Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2071
I naturally know that I can’t kill them, but I want them to be crippled at least! Jordan resolved.
After breaking the men’s arms and legs, the cars in front swiftly left the scene of carnage.
However, those who were left behind couldn’t lodge a police report.
“You must have suffered quite a few frights lately, but I promise it won’t happen again.” Larry hugged the woman before him tightly.
Phew! That’s great! I don’t want to live a life of misery whereby the days crawl by anymore either!
“Was that man earlier your junior?” Larry then queried inquisitively.
“Yup. It so happened that he had just come back the other day…” Joan explained.
But why is it that I found the look in his eyes not quite right? Was I reading too much into things?
Larry pounded himself on the head in a bid to clear his mind.
“Mommy!” Lucius launched himself at Joan the moment they arrived home. As Delilah looked on at the side, a rush of warmth suffused her.
It had only been less than a month, yet she felt as though an eternity had passed.
“Since you’re back, go and take a shower before changing. Then, we’ll have dinner together.” She patted Joan’s back lightly.
Joan knew that Lucius and Delilah had been extremely worried about her throughout the past few days, so she was truly thankful that she had returned safe and sound.
Dinner was a solemn affair. Lucius didn’t dare speak while Delilah kept mum; Larry merely buried his head in his food. Thus, the atmosphere became rather awkward.
“What’s wrong with you all? Are you all not happy that I’m back today?” Joan murmured.
That was the exact opposite, for everyone had been scared witless previously.
“Mommy, you know what? Grandma and I couldn’t sleep in the past few days you’ve been away, afraid that something might have happened to you…” Lucius mumbled, his eyes red-rimmed.
In a flash, tears welled in Joan’s eyes as well, for she hadn’t fared any better.
