Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2724

Explanation

Beep, beep...

Before Abelyn had finished her sentence, Larry had ended the call.

We're doomed! Totally doomed!

"Damn it, Dustin. Why did you have to talk when you could've kept quiet?" Abelyn grumbled as she smacked him.

What? What did I do wrong this time? Dustin could not help but frown at her words.

"Shut up when we're on a call next time," Abelyn reminded as she smacked his back.

Why do I have to shut up? Dustin could not comprehend why.

"Who was the one calling me just now?" Joan quietly asked as she exited the bathroom.

"It was your husband," Abelyn replied.

"What?" Joan stiffened.

Then, she continued, "So, what did he say?"

"He hung up on the call right after hearing Dustin's voice." Abelyn then shrugged with an exasperated expression

It was then Dustin took a few steps, about to flee from the scene.

"Where are you trying to go? Stand right there!" Abelyn huffed as she knocked his head.

"Stop it! I'm already not that smart. If you keep knocking it, I'll lose all my intellect!"

Meanwhile, Joan took her phone and retreated to her room. After clicking into her contacts, she then called Larry.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."

He must be angry! Joan knew that Larry often refused to pick up calls when he was in a foul mood. In fact, he would switch it off to stop the others from calling him.

This is terrible. Joan could only pace in her room, not knowing what she should do to salvage the situation.

Jessica just said he received a photo of me with Dustin, and now he's hearing Dustin's voice when he called me. It's impossible for him not to get jealous.

After hesitating for what seemed like eons, Joan got dressed and went downstairs.

On the other hand, Dustin and Abelyn were still fooling around in the living room.

"Joan, where are you going?" Dustin anxiously asked from his position under Abelyn.

"I'm going to look for Larry," came Joan's calm reply.

"What?" Both Dustin and Abelyn turned to look at Joan in disbelief.

Simultaneously, the two asked curiously, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I'm going to explain to him about earlier. It's fine. Continue what you're doing earlier." With that said, Joan left the villa.

"I'll send you there!"

"Don't. This is about the two of them. Why are you trying to get involved, Dustin?" Abelyn groaned as she continued to pinch and hit him. Dustin had enough of it.

"Abelyn, that's too much!" roared the man, his voice echoing in the house.

On her way there, a somber look was on Joan's face. She was contemplating how she should explain her relationship with Dustin. Soon, her car came to a stop outside Norton Corporation. Without delaying any second, she headed straight to Larry's office.

"Why are you here?" Larry asked, his tone glacial.

His tone and voice betray him. He's obviously jealous.

"I'm here to see you," Joan enunciated as she walked toward the couch by the side.

At that moment, Joan was excited, but she was keeping her emotions under control.

"What's there to look at? It's not as if I'm handsome," was Larry's apathetic reply. Oh? He's angry. Joan then turned to look at the man and smiled.

"Don't be mad. I'll explain it to you," she hummed.

If he had to be honest with himself, Larry's foul mood had dissipated the moment Joan stepped into the office.

Now, all he wanted to do was to be in her warm embrace.

However, the second he thought about the photos she had with Dustin, anger burned in his chest anew.

Despite knowing what she was talking about, Larry cleared his throat and queried, "What are you going to explain?"
