Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1680
“Oh my! What a guileful man!” In utter disbelief, Joan shook her head exasperatedly.
Holding her hand, Larry caressed the back of her hand with his thumb. Caspian snorted coldly. “But I believe we should never sin if we don’t want to get caught.”
Just when he was about to say something else, Larry lifted his foot and stepped on the man’s slippers. With a smile on his face Larry said, enunciating every word. “Shut your mouth.”
Clearing her throat, Joan answered him solemnly. “Caspian, we’ve been friends for years, and our relationship is comparable to that of siblings. If there’s any misunderstanding, we should talk it out, so that the one who is at fault can make things right. But now I don’t even know why you’re mad at me…”
Right after she spoke, Larry added, “Caspian, you’re usually very cautious. Why don’t you give this incident some thoughts? Why did S send those photos to me on purpose? Don’t you think that the anonymous person has an ulterior motive?”
Right then, someone opened the door, and a sweet voice sounded, “I’m back! Did you miss…”
Nancy didn’t expect to see Joan and Larry here. The woman was dumbfounded the moment she saw the couple sitting on the couch. The handbag that she held up in the air dropped onto the floor.
“Why? Are you shocked to see us again after a few days?” Larry joked.
Nancy could tell that situation had changed. “No, I’m excited to see you and Joan.” With much enthusiasm, she skipped toward them and held Joan’s arm. “I’m so sorry, Joan. I shouldn’t have treated you that way previously…” The woman gave Caspian a death stare. “It’s all Caspian’s fault. He mistreated Joan.”
In the meantime, Caspian was seething with rage. Larry’s fury was replaced by a smile at the sight of his irritated face. “Alright, let bygones be bygones. Misunderstandings are inevitable between friends. It’s good that we’ve cleared the air. Don’t worry about it. We’re still buddies.”
