Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1931

“Looking great today, Ms. Ward,” one of the boys commented.

Gabriella turned and shot the man a look, which shut him right up.

“It’s such a wonderful coincidence for us to run into each other today. Why don’t we go grab a bite together?” she said as she rested her right hand on Larry’s shoulders.

He shrugged her off rather strongly, which left the woman feeling a little awkward.

“Is he bothering you, Ms. Ward?” The men left their positions at the door behind and approached.

Gabriella forced out a smile and waved them off.

“It’s fine. I’m just joking around with my friend here,” she said.

“I’ve other things to attend to, so I should get going.” With that, Larry turned to leave.

Gabriella watched the silhouette of the departing man fade before she hurled the thermal insulated container in her hand onto the floor. That shocked the men.

Just you wait, Larry Norton. One day, I’ll have you begging!

The woman’s gaze was scorching.

Ding, ding, ding…

Larry answered phone quickly after one quick glance at the incoming caller ID.

“Hey Larry, when will you be coming back? Ms. Young and I have prepared the dumplings. We’re just waiting to put them to pot,” Joan said.

“I miss you so much, Daddy!” Another energetic voice came through the other end of the phone.

That put a smile of gratification on Larry’s face.

He loved his life. His wife and kid would wait at home in the evenings for him to come back from work. That felt more like home.

“Hey, look what you’ve done, Lucius. You’ve gotten flour all over my face,” Joan groaned.

“He did it on purpose.” Delilah chuckled.

A warm and fuzzy feeling crept into Larry hearing their voices from the other end of the phone. All his troubles seemed to have evaporated there and then.

“You must come back quickly, Daddy,” the cheeky boy said.

“Okay, I will be right back.”
