Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1743

“I only hope for the best,” Joan told Larry.

Joan buried her head into Larry’s embrace and listened to his strong heartbeat. “I’m willing to share your heavy burdens with you.”

At Jory’s office.

Dustin threw a stack of newspapers onto Jory’s desk and asked agitatedly, “What is going on?”

Jory briefly scanned the headlines on the newspapers: Acquisition of Norton Corporation Put On Halt!

“What are you worrying about? I’m only slowing down but not aborting this plan. As for the stock prices…” Jory’s gaze shifted from the phone screen to the newspapers and back. “They’re stable at the rock bottom. I don’t think it’s something that you should be alarmed by.”

“What I wanted to ask was why did you put a halt onto the plan?”

“I-I…” Jory hesitated for a moment. He raised his brows at Dustin and explained, “Because I want her to be happy. Seeing her in a miserable state breaks my heart.”

Dustin was bewildered. He tilted his head and asked, “Her? Do you mean that girl who refused to marry you?”

Jory’s heart skipped a beat as he had never mentioned anything about Nancy to Dustin, including the rejection he faced.

“How did you know?”

Dustin smirked. “You told me when you were sleep-talking.”

What? He had indeed been dozing off in the office. However, was it possible that he let it slip during his nap?
