Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2483
Nancy shifted in her sleep. “Don’t go, Jory…”
Jory? I’m Joan, for goodness’ sake! ”Wake up!” Joan shouted. “Take a good look and see who I am!”
To her left, Jessica was also sleep-talking as she neared Joan, wrapping her arms around Joan’s waist. “When are you coming home, Caspian? I miss you…”
It didn’t look as if she would be able to go to the washroom anytime soon. Relegating herself to her fate, Joan sat silently on the sofa and let herself be used as a human bolster. The three of them appeared peaceful and cozy at first sight, but if you looked closer, you would be able to tell that Joan was pissed.
“Ugh, I’m so tired…” After what seemed like an eternity, Nancy finally woke up, stretching her back out and yawning.
Who’s the more tired person here? Without a second word, Joan glared at Nancy as she pushed her off of her.
Soon after, Jessica also let go of Joan’s arm, and Joan took the chance to scramble to her feet and make a beeline for the washroom without having even worn her slippers.
“What’s wrong? What’s got her in such a tizzy?” Jessica rubbed her eyes drowsily.
“I don’t know. I didn’t even see where she was headed for.”
“Ms. Watts went to the washroom, madam. She’s been wanting to go for quite a while now, but couldn’t because you and Ms. Zimmer were holding her back,” a housemaid helpfully supplied.
Hearing that, the two women burst out into a fit of laughter.
“Are you okay, Joan?”
“Yeah, Joan. Is there a problem?”
Joan could hear her friends giggle to themselves as she sat on the toilet in the washroom.
When she came out after a while, Nancy pointedly said, “Sorry for clinging onto you while I was asleep.”
“How are you feeling?” Jessica chirped up.
