Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2807

That Familiar Name

When Jake heard the name he dreaded the most, his expression turned icy cold. Damn it, she’s still having a soft spot for that guy!

Thud! With a forceful shove, he pinned her against the windows.

Holding her head in her hands, Joan was petrified.

“Joan, I’m Jake Wilson! Don’t you ever utter his name in front of me. No, don’t you dare speak of any man’s name!” he warned her fiercely.

He had originally assumed that he could live with the fact that Larry existed in Joan’s heart, but he was mistaken. He would still turn green with envy. Indeed, love is selfish.

Jake clasped his hands to suppress his own emotions.

At that point, Joan was extremely frightened. She could not listen to a word he said.

“Did you hear me?” he bellowed.

Raising her head, she was met with his death glare.

However, as soon as he saw her aggrieved look, his heart magically softened.

“There, there, don’t be scared. I just dislike you mentioning Larry’s name,” he pulled her into a tight embrace and consoled her gently.

Looking a little helpless and hopeless, Joan wept in his arms.

The atmosphere at the seaside was very lively, with adults and kids frolicking around.

“Where’s she?” Jessica asked the woman who led her there.

“This is so strange. I just saw that woman in the picture here a while ago.” Anxious, Jessica scanned her surroundings.

Where on earth are you, Joan? She searched high and low for her.

“Ms. Zimmer, we couldn’t locate Mrs. Norton.”

“What’s wrong?” Caspian approached her and asked softly.

“Mind your own business!” Jessica barked.

What an attitude! Larry sighed.

Caspian’s heart ached at the sight of her going ballistic. He tried to comfort her by running his arms across her shoulders.

“What happened?” He was worried.

Wearing a conflicted expression, Jessica turned her nose up at Larry, who was busy working at his desk.

“Somebody informed me that she saw Joan, so I went to check it out, but she was already gone…” she said under her breath, feeling despondent.

Larry bolted up the moment he heard that familiar name. With anticipation, he strode across the office to Jessica.

“Thereafter? Did you find her? How’s she now? Is she all right? Why didn’t you bring her back?” He locked his arms on her shoulders and kept shaking Jessica’s body, demanding a reply.
