Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2483

Nancy shifted in her sleep. "Don't go, Jory..."

Jory? I'm Joan, for goodness' sake! "Wake up!" Joan shouted. "Take a good look and see who I am!"

To her left, Jessica was also sleep-talking as she neared Joan, wrapping her arms around Joan's waist. "When are you coming home, Caspian? I miss you..."

It didn't look as if she would be able to go to the washroom anytime soon. Relegating herself to her fate, Joan sat silently on the sofa and let herself be used as a human bolster. The three of them appeared peaceful and cozy at first sight, but if you looked closer, you would be able to tell that Joan was pissed.

"Ugh, I'm so tired..." After what seemed like an eternity, Nancy finally woke up, stretching her back out and yawning.

Who's the more tired person here? Without a second word, Joan glared at Nancy as she pushed her off of her.

Soon after, Jessica also let go of Joan's arm, and Joan took the chance to scramble to her feet and make a beeline for the washroom without having even worn her slippers.

"What's wrong? What's got her in such a tizzy?" Jessica rubbed her eyes drowsily.

"I don't know. I didn't even see where she was headed for."

"Ms. Watts went to the washroom, madam. She's been wanting to go for quite a while now, but couldn't because you and Ms. Zimmer were holding her back," a housemaid helpfully supplied. Hearing that, the two women burst out into a fit of laughter.

"Are you okay, Joan?"

"Yeah, Joan. Is there a problem?"

Joan could hear her friends giggle to themselves as she sat on the toilet in the washroom.

When she came out after a while, Nancy pointedly said, "Sorry for clinging onto you while I was asleep."

"How are you feeling?" Jessica chirped up.

The three of them exchanged looks, chuckling to themselves.

After helping clean up the mess they'd caused in the living room, Jessica and Joan both left Nancy's house. Jessica had to go sort out some things at the bookstore, while Joan needed to go home to help Delilah with her gardening.

"Where were you last night? Why didn't you come home?" Delilah casually inquired while in the backyard.

Joan instantly responded, "I went to Nancy's house last night. We fooled around for too long, so I ended up sleeping over."

"You got drunk, didn't you?"

"Just a little," Joan coughed awkwardly.

"Have you been calling Larry recently? Why hasn't he come home after so long?" Delilah lamented, furrowing her eyebrows together.

"I did! He said he's busy with work."

That didn't sound right. Under normal circumstances, Larry would always ask after his family and sometimes even call up Lucius, no matter how busy he was. But recently, she'd heard nothing from him at all. Delilah was starting to grow worried.

"What is he doing whenever you talk with him over the phone?"

"He used to say that he was busy whenever I called him, so I later switched to just texting him. Even then, he constantly says that he has lots of work to be done. I have no idea what he's up to either," Joan grumbled.

Larry wasn't like this in the past! He used to always take some time out of his day to make small talk with her regardless of how busy he was.

"Do you think something happened to him?" Delilah fretted.

"That's impossible!" Joan quickly refuted, having never considered the idea at all. "He's always been healthy and in good shape. I'm sure he's fine." Something wasn't right here. Shaking her head, Delilah walked out of the garden.

She pulled out her phone and immediately found Larry's contact, dialing his number without an ounce of hesitation.

Meanwhile, Caspian glanced at Larry. "It's from Ms. Young. Do you want to answer it?"
