Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2383

"Joan, you ought to treasure Larry. During his most difficult times, he chose to proceed with the divorce in order to protect you. And he never gave up on you even after he got Norton Corporation back." She is right. I owe this man too much.

"Enough about that. Now, look at my daughter. Isn't she adorable?" Nancy quickly changed the subject as she was worried Joan would start crying if they continued talking about what Larry has gone through. She was aware that things had been tough on both Joan and Larry. They had been through so much together over the years, but nothing had separate them so far. The only time they were apart was when Joan went missing after the accident. Thankfully, destiny was in their favor, and their paths crossed again.

"I'm sorry I could not send you my best wishes when you gave birth, as I was not well myself," Joan apologized softly.

"That's alright. I totally understand. How is your health, Joan? I heard you went through surgeries. Are you okay?" Nancy asked with concern.

"I'm fine now," Joan assured her.

After having gone through lots of ups and downs in their lives, the two ladies had matured. Their topics of discussion were no longer playful and carefree like before.

"Baby, Joan is here to see you!" Nancy was smiling as she interacted with the baby in her arms.

Joan was very pleased with the sight of Nancy looking blissed and elated.

She had finally become a mother and was no longer the wilful and unreasonable Nancy Barrymore.

"Joan, I realized a person would change after becoming a mother. I've learned so much from motherhood," Nancy said.

She was absolutely right. Women had an advantage when it came to taking on different roles. Many could instinctively become wonderful wives and mothers without any guidance. It was easy to see how they achieved that. Women were naturally more sensitive and nurturing; hence, they would make sure everything at home was properly taken care of, so their kids and husband could enjoy a comfortable life. "Nancy, you are getting more beautiful by the day," Joan praised. She meant both her beautiful face and the inner beauty in Nancy.

"Nancy, what would you like to eat today?" Jory chirped as he walked in. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"Joan is here." Jory saw her and immediately went forward to greet her. However, the twinkle in his eyes dimmed.

"The two of you have a good chat. I'll make a move now." Joan stood up and was ready to leave.

"Don't go now! We were together every day and had run out of things to talk about. You stay and chat with me!" Nancy grabbed her arms, refusing to let her go. "Yes. Nancy had been looking forward to your visit. Since you are here, do stay a little longer." With that, Jory left the room instead.

"Ignore him," Nancy dismissed as she took a glance at the door closing behind him.

Did they have a little tiff? Joan scratched her head and wondered.

"Did the two of you fight?" she asked Nancy.

"No, baby knows I can't be bothered to fight with him, right? Mommy was just annoyed that Daddy keeps secrets from me," she said, obviously out of spite. From the look of it, the two had some disagreements.

"You can confide in me if you want. It is not good to keep bad feelings bottled up. The tension will affect your child too," Joan remarked.

They fought over a small matter. Nancy was unhappy Jory knew about Dustin's sinister plot against Norton Corporation, yet he chose to keep quiet about it.

"It is normal for a couple to bicker, but don't be too harsh on Jory. You had just given birth, and he had to manage his company affairs as well, so it must be quite taxing on him." "Joan, what's wrong with you? Why are you siding Jory instead?" Nancy pouted, upset.
