Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2239
Dear me. The little boy’s getting smarter and smarter. He’s even spinning tales to trick his parents now.
“My deskmate’s afraid that his parents will divorce. If that happens, he doesn’t know who he should go with,” Lucius continued.
When Joan heard his words, an invisible hand wrapped itself tightly around her heart. On the other hand, Larry knew the boy was doing this deliberately.
“Joan, eat more. You’ve grown skinnier,” Larry suddenly said, much to Lucius and Delilah’s delight.
Dad’s quite a big-hearted man. No matter whether Mom has made a mistake or not, and no matter the mistake Mom makes, he’ll still make the first move to reconciliation.
Lucius sighed in relief before returning to his food.
“Huh? Oh. You too. You should eat more too. You’ve been working overtime quite often recently. It must be tiring for you. Here, have more meat.” With that said, Joan took two pieces of meatballs and placed them onto Larry’s bowl.
“Mom, you’re biased! You only gave me one meatball earlier, but you’ve given Dad two! I knew it. You love Dad more than you love me. In fact, you don’t love me at all,” Lucius huffed, seemingly jealous.
It was all just an act to make the atmosphere less tense.
Meanwhile, Delilah, who was beside them, had a wide grin on her face. “My dear grandson. Aren’t you a bright boy?”
Larry swiftly took the opportunity to explain, “Joan, there are some things I’d like to talk to you about. There isn’t anything between Jessica and me. A while ago, some accident happened to her parents overseas.”
Oh. So that’s what happened? I didn’t know. A sense of guilt rushed up Joan’s chest. He didn’t do anything to wrong me, but I’ve been doubting him the entire time. Have I gone overboard?
