    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1675


    “Joan, don’t feel embarrassed because of your conflict with Larry and bottle it up without sharing it with


    us. Sometimes, when you can’t bear it alone, you should tell me and Finnick about it. We’re both your


    elders, so we understand life better than you do. The two of you should learn from our life experiences


    so that your life will be better.”


    Vivian’s words almost had tears streaming down Joan’s face. It had been a long time since an elder


    had ced herself into their shoes and looked at the problem from their perspective, let alone given her


    some many nuggets of wisdom.


    Thus, she was undeniably moved. While her expression remained unchanged, she had already hugged


    Vivian multiple times in her heart.


    At times, she found herself to be very selfish as well. Just because she wanted to see Leslie, she


    proposed sending him to a child care center. She seemed to consider only her gains, yet never once


    considering things from Finnick and Vivian’s perspective and taking into ount their anguish at not


    getting to see their grandchild in their golden years.

    Inwardly, she resolved to pick Leslie up and bring him here for them to take care of him. Then, she


    wanted to go to the beach and ascertain whether Larry was still there. If he were, she would definitely


    rush forward and hug him tightly before sincerely dering, “Let’s make up, Larry!”


    Subsequently, she grasped Vivian’s slightly coarse hand, a mark left by time. In the eyes of all children,


    that was the most beautiful mark that belonged only to their parents.


    “Are you sure you want to terminate our contract?” That was the third time the receptionist had asked


    Joan that particr question. The fees for this child care center were exorbitant, and back then, she


    had paid a year’s payment for Leslie at one go. But since she had changed her mind, the contract


    between them should end here.


    “Yes. I know all payment that has been received can’t be refunded in the event of a breach of contract,


    but I’m here today specifically to take my son back. As for the payment, I won’t request a refund since


    I’ve already signed the contract back then,” Joan enunciated. I never knew that terminating the contract


    would be so troublesome. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have sent Leslie here no matter what!


    “Please wait for a moment, then. We’ll process it right away.” shing her a smile, the receptionist


    picked up the phone and said a few words before hanging up. Then, she turned to back to her and


    said, “You can now pick your child up.”


    It had been more than a month since shest saw Leslie. A child of his age was at the peak of growth,


    seemingly changing every single day. However, she felt very blessed, for she believed that she


    wouldn’t miss any stage of his growth.


    The receptionist led her through a long corridor before pushing open a blue door. Leslie was lying in a


    crib with a teddy crib mobile. Perhaps he had a telepathic sense, for the moment she walked in, he


    giggled.


    She carefully picked him up and swung him in an arc. Leslie loved being picked up, so he was


    particrly thrilled every time someone did so. His tiny yet chubby hands iled in the air as he


    babbled nonsensically. Having picked him up, she was gripped by the urge to never put him down


    again.


    She cradled him while humming to him. Suddenly, she glimpsed his pillow out of the corner of her eyes


    and noticed that something seemed to have been shoved underneath. There was a bulge that


    appeared very much out of ce.


    Following that, she d one of her hands and flipped the pillow over. In the next moment, she was


    greeted by the sight of a quality piece of jade that was engraved with a lopsided “Joan” on it.


    She recognized it at a single nce as the unmarked jade that Larry had presented to her back when


    they had just gotten married and suggested that they engrave it together.


    At that time, she was still analyzing thepany’s design drawings, so she merely brushed him off


    with a lukewarm reply when he came to her enthusiastically, saying, “I’m not doing any engraving. I’ve


    got to work.
