Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2376

Suddenly, Jake felt his chest constrict.

From the looks of it, they’ve probably made up. His expression hardened even as a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes.

“What are you talking about? You’re not my husband yet, okay?” Joan hastily contradicted.

She’s still denying! Larry stared at her pointedly, expressing his discontent.

“Alright, alright. He’s my fiancé,” Joan compromised.

It was the truth. They were currently divorced and had only just gotten back together.

Despite that, hearing her call him her fiancé was already enough to make Larry happy.

“I see,” Jake responded emotionlessly.

It seems like I’ll have to work harder! Because if I don’t, this woman will be taken away from me.

Joan thought that she would never see Jake again after this farewell. Little did she know that this man had already devised an elaborate plan to make her his.

…

“Oh my, what happened to you, Joan?” Delilah hurried over to the woman and asked with worry lining her face.

“I’m fine, Ms. Young. Just some minor injuries I sustained over there,” Joan played it down.

How is this a minor injury? As Delilah stared at her right arm, a hint of frustration entered her eyes. Why does this girl always make others worry about her?

“Whatever you say. From now on, I suggest you don’t go anywhere and just stay at home.” Delilah shot her a stern look.

Aware that it was her mistake, Joan did not refute it.

“Mom, what happened to you?” Lucius ran over with a worried frown.

“It’s nothing. Have you been a good boy, Lucius?” Joan stroked the boy’s head.

“Of course. I listened to everything Grandma said.” Then, he hugged her tightly and pouted adorably. “You were gone for so long. I missed you, Mom.”

Despite being upset, she did not blame Larry.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the room onto the woman in bed. Joan flipped over and stretched out her arms. As expected, it was empty.

Seeing as his side of the bed was cold, it was obvious that he did not come back the night before.

She got out of bed and drew the curtains open to look at the sky. Closing her eyes slowly, she breathed in the fresh air around her and found everything just the same as before.

“Joan?” A familiar male voice came from outside the door.

It’s Larry! Brimming with excitement, Joan sprinted to the door. Sure enough, it was the man who had been plaguing her mind day and night.

“Why are you back only now?” She threw herself into his arms and whined, a hint of disappointment lacing her voice.

“I’ve been busy at the company recently. You can understand, right, Joan?” Larry gave her a light peck on the forehead.

“Of course, I understand, silly. I just kinda miss you,” she admitted softly.

Hearing what Joan said, Larry’s heart felt warm and his face brightened up with a smile.
