Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1927
“Boss, I quit. I don’t want your candy anymore. I have to go home now.” a boy said as he hurriedly ran off.
“Boss, I have to be home for dinner. I’d be in big trouble if I get home late. So, I’ll get going now!”
In a blink of an eye, the child who started the ridicule was the only one left. The children disappeared one by one.
The only child left was now frightened. He froze in place and dared not move.
“What’s wrong?” Larry asked him gently, warning lacing his tone.
“I’m sorry. Madam told me to this and gave me these candies in return. Please, don’t send my parents to jail!” the child begged, teary-eyed.
Larry hesitated.
Ugh, forget it. He’s just a child whom that woman made use of.
He let out a sigh and caressed the teary-eyed child’s head.
“Then promise me that you’ll never do something like this again, alright?” Larry asked.
“Okay, sir. Thank you.” The child burst into tears of relief.
“I’m sorry, Lucius. I’ve been very mean to you in the past. Could you forgive me?”
A child was as innocent as a lamb. If one knew that their actions would cause harm to their parents, they would surely stop immediately.
“Alright, I forgive you. We’re friends, after all.” Lucius smiled.
The two children reconciled and became good buddies once again.
Damn it! Gabriella, who was watching the scene, smashed her fist into a wall.
Why did he appear? Her eyes burned in anger.
“Mom!” Lucius rushed into Joan’s arms.
“Mom, I have good news…” He leaned into her ear excitedly.
Joan was touched when she heard Lucius tell her how Larry had settled the problems that bothered her. Her heart filled with warmth from his actions; she felt very grateful to have the man in her life.
“Mom, I believe both you and Dad love and respect each other. I want you two to live a long life as a couple!” Lucius exclaimed happily as he patted his chest.
Wow… He may be young, but he seems to know a lot of things. How mature of him.
