Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1999
“By the way, Ms. Young. What did I do last night?” Larry looked at her in anticipation.
What sort of question is that? Delilah looked at him quizzically. For a drunk man who could barely walk, what else can you do?
“You didn’t do anything other than yelling Joan’s name,” Delilah plainly replied.
Suddenly, Larry’s gaze darkened.
“What else? Didn’t I do anything else? Such as standing up, returning to my room, or even going to the toilet?”
What a joke. You barely had any strength. How can you even go back to your own room?
“No, you didn’t do anything at all. All you did was sprawl on the table, sleeping. You didn’t even have any energy left.”
So that’s how it was! At that moment, Larry’s eyes lit up.
In that case, nothing happened between Gabriella and me that night. However, I still need evidence to prove it. A cold glint flashed in Larry’s eyes.
When he realized he could finally explain himself to Joan, a triumphant smile emerged on his face.
“Hey, Ms. Young, where’s Joan? Has she gone to work?”
“She didn’t come home last night. She said she was busy with something.”
Didn’t return for the night? Suddenly, sadness filled his eyes.
Is she together with Dustin? Has she really fallen for him? Larry clenched his fists as his eyes burned with rage.
“Alright, you should go home now and rest. After pulling an all-nighter, you deserve some good rest.” Dustin gently patted Joan on the shoulder.
“Alright, you be careful too. Bye!” Joan waved.
Before she came in, Larry heard their conversation outside.
Just as expected, they were together last night.
“I’m back,” Joan exclaimed the moment she entered the house.
“Where did you go?” Larry asked coldly.
