Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2390

Damn it, Dustin! How much more brutal can you get? First, you tried to destroy Norton Corporation and my career Now you're trying to take Joan away? It looks like everything's planned out!

"Joan Watts!" Larry roared, staring at the man and woman that were approaching the doorstep.

Joan jolted on Dustin's back but quickly resumed her unconscious state, closing her eyes once again.

"She's drunk," Dustin explained. So? You're the one that made her drink so much.

Larry was certain that Joan was not the sort that would easily drink outside. She knew how low her alcohol tolerance was. There was only one explanation for her being in her current state, and it was the doing of the despicable man in front of him.

"What happened here?" Delilah came out to help Joan into her room. "Why did she drink so much all of a sudden?"

While Delilah moved Joan to her room, Dustin was in the living room. He took a glimpse at Joan's room before looking at Larry. Then, he shrugged with a smile on his face and got ready to leave.

"I heard you're leaving the country?" Larry spoke. His voice was unnaturally loud.

"That's right." Dustin's answer was brief yet firm.

"I hope you'll behave yourself," Larry added. Dustin snickered when he heard that, immediately leaving the living room.

Truth be told, he had been behaving himself all those years. Now, Dustin only wanted to live his life without being shackled by rules and etiquette. We don't live that long. It'd be a shame if I don't enjoy life while I'm young. I don't want to have only painful memories to remember when I'm old.

Dustin responded with a "Thank you" and left without looking back.

The next day at the airport. Dustin was alone with his luggage, taking in his surrounding for the last time, trying to remember everything in this city. He could still see Joan Watts' silhouette, engraved at the back of his head.

"Have a safe trip!" Jory exclaimed as he popped out in front of Dustin from nowhere.

Jory, his one and only buddy, was the only one who came to send Dustin off.

Dustin made it clear with the employees that the farewell dinner was their last meeting. He did not want them to come to the airport as it would only make things more sorrowful.

"Thanks. You take care too," Dustin replied, smiling.

"Will you still come back?"

Jory's question was something Dustin had to ponder about. He never actually gave it any thought. Dustin was really exhausted. He did not want to continue living for someone else but his own life instead. Joan, on the other hand, was staring blankly into the blue sky.

Eventually, a plane flew by in her view. It was the plane Dustin was on.

Then, Larry came along and wrapped his hands around her. "What's wrong? Something happened?" he asked softly.

"It's nothing," the woman answered in a similar tone.

Larry knew she had something on her mind as it was written all over her face. Why are you still denying it? He raised his right hand and gave Joan a light pinch on the face. It was an endearing gesture laced with some of his anger.

He was angry at her for not being truthful to him, but he would also forgive anything she did out of the love he had for her. After all, Dustin has left.

"Joan. Let's get married!" Larry rested his head on her shoulder.

The statement stumped Joan and snapped her back into reality, straightening her clothes.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?" She was a bit embarrassed.

The question seemed redundant to Joan. But then, Larry kissed her forehead, making an effort to show her his affection.

He never wanted the divorce in the first place, so it was only normal for them to remarry.

"Mom... "Lucius suddenly came in.

He was astonished to see what was going on.

"I'm sorry. You guys continue," he said awkwardly, with a nosy expression.

"Lucius!" Joan broke free from Larry's embrace and exclaimed.

"What is it? Do you need anything?"
