Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2509

She thought if she work hard, she would succeed just like how things worked in the corporate world. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case in terms of relationships. Some men would pay no heed to other women the moment they fell in love with the one.

As Joan had been pretty indifferent these days, Larry was on pins and needles.

Slouching against the couch, Caspian couldn't wait to know the latest update. He asked, "Larry, is Joan still mad at you?"

"Mmm..."

Jessica interrupted their conversation and asked, "Has Joan figured out Ms. Duff's presence?"

"No."

Jessica couldn't help but feel anxious on Larry's behalf when she heard him. She offered, "Shall I talk to her?"

Larry murmured his reply, "You can always drop by and keep her company if you're free."

Numerous variables and unforeseen circumstances would be associated with a relationship. As a fellow woman, Joan had a huge tendency to overthink things as well.

Delilah tapped on Joan's shoulder and queried, "Why are you spacing out again?"

Joan replied with a sheepish grin, "Ms. Young..."

"Alright, you need to give yourself a break and head out for a stroll if you have nothing else to do."

I guess she's right!

After she bade farewell to Delilah, she walked out of the garden.

Truth be told, she felt dejected because things had taken a drastic turn for the worse when she thought the best was about to come.

"Ms. Watts?" When Joan heard another woman's voice behind her, she turned around and looked at the woman closing in from afar.

She couldn't recall being acquainted with her, yet the woman seemed to be aware of her identity.

Joan asked in return, "Are you talking to me?"

"Are you Ms. Watts, Joan Watts?" Della repeated her question.

How did she know my name? "Hi, I'm Joan. May I know—"

Della introduced herself, "I'm Larry's friend. To be precise, I'm his girlfriend."

Excuse me? Has Larry been having an affair with more than one woman behind me?

As she was dumbfounded by the presence of the woman in front of her, she asked, "May I know what brings you to me?"

"Can I have a few minutes with you?" Della brought up her request.

What does she want to talk about with me? Larry? Or perhaps she wants to talk about me? "I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid that's impossible because I have quite a lot of things on my schedule. If there's anything you wish to talk about, please approach Larry instead. I'll respect his decision."

When Joan was about to leave, Della got in front of her and repeated herself in a callous tone, "This is something I have to sort out with you."

Since Della was exceptionally persistent, Joan had no choice but to cave in to her request. "Alright."

"Ms. Watts, please have a taste of the tea. I made it myself" Della handed over the cup of tea to Joan.

"Thanks."

I'm sure she's an exceptional woman, isn't she?

As she started sizing Della up, she got envious all of a sudden because the woman had a great figure and could carry herself in an elegant manner.

In other words, she seemed like the perfect match for Larry. After Joan took a sip of tea, she lost herself in a train of thoughts.

"I'm aware about your plans to remarry. In fact, I know you have been keeping in touch with him after the divorce. However, I won't give up on him just yet. Please don't blame me for being frank, but I knew he was the one the moment I saw him."

I guess I can't blame you for being frank because he seems to be the one at fault for being overly handsome for his own good.

Joan stopped holding back and confronted Della, "What exactly are you up to? Do you want me to give up on him?"

"Actually, it's the other way round. I hope we can compete fair and square."

Are we really competing over a man?

"I don't think that's necessary because Larry is capable of making up his mind. He has the right to make the decision. As I have mentioned, I'll respect his decision."

I won't blame him for not choosing me at the end of the day because that's just the way things work. It's not necessary for me to force him into submission if the affection we have for one another isn't mutual anymore. Relationships can't be forced. And that's the truth.
