Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2375

Jessica instantly perked up when she heard that.

"Really? Quick, put the call on speaker. I wanna say a few things to Joan. Are you done? Am I on speaker now? Okay, I'll begin now! Joan, I owe you an explanation about what happened before. Yes, I admit I had wanted to pursue Larry initially because I found him to be a very capable and outstanding man, but it was only sisterly love I felt for him. We see each other as siblings, so of course, there's nothing going on between us. Don't be mad anymore, okay? You're still the woman Larry loves the most. He's never cheated on you with another woman either..."

While Jessica earnestly described everything in detail, Joan listened intently with a cautious look in her eyes.

Meanwhile, everything in the ward had reached the ears of the man outside the door.

His name is Larry? He's the president of Norton Corporation? So perhaps he's a Norton? Jake clutched the thermos flask in his hand as his lips curved into a vague smile. Then, he walked away.

Abigail hastened over right then and asked, "Hey, Jake. Aren't you going in?"

"Oh. There's someone else inside. I don't wanna disturb them." With that, he left.

At least he's not without sense. Abigail shrugged her shoulders as she watched the figure at a distance.

Then, she entered the room without knocking and queried, "What are you both up to?"

"Nothing. We just talked on the phone earlier," Larry answered, looking unusually calm.

However, the woman on the bed was the exact opposite.

She was under the impression that Larry had cheated on her with Jessica, and that they were officially together. However, It turned out that everything was just a misunderstanding.

Jessica probably felt that her explanation wasn't clear enough because after Larry hung up, she called several times, wanting to eliminate all of Joan's worries and doubts.

"I'm telling you, Joan. Larry has always been a man of his word. Since he said he only sees me as a sister, you can trust that he really means it. Besides, he's like family to me too. And rest assured, I've never had indecent thoughts about him either..." Jessica laid it all out.

Listening to everything Jessica said, Joan suddenly felt like she had severely misunderstood Larry.

Seeing that Joan had finally known the truth, Larry kept gazing at her with an expectant look, hoping that she would finally give him the love he so craved.

"That's enough. I know I was wrong, okay?" Joan coaxed the man in a gentle voice.

"Then, can I get a kiss?" Larry offered his cheek out in emphasis.

Is this really appropriate? Joan looked around and at the speed of lightning, leaned forward to leave a chaste kiss on the man's cheek.

"Are you still mad?" he asked.

"No. It's all my fault for losing my temper and giving you the cold shoulder before figuring out the situation..." Joan bowed her head and admitted her mistake. After a brief pause, she blurted out, "But you doubted me too."

Larry failed to smother his chuckle.

How can she be so adorable?

"I know that you, Dustin and Caiden are just friends."

With Jessica's clarification, Joan was visibly much happier as she felt the knot in her chest loosen.

Finally, the misunderstanding between the two of them was resolved.

"Okay. Let's go home then." Before she knew it, Larry had started packing her things.

How can he be so bossy? Don't I have a say in this? Although Joan was dissatisfied by his behavior, she wasn't angry.

"Are you really leaving, Joan?" Jake walked in just then and stared at her longingly.

How could I forget? I'll be leaving a friend behind.

Feeling regretful that she was parting with her new friend, Joan walked up to him and said, "Yes, Jake. I'm going home. Take care of yourself, okay?" Standing beside them, Larry was hit by a wave of jealousy when he witnessed this scene.

"Who is he?" Jake deliberately asked Joan.

"He's-"

"I'm her husband," Larry cut in and answered for her.
