Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2703

Acceptance

Abelyn stood in front of Joan and looked at her with a determined and sincere gaze, as if encouraging her not to give up on Larry.

As compared to Abelyn, Joan was relatively more rational.

Previously, Caspian had already filled her in on some of the issues which Norton Corporation was facing. As such, she did not replace it surprising that Larry would choose to marry Della for the future of the company.

"From now onward, please don't mention Larry or Della in front of me," Joan said and walked out of the house.

What does that mean? Has she really given up on Larry? Seriously? Abelyn stared at Joan dubiously as the woman walked away, feeling perplexed.

"Joan, I hope you won't regret your decision!" Abelyn shouted after her friend worriedly. She also wanted to remind Joan once more to reconsider her decision carefully.

Larry needed a partner who could help him with his career, and Joan believed that Della was that woman for him.

Joan used to think that Larry had fallen in love with someone else. However, she understood everything after knowing of the difficulties Norton Corporation was facing. Perhaps, it was really time for her to let go.

Joan gazed upwards at the sky silently in an attempt to force her tears back into her eyes.

"What do you think Joan is thinking?" Back in the living room, Abelyn asked Dustin, still feeling confused.

"No idea," Dustin replied calmly.

Strange, why does he not seem worried at all? Abelyn wondered as she stared at the man.

"Aren't you going out to look for her?" Abelyn asked softly while nudging Dustin's arm

"Let her take some time alone to think," Dustin replied. After saying that, he stood up and left.

Why are the two of them acting as if nothing happened? What's going on? Why am I the only one worrying here?

"You should stop worrying as well. Joan knows what she's doing." Dustin's voice sounded behind Abelyn.

Fine then, I'll just let her be! Abelyn shook her head helplessly.

Joan had already accepted the fact that Della and Larry were getting married. She did not intend to stop it from happening, nor was she going to fight for Larry. Of course, she wouldn't create any trouble for them as well. The woman just wanted to live her life peacefully and be happy, hoping that one day, all her worries would be gone.

No one knew if Larry would really end up marrying Della. No one also knew if the problems Norton Corporation faced would suddenly be resolved. That was life, always full of uncertainties. However, whatever outcome it might be, Joan was already mentally prepared to face it.

But what Joan did not know was that Larry would never accept Della, despite the fact that marrying her would indeed give a strong boost to his career.

Larry closed his eyes and rested on the sofa in his office. He wore an apathetic expression as if none of what was going on concerned him. Jessica, who had entered his office, looked at the man and felt perplexed.

"Larry, why do you look so relaxed?" Jessica walked towards Larry and asked with a confused expression.

Larry continued laying on the sofa and merely made a sound to acknowledge her presence.

"What's the matter? Why are you here?" Larry turned to face Jessica and asked seriously.

"I'm just popping by to check on you," Jessica replied with an awkward smile. She wasn't sure if she should talk to Larry about Joan.

"How is Joan doing?" Larry suddenly asked randomly.

What a timely question! Jessica could not believe her ears as she fixed her gaze on Larry.

"She's doing pretty well. It's just that... "The woman replied hesitantly.

"Just that...? What was it you wanted to say?" Larry's guard went up immediately.

"It's just that she was very upset at first, but it seems like she has already come to an acceptance," Jessica replied softly, feeling a little helpless. The media had been reporting the news of Norton Corporation and Della every day lately. It was not possible that Joan was still kept in the dark. Larry rubbed his hands nervously as he listened to Jessica.

"She has even given her blessings to you and Della," Jessica continued cautiously.

Larry was stunned at once when he heard that.

Did Joan really say that? Did she really believe those untrue reports in the newspapers? A hint of displeasure flashed across Larry's face.
