Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1997
“Sure.” Larry ended the call.
Meanwhile, Gabriella was jumping in joy.
Did I hear wrongly? Larry actually agreed to have dinner with me? Can it be that Joan has brought up the divorce with him? Gabriella sneered while her eyes let out an icy glare.
Joan oh Joan, it appears that you have lost your charm. In the end, Larry has chosen me.
Looking out the window, Gabriella clenched her fists while emitting an intimidating vibe.
When the man beside her saw how happy she was, his heart sank. He knew that Larry must have agreed to her request. In this world, is Larry the only one that can make her happy? The man couldn’t help but sigh.
In the end, I am nothing but a tool. But I really love her.
In the restaurant, the dim candlelight, soothing music, intoxicating red wine, and mesmerizing scent of flowers, simply made for a warm and romantic environment. Gabriella took a sip of red wine as she looked excitedly at Larry.
“Larry, have you been very busy lately? Look at you, you seemed to have lost a lot of weight.” Gabriella reached out her hand to touch his cheeks.
When Larry avoided her hand, it suddenly caused her to feel awkward.
“It’s alright. I’m just a little busy.” Larry put a piece of steak in his mouth.
“Lars, you have to take better care of yourself.” Gabriella’s heart pained to see him like that.
“Gabriella, do you remember how much I have drunk at the nightclub that night?” Larry carefully probed.
Suddenly, Gabriella’s gaze turned cold.
Why is he asking this all of a sudden? What a party pooper. And to think we finally got to share a meal.
“Erm… I forgot. Why do you ask?” She threw the question back at him.
“Oh, actually, I just went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor commented that my stomach wasn’t well. Hence, he advised me to cut down on my drinking. Therefore, I just want to know what my threshold for drinking is so that I can set my limits.” Larry smiled on purpose.
