Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2031
Lucius gazed suspiciously at Joan’s words. He could not quite shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong, but was unable to voice it out.
“But Mommy, I don’t know why but I always feel like that woman is bad news when she comes here,” Lucius mumbled.
Of course it was bad news. Gabriella was a proud woman who wouldn’t let anybody stand in her way of what she wanted. Looks like it’s going to be a tough one.
“All right, be good and go to sleep.” Joan caressed Lucius’s hair gently.
Very quickly, he shut his eyes as was told. Joan pulled the quilt over him and left his room.
Gabriella was still on the couch rifling through some magazines.
When did she become so thick-skinned? She’s still here!
“What are you still doing here?” Joan asked coldly.
Does this b*tch need to be chased out with a stick? Gabriella glared at her with an expression of disdain.
“Joan, I have always been straightforward, and I would like you to do the same. Tell me when you and Larry are getting a divorce,” Gabriella asked bitterly.
At the look of desperation on Gabriella’s voice, Joan sneered.
What’s the rush? If the child in her womb is really Larry’s, why is she constantly bugging them to get a divorce?
It looks like this situation has more to it than meets the eye.
“As I’ve told you before, in regards to the divorce, I would be more than happy to sign the papers if Larry agrees to it. You have my word that I will leave and be out of your lives after that,” Joan said with conviction.
Joan had pushed all the responsibility onto Larry. He was the only weak spot of Gabriella. Gabriella had loved Larry for so many years and had given up on him. It’s a shame that Larry had never spent any time on her. Joan felt rather fortunate with that.
