Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1998
From the looks of it, they really looked compatible with each other.
Tears welled up in Joan’s eyes.
Liar! You big fat liar! Despite saying till death do us part and declaring to love me forever, you have begun dating Gabriella before we have even completed our divorce. Are you that desperate?
Joan sniffled as she tried to calm herself down.
“Alright, stop watching. Let’s go home.” Dustin hugged her tightly.
He was aware of how sad she felt. Even though she had initiated the divorce, she was still devastated by what she saw.
“Dustin, I wasn’t seeing things, was I?” Joan suddenly asked.
How am I to answer her? Dustin hesitated for a moment before choosing to remain silent.
“Come, let’s go home.” She dragged Dustin to leave.
Back in the restaurant, Larry wasn’t aware of what was going on outside. His focus was on trying to get more information from Gabriella.
The matter has to be resolved sooner or later.
“Lars, what’s wrong with you today? Why do you keep asking me strange questions?” Gabriella probed.
Did he notice something? That shouldn’t be the case. My plan was water-tight.
Larry stared at Gabriella inquisitively. His first few questions were elementary and didn’t yield much information. But his final question was the key to revealing everything. Although he still needed to validate it.
“Gabriella, do you still remember the scar by my back? Recently, I cut myself with something sharp, causing the wound to split open. Therefore, I need to apply some medication on it. As Joan has been ignoring me and pestering me for a divorce, I wonder if you could…”
“I can. Not a problem at all,” Gabriella exclaimed quickly.
“Do you still remember the scar?” Larry let out a mischievous smile.
“I do. How can I forget? That night, I even stroked it for a long time as it pained my heart to see it,” Gabriella murmured shyly.
At that moment, Larry knew the truth.
There is no scar on my back at all. So how can she even remember it so vividly?
I guess it must be another man that she remembers.
