of crappy question is this? It’s absurd! Caiden ignored him, merely continuing to read the magazine in his hands.
“Hey, don’t ignore me! Say, Joan Watts is already married, so what’s your plan? Are you going to give up?” Jaden pressed.
Caiden was stunned for a moment before he schooled his expression.
Who said I’m going to give up? She’s the first and only woman I’ve ever developed feelings for, so isn’t it cowardly of me to just give up?
“We’ll see,” Caiden replied placidly.
“Well, just a word of advice from me. It’s despicable to ruin a marriage, so take it easy, Caiden.”
So what? Just because of that, I’ve got to give up the woman whom I love? How ridiculous! Hearing that, Caiden’s eyes blazed with resentment.
“Shut up and play your game! Also, you’d be better served by considering the kind of girlfriend you’re going to find, or your mother will coerce you into going on blind dates again.”
“Hello, is this Miss Gabriella Ward?”
“Yes, speaking. May I know who you are?” Gabriella’s voice was threaded with a hint of weariness.
Ever since she learned that those two women had returned home, she had been in a bad state.
“What? Why is my license being revoked? I went through all the legal channels when I registered…” She sprang to her feet, irritation written in her eyes.
