Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1766
“She really didn’t tell me anything. So, stop asking me about it.” When Joan repeated her denial for the third time, she was already sick of doing so.
Before Larry replied, he saw the traffic light in front and stepped on the brakes gently.
Joan couldn’t help but sigh. Gripping her seat belt, she remarked, “She only told me about the many differences they have in their daily lives…”
“Differences? Just a few days ago, I told Caspian that a couple must always learn how to compromise. Didn’t you tell Nancy the same?” Larry asked.
“Of course I did. But did you know what she said?” Joan turned to face Larry. “She said that love is about compatibility without having to change one’s interest or personality to accommodate the other.”
Larry was stumped. The words seemed to make sense but he still felt there was something wrong with it. However, he couldn’t put his finger on what it was.
“Are you feeling the same way as I did? You have the urge to rebut but can’t find the basis to do it?” Joan asked.
Larry tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “If it really was about compatibility, then why did she choose to get married in the first place? Now that they are, how can she say something like that?”
Joan plainly replied, “Perhaps, love at first sight caused both of them to lose their rationality. But living together might have brought them back to reality.”
“Hmm… It sounds like Nancy doesn’t intend to reconcile with Caspian.” As Larry stepped on the accelerator, their car continued on its journey.
At that point, Joan was overwhelmed by guilt. Although it had nothing to do with her, hiding something from Larry filled her with self-reproach. After a long hesitation, she stuttered, “S-She… she said… she wants a divorce.”
