Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2283

"Larry, are you not going home?" Caspian knocked on the door and ambled in.

"I'm not going back tonight because there's a lot of unfinished work," Larry replied directly without looking up at him. "Okay." Caspian sat down on the couch.

Larry lifted his head to stretch his neck after quite some time and realized that Caspian was still sitting on the couch.

"Hey! Why are you still here?" Larry asked.

"I'm waiting for your explanation," Caspian scratched his head and said awkwardly.

What explanation do you need? Larry felt slightly bewildered.

"About what happened between you and Jessica..."

Sure enough, he is asking about that.

"Caspian, you're my good friend. Rest assured that I'll never lay my fingers on my friend's wife. Besides, Jessica and I are god siblings now. So, don't worry about it. I'm waiting to attend your wedding!" Larry explained with a smile.

We're indeed good friends! Caspian's lips curled into a satisfying smile.

He knew that Larry wouldn't have any ill thoughts toward Jessica. Besides, Larry definitely wouldn't abandon his relationships with Joan and him.

"How is Joan? What does she think about you?"

Once Caspian asked the question, Larry felt rather frustrated.

It's been a long time, and I wonder if Joan is still angry at me now.

"I haven't contacted her lately," he replied slowly.

Meanwhile, Joan was tossing in bed, too high-strung to fall asleep. All she could think of was the moments when she snuggled up to Larry.

Why has he betrayed me? Why does he get involved with that woman? Why isn't he satisfied with what he has? She curled up and sobbed pitifully.

It turns out that love can't stand the test of time. Also, one can easily break the promises he makes to the other.

Why are human beings so complicated?

Why is life so ruthless?

She gripped and rubbed the blanket tightly as though she was clutching at straws.

As her phone rang suddenly, Joan wiped her tears away and answered the call.

"I heard that you'll be going on a trip with Nancy. Is it true?" Dustin asked gently and looked forward to her answer.

"Yes," she answered succinctly.

Although she replied in merely one word, Dustin could feel that something wasn't right about her.

"Joan, what's wrong? Did you cry?" Dustin asked anxiously.

"No, it's just a cold. I'll be better after getting some rest," she immediately replied.

She's lying to me again! She's a vulnerable girl deep down, but why must she pretend to be strong?

Dustin heaved a sigh and squinted as though he was pondering over something. "Did you miss your dinner again tonight? I'll deliver..."

"Dustin!" Suddenly, Joan cut in in a high-pitched voice.

"It's okay. You don't have to come over. I'm fine now and can take care of myself. Don't worry about me. Anyway, I'm rather tired and going to sleep now." With that, Joan hung up the phone. "Well, I'm sorry, Larry. I didn't get drunk on purpose last night," Jessica lowered her gaze and said softly.

Did she not do it on purpose? How could she have the cheek to say so after she changed her tea to wine? Does she think that I was born yesterday? Larry's face darkened instantly. He ignored Jessica who was standing in front of him and kept reading through the documents.

"Please don't do that to me. Talk to me," She came up to him and said in a soft and apologetic voice.

"I'm busy now. Go and talk to Caspian," Larry replied without looking up at her.

What does that mean? I'm here to apologize to you, yet you asked me to look for Caspian. Since I didn't do anything wrong to Caspian, why should I go to him then?

"Larry, are you a man? How can you be so petty? I have made a small mistake, yet you have been ignoring me ever since I got here," Jessica pursed her lips and said in a coquettish tone.

That's right. I don't want to talk to you! Exasperated, Larry turned around and didn't look at her.
