Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1620

“As a matter of fact, I do have a favor to ask you,” Larry laughed lightly as he continued.

“Well, you can just tell me directly if there’s anything I can help with. You’ve contributed so much to the college; it’s our pleasure if we can return some favor.”

Jesson laughed as he was glad to be able to help Larry as well.

“My wife, Joan used to study in Bainewich College as well, but she was severely ill back then and had no choice but to drop out of college to treat her illness. She also didn’t manage to complete her studies. Now, she’s hoping to return to college to complete her education. I wonder if you can help fulfill this dream of hers?” Larry spoke very tactfully in a pleading tone. In fact, he knew very well that Jesson would definitely help in this matter.

“Ha, and I thought what a big deal it was. You can just be frank with me if that’s what you want—allowing your wife to continue her studies. That’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for that, and your wife would be able to come back to college soon,” Cordially, Jesson answered. For him, it wasn’t a bad thing to make Larry indebted to him at all.

“Oh, right, Larry, when did your wife withdraw from college? I can talk to the relevant professor right away,” Jesson added.

“Thank you, Jesson.” Larry replied appreciatively, “My wife dropped out of college during her second year.”

“Alright, let me get to it immediately. Anyway, Larry, there’s something you overlooked in this matter. How can you not inform me of your wedding? Are you looking down on me?” Jesson pretended to be displeased.

“Jesson, that’s simply not true. I was worried that you’d be occupied. That’s the reason I didn’t trouble you with it. Well, why don’t we have a meal together someday? Let Joan and I take you to dinner to make up to it.”

Larry had met all kinds of people, so as he heard that from Jesson, he knew exactly what Jesson was thinking.

“Haha, sure. It’s settled, then!”

…

A few days later, they received news from Bainewich College that asked Joan to return to the college before the new term started.
