Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2312

Nevertheless, she tried to coax her son. “It’s okay, Lucius. Next time we’ll tell Dad in advance so he can make the necessary arrangements.”

“Your dad isn’t here but I’m here! Or do you not like me anymore, Lucius?” Dustin quipped.

“What? There’s no such thing! You’re the best, Mr. Dustin!”

Lucius used to think that Dustin might come in between his parents and destroy his family. But over time, he realized Dustin was not as bad as he thought. After more interaction, he gradually began to like Dustin and eventually accepted him.

“Here, Dustin, eat more. I’m very grateful to you for rushing over in time when Lucius fell sick. Thanks to you, he’s now back to his active, healthy self. Here, try my special barbecue pork ribs!” Delilah cooed.

The truth was Lucius had fallen seriously ill during the time Joan was overseas. At the time, Larry also did not come home. Thankfully, Dustin happened to drop by to visit Delilah so he promptly sent Lucius to the hospital. To show her gratitude, Delilah had always meant to invite him for a meal. It just so happened that Joan bumped into him on her way home. Once Delilah got wind of it, she immediately had Joan bring him over.

“Ms. Young, you’re too kind! I was only doing my part. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything I can help with in the future!” Dustin proclaimed while tapping his chest confidently.

Delilah’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. What a dependable man! If Joan were still single, they’d have made such a good couple. Dustin’s handsome and capable while Joan’s gentle and beautiful, but…

Before her thoughts could stray any further, Delilah shook her head to clear her mind. Am I getting old and senile? How can I harbor such thoughts? Larry and Joan are perfectly happy together!

The four of them continued with their meal, chatting and laughing as they ate. Before long, all the tension and awkwardness from before had dissipated. Joan, however, still couldn’t stop thinking about Larry.

Has he eaten? Is he really back at his office? Once the thoughts started flooding back, Joan gradually got lost in them.

“Mom, may I get more food?” Lucius asked.
