Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1799
“Okay, now that you’re alright, just find yourself a place to stay. I’ll get going first.” Joan turned on her heels to leave.
“Joan, where are you staying?” Dustin asked warily.
I’m out of my mind if I tell this man where I’m staying.
“Just, someplace. Alright, I have something on. I need to leave.” Joan turned around to leave right after.
It was time for her and Larry’s daily phone call. Even though they were physically apart, the distance was not a problem for them to keep in contact with each other every day.
This has to be love.
However, deep down, Joan felt like there was something wrong somewhere. She just did not know what it was. Waves of insecurities would just hit her with no apparent reason sometimes. It all started after she had gone out of the country.
“Larry, are you eating properly? You’ve lost weight,” Joan teased as she looked at Larry on the screen.
“No worries. I’m alright. What about you? Are you doing alright then?” Larry stared longingly at the woman on his screen.
“I’m doing good. The air is really clean out here. This place is really suitable for a vacation. I’m always out for the sea breeze,” Joan said mischievously.
Joan would only show her carefree side to Larry, as she knew she could be herself in front of him.
“Larry, be honest with me. Are women chasing after you while I’m gone?” Joan asked deliberately.
He was Larry Norton after all. Tall, handsome, charismatic, gentleman, all in all – the perfect wholesome package. Women flocked to him like bees going after honey. Besides, she was not by his side, and those women might start getting some ideas, especially Gabriella. The woman was coveting Larry more and more, even after being rejected multiple times by him.
“No, there are no women. There is only one woman, however, and it’s you.” Larry grinned.
Larry had not even thought about another woman after getting together with Joan.
“Okay, it’s getting late. You have to get some sleep.”
