Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2004
Bang! Larry slammed the phone down on the table and left.
All the staff looked at each other and fell silent.
Larry stood by the window and balled his fists so tightly that his nails were digging into the skin of his palms.
“Larry!” Caspian panted as he came rushing in without even knocking on the door.
“Joan…” Caspian hesitated as he didn’t quite know what to say.
What’s wrong with her? She’s happy! She looks happy when she’s with that man. Misery flitted across Larry’s eyes.
There was nothing between himself and Gabriella, so why won’t she believe him? In that instant, he felt so hurt that it felt like a stabbing pain in his heart.
There was only one woman he loved, and that was Joan. He had never touched another woman other than her, but she wouldn’t believe him. How could she get herself involved in a family poster shot with Dustin and Lucius?
What a joke! That’s the love of his life, the woman he loved for many years.
“She must have her reasons for doing that, Larry. Let’s wait for her to return, and we’ll…”
“No,” Larry interrupted Caspian.
There’s no need for that.
Anyway, she went ahead with the family poster shot without having any consideration for his feelings. There was nothing for her to explain. Besides, she looked happy on the family poster.
In that instant, deep sadness pasted on Caspian’s face.
Is their relationship coming to an end? Just like Nancy and myself.
He had been a witness since the start of Larry and Joan’s romantic relationship. Like any other couple, they had gone through highs and lows, from quarreling to making up. But now, they were like strangers to each other.
Caspian let out a long sigh and left the office. After pondering for a long time, he decided to give Joan a call.
