Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1947

“Miss, here’s your perfume.” The salesperson hurriedly passed the bottle over.

Gabriella looked at the bottle in her hand before glancing at the man in front of her with a sinister smile.

Poof!

Instantly, the air was permeated with Joan’s scent.

Larry seemed to wake up at the smell of Joan’s familiar warmth, but his cloudy gaze betrayed his true state.

“Joan, is that you?” His deep voice was almost painfully hopeful.

“Yes, Lars. It’s me.” Gabriella wrapped her arms around Larry’s neck.

Larry suddenly frowned.

“Since when did you call me ‘Lars’?” He asked as he looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. He started blinking frantically in an attempt to get a closer look at the woman in his arms.

“Just trying to spice up our relationship,” Gabriella said coquettishly as she patted his chest.

“Let’s have some drinks!” Gabriella suddenly said in an attempt to change the conversation.

“We’re almost there, Lars. Try to stay awake, okay?” she said as she tried her best to help the man walk.

Larry’s eyes were almost completely closed at this point. He had to lean against Gabriella heavily so he could actually walk into the room.

“I’m so happy, Joan,” he murmured in a daze.

Happy? You can’t even tell who I am, Gabriella thought with a cold glare at the man in front of her. Looks like you’ll finally be the hero for once, Joan.

Smack!

Larry collapsed onto the large bed. Gabriella quickly turned on the lights and closed the door and windows before walking toward the bed.

Finally! I’ve waited for you all this while and now you’re finally mine.

Gabriella stroked Larry’s hair gently while the corner of her mouth quirked up in a sly smile.

Who would ever call a man loyal when they were still willing to cheat while drunk?

Suddenly, Larry pulled Gabriella into his arms and breathed her scent in deeply.

“I missed you so much,” Larry murmured as he nuzzled his nose into Gabriella’s collarbone.

She stroked his face gently. In that very moment, everything that Larry had ever done to her disappeared into nothingness.
