Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2778

Confrontation

Della was slightly astonished by his greeting. Is he caring for me? A wave of joy was blooming within her heart, but she willed herself to calm down. "I'm good." Her fingers nervously clenched onto the side of her shirt.

"Last time when you went back, did you pay a visit to Mr. Duff?" Right then, Larry asked tentatively.

"Huh? Oh... nope. I didn't have the time to visit my Dad." Della immediately explained in a slightly panicky tone, as going home was merely a lie. Why's he suddenly asking me this? Or had he found out something? Della unnaturally took a sip of coffee while trying to calm her nerves.

"No wonder Mr. Duff called me a while ago, asking me to take good care of you." Larry elaborated slowly, his tone sounded extremely composed.

Who needs his care? I am fully capable of taking care of myself, okay? Della cast a complicated glance at Larry. If he really means what he says, he should have agreed to be my boyfriend. "Yes, I know. Dad mentioned it. But I'm fine," Della responded deliberately.

"Where exactly did you go the last time you flew overseas?"

Della was at a loss with Larry's extraordinary calmness. She kept staring at Larry but failed to derive any clue of his motive. Did he know about me giving Joan a hard time last time? "I went to another country for a vacation. Just taking a break from here." Della narrowed her eyes as she gazed outside the window with a dark expression.

It looks like she is still feigning ignorance. Larry took up a teaspoon and started stirring his cup of coffee. "Which country?"

Why is he so persistent? With that, Della started to feel offended. Could it be that Joan has told him everything?

"Larry, why do you want to know this? This is my privacy," Della answered with a ruthless tone.

Indeed, that is her privacy, but at the same time, it is related to Joan. If Joan never confesses about it, I would be in the dark forever about how evil this woman actually is. "Della, I'm sure you know about Joan and me. We both love each other truly. So I hope that you won't pester her in the future. Just come at me directly if you have any issue." So he's just worrying about Joan, after all. Della snorted coldly in a disdained manner. "Larry, what do you mean? What exactly do you want from me?" Della's face was now flushed red with anger.

"You know exactly what I mean. I am warning you not to replace fault with Joan anymore. Or else I won't have mercy on you due to our past relationship." Larry's temper had erupted finally.

"So are you going to end our friendship just because of a single incident?" Della was at a loss with Larry's gesture.

"Della, are you sure that it was just a single incident?"

Della was stunned momentarily upon hearing that. There's no way he could replace out about those recent incidents, is there?

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I still have some other things to do, so please excuse me." She could not bear to endure this humiliation anymore.

"Della, my last piece of advice for you. Stay away from Jake, or else one day you will end up his victim."

Indeed, Della knew that Larry's advice was well-founded. Jake had never once treated her as a friend, but just a pawn in his game.

"I don't need your opinion on who I choose to befriend. Please mind your own business." Upon saying that, Della stormed out on her heels.

D*mn it! On the street, Della stomped her heels in exasperation. How naive was she to think that Larry asked her out to express his goodwill, as the reality turned out to be far beyond the expectation?

Back in the restaurant, Larry was relaxing on his seat while casually cutting his steak, as though nothing had happened.
