Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1720
Seeing past his sharp tongue and big-headedness, Nancy could see herself being the best of friends
with him.
After all, there were not many people that could tie with her when it came to Taekwondo. Jory was the
first. So how can I not feel empathy for such a well-matched and gentlemanly opponent?
However, there was no need for her to question whether those past rumors about Jory’s reputation
were true. She didn’t need to know because she was already married to Caspian. Thus, she told
herself to forget about this could-have-been fiancé from long ago.
Plus, Jory had admitted that he was the mysterious S. So there was no telling if he was the saboteur
behind her friend’spany as well. Nancy reminded herself that she should keep her guard up
around such a man, no matter if she did or did not have conflicted feelings for him.
Oddly enough, she couldn’t bring herself to be vignt, let alone resist him. There was a special feeling
that fluttered inside her every time she met up with Jory. This upset her greatly. She scorned herself for
acting like an unfaithful wife and behaving as if the grass was greener on the other side.
But then again, she had no reason to feel so guilty as there was truthfully nothing going on between her
and Jory. Yet, she couldn’t help but have a guilty conscience every time she thought about Caspian.

The guilt had haunted her. It lingered at the back of her mind ever since she bumped into Jory.
Elsewhere, Joan took a striped necktie from the shelf in her closet. She then turned to look at Larry,
who was scrolling through thetest news on his phone whilst sitting on the sofa.
“Are you really going to meet with Alpire Group’s chairman?” Joan asked. Her hair cascaded casually
onto her shoulders, giving her aid-back appearance from waking up early. Despite this, the dark bags
under her eyes revealed that she clearly hadn’t slept well for some time.
Larry turned off his phone as his gaze raised over to Joan, who approached him. He responded, “Mm-
hmm. Caspian went through a lot to get Alpire Group’s address. They’re so secretive that we couldn’t
find their location. I doubt we would have found them if it weren’t because we figured out their IP
address.”
Joan ced the tie around his neck. She clumsily secured the tie in the style that he usually preferred.
“Promise me that you’ll stay safe. Make sure you check for scams if you end up signing a contract. And
be extremely cautious if they make any requests orments. You must think it over and…”
She finished knotting the tie. Then Larry’s hands suddenly reached out and grazed against the delicate
skin on the back of her hands. His brown eyes were rich with affection and care as he gazed at her.
“How did I not know that you can tie a necktie?”
A rosy tint spread across Joan’s cheeks as she mumbled, “There will be more surprises toe. I’ll
learn how to do these things properly for you.”
Joan was a very reserved and traditional woman. It definitely showed when they first dated, as well as
in their current marriage life. As a man, Larry felt the need to shower his wife with care. He knew that
she liked being on the receiving end, so he often initiated things. He couldn’t help but wonder, when did
this reserved and introverted woman learn to speak so affectionately?
Ordinary gestures, such as being asked if one has eaten or if they are alright, sparked an
immeasurable warmth in people’s hearts. Such small gestures often felt way more meaningful than
saying, “I love you.” At that moment, Larry’s chest swelled with serene happiness.
He leaned his forehead against hers. A wide and toothy grin spread on his face as he felt her soft hair
tingling against his forehead. He teased with immense joy, “I didn’t know that you could say such
romantic things to me.”
In response, Joan’s hand reached up and rested on his broad shoulders. She hummed with a
mellifluous voice, “I’ll say them to you every single day once all of this passes.”
