Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1503
After everything was settled, Larry and Joan stood up and bade her parents farewell.
“Mr. and Mrs. Watts, I still have some work to attend to at my office, so I won’t stay any longer. I’ll send the details of the engagement to the two of you for your perusal soon,” said Larry respectfully.
“Okay. We’re not worried if you’re the one handling things. We won’t force you to stay anymore. Remember to visit more often,” said Mr. Watts kindly, his attitude drastically different from when he first saw Larry.
“Larry, you must take good care of Joan and not let her get hurt,” reminded Mrs. Watts.
She continued, “Also, remember to visit whenever you’re . Although we don’t have much to host you with, we can still have a nice chat together.”
“Rest assured that I’ll remember everything that you said, Mr. and Mrs. Watts. Joan and I will definitely visit you often,” guaranteed Larry seriously. “We’ll take our leave, then.”
“Dad, Mom, go back first. We’ll take our leave now.”
Joan waved her parents farewell.
“Drive slowly!”
Mrs. Watts waved back longingly.
After both of them left, Mrs. Watts cast a glance at Mr. Watts, who was still chuckling with a silly grin on his face. She remarked unhappily, “Look at how happy you are now. You weren’t like this when Larry first came. You’re so easily influenced!”
“I’m giving the youngster a chance! Besides, Larry’s a really impressive man. You’re so delighted that you can’t stop smiling too.”
Truth be told, Mr. Watts felt a little embarrassed that he got convinced just by a few rounds of chess. It was not a glorious thing to tell everyone.
Ignoring him, Mrs. Watts rolled her eyes and walked toward the house.
Scratching his nose awkwardly, Mr. Watts followed his wife in.
While they were driving back, Joan looked at Larry and remarked light-heartedly, “I didn’t expect you to pass my parents’ trials so easily. It’s gonna be smooth sailing from here on out.”
