Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1961

“I am full. I will go to my room first.” Lucius stood up and walked to his own room.

“I’m almost done too.” Delilah wittily stood up and left too.

Now there were only Larry and Joan left in the dining room with an extremely awkward atmosphere.

“Here. Eat some more meat. You have lost weight recently.” Larry grabbed some meat and put on Joan’s plate.

“Thanks,” Joan said in a soft voice.

Her gentleness left Larry in slight astonishment, as she was usually not so courteous towards him.

“Why did Gabriella come?” Joan asked while eating from her plate. There was a deep sorrow within her eyes, but she still tried to act unconcerned.

“Yeah? She heard that you are back. So she came over to see you,” Larry replied with a low voice.

What a hilarious excuse. Gabriella longs for me to leave Larry. She even wishes me dead. How could she possibly come to see me? Obviously, she came to see Larry.

“I don’t think she was here to see me, right? I was nearly killed by her not long ago,” Joan responded with disdain.

Even though she had not found any evidence to back this thought, there was no one other than Gabriella who had so much hatred towards her.

“Let’s not talk about her anymore. How about you? Why did you go overseas so suddenly? You didn’t even tell me,” Larry asked gently.

Is he trying to change the topic? Plus, how can he be so calm now? The last time when he found out I was with Dustin, he almost lost his mind.

“I went to have a check on my brain,” Joan replied faintly.

“What? Are you okay?” Larry immediately put down his fork and sat beside Joan. He touched her forehead and looked straight into her eyes. Why didn’t I know about her brain illness?

“It’s fine. I just wanted to check on it. There is no problem.” Joan smiled.

Right at this moment, she was secretly elated and touched.

He cares for me so much. Why should I suspect him and Gabriella? It must be me who overthink.
