Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2829

Della was baffled by Joan's response and expression. Has she... lost her memories? Upon thatrealization, the former's eyes widened as she studied Joan carefully. “Joan, don't you know me?”“No, I'm afraid that I don't.”

Della stole a sigh of relief. This actually works in my favor. There's no way she will let me in if hermemories are intact.

“That's alright. I'm a good friend of Jake's. We've met once, but you've probably forgotten,” Dellasaid while inviting herself into the yard.

Whoa... This is such a beautiful place! Looks like they're having the time of their lives. Things are justgetting better and better for me!

“Please take a seat. Jake is at work at the moment. I will let him know when—"

“That's okay. I'll give him a call later,” Della cut her off abruptly.

For some reason, the woman's unannounced visit stirred up a sense of apprehension in Joan. Sheshook her head, trying to shake off the unsettling thought from her mind.

Joan invited Della to sit on the sofa, where they started chattering away awkwardly. The solepurpose of Della’s visit was to ascertain that Joan was residing at Jake's residence. Her mission hadalready been accomplished the moment Joan answered the door.

“Joan, do you remember a man named Larry?” Della asked carefully.

Larry? Who? Joan shook her head.

It seems like the odds are still in my favor! She has even forgotten the love of her life! Well, just herluck. Della secretly stole a curt laugh.

“Who is he? Should I know him?"

"Oh, no. He's a total jerk who used to pick on you all the time. It's better if you don't rememberhim,” Della lied effortlessly.

Is that so? But his name doesn't sound so bad. Joan contemplated the name.

Meanwhile, when Jake was in his office, he was notified of Della’s visit to the villa. “What? Della wentto the villa?” That devil of a woman, what does she want now?

Jake picked up his coat and darted out the door. He sped past multiple traffic lights on the wayback without any hesitation.

Soon, the car pulled up just outside his villa, but there was no sight of Della when he entered hishouse.

“Joan, are you alright?” Jake asked anxiously, holding onto her shoulders tightly.

Joan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “I'm fine. What are you doingback here? Have you finished your work in the office?”

"Oh, about that. Um, did someone drop by our house today?”

Somehow, the words “our house” sounded foreign to Joan. “Yeah. She came looking for you andsaid that she would give you a call before she left just then. Hasn't she called?”

Jake cleared his throat. That vicious woman had better not call me, or I'll give her a piece of mymind!

"Oh, maybe she got busy.” Jake held onto Joan's arm as they walked into the living room.

In another development, Delilah had been having a tough time trying to help Lucius recover fromhis trauma. And now, the man was slowly getting back on his feet.

“Grandma, Ms. Lee is taking us to the beach tomorrow,” Lucius informed Delilah without anyenthusiasm in his tone.

The boy's downhearted look saddened Delilah. "Alright, be safe while you're out there.”

Just then, their door was opened with a soft thud.

When Lucius saw that it was Larry who entered, he shot the man a quick glance before running intohis bedroom. Larry understood that Lucius was not ready to have a conversation with him, so hedecided to not push for it.

Although Delilah knew it to be an accident, she could not stop Lucius from blaming his mother'sdeath on Larry; he blamed his father for failing to protect Joan.

“Is everything okay?” Larry asked while walking into the kitchen.
