Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1664
“Are you here to chase me away or to mock me?” she said harshly, though she still bagged the fruits
for Joan.
Despite having a thousand words to say when she first recognized the fruit stall owner, Joan could only
utter one word, “Neither.”

Gabrie smiled and passed the packed apples to her. It was unlike the look she gave to her other
customers. Her lips curled into an arrogant smile, and she demanded, “That’s a hundred.”
That is clearly daylight robbery. How can she ask for so much money when she only gave me six
apples? I can’t believe one of the customers earlier actually praised Gabrie for setting low prices.
How did she be apletely different person out of the blue?
Begrudgingly, Joan pulled out a banknote from her wallet and paid Gabrie with it. True enough, the
The moment Joan took the bag of apples from Gabrie, she heard the other party say, “Since my best
friend is here, I should treat you to a cup of coffee.”
Joan did not respond to the offer, and Gabrie took her silence as consent. After thedy boss closed
her shop, she waved to a granny not far away. Without forgetting about Joan’s presence, Gabrie
announced, “Granny, I am heading out with my best friend and won’t be selling anymore for today. If
any customeres by to ask, you can tell them that!”
She emphasized the words ‘best friend’. If this happened in the past, it would irk Joan. However, she
did not have any opinions after hearing that today, and it made it seem like they always had a close
friendship.
“Joan, where do you think we should go? Let me treat you to something. Should we head to ‘Sweet
Time’ or ‘Color House’?” The two ces suggested by her were high-end cafes, patronized most by the
upper echelon of Marsingfill.
Joan rarely visited those ces, but she was somewhat fascinated by them. She nced at the other
this ‘Gabrie,’ who owns a fruit stall.
“No, I’ll treat you instead.” Joan offered, feeling a sense of superiority from nowhere. In her opinion,
since she had a higher sry than Gabrie, she should take care of the bill.
Little did she know that her considerate gesture was perceived to be a diss to Gabrie. It made the
otherdy feel like she was being ridiculed and looked down on.
To Gabrie, Joan’s words sounded this way instead, ”Gabrie, do you think you have the same
status as before? How can you act like the spoiled and willful young mistress of the Wards anymore?
Just take a look at yourself! You are just a pitiful single mother whose only means of survival is via a
small fruit stall”
In contrast, those were not the true meaning behind Joan’s words. All she intended was to help
Gabrie save on her expenses, especially since thetter had worked so hard to get by.
Given the misunderstanding, Gabrie scoffed, “What’s wrong? Are you looking down on me? Do you
think I can’t even afford to buy you a cup of coffee?”
Joan instantly managed to pick up on how Gabrie had misinterpreted her intentions. She quickly
rified, “I only thought that those were ces we don’t necessarily have to visit because they are too
expensive. After all, we should all save as much as we can. “
“Don’t worry about that!” Gabrie pulled out her rubber band to let her gorgeous ck silky hair
cascade down her back. It so happens that she was in a dress that matched her well too. With her
milky-whiteplexion and red lips, she stood out among the crowd like a pearl in a dessert, dazzling
and exuding beauty.
Her tone was curt and was simr to the one she used when she revealed that she liked Larry to Joan.
While she may have changed how she behaved around others, she would always treat Joan with
disdain.
After they walked around for some time, they finally arrived at a high-end clubhouse. The server
brought the menu to them and politely asked Joan, “Miss, what will you like to order?”
