Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2624
An Ordinary Woman
By the time Della was sent home, it was already into the wee hours. Leaving her villa behind, Larry lifted his gaze toward the sky as he trotted homeward. He cut a pitiable figure from behind.
Should there be a day where Della was not able to let go of her feelings for him, perhaps he ought to terminate his professional dealings with her.
