Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2132
Joan found herself in a tight spot all of a sudden.
Sensing her dilemma, Nancy quickly added, “Is this not a good time? It’s fine then. I’ll go on my own.”
“That’s not it, Nancy. I can join you, so just wait for me. I’ll come over as soon as I get ready.”
After a brief conversation, they hung up the call.
Joan would never allow Nancy to go out shopping on her own. She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if something were to happen to the woman.
Soon, both of them arrived at the mall’s entrance. Nancy was brimming with excitement, but Joan seemed troubled.
“Isn’t it too early to be shopping for your baby’s clothes?” the latter asked casually.
“Too early? No, it’s not. He’s going to be born very soon.” Nancy stroked her belly affectionately, a content smile stretching across her lips.
Seeing this, Joan broke into a smile of her own.
Nancy sure has changed a lot. She’s no longer as impulsive as before. Instead, she’s gentle and thoughtful.
“You probably don’t know this, but the baby is my hope, my everything. I want him to come to this world smoothly. I want him to grow up healthy and strong.”
She sure is happy. I’m glad. Joan patted her back softly. “He will.”
The two of them didn’t shop for too long because it wasn’t convenient for Nancy to walk around with her big belly. Hence, they left the mall after she bought a few pieces of clothing and headed to a café nearby.
“Joan, how are things between you and Larry?”
Just the usual. How else can we be? He’s working overtime every day and can’t make it home, while I’m afraid of disturbing him. There’s really nothing I can do. Joan bowed her head as hurt flickered across her eyes.
