Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2387

"Where have you been?" Larry asked gently as he saw Joan walking into the living room. He actually saw what happened in the park.

"I went out for a stroll," Joan answered.

She did not talk about what happened between her and Dustin because she did not want to annoy Larry.

"Where did you go?" He probed.

"The park." There was no explanation, so Larry looked towards Joan, waiting for one.

Nevertheless, Joan said nothing and went straight to her room.

Is she in a bad mood because she feels guilty? Or is it something else?

"Dinner's ready!" Delilah announced from the dining room.

"Coming!" Lucius exclaimed as he hurried out his room.

"Where's Joan? Is she still out?" Delilah asked.

As though she heard her, Joan shouted from her room, "I'm skipping dinner!"

What happened here? Did something happen between her and Larry? Delilah's gaze shifted from Joan's room to the man in front of her as suspicions filled her mind. "She's just a bit tired today," Larry quickly explained.

"Dad, why's Mom tired?" Lucius asked with a soft tone.

Larry patted Lucius head. "Your mother is a little busy recently."

Is that so? I didn't hear anything about any event happening at the supermarket, though. Despite the thought in mind, Lucius lowered his head and went on with his meal. Meanwhile, Delilah added more food to his plate. "Eat up, Lucius. Your exams are coming up soon, so you need all the energy you can get." She attempted to change the subject. "It's been freezing recently. Don't forget to put on more clothes," she continued.

On the other hand, Joan was standing at the window in the room, looking out at the pitch-black sky, lost in her thoughts.

Besides Larry, Dustin was another person she trusted the most. She felt heartbroken to think that Dustin would treat her like that.

"Joan. What happened between you and Dustin?" Nancy called Joan on the phone.

"Why did you ask?" Joan responded with a question of her own.

"Jory told me that Dustin is leaving soon. I think he said he was going overseas."

Is it because of what happened? The thought made Joan shudder as her heart sank.

Is our friendship going to be over, just like that?

Right then, Larry opened the door. "What's wrong? Are you really not eating?" he asked.

"I'm not hungry."

Hearing that, Larry's heart ached as he looked at the fatigued expression Joan wore on her face.

"Did something happen?" he asked deliberately, trying to get Joan to come forward.

"It's nothing," Joan muttered.

That was very straightforward. What is she trying to hide? Larry scanned her from head to toe like he was anticipating something more. "Joan, did you forget something?" Larry asked out of the blue.

Joan was caught off guard as she did not know what the man in front of her was referring to.

"Not that I know of," she denied. Larry figured she was not going to tell him anything no matter what, but he continued probing.

"Did Dustin contact you recently?"

"He did." Joan's answer was brief. Having said that, there was no more follow-up as Joan left the room.

What is she trying to hide? Larry looked at the woman from upstairs, flustered.

"Mom, Grandma kept some food for you in the kitchen," Lucius' voice echoed from the living room.

"Alright. Got it." Joan replied immediately.

The next morning, Larry woke up early and headed to the company. Delilah worked in the garden, and Lucius went to school, so Joan was the only one left in the house.

After what happened between Dustin and her, Joan decided to quit the job at the supermarket. Hence, she sent Dustin a text informing him that she would no longer go to work. At the supermarket. "Mr. Silverman, are you really leaving? We'll all miss you," an employee said as she cried.
