Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1985
When she went into her room, there was no sign of Larry. After checking the bathroom, she didn’t find him there either.
Isn’t he back yet?
“Larry had a fever yesterday. The moment he reached home, he lay on the bed without even having dinner. This morning, when he realized that you hadn’t come home, he headed out quickly in search of you. Hence, you’d better give him a call,” Delilah plainly explained.
Joan took out her phone and called him.
“Hello, let’s meet up for a talk and get it done.” Joan sounded disappointed.
At that moment, Larry’s eyes darkened. He didn’t expect Joan to be calling him first thing in the morning over that issue.
“Joan, it’s not what you think. Give me some time and let me get to the bottom of this,” Larry pleaded.
Joan scoffed. What else is there to investigate?
“Larry, I don’t want to see either of you anymore. Let’s just get it done and over with.” Joan ended the call at once.
As Delilah watched on, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Love is a torturous feeling. No matter what one does, it will never be perfect, especially when it involves a third party.
“Joan, have you really thought it through?” Delilah asked softly as she looked at Joan in a probing manner.
She didn’t want to interfere in their affairs, but neither did she want Joan to make a decision she would come to regret.
“Mmm-hmm. What I want is simple. I’ll work at the supermarket in the day and spend the evenings with you and Lucius. That’s all.”
Such a life was more than enough to satisfy her. Delilah turned around and walked into the kitchen.
All that matters is that she is happy.
But is she really? She has only chosen to live a simpler life.
Ring! Ring!
