Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2472

"What's wrong, Joan? Are you feeling down? How about I phone Jessica and have her accompany you shopping?" As Caspian said that, he whipped out his cell phone and made the call right then and there. "No, no, it's okay. She's rather busy these days, so don't bother her." Joan immediately waved at him and left.

"What is it?"

A sleepy voice drifted out of the phone.

"Why are you still sleeping at this hour?"

Ugh! Why is this man such a busybody? So what if I want to sleep in? How is it his business that he's criticizing me as soon as I answer his call?

"Joan isn't in a good mood today, so keep her company, okay? Just put your work aside first," Caspian continued.

All at once, fury consumed Jessica.

What's the meaning of this? He's showing zero concern for his girlfriend, yet he's worried about someone else's girlfriend? Which of us is his woman, huh?

"Not okay!" Jessica exclaimed loudly, her voice filled with indignance.

Oh God, what's her problem now? Wasn't she just fine earlier? What's with the one-eighty change? And considering her fierce personality, I'm going to be bullied every day if we get married in the future! "Please? I'm serious. Joan is feeling down, so she needs someone to keep her company. Larry isn't back yet, so accompany her shopping and perhaps catch a movie, okay?" Caspian persuaded. Why should I? I'm feeling even worse than she is, yet who's going to keep me company? Jessica tilted her head to the side, her expression irate.

"I'm not in a good mood either," she blurted.

That sudden declaration had Caspian's heart abruptly dropping to rock bottom, and he shuddered.

Who pissed her off now? Don't tell me I'm the one who did that?

"What's wrong with you today, Baby? Who angered you? I'll teach the person a lesson!" Caspian hurriedly cajoled.

"Who do you think? Don't you know who I spend most of my time with usually?" Jessica shot back sarcastically.

Oh Lord! I'm done for! It's really me who has offended her!

"I'm sorry, Baby. Forgive me, please? I'll treat you to a meal later, okay? We'll go and eat whatever you want. Of course, I don't mind if you want to eat me," he murmured flirtatiously. Gah! He's teasing me again! Pouting, Jessica hung up the phone.

Joan is feeling down? But why? Is it because she misses Larry? If that's the case, it's no use even if I accompany her shopping! Jessica mused as she applied makeup while staring into the mirror.

"Joan!"

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell Caspian..."

"It's okay! I've got nothing to do either, so let's go shopping, followed by eating and catching a movie!" Jessica clamored. "Today is girls' day!"

Subsequently, the two women set out to have fun together.

However, no matter what they did and where they went, Larry's countenance remained vivid in Joan's mind.

"Are you missing Larry, Joan?" Jessica suddenly asked while they were in a restaurant.

I'm not missing him. Rather, I'm worried. As Joan stirred her coffee, she heaved a long sigh.

"What's the matter? Are you not happy?" Jessica pressed.

"I just feel that something has happened to Larry overseas," Joan admitted.

Huh? That's not likely, no? After all, Caspian hasn't received any news! At a loss for words, Jessica fisted her hands tightly.

"It's been such a long time, but he's not back yet. Besides, I even heard an unknown woman's voice while talking on the phone with him that day," Joan continued.

In a flash, a light bulb went off in Jessica's head.

Ah, she's worried that Larry will betray her!

She gazed at the woman before her with a probing expression, her eyes dancing with mirth as she chuckled lightly.

I never would've expected her to have such a concern!

"Don't worry, Joan. Larry isn't that kind of person. He really loves you a lot," Jessica assured at once.

Of course, I know Larry will never do anything to betray me! But who can guarantee that the women around him won't hound him when foreign women are an open-minded bunch?
