Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2468
Well, there is, but I find it really irritating!
“What are you going on about? You’re the only one I love,” Larry assured.
“Who are you talking to?” Della demanded in a booming voice as she walked in out of the blue.
Hmm? Why is there a woman’s voice? Unease flooding her, Joan stared at the cell phone in her hand suspiciously.
“Hello? Where are you now, Larry?” she inquired.
“I’m handling some matters outside. I’ll be hanging up, okay? I’ve still got some things to do.” After saying that, Lary hung up the phone.
“Hello, Larry? Hello?”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Delilah questioned in concern while instantly rushing over.
“Huh? No, everything’s fine,” Joan replied softly.
Who exactly is that woman earlier? She didn’t sound familiar at all, so I probably don’t know her. Tilting her head, she plunged into deep contemplation as she gazed at the moon outside. God, I should’ve agreed to remarry him back then! Look what happened now! Everyone knows that he’s currently single, so there must be tons of women eyeing him!
At that very moment, regret swamped her.
“Was it a woman?” Della asked without shying away.
“How did it go?” Larry queried in a low voice, deliberately changing the subject.
“Answer my question first. Who was on the phone with you earlier?” Della demanded brashly, making it obvious that she was peeved.
“It was my wife,” Larry answered, loud and clear.
At that, the woman got to her feet and sauntered toward Larry. There was a trace of tenderness in her eyes, yet it was also tinged with a veiled gleam of icy coldness.
“You’re mine, now and forever. In the future, you can only marry me!” Della declared ruthlessly.
The oppressive aura and vicious air radiating from her had Larry shuddering imperceptibly.
I’ve always heard that Della Duff is a person who would do anything at all to attain her goal. Of course, her goal has always been her ambition and aspiration career-wise though she has never once violated the law. Indeed, my meeting with her today has proved that this woman is truly something else. Damn it! She’s really a competitive woman who can’t accept defeat. However, I’ll never yield!
“Please get your facts straight, Ms. Duff. Despite my divorced status now, I have a girlfriend. Thus, please don’t pester me anymore. Also, I’m very thankful to you about Mr. Lancaster’s matter, but you don’t need to intervene anymore either.” As he said that, he turned away to gaze out the window and ignored her pointedly.
Well, well… He’s quite ballsy! Della studied him with a faint smile on her face. I like him all the more now!
She then smirked meaningfully before leaving the room.
As Larry stared at her back, he heaved a long sigh. God, problems are truly coming at me one after another! He knew that massive trouble was gradually heading his way, but he was afraid Joan would get the wrong impression if she were to learn about it.
