Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1535

Behind Joan, the sound of hearts shattering pierced the air.

Larry, who had been walking in front, started slowing down until he was side by side with Joan.

“What’s your name?”

As he looked at the girl before him, he felt his heartbeat gradually accelerating. Could this be the so-called love at first sight?

“I’m Joan Watts.”

Joan’s voice was a mere whisper, yet Larry could hear her clearly.

“I see. I’m Larry Norton.”

He then smiled, appearing to be in high spirits.

I know, Joan mumbled inwardly.

After having exchanged those two utterances, neither of them said anything else.

Larry didn’t know what to say, while Joan was so nervous that she was at a loss.

In no time, the two of them arrived at the school cafeteria. At that time, Larry had never dated, so he had no idea that he should be taking a girl to a high-end restaurant when treating her to a meal.

“What would you like to eat?” Larry asked softly.

“Why don’t I pay for it myself? You don’t need to treat me,” Joan murmured with her head lowered.

“No way! I said I’ll treat you, so it’s my treat!” Larry declared in a voice that brooked no argument.

“In that case, you decide. I’m fine with anything.”

Joan was still acting very much cautiously.

After simply ordering two lunch boxes, Larry and Joan started eating.

Later, Joan kept using this incident to tease Larry, making him exceedingly embarrassed. Of course, this only happened when they had gotten familiar with each other in the future.

Neither of them had ever thought that the first meal they shared upon getting acquainted was a lunch box at the school cafeteria.

Throughout the meal, they both said nothing, merely finishing the food silently.

At that time, Joan noticed him staring at her intently, his gaze brimming with affection that almost had her melting into a puddle.

All of a sudden, she sensed her heart skipping a beat. She knew that something was about to happen, and it had her feeling both nervous and expectant.

“Is something the matter that you asked me here, Larry?”

A touch apprehensive, Joan dared not look at him but kept her head ducked instead.

“Yup.”

Larry’s voice was filled with an enthralling allure, and it made her heart race all the faster.

“Joan, the reason I asked you here today is that I’ve got a question for you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

His voice wasn’t as calm as usual. Instead, it was tinged with a trace of urgency and anticipation.

Upon hearing that, Joan’s mind abruptly went blank.

Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend? Am I going to be his girlfriend?
