Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1973
“Let’s get a divorce,” said Joan in a low voice as she held back her emotions.
She could not bear to see an unborn child being abandoned by its own father. Furthermore, she did not want to see Gabriella’s face haunting her every day. She knew that whatever had been done was done, and there was no going back.
“Joan,” Larry said pleadingly as he held her hand tightly, his eyes full of pain and affection.
However, at that moment, Joan did not feel even a hint of warmth. Perhaps relationships were simply that fragile sometimes. Once one party crossed the bottom line, there was no way to salvage the relationship anymore.
“Larry, I don’t blame you. Really. I hope that you’ll be responsible for Gabriella’s child now, just as you took responsibility for us before.” Joan’s gaze carried a hint of reluctance and helplessness.
At once, the room fell silent and the air stilled.
We can’t even verify if the child is mine yet. How am I supposed to take responsibility?
“We haven’t got to the bottom of things yet, so don’t jump to conclusions, okay?”
Joan sneered.
It’s such an obvious, earth-shattering piece of news. Is it still not clear enough for you? The child in Gabriella’s belly was the biggest proof!
“I’m tired. Let’s go to sleep,” said Joan, ending the conversation there. Then, she lay down and closed her eyes.
The next morning, sunlight shone into the room, warming up the place. Joan rolled over on the bed but noticed that the person next to her was gone. Did he go to work? Or did he go to see Gabriella? Immediately, Joan’s eyes dimmed with disappointment.
“Joan, the manager came by this morning and asked you to go back to work at the supermarket. He wants you to take over the supervisor position. What do you think?” Delilah said suddenly.
Joan was taken aback by that. She had already been thinking about going back to the supermarket to find some work but did not expect that she would get promoted.
However, once she thought of Freya, a cold look flickered across her gaze. No matter how fragile Gabriella currently was, she could not make up for her previous mistakes.
Knock, knock, knock! Gabriella, who was in the living room, frowned slightly when she heard the forceful, urgent knocks on her door. It doesn’t seem to be Larry’s style but is also not as violent as something Caspian would do. Who is it then?
The knocking continued relentlessly as she slowly made her way toward the door.
The moment she opened it, she was stunned.
“You… Why are you here?”
“I’m here to see you and our baby,” said the man as he gently pulled Gabriella into his arms.
Her anxiety and panic were clearly reflected in her eyes, which was exactly the outcome that the man wanted.
Human nature was interesting at times. It could allow two people who only met once to have feelings for each other, causing unexpected things to happen between them. Gabriella had only used that man’s body to get pregnant on the spur of the moment and had not expected that her wishes would really come true.
“Baby, don’t you miss me? I missed you so much,” the man said as he pulled her into a tight hug.
As if. I can’t wait to run away from you. Why would I even think about you every day? This b*stard’s really disgusting. That day, I’d clearly said that he should take the money and leave. But now, he’s here at my door.
“Well, you’ve seen me. You can go now,” she replied coldly.
At that instant, his gaze became gloomy.
This b*tch really only sees me as a tool. She’s throwing me away once she’s done using me, without even a word of thanks. You’d better not push my buttons, Gabriella. If I get angry, there’ll be heavy consequences!
The man clenched his fists tightly, his gaze bitingly cold.
They say that once a man gets involved with a woman, she would become a drug that was difficult for him to quit. Indeed, that man not only desired Gabriella’s beauty but also her overseas inheritance.
“Don’t come looking for me again next time. I’m very busy.” She then flicked his arm away and walked toward the sofa.
Evidently, she was a stubborn woman that could never forget Larry. However, it was a pity that he only had eyes for Joan.
