Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2040
However, Gabriella would definitely not let it slide. If Larry could not find out anything in three days, she might really send Joan to the police, which was the last thing he wanted to see. Since the beginning, Gabriella just wants me, so in a sense, I’m the reason Joan’s in such a situation.
At the same time, Joan had suffered from insomnia and could not sleep for the whole night, making the dark circles under her eyes obvious.
He doesn’t believe me anymore, does he? Joan clenched her fists.
I’m just an ordinary woman with an ordinary family, but why should I go through such dramas? I’m not an actress, nor do I want to act, but I often get involved in some catfights.
Soon, the sun came up. Feeling frowsy, Joan slowly closed her eyes.
The door was pushed open with a creak.
Larry tiptoed up to the bed and stroked the woman’s hair gently, feeling distressed.
She must be terrified. It’s my fault for being unable to protect her. Leaning over, he planted a kiss on Joan’s forehead. She slowly opened her eyes probably because she felt his warmth.
“Did I wake you?” Larry looked sorry.
“No, I just…” Joan faltered.
Knowing what was in her mind, Larry held her hand tightly, trying to soothe her.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry. I got you, so you’ll be fine. Just rest at home these few days, and don’t go out. Call in sick. I’m afraid Gabriella will target you,” he hurriedly said.
In an instant, a warm, fuzzy feeling filled Joan’s heart. So he chooses to believe in me. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Sleep more. I’m gonna go to work as there are many projects recently. I’ve already sent someone to investigate the surveillance footage.”
