Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1973

“Let’s get a divorce,” said Joan in a low voice as she held back her emotions.

She could not bear to see an unborn child being abandoned by its own father. Furthermore, she did not want to see Gabriella’s face haunting her every day. She knew that whatever had been done was done, and there was no going back.

“Joan,” Larry said pleadingly as he held her hand tightly, his eyes full of pain and affection.

However, at that moment, Joan did not feel even a hint of warmth. Perhaps relationships were simply that fragile sometimes. Once one party crossed the bottom line, there was no way to salvage the relationship anymore.

“Larry, I don’t blame you. Really. I hope that you’ll be responsible for Gabriella’s child now, just as you took responsibility for us before.” Joan’s gaze carried a hint of reluctance and helplessness.

At once, the room fell silent and the air stilled.

We can’t even verify if the child is mine yet. How am I supposed to take responsibility?

“We haven’t got to the bottom of things yet, so don’t jump to conclusions, okay?”

Joan sneered.

It’s such an obvious, earth-shattering piece of news. Is it still not clear enough for you? The child in Gabriella’s belly was the biggest proof!

“I’m tired. Let’s go to sleep,” said Joan, ending the conversation there. Then, she lay down and closed her eyes.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the room, warming up the place. Joan rolled over on the bed but noticed that the person next to her was gone. Did he go to work? Or did he go to see Gabriella? Immediately, Joan’s eyes dimmed with disappointment.

“Joan, the manager came by this morning and asked you to go back to work at the supermarket. He wants you to take over the supervisor position. What do you think?” Delilah said suddenly.

Joan was taken aback by that. She had already been thinking about going back to the supermarket to find some work but did not expect that she would get promoted.

However, once she thought of Freya, a cold look flickered across her gaze. No matter how fragile Gabriella currently was, she could not make up for her previous mistakes.
