Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2365
“A friend of mine,” Joan answered softly.
Seeing that Nancy and her child were safe and sound was more than enough to make her happy. The corner of Joan’s mouth curved into a content smile.
It’s alright. Everything will turn out fine! She glanced down at her arm and smiled.
“Joan, I heard that Larry is back in the country,” Abigail stated abruptly.
Huh? Joan turned around and stared at the girl in front of her earnestly, a sliver of hope glimmered in her eyes.
“What? I don’t know the details. You could just call him and find out.” Abigail said tentatively.
No! Joan looked away as a sign of refusal. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
“Hey, look. It’s Larry!” the girl exclaimed excitedly. After so long, the two of them can finally speak on the phone.
Joan picked up the call in no time. She tried her best to remain calm. “What is it?”
“So, what are your thoughts exactly? Do you plan to continue recovering there? Or come back-”
“I won’t go back.” Before Larry could finish speaking, Joan cut him off.
“Alright, then I’ll head over to you after I’ve settled matters at the company.” With that, Larry hung up the call.
Joan parted her lips to protest, but the line had already gone dead.
“What’s wrong? What did Larry say?” asked Abigail.
“Nothing much.” Joan put her phone aside. Even though she intended to reject Larry’s offer earlier, she couldn’t deny that she was actually looking forward to him coming over.
Abigail suddenly giggled and teased, “Are you shy, Joan? You’re blushing. Larry is coming to see you, isn’t he?”
