    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1729


    In all honesty, Joan didn’t me Larry as she understood him. However, she couldn’t speak on behalf


    of Finnick and Vivian since they had poured their blood, sweat, and tears into thepany. Now that it


    had ended up in such a sorry state, even she herself wasn’t certain whether Finnick would condemn


    Larry.


    “You’re here, Ms. Joan?” The housemaid wiped her hands on her apron. Then, she spotted Leslie in


    Joan’s arms. “Oh, you even brought Leslie along!”


    Joan shed her a polite smile. “Is Vivian and Finnick home?”


    Smiling at her in return, the housemaid then hollered in the direction of the house, “Mr. Norton and Mrs.


    Norton, Ms. Joan and Leslie are here!”


    The moment Vivian saw Joan and Leslie, she hurried forward and carried him from Joan’s arms. It had


    been a while since shest saw the baby. She hadn’t visited them out of worry that she would be a


    bother. She initially thought that they would bring him back for a visit in a few days, but it turned out that


    they actually dragged their feet until now.


    Having notid eyes on him for a long time, Vivian truly missed her grandchild greatly. She cradled


    Leslie in the crook of her arms and rocked him gently, but it seemed that he had had enough sleep.


    Surprisingly, he didn’t throw a tantrum but pointed at them while giggling with his petite mouth open.


    By then, Finnick had also walked over, and he looked as though he wanted to snatch the child from


    Vivian. At that moment, the two elderly people whose hair was threaded with gray resembled two


    immature children vying for their beloved toy.


    At the sight of them both showering their affection on Leslie, Joan breathed a sigh of relief. Phew! With


    Leslie diverting their attention, they most likely won’t pressure Larry no matter how angry they are!


    Before she could even say anything, Finnick had already seen through her and smilingly remarked,


    “Well? Are you here to entrust Leslie’s care to us?”


    Huh? I initially brought Leslie over so that I’ll gain the upper hand, but why am I now on the passive


    end? As her intentions were suddenly exposed, she chuckled awkwardly. “Ah well, I was worried that


    you two would miss Leslie.”


    In the next moment, it was Vivian who exposed her, saying, “Okay, okay, that’s enough. If you were


    truly worried that we were missing Leslie, you would’ve brought him over ages ago. You wouldn’t have


    left this elderly couplenguishing in loneliness until now.”


    Ah, why didn’t Larry inherit Vivian’s humor? What a shame! Joanmented inwardly. Sure enough, her


    worry had been proven to be warranted, for it was always difficult to fool the elderly.


    “Well? Aren’t you going to say anything? Have we hit the nail on the head, then?” Finnick deliberately

    taunted. When he saw her terrified expression at his words, he then gave a soft cough. In the blink of


    an eye, he turned serious and solemnly patted her on the shoulder. “It’s fine. I’ve known about the


    situation at thepany. My stance remains the same—everything will work itself out in the end.”


    “What if things fall apart?” Joan blurted out of the blue.


    Amused by their daughter-inw’s instinctive riposte, Finnick and Vivian doubled over inughter. After


    a long while, Finnick finally stifled hisughter and said to her with feigned authoritativeness, “Fall


    apart? Even if they fall apart, there’ll still be debris left. When ites to money, it’ll be yours if it’s


    meant to be. But if otherwise, it’ll be of no use no matter how hard you work.”


    “Furthermore, it’s not like the Norton family can’t survive without thepany,” Vivian added.


    Hmm? This doesn’t seem right… It’spletely different from the script I’d imagined! Shouldn’t they be


    wearing forbidding expressions and asking me what Larry is doing at the office all day that he has


    ruined their decades of hard work?


    How could it be this scene before me instead? They actually busted a gutughing, then went to the


    side to discuss what brand of crib and milk to purchase for Leslie? Are there parents who could care


    less about their son than them?


    Shellshocked, she stood rooted to the spot. In the end, it was the housemaid who snapped her back to


    reality, urging, “Don’t just stand there, Ms. Joan. Please have a seat.” Only then did shepose


    herself and sat on the sofa.


    When Vivian noticed that she still seemed restless, she smiled. “Are you still worried about Larry?”
