Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2319

"Oh, please... There's no way he would hurt her! They're husband and wife, for crying out loud!" Jessica mumbled softly.

"Come on, I'll send you home. It's too dangerous here," Caiden said, reaching for Joan's hand. The two left the scene without looking back after that. Larry came out of the washroom after quite some time, looking haggard and weary.

Jessica immediately ran over to him and asked curiously, "Hey, what happened? Where were you? How did your conversation with Joan go?"

The man simply kept quiet and walked away.

"Well? Say something, Larry! What's gotten into you? Pull yourself together!" she shouted, smacking him on the shoulder.

"Leave me alone. I'm going home..."

With that, Jessica could only stand and stare at Larry as he slowly disappeared into the distance.

"Leaving so soon, Joan?" Nancy asked as she suddenly appeared in front of the woman.

"I know, right? The party has only just begun!" Jory chimed in with a smile.

Joan had an awkward look on her face as she shifted her gaze between Caiden and the two of them.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to head home now. You guys enjoy the evening, okay?" She then grabbed Caiden by the arm and ran off before Nancy could respond. "What happened? Why did she leave in such a hurry?" Nancy grumbled.

"What do you think happened? She must've gotten into a fight with Larry!" Jory replied.

Joan cried her heart out in the room that night. Lucius had fallen asleep long ago, but Delilah heard her crying when she passed by her door.

"Open the door, Joan!" Delilah shouted while knocking on the door.

Joan quickly wiped her tears dry and tried to regain her composure, but the pain was simply too much for her to suppress.

Delilah continued, "I heard you crying, so don't bother trying to hide it!"

She knew Joan was trying to calm herself down before facing her.

The weeping woman got up and opened the door upon hearing that.

"What happened? Did you two get into a fight?"

Larry's probably the only guy capable of hurting her like this!

"It's nothing, Ms. Young. I just had some sand in my eye, that's all. Why are you still up so late?" Joan replied.

Who is she trying to fool? Me? Or herself? Delilah simply smiled at her in response and sat beside her on the bed.

Just like that, the two of them sat there staring at the moon in complete silence.

Perhaps a few minutes of silence was exactly what Joan needed.

"Are you happy?" Delilah turned around and asked worriedly all of a sudden.

I've witnessed how lovey-dovey and sweet the two of them can be, but I see no trace of happiness on Joan's face right now. If a married couple replaces it difficult to face each other and communicate properly, their marriage has come to an end. Man, life sure is full of surprises... Some couples remain just as sweet after marriage, and some become the complete opposite. Such marriages are proof of how drastically people can change.

Joan lowered her gaze and replied with a trembling voice, "I don't know..."

She wasn't happy, but she didn't dare admit to it as she feared that would mark the end of her relationship with Larry. She didn't want to leave him, but she didn't know how to face him either.
