Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2221
At that moment, Larry found her pitiable.
Due to her bubbly personality, he once thought she was an independent woman who could fend for herself no matter what, yet she turned out to be just like any other person who needed help when lost in life.
As the tide continued rising, the beach seemed even more desolated; there wasn’t a single star in the night sky, and they were the only ones there.
Due to the drop in the temperature, Jessica started sneezing.
She said flatly, “It’s time to head back and call it a day.”
“I think you should spend a night at the nearby hotel since it’s getting late and cold.”
She thought that was a great idea because she was afraid of going through another round of emotional breakdown once she was home.
Jessica asked, “What about you? Where are you going?”
He patted her shoulder and said, “There are still matters that require my attention back at the company. So I’ll return and pick you up tomorrow.”
In spite of the affection she had for him, he had always considered her just another friend of his.
He couldn’t possibly leave her alone since she only had a few friends after spending most of her time over the years abroad.
She wiped her tears dry and replied with a smile, “Mm. Please be careful on your way back. Thank you so much for everything.”
“It’s fine. I hope you will move on as soon as possible. If you don’t mind, I can help you bring your family back to its prime,” Larry offered in a serious manner.
In spite of the termination of the collaboration between both parties, she deserved at least that much for her parents’ contribution. On top of that, Larry felt obliged to take care of Jessica because of the misfortunes that had befallen her.
