Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1880
Chapter 1880 Look Out In Front
Larry then shifted his longing gaze toward Selena and said slowly, “Selena, if you don’t mind, you can come to my place with Lucius.”
Selena wanted nothing more than to jump at that opportunity, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave Delilah behind all by herself.
“No, I think I’m better off staying here. Besides, I’ve got work.” Selena looked at Delilah as she said that, much to the disappointment of Larry and Lucius.
“You should go with Mr. Norton, Selena. There’s something I need you to do for me in the city anyway,” Delilah spoke up all of a sudden.
Larry’s eyes lit up instantly, and he stared at Selena expectantly. Selena took one look at Delilah and understood the elder woman’s intentions right away. Ms. Young rarely sends anyone into the city, so it must be something important if she’s sending me like this…
“You see these flowers over here? I need you to send them to a girl named Harriet. Just tell her it’s from me, and she’ll understand. Remember, you have to hand them over to her in person,” Delilah said in a very serious tone.
Selena didn’t know who Harriet was nor how important the flowers were, but she wasn’t about to refuse a request from Delilah.
“Mom, make sure you dress well on this trip with Dad or you’ll make him look bad!” Lucius gave her a gentle pat on the back.
Selena froze in disbelief. Did this kid just insult me?
“It doesn’t matter how you look, because I’ll still like you all the same!” Larry wrapped his arm tightly around her shoulder.
She brushed it off and blushed as she took a few steps back, much to Larry’s amusement.
After saying goodbye to Delilah and Lucius, the two set off in Larry’s car. It was a very quiet drive with Selena staring out the window in silence while Larry kept his eyes on the road ahead.
With the awkward tension rising in the car, Selena tried her best to calm herself down, only to find that she was getting a lot more anxious than before. Naturally, Larry had noticed her odd behavior and pulled over by the side of the road.
“What’s the matter, Selena?” he asked while leaning closer toward her.
“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing!” Selena let out an awkward chuckle.
Larry continued inching closer toward her, making her so flustered that she found it a little difficult to breathe.
“Then why were you trying to avoid looking at me?” he asked while blowing gently into her ear.
