Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2520

Della rushed to her door, and briefly explained the situation to the security guard. Then, she let Larry into the living room.

"What's the matter?" She did not see the point of beating around the bush.

It was a rhetorical question anyway. Della knew he was here for Joan.

"Why did you take Joan away? I've said that the matter between us does not concern her!" The man growled.

"How can you say that? Would you keep rejecting me if it wasn't for her?" Della retorted.

"Okay, let me cut to the chase then. Even if there is no Joan, and even if I haven't gotten married before, I wouldn't have chosen to be together with you, and it is because we are from different worlds, Della!" Della was astonished to hear him. Am I really that bad? Why does he feel nothing for me?

"Then why don't you like me?"

"It's about all feelings when it comes to love. I simply do not have any for you."

Della was at a loss for words to refute the man.

Feelings were intangible; mysterious. Some people would succumb to feelings at first sight, just like when Della saw Larry for the very first time. Some people would not develop feelings for another person despite having known each other for a very long time, just like Larry toward Della.

"Do you understand, Della? I don't think you know what love is. Have you ever asked yourself if you truly loved me? Or you're just feeling indignant that I'm not with you?" Larry continued.

Yes, Larry was right. She refused to accept the truth that Larry did not have any feelings for her. If Joan could make Larry fall for her, why can't I? She had always gotten what she was after her whole life. Larry was the ruthless reminder that her reality was not all unicorns and rainbows just as she had thought.

"Larry, I love you!"

"Do you know what love is, really? Love is when you feel happy just because the person you love is happy. Do you know why I haven't proposed to Joan? It's because I respect her wishes, just like how she respects mine. Now, that is love."

His words made her feel like she was a kindergartener bawling for candies, when in fact, she had topped all of her classes throughout her life. Why am I so stubborn when it comes to love though?

"I know. You're not deliberately trying to hurt anyone. But Della, are you aware that your impulsive acts could hurt someone? Joan has been through it all - abduction, blackmail, and even attempts of murder, but she has never once considered leaving me. Now, that is love! But she's a woman, and just like you, she gets heartbroken.

"She just wants to live an ordinary and peaceful life, but you guys keep pushing her into hell..."

Della felt her heart ache for Joan after listening to the man's words.

When have I become so vicious, and toward another woman, no less?

"Larry, I'm sorry," Della lowered her head and said in a small voice.

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. You should apologize to Joan instead," the man said bluntly.

Della was good-natured compared to Gabriella. Unlike the latter, she had only committed the wrongdoing because she had been blinded by her impulses. Larry knew that the woman did not intend to hurt Joan in any way.

"But the way you're being so cold toward me really makes me sad," the woman explained indignantly.

"I know, and I admit that my attitude toward you that day was rude and uncalled for. I apologize for my behavior, Della. I believe that you're a rational woman..."

If I had not been that rude toward her, she wouldn't have abducted Joan, right? Della's eyes shone with relief at Larry's apology. However, the woman felt guilty for what she had done.

"Release Joan right now!"

"What the hell? I've just captured her and you're going to release her already?" A man's voice rang in the corner.

"Ms. Duff ordered to release her right away," another man replied.

"What's with the chatter? Just do as Ms. Duff told us to."
