Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2383
“Joan, you ought to treasure Larry. During his most difficult times, he chose to proceed with the divorce in order to protect you. And he never gave up on you even after he got Norton Corporation back.”
She is right. I owe this man too much.
“Enough about that. Now, look at my daughter. Isn’t she adorable?” Nancy quickly changed the subject as she was worried Joan would start crying if they continued talking about what Larry has gone through.
She was aware that things had been tough on both Joan and Larry. They had been through so much together over the years, but nothing had separate them so far. The only time they were apart was when Joan went missing after the accident. Thankfully, destiny was in their favor, and their paths crossed again.
“I’m sorry I could not send you my best wishes when you gave birth, as I was not well myself,” Joan apologized softly.
“That’s alright. I totally understand. How is your health, Joan? I heard you went through surgeries. Are you okay?” Nancy asked with concern.
“I’m fine now,” Joan assured her.
After having gone through lots of ups and downs in their lives, the two ladies had matured. Their topics of discussion were no longer playful and carefree like before.
“Baby, Joan is here to see you!” Nancy was smiling as she interacted with the baby in her arms.
Joan was very pleased with the sight of Nancy looking blissed and elated.
She had finally become a mother and was no longer the wilful and unreasonable Nancy Barrymore.
“Joan, I realized a person would change after becoming a mother. I’ve learned so much from motherhood,” Nancy said.
She was absolutely right. Women had an advantage when it came to taking on different roles. Many could instinctively become wonderful wives and mothers without any guidance. It was easy to see how they achieved that. Women were naturally more sensitive and nurturing; hence, they would make sure everything at home was properly taken care of, so their kids and husband could enjoy a comfortable life.
