Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2197

Joan was taken aback. She swiftly regained her composure and nodded.

"Yes, I prepared it myself."

"Mm. Feed me." Larry suddenly inched nearer to her.

What's wrong with him? Why is he acting this way? There's someone else here.

"Uh, you should eat it soon. I've got other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." With that, she turned to leave.

Larry pulled Joan into his arms, and the latter immediately panicked.

As he had been away for a long time, he suddenly missed the scent unique to Joan.

"I said, feed me," he repeated.

Jessica couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and left with her lunchbox without looking back.

The sudden PDA was a torture for her to look at.

"He didn't even bother to be polite," she muttered as she stormed out of Norton Corporation.

Larry was actually putting up an act as he was fed up with Jessica.

"Alright, you can go home now. Take the food with you." The moment Jessica left, Larry returned to his desk and continued working on his computer.

What is the matter with him today? Wasn't he alright a moment ago? Why is he suddenly acting so cold?

"I thought you wanted me to feed you?" Joan asked cautiously.

Larry couldn't believe she took his joke seriously. Doesn't she know what she did? She got drunk with Dustin and spent a night with him. She also cooked for Caiden and took care of him attentively. What about me? I work tirelessly in the company, but she didn't even bother considering my situation.

I'm her husband! Caiden and Dustin aren't! Despite that, she's breaking my heart.

"I said, I'm not hungry. Take them with you," he stated firmly.

Joan knew Larry didn't like to repeat himself, so she didn't bother explaining. She wished she could explain the past events to him, but he seemed extremely preoccupied with work. "Larry, I want..." She trailed off as Larry's phone began ringing.

"What? What happened? Alright, I'll head there now. Calm down." Larry answered his phone and left his office promptly.

He was so busy that they didn't even get to talk. Joan gazed at his retreating figure in disappointment.

When will he have time for me?

The food left on the desk was now cold and unappetizing. Those were Larry favourite dishes. Joan packed up and left his office. "Hey, isn't that Mrs. Norton?"

"Yes. I haven't seen her in a while."

"Didn't you hear how she cooked for another man? She also took care of him..."

"Seriously? That's surprising. Where did you hear this from?"

"You don't know about this? She has more than one lover. I heard she also spent a night with another man drinking in a hotel room." A few employees were gossiping about her loudly.

Joan heard their chatter, but she couldn't be bothered to refute their words. Does Larry think the same? Did he believe the rumors, too?

She shook her head, trying to shake off that thought. He won't doubt me, right? After all, we've been together for years. He should trust me. On the brink of tears, Joan sniffled and tried to hold her grief back. "What's wrong? Did he clear everything? I knew he'd finish everything if you head there yourself," Delilah patted her shoulder and announced.

Alas, her guess was wrong. If only she was right.

"Joan, what happened? Why is there so much food left? Did Larry even eat your food?" Delilah's eyes widened in surprise.
