Never Late, Never Away Chapter 754

Just as Ms. Booker had her back turned to him, he scampered across the living room as fast as hislittle feet could carry him. Soon, he was out of the door. After he had successfully gone out, hebreathed a sigh of relief and smiled naughtily. Next, he was going to execute his grand master plan.“Larry, the bread is done! Come and eat. I've added in your favorite sweet corn. It smells heavenly,”Ms. Booker called out to Larry while standing at the bottom of the stairway. Unsurprisingly, she wasmet with total silence.

“Larry, come down quickly. The bread will not taste good after it has cooled down,” Ms. Booker saidas she walked up the stairs to the second floor. Alas, Larry was nowhere to be seen as she enteredthe playroom.

“Larry? Larry!” shouted Ms. Booker in a panic as she had no idea where he had gone. Her heart waspalpitating with fear. She called out his name loudly. Again, there was no response.

She searched every nook and cranny of the house, and she couldn't replace the young boy who wasunder her care. She broke down completely. Could something have happened to Larry? With Larrygone, what was she supposed to say to Mr. Morrison and Ms. Vivian? She fervently hoped that theyoung Mr. Larry was not in any danger.

On the other side, Finnick wanted some answers from Vivian. “Vivian, back then, why did you refuseto see me? But you let Benedict...

Bzzz... Bzzz... Bzzz... Finnick didn't get to finish his query before being interrupted by Vivian'svibrating phone. Seeing that it was a call from Ms. Booker who was taking care of Larry, Vivian saidto Finnick apologetically, “I have to take this.”

As soon as she swiped the green button, Ms. Booker's frantic sobs from the other end could beheard. “Miss, Mr. Larry... Mr. Larry has gone missing! I couldn't replace him anywhere... *

"What? Tell me what happened!” The moment she heard that Larry was missing, Vivian went into apanic immediately. Her hand that was holding the phone started shaking uncontrollably.

“Mr. Larry said he wanted bread, so I went to make him some. But when I came back he was gone! Ilooked for him everywhere, but I couldn't replace him!” said Ms. Booker who was clearly rattled andscared. “I'm so sorry, Miss. It's all my fault. I didn’t keep a close eye on him... ”

Listening to Ms. Booker's intermittent sobs, Vivian forced herself to remain calm. Although she wasworried sick, she could not lose her cool.

“Please don't cry. Hurry and search the surrounding areas, he might be nearby. I will come homeimmediately,” Vivian instructed while trying to convince herself that it was alright at the same time.This isn't the first time Larry has gone off on his own. He will be fine, just like the last time! Maybehe has just gone off somewhere on a whim. He's just playing somewhere nearby. He's okay. He'll beokay. I need to stay calm...

After she hung up, Vivian turned over to Finnick and said in a hurry, “Something came up. Hurry andsend me back home!”

At her behest, Finnick sped up immediately. He looked over to her with worry and asked, “What'sgoing on? What happened at home? Did someone go missing?”

“It's nothing,” Vivian replied, looking ahead with butterflies in her stomach. She chose not to tellFinnick anything as she was still unsure of their relationship. Hence, she'd better not let Finnickknow about Larry's existence.

“Vivian, just what has happened? Please tell me so that I can assist you,” Finnick asked, clearly notconvinced. She was so nervous during the call, how could it be nothing?

“It's really nothing. Please don't ask anymore. Just send me home as fast as you can,” Vivianresponded snappily. She was extremely anxious and not in the mood to keep going back and forthwith Finnick.

Seeing as Vivian was vexed, Finnick could only keep his questions to himself. However, his heartached. Did she not trust him now? That was why she refused to tell him anything. Without anotherword, Finnick stepped hard on the accelerator. Soon, his car sped ahead all of the other vehicles onthe road in the direction of the Morrison residence.

The moment they reached, Vivian unbuckled her seatbelt as fast as lightning and said to Finnick,“You can go. Thank you for driving me back, and sorry for the trouble.”
