Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1666

If I told her that there’s nothing wrong between Larry and me, will she be stunned? Joan was contemplating over what she should do. Even so, she did not let it show on her face.

“Of course not. Recently, Larry has been returning home quite late, and I feel uneasy being alone. That’s why I’ve been feeling down…”

Haha, Joan, do you take me as a three-year-old child? Do you think I’ll take the bait so easily when your lies are clumsily put together? Accommodating Joan’s reasoning, Gabriella pretended to be surprised. “Oh, I see. Regardless, you should be wary. Who knows, he might be seeing another woman as charming as you behind your back.”

A chill ran down Joan’s spine. They had not seen each other in ages, yet she tried to sell her the idea of an affair so nicely.

“Don’t worry. Even if such a woman does appear, I will haunt her down as I did to you in the past!” Joan taunted.

Right away, Gabriella’s expression hardened, but she quickly tried to cover it up. She stammered, “Actually…I have a question for you…”

“Since when did you learn to ask questions this way?” Joan took the chance to poke fun at her.

“Forget about it if you don’t want to entertain me. You don’t need to put up a show with me,” Gabriella returned to her original tone. This made Joan feel more at ease since she was used to this side of Gabriella.

Joan chuckled, “Go ahead and tell me then.”

“Has Landon ever mentioned… me?” Her last word was laced with uncertainty. From Joan’s memory, Gabriella used to call him ‘Dad’ all the time. Yet, she was calling him by his first name now.
