Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2736

I Cannot Sleep

Meanwhile, Delilah sighed when she saw how happy Nancy and Lucius were playing together. Joan and Larry had just reconciled and are now having another fight. It really does seem endless.

“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Lucius asked as he gave Delilah a puzzled look.

“It’s nothing, I’m going to prepare dinner. Nancy, do stay and join us…”

“Sure, no problem!” Nancy readily agreed before Delilah even finished her sentence.

“Ms. Barrymore, you really are easygoing!” Lucius gave her a thumbs-up to show his admiration.

After glancing at Lucius and then at Joan’s room, Nancy began to feel uneasy.

Suddenly, Lucius raised his head and asked, “Ms. Barrymore, is Mom in a bad mood recently?”

Nancy was briefly stunned before regaining her composure.

“She’s just tired recently.” She patted Lucius on the back with a smile.

Lucius has grown up and knows how to show concern now.

In her room, Joan was lying on her bed while staring at the ceiling, feeling depressed. She didn’t know if Larry was coming home tonight and wasn’t sure what his impression of her was.

Knock! Knock!

“Mommy, time for dinner,” Lucius called out from outside.

“Lucius, you guys go on without me. I’m too tired to eat…” she replied softly.

Lucius’ expression darkened when he heard Joan’s words.

“Mommy, what’s wrong? Did Dad bully you?” Lucius carefully probed.

At that moment, Joan cleared her throat and got up.

“Lucius.” She quickly opened the door and hugged him affectionately.

“Dad didn’t bully Mom. It’s just that I have a lot on my plate at the moment.”

Alright! When he saw how haggard Joan looked, Lucius hung his head as if he was in deep thought.
