Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2484

“No,” came Larry’s cold answer.

It was better to have as little communication with his family as possible so they wouldn’t find out about his condition. But his phone kept ringing and showed no signs of stopping unless he picked it up. His patience running thin, Larry gestured for Caspian to put the call on loudspeaker.

“Hello, Ms. Young,” he greeted.

“You little brat! Where were you? How dare you not answer my call!” Delilah sneaked a glance over her shoulder at Joan, who was still keeping herself occupied in the garden.

“I was busy and didn’t know that my phone was ringing, Ms. Young…”

“Bullcrap! Tell me what happened to you!”

Damn this woman’s sixth sense. How did she know? Of course, that didn’t mean that Larry was going to spill everything to her.

“Nothing, Ms. Young. You’re overthinking things. I’m doing alright, just swamped with work and as a result, unable to call home often,” Larry explained.

He was lying again. Delilah clenched her fists, her fingernails digging into her palms.

“If you don’t tell me what’s going on right this instant, then you can’t blame me for not keeping Joan in check and making sure she doesn’t get swept off her feet by some other guy!” she warned.

That got his attention.

“Ms. Young, you must absolutely not tell anyone what I am about to tell you. Especially not Joan.”

“Stop beating around the bush. Get it out!”

Larry ended up confessing to Delilah about everything, trusting that she would keep her promise.
