Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2778
Confrontation
Della was slightly astonished by his greeting. Is he caring for me? A wave of joy was blooming within her heart, but she willed herself to calm down.
“I’m good.” Her fingers nervously clenched onto the side of her shirt.
“Last time when you went back, did you pay a visit to Mr. Duff?” Right then, Larry asked tentatively.
“Huh? Oh… nope. I didn’t have the time to visit my Dad.” Della immediately explained in a slightly panicky tone, as going home was merely a lie.
Why’s he suddenly asking me this? Or had he found out something? Della unnaturally took a sip of coffee while trying to calm her nerves.
“No wonder Mr. Duff called me a while ago, asking me to take good care of you.” Larry elaborated slowly, his tone sounded extremely composed.
Who needs his care? I am fully capable of taking care of myself, okay? Della cast a complicated glance at Larry. If he really means what he says, he should have agreed to be my boyfriend.
“Yes, I know. Dad mentioned it. But I’m fine,” Della responded deliberately.
“Where exactly did you go the last time you flew overseas?”
Della was at a loss with Larry’s extraordinary calmness. She kept staring at Larry but failed to derive any clue of his motive. Did he know about me giving Joan a hard time last time?
“I went to another country for a vacation. Just taking a break from here.” Della narrowed her eyes as she gazed outside the window with a dark expression.
It looks like she is still feigning ignorance. Larry took up a teaspoon and started stirring his cup of coffee. “Which country?”
Why is he so persistent? With that, Della started to feel offended. Could it be that Joan has told him everything?
