Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2217

What the heck? It turns out Jessica has a crush on Larry instead of Caspian! This is definitely beyond my expectation! I can't believe another woman has shown up out of nowhere after Gabriella! Just give me a break already!

The heavily pregnant Nancy approached Jessica and declared, "It's better for you to give up because there's nothing you can do to drive them apart. In other words, things will never work out between both of you."

It's unfair! Why do they get to live a blissful life together, yet I can't even stay by Larry's side? Why are they head over heels in love with one another, yet he refuses to reciprocate the affection I have for him? The diffident Jessica added, "N-No! I think I stand a pretty good chance! He started hesitating after replaceing out about the affair she had with another man! On top of that, he's aware of the extra miles I have taken for his sake!"

Overwhelmed by emotions and questions, Joan's eyes dimmed.

It turns out he's aware of everything all along! If that's the case, why hasn't he confronted me yet? Is he disappointed in me as well?

Jessica added, "You're the one who should give up! As someone with a complicated background and messed up relationships, you don't deserve him!"

I'm sure something's wrong with her! No one in their right mind will ever speak so blatantly! Forget it. I can't let her push me around. Once Joan gathered her thoughts, she left the private room.

"Joan!" Nancy brought herself up and went after the departing woman immediately.

As she was running up to Joan, Nancy yelled, "Hey, Joan! Please slow down! I can't keep up with you!"

She patted her chest and said, "What's Jessica's deal? You can count on me to get your revenge, but why don't you tell me everything first? What's going on? Who's the other man she has been talking about? Joan was slightly taken aback by Nancy's words, but let out a chuckle almost immediately.

Her friend could be a pain in the ass at times, yet she had always been the same sprightly person.

Confused by Joan's response, Nancy asked, "What's so funny? I'm being serious, okay?"

Joan knew that Nancy meant her words, yet she found it unnecessary to take any action against Jessica because she had faith in Larry.

No matter what happened between them in the past, Larry would never turn his back on me!

Joan's eyes gleamed with joy as she orated, "Alright, you need to calm down and prioritize your child's wellbeing for now. When Gabriella tried to take me out, Caiden put his life at stake and saved me, so I offered to look after him because his friends and family members weren't around to help him. It was beyond my expectation for Jessica to make a fuss out of it, but it's not a big deal at all. So don't worry." So that's what it's all about. But isn't that a normal thing to do?

Why is Jessica making a fuss when Joan is merely returning the favor to the person who saved her? It's not like she's offering herself to him! Hold on! She mentioned that she had a thing for Larry. If that's the case, everything makes sense!

When that particular thought crossed Nancy's mind, she warned, "Joan, you need to watch out for her because I don't think she's going to give up on Larry just yet."

Joan knew how persistent Jessica was because she had seen that woman in Larry's office almost every time she went there, and the latter would stay in his office against his will. Truth be told, she was quite impressed by Jessica's boldness in pursuing what she wanted.

"I'll leave the rest to Larry because there's nothing much I can do to turn the tables around," Joan replied with a hint of despair in her eyes.

Will he even listen to me when he doesn't even want to return home? I wonder if he has been staying away from me on purpose or if he's really occupied with his work. Joan's mind was all over the place after the meal with Jessica.
