Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2004
Bang! Larry slammed the phone down on the table and left.
All the staff looked at each other and fell silent.
Larry stood by the window and balled his fists so tightly that his nails were digging into the skin of his palms.
“Larry!” Caspian panted as he came rushing in without even knocking on the door.
“Joan…” Caspian hesitated as he didn’t quite know what to say.
What’s wrong with her? She’s happy! She looks happy when she’s with that man. Misery flitted across Larry’s eyes.
There was nothing between himself and Gabriella, so why won’t she believe him? In that instant, he felt so hurt that it felt like a stabbing pain in his heart.
There was only one woman he loved, and that was Joan. He had never touched another woman other than her, but she wouldn’t believe him. How could she get herself involved in a family poster shot with Dustin and Lucius?
What a joke! That’s the love of his life, the woman he loved for many years.
“She must have her reasons for doing that, Larry. Let’s wait for her to return, and we’ll…”
“No,” Larry interrupted Caspian.
There’s no need for that.
Anyway, she went ahead with the family poster shot without having any consideration for his feelings. There was nothing for her to explain. Besides, she looked happy on the family poster.
In that instant, deep sadness pasted on Caspian’s face.
Is their relationship coming to an end? Just like Nancy and myself.
He had been a witness since the start of Larry and Joan’s romantic relationship. Like any other couple, they had gone through highs and lows, from quarreling to making up. But now, they were like strangers to each other.
Caspian let out a long sigh and left the office. After pondering for a long time, he decided to give Joan a call.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Joan glanced at her phone and saw that it was Caspian.
“When are you coming back, Joan?” Caspian asked anxiously.
“In a few days. I’m having a getaway trip with Lucius…” Joan explained.
But she had no idea that the poster had already been circulating in her homeland.
“I suggest you come home soon, Joan. About Larry and Gabriella, it’s not what you think. But it’s not that simple, either. I promise you, there’s nothing between him and Gabriella,” Caspian vowed confidently.
Joan hesitated for a while. Why is Caspian calling me? Shouldn’t it be Larry calling me instead? Why Caspian? Is he avoiding me? Or is it because he has nothing to say to me?
Joan clenched her fists and snorted inwardly.
“Caspian, this is between Larry and me. You don’t have to worry about it. Also, Larry is not feeling too well lately. So, please take care of him.” After saying that, Joan hung up the phone.
She knows that Larry is not feeling too well, and she knows that Larry needs someone to care for him. So why isn’t she here to take care of him herself? Why is she away and did the poster shoot with Dustin? How is Larry going to deal with these so-called rumors?
Caspian’s brow knitted.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Larry looked at his phone and ignored the incoming call.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the phone, Gabriella’s eyes narrowed into a steely glare.
Why isn’t he answering my call? Joan is no longer around, so what is he still busy with? It’s obviously after work hours. Gabriella made another call to him.
Larry, who was annoyed by the constant ringing of his phone, turned off the phone and threw it on the sofa. Then, he rested his head on his arms at the table.
I’m sick and tired of all these.
He was not only physically tired, but he was also mentally drained to the brink of exhaustion.
Larry had never been so heartbroken until now. It only made matters worse when he saw the poster of Joan, Dustin, and Lucius together.
