Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1878
Chapter 1878 Dad Is A Very Busy Man
“He’s just some guy that helps Ms. Young out at the garden. She likes him a lot,” Selena replied softly.
Larry glared at Kevin, who was behind him with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
“Starting tomorrow, I’ll go help out in the garden too.”
“That simply won’t do, Mr. Norton! You should just stay home and rest! I can manage the garden by myself!” Delilah tried to talk him out of it when she heard what he said.
She had noticed something off about him the moment he stepped through the door, and she turned out to be right about it.
“Ms. Young, I’ll be the one to help you with your flowers from now on, so you don’t need anybody else.” Larry looked straight at her with a serious expression on his face.
Delilah wasn’t sure why he would say such a thing all of a sudden, but she knew he must’ve had his reasons for it.
“B-But you’re the p-president of Norton Corporation, so you must be really busy with work every day…” Delilah stammered.
“I meant during my stay here,” Larry added.
Delilah stared at him in confusion, unsure of what to do. The president of a huge company helping me out in my garden? I bet the entire village would be famous if word were to get out about it!
As the sky grew dark, Larry smiled gladly at the sight of his handiwork while Delilah stood beside him with an awkward look on her face.
The two of them left the garden shortly after with Delilah thanking Larry for his help, but he simply responded by saying, “I’m just doing my job.”
Not knowing how to respond to that, Delilah kept quiet and carried on walking.
“Grandma! Dad! You’re back!” Lucius came running out of the house.
Delilah paused for a brief moment when she heard that, but was quick to regain her composure.
I can’t believe this kid is just calling him ‘Dad’ like it’s the most natural thing in the world!
“Lucius! What did I tell you? You’re supposed to call him ‘Mr. Norton’!” Selena shouted at him from the kitchen.
Larry ran inside when he heard her voice and pushed her aside. “Why are you making dinner again? Get out of the kitchen, and get some rest. I’ll take it from here.”
