Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2447

At that moment, Joan did not know how to reply. She wanted to tell Lucius that there was a possibility of them remarrying, and that possibility was huge. After all, the divorce back then was all an accident. However, she was afraid that once she said those words, her child would think that marriage was just a game.

"It's okay, Mom. You don't need to keep it from me. I've grown up. I understand."

She ran her fingers through his hair, feeling somewhat guilty in her heart.

She longed to tell him that no matter what, they would always love him. However, at that moment, she did not have the courage to say such a thing.

"What are the two of you doing?" asked Delilah suddenly as she walked into the room.

"Hey," greeted Joan.

"Hi Grandma," said Lucius.

"Look, I got this for you, Lucius. Does it smell good?" asked Delilah as she took out a box of baked chicken wings.

"Wow, it smells so good! You're the best, Grandma!" he shouted happily.

"Come on, what are you saying? Are you saying that I was bad last time?" she deliberately replied.

Upon watching that scene, Joan smiled slightly.

If only Larry were here too. She gazed at the dark sky outside, feeling somewhat sorrowful.

"What are you doing, Joan? Come and eat. Stop thinking about your husband. He's a grown man that went overseas. What could happen to him? Just take good care of yourself first!" said Delilah. Hearing her words, Lucius giggled.

"Grandma, does this mean that Mom and Dad still have a chance of getting back together?" he asked.

His question startled Delilah.

He knew about it? She gave Joan a questioning look but only got a silent nod in reply.

"You little brat. How do you know about everything? Don't worry, Dad and Mom will definitely still be together in the end," said Delilah as she gently stroked his hair while smiling. Instantly, there was an excited look on Lucius' face, and his mood improved greatly.

Knock, knock, knock! The knocks on the door were quick and urgent. The three people in the dining room looked at one another questioningly with complicated expressions on their faces. Who'd come here this late? Joan slowly exited the dining room before Delilah suddenly spoke. "Joan! Take Lucius back to the room. I'll get the door."

She was afraid that someone was there to purposely make things difficult for Joan. Although Joan hesitated, she eventually agreed and took Lucius back to the room.

"Who is it?" Delilah asked. The knocks became more intense, but there was no reply from outside.

"Who are you? If you don't say anything, I won't open the door!" she shouted.

Meanwhile, in the room, Lucius asked, "Mom, why do we have to hide?"

However, Joan was speechless at his question, for she could not tell him that it was just for precaution. She understood very clearly that many people wanted to confront her.

"Be good, Lucius. You'll understand next time," she replied in a low voice.

"It's me!" From outside the door, Gabriella shouted coldly.

Delilah was relieved when she heard the familiar voice but was still confused. Why does her voice sound so cold? Is she here to cause trouble? But she'd already lost her memories, so probably not. Delilah shook her head, attempting to clear her thoughts before opening the door.

"Joan!" shouted Gabriella as she immediately rushed in.

"Ms. Ward, why are you here so late?" asked Delilah hurriedly. Judging by her attitude, Gabriella was not up to anything good.

"Where's Joan? Where did she go?" Gabriella shouted coldly.

Delilah shot her a suspicious look. She was fine previously, so why does she seem like a different person now? Also, who provoked her? Was it Joan? No, that's impossible. Joan's so gentle and kind, and she'd hoped that she would never have to meet this woman ever again. She can't be the one who provoked Gabriella.
