Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2311
“What’s the matter? Are you looking for Joan?” Delilah quipped.
Larry had to give it to Delilah for having such an acute sense and immediately guessing his thoughts. He was even more worried as he checked his watch. It’s already so late. Why isn’t she back yet?
Did what happened at the office earlier upset her? She wouldn’t do anything stupid, would she?
Larry knew women tended to be more sensitive and emotional. But at the same time, the Joan he knew had always been strong.
Regardless, he could not stop worrying about Joan. After all, she was just a woman – and one that he cared much for, too. That’s it. I’m going to look for her.
“Ms. Young, I’m heading out for a bit. I’ll be back soon!”
Larry had barely stepped out of the house when he almost ran into Joan. And there, standing behind her, was Dustin.
Why are they together? Did she go straight to him right after what happened this morning? Furious, Larry clenched his fists tightly.
He could not understand why Dustin always seemed to appear whenever she was hurt. Had she been neglected so much by him that she could only look to Dustin for comfort?
Joan hardly greeted him. She walked straight into the house.
She wasn’t magnanimous enough to forgive him that soon, especially not after his brazen act at the office.
Larry continued to fix a steely gaze at Dustin.
“Come on in, Dustin,” Joan said.
She’s now openly inviting other men into our house? What is she trying to do? Is she going to make him a meal? Isn’t this more outrageous than what I’ve done?
“Oh, Dustin, you’re finally here! How efficient of you, Joan! Come in, Dustin. I’ve prepared so many dishes for you,” Delilah said cheerily.
