Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1904
Chapter 1904 Larry Showed Up
“Mom, Dad is here,” informed Lucius suddenly.
Joan was slightly stunned, but she recomposed herself soon.
“What are you talking about? Here. Eat your breakfast,” instructed Joan while putting some bread and milk in front of the child.
All of a sudden, Larry’s voice sounded from the door. “I’m here!”
Joan was taken aback instantly.
Why didn’t he call ahead?
“Dad!” greeted Lucius excitedly.
Joan was dumbstruck for a moment there. His arrival was too sudden, so she didn’t get any breakfast for him.
“I, uh, I’ll go buy you some breakfast now,” said Joan, who was about to leave the room.
But Larry was quick to stop the woman and lock her in place.
“It’s fine. We can have breakfast together. Do you mind that, Lucius?” asked Larry as he turned to look at the boy.
“Not at all. Good luck, Dad,” replied Lucius while giving his dad a thumbs up.
With that, they left the hospital holding hands.
“What just happened?” asked Delilah as she rubbed her eyes.
“Nothing, Grandma. Go back to sleep,” replied Lucius softly with a grin.
Meanwhile, in a café with dim lighting, soft music and the pleasant scent of rose filled the place.
Joan and Larry were drinking coffee in the corner, but neither spoke.
Joan suddenly got anxious.
“Larry, it was a spontaneous decision to leave the country that day. Things were a little hectic, and…” explained Joan.
Larry sipped some coffee and studied the woman in front of him carefully. It has only been a few days, but she looks like she has gone through a lot.
“I understand,” replied Larry. His rage had dissipated by then.
Right then, the familiar voice of a man sounded. “Joan!”
