Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2502

Delilah answered, "Sounds like a great idea. Since it's getting cold, let's head over to a pizza joint with a hearth."

When Gabriella heard the voice of the duo, she pushed Larry to the couch and forced herself on him. Larry couldn't move away from her without touching her private areas.

"O-Ouch! I-It hurts! P-Please slow down!" The women in the yard exchanged glances, they sprinted into the living room.

"Larry!" Delilah yelled with a look of disbelief.

Larry, who was rendered incapable of motion, muttered in return, "Ms. Young."

Thrilled by the fact she had achieved her goals, Gabriella, who was on top of Larry, smirked when she saw Joan's expression.

"Joan, let's head out and buy the ingredients we need for dinner." Delilah dragged Joan out of the house once she finished her sentence.

On their way out, Joan stared dead ahead in silence. Her frustration was written all over her face. Delilah had been trying her best to console the upset woman, yet Joan couldn't be bothered at all. Suddenly, Delilah yelled, "Joan!"

Snapping out of confusion, Joan asked, "Huh? Ms. Young, what's wrong?"

"Have you heard me or not?"

It was evident Joan's response had irked Delilah. In spite of being aware of the things going on in Joan's mind, Delilah knew sulking wouldn't help when the incident had occurred. Instead, she thought Joan should pull herself together and think of a proper solution to resolve the issue.

Grinning, Joan replied, "Haven't you said we're having pizza for dinner? Shall we go get the ingredients?"

Huh? What kind of joke is this? She was the one who brought up the suggestion of having pizza for dinner!

Nonetheless, Delilah decided to play along with Joan and showed her the way to the supermarket. "Alright, let's go."

The supermarket market was packed. It was a lively scene, yet Joan wasn't in the mood to purchase the things they needed at all. Delilah gave up on trying to talk some senses into her and proceeded to purchase the things they needed on her own.

Out of nowhere, a familiar voice of a man could be heard, asking concernedly, "Is something bothering you?"

When Joan turned around and saw the man behind her, she gaped at his presence. Dustin! Hasn't he made his way abroad?

The man stretched his arms in anticipation of the woman's hug. "What's wrong? Aren't you glad I have returned? Are you still mad at me?"

He's such a jerk! How dare he show up in front of us out of nowhere when he has left us without saying anything?

The emotions Joan had been suppressing came flooding out because the man in front of him might have brought about Larry's misfortune, yet he was the one who had saved her when she needed help. "Since when have you returned?" Joan walked over and threw a punch on his chest, interrogating the man instead of returning the favor to hug him.

Dustin answered, "I have rushed over to visit you the moment the plane touches down."

He had made his way back because he was certain Della wouldn't give up on Larry just yet.

"Where's Larry? Why hasn't he tagged along with you?"

"After dealing with all sorts of things, he's currently taking a break at home," Joan replied with a diffident look.

She had no intention to tell him the things that had occurred between Larry and Gabriella. To be precise, she was ashamed to share it with an outsider. "How are you, Joan? Is everything fine?"

"Things are fine on my end."

Instead of blaming Dustin for the misfortune he had brought upon Larry, she engaged in a casual conversation with him.

Once Delilah approached the duo, she asked, "Dustin? Why are you here?"

"Ms. Young," he greeted her in a courteous manner.

She tapped on the young man's head and reprimanded, "Instead of showing up unannounced, you should have gotten in touch with us beforehand!" Dustin rebuked, "It's part of my plan to give all of you a surprise."

Delilah stared at Dustin in the eyes after taking a peek at Joan. She thought something was odd about the duo.
