Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1752
Deep in thought, Nancy continued to follow behind Jory. Suddenly, he stopped without any warning, causing her to run into his back, almost falling.
“Why did you stop? Have we reached?”
From behind, Jory’s body appeared to be very stiff. Even without seeing his face, one could feel the change in the surrounding aura. The lightness and joy that were just present had transformed into a tense atmosphere.
“Because my mood just worsened.”
Jory only quietly replied to her with one line. However, Nancy did not understand what he was talking about. Just moments ago, he was still joking around with her in the elevator. He had also said that he was in a good mood, so why was there suddenly such a change?
Nancy then noticed that he kept blocking her view. Is there something in front? She stepped aside, subconsciously looking at Jory’s expression. He looked calm, but there was an additional layer of hatred in his gaze, and the frown on his forehead was deeper than usual.
Following his gaze, her eyes landed on an enchanting, beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. She raised the glass in her hand as she gave both of them a smile. With her legs crossed, her red platform heels really emphasized her fairness and charm.
Her long, wavy hair also fell in front of her chest. At first glance, she seemed to have an exotic kind of beauty.
“Jory… T-This is…” Stunned, Nancy could only speak slowly.
The woman in front of her seemed to have some special magnetic force. Anyone would be lured to her, like a moth to a flame.
“Oh? Why does this little lady look so familiar?” Ignoring his words, Gabriella stood up and walked straight toward Nancy.
Jory raised the hand that was grabbing onto Nancy’s wrist, shielding her protectively behind him.
Gabriella pretended to blame him as she said, “Why’s she so important that you need to protect her this way? Why didn’t you tell me that you have someone so important to you…”
She then shifted her gaze to Nancy and stared at her for a long time. Gabriella asked, “You look kind of familiar. Do you remember me?”
Both Nancy and Jory were surprised by her words. Subsequently, Nancy emerged from behind Jory and stood confidently in front of Gabriella. It took her a long time to recall whatever information she knew about this person.
