Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1816
“What is it? Are you saying I wronged you?” Larry’s eyes burned in wrath.
His remark caused Joan to fall into silence. It was true that she had been with Dustin for the past few days. But nothing had happened between them.
“It’s not what you think it is, Larry,” she began anxiously, wanting to explain herself.
The man smirked when he noticed her anxious state and nodded condescendingly. “Fine. Tell me what’s going on then.”
Joan did not know where to start now that he had suddenly asked her to speak her mind.
“What’s the matter? You don’t have anything to say? I’ll speak for you then. You guys went hiking together and even stayed in the same room after that. Both of you had loads of fun at the beach while playing volleyball together.”
Larry turned his back toward Joan as he delineated every single thing they did together.
Joan’s expression turned grim as she listened to him speak with such wrath in his tone.
There was no way he could recount everything in great detail.
“You had me followed?” she asked.
Larry looked back at her, disheartened.
He had believed her all this while. He had not sent anyone to tail her this time, but all the photos on Twitter said it all. The pictures Gabriella showed him were enough to fill him in on everything the woman he loved had been doing.
“Yeah, I did. I sent someone to stalk you. I wouldn’t have known you guys had a thing if I hadn’t sent someone to spy on you!” Larry blustered out of control.
Joan’s face shows a look of equal disappointment.
What about you? What about the photos of you and Gabriella? She showed up at our house in her pajamas, and she was even clinging to you. How do you explain that?
“I’ve never done anything to betray your trust. Dustin and I are friends. You’re the one who needs a check on your relationship with Gabriella.” With that said, Joan stalked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
“Joan!” Larry shouted after her, but she did not turn back.
