Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2307

True to his word, Larry did not come home the previous night. Joan slowly opened her eyes and stretched lazily.

In the beginning, she was upset that Larry had not come home, but soon she had other ideas in mind. One of those ideas was to visit him at his office.

Perhaps I could send him breakfast?

She liked the idea so much that she decided to roll with it. She sprang out of bed and got changed.

“Ms. Young, I’ll be going to the Norton Corporation office today!” Joan shouted as she made her way downstairs.

Delilah showed a satisfied smile upon hearing Joan.

Silly girl. She should have done this a long time ago.

“Okay, let me know what you’d like to eat and I’ll make it,” she replied happily.

“Oh, no, I don’t want to trouble you, Ms. Young. I’ll do the cooking myself. You just sit back and relax!”

Preparing a homemade breakfast for Larry? That’s what I call sincerity! Delilah was overcome with excitement; her grin became even wider.

Even while Joan was preparing the food, she could not help but think back to her call with Larry. She convinced herself that his lackluster reaction was most likely due to him being exhausted. Yes, that must be it.

Before long, Joan had prepared a delightful spread of food. There were fried eggs, bread, milk, and fruits. Not only did they look good, but they also tasted delicious.

“Wow, Mom! You’re amazing! There’s so much good food today!” Lucius squealed in excitement as soon as he saw the mouth-watering breakfast spread.

“This is for your dad. Your breakfast is over there,” Joan said as she pointed to a small plate of food on the table.

Lucius pouted at this. “Aren’t you being unfair, Mom? I’m a growing boy, you know?”

Delilah quickly blinked at Lucius. Thankfully, the boy caught on to her hint almost immediately.

“But if the breakfast is for Dad, you should leave now, Mom. Otherwise, he won’t have time to eat.”

Joan was touched by how considerate her son had become.

“Larry, what’s with you? Are you okay? Or are you feeling unwell?” Joan asked worriedly.

“It’s none of your business! Get lost!”

Joan’s heart sank right there and then. That was the first time that Larry was so angry at her. It was also the first time he had shown her so much contempt. She could not understand why he had to be so rude to her when all she did was bring him breakfast.

“Fine. Don’t forget to eat your breakfast,” she said as she prepared to leave.

“Take it away. I’m not eating.”

Joan’s heart sank even deeper into the abyss at his cold, harsh words.

What on earth has upset him this much? Or rather, why is he treating me like so?

“Hi, Mr. Norton!” Jessica greeted as she came running into the room, also with breakfast for Larry.

Jessica was a little taken aback when she saw Joan but still had the courtesy to place her food aside as she offered a smile.
