Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2490

Caspian was right. Instead of sneaking away, he might as well solve the problem and leave freely. However, his biggest headache was that Della had no intention of letting him off.

"Larry, I didn't expect you to be so charismatic," Caspian teased.

Larry shot a glare at him but said nothing.

The next day, Della didn't show up in Larry's ward, which seemed rather strange. Under normal circumstances, that woman would definitely come and question them. Yet, she was nowhere to be seen. "Larry, why is Ms. Duff not here today?" Caspian asked curiously.

Larry answered, "I have no idea." He couldn't care less about it. In fact, it was good news to him, for he need not waste his energy and effort to deal with that woman.

"Didn't you call Jessica?" he asked casually while flipping through the newspaper.

"No," Caspian answered.

Larry continued asking, "Why?"

In a firm voice, Caspian uttered, "Because I wanted to make her realize how much she loves me!"

Well, well, dear Caspian is playing hard to get. As it turns out, it is not a woman's privilege to use their scheming little mind to get their crush. Men are comparable to women when it comes to getting their crush's attention.

"What if she runs away?" Larry asked, serving as a kind reminder.

"She won't! Jessica is not that kind of person!"

Larry was unhappy to stay in the ward under Della's supervision. He had asked her several times to remove the bodyguards, who were guarding outside the ward, yet the latter rejected him. That day, Larry had had enough. "Della Duff, you've gone too far!" he bellowed.

Me? Going too far? He's mad at me just because I refused to remove the bodyguards? Disregarding his anger, Della let out a chuckle. She then walked toward the man lying on the bed in a coquettish manner. Before Larry had even realized it, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, "Larry, you seriously have not realized how much I like you and how nice I am to you?"

Upon her touch, Larry roared, "Della, you should know your boundaries! Keep your hands to yourself!"

If anyone saw them just now, it was inevitable for rumors about them to spread in the hospital.

This woman is up to no good, trying to ruin my reputation!

"Della, we're not suitable together. You should replace the right guy as your boyfriend," he persuaded.

Nevertheless, Della insisted, "You are the right guy! We will make a perfect match!"

Ugh! This woman is driving me crazy! She's just so stubborn. It's impossible to talk sense into her. Larry had told her a million times over that he already had a girlfriend whom he wished to marry, yet she didn't give two hoots about it.

Just then, Caspian barged into the ward. "Larry!"

Upon seeing the two being so close together, he was thunderstruck. Is this Ms. Duff's way of playing hard to get? He couldn't help feeling confused and complicated.

Regardless of Caspian's presence, Della clung closer to Larry's body and buried her face in his chest. She then ordered Caspian, "Go on, what is it?"

As for the poor Larry, he wanted to push Della off of him, yet he can't. He was afraid the latter might pretend to get hurt if he pushed her. By that time, the whole Duff family might even make him responsible for her "injury".

"Larry, h-have you... s-succumbed to her?" Caspian stuttered as he asked.

Succumb to Della? For god's sake, can't he tell that I'm resisting her? Feeling displeased, Larry shot daggers at Caspian.

The latter kept his head down, stealing glances at Della as he spoke, "Um... Joan called just now. She asked you when you are returning to the country?"

At that instant, fury blazed within Della's eyes.

She chided, "Don't ever mention another woman's name in front of me! Larry is mine, and he's not going anywhere. No one can take him away from me.”

She must have lost her mind! Hearing her brazen claims, Larry pushed her away forcefully. As a result, the latter staggered and almost fell onto the ground. Gazing at Larry in disbelief, Della called out, "What are you doing? Why did you push me?"

Ignoring her question, Larry uttered, "Della, you heard it. My wife is asking for my return. She needs me, so I have to go back now."
