Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2393
“Where’s Dad? Why isn’t he here yet?” Lucius asked.
As a matter of fact, no one informed Larry about the dinner, so it was unlikely that he would show up.
“Your father is busy today. He couldn’t make it,” Joan replied.
She knew about the grievance Larry had with Caiden, so she figured it was best not to inform Larry about what was going on.
“Lucius, here you go.” Caiden proceeded to place a slice of pizza on the kid’s plate.
“Thank you!” Lucius accepted with a smile.
The mood of the dinner seemed to be very lively, but it was mostly due to Lucius and Caiden. Meanwhile, both the women had awkward looks on their faces.
Then, Joan told them that she needed to go to the washroom, leaving her phone behind on the table.
Before she returned, it rang. So, Lucius took a look, picking up the call without a moment’s hesitation.
“Hello? Dad? Mom’s in the washroom right now.” He ate while he spoke.
On the other end of the line, Larry was surprised to hear the child’s voice.
He could also hear the hustling and bustling of Lucius’ surroundings. “Lucius, where are you?”
“I’m having pizza at the pizza joint with Mom, Grandma, and Mr. Caiden!” Lucius answered innocently.
There’s nothing wrong with eating pizza… but why is Caiden with them? A cold glint flickered in Larry’s eyes.
“Did your mother drink any alcohol?” he asked.
“Nope. Grandma didn’t let her.” Lucius’ answer gave Larry some relief.
Caiden noticed what was happening and curled his lips.
That scumbag Larry is definitely jealous right now.
After that, the four of them continued their meal as though nothing happened, not knowing what Larry was doing at the moment.
“Head down to the pizza joint and settle the bill for them,” Larry exclaimed in his office, stumping the assistant beside him.
