Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2505
Delilah ended up chuckling when she came across the scene while making her way out of the kitchen.
“How have you brought him up? Have you taught him those as well?” Delilah leaned over and whispered in Joan’s ear.
How am I supposed to teach him something of sorts? Maybe he’s born street smart? Joan glanced at those in the living room and shook her head.
She muttered to herself in return, “God knows who’s the one behind this?”
Gabriella scratched her head in confusion. She asked, “Two minutes? Lucius, don’t you think that’s way too short?”
“Nah, since Dad has his own family, he’s not even supposed to have another woman next to him under ordinary circumstances.”
Gabriella was stupefied and at a loss for words to defend herself. He’s such a cunning brat! I guess he must have taken after his mother!
“Alright, that’s two minutes. Lucius, let’s head over and finish your homework before dinner.” Larry got up from the couch and brought the little boy back to his room.
In the end, Dustin and Gabriella were the only ones left in the living room. Sitting on the couch, they whispered to one another.
Gabriella asked, “Don’t you think you have shown up earlier than you’re supposed to?”
“Weren’t you the one who asked me over?” Dustin answered with another rhetorical question.
“Well, I guess we know one another pretty well, huh?”
Who the heck wants to know you well? If it weren’t because of Joan, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and make the trip back.
The woman asked, “When are you going to leave?”
“I’m not sure because it depends.”
The duo went on and on, catching up with one another without any signs of awkwardness at all.
Delilah stared at the duo in the living room and asked Joan, “Have Gabriella and Dustin always been so close?”
Once again, Joan answered with another question. “Ms. Young, are you sure you’re not overthinking things? Haven’t they always been close to one another?”
“It’s time for dinner!” Shortly after they heard the announcement, everyone showed up in the dining room.
