    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1759


    Larry tried to hold hisughter in. “I’ll call to get them to hurry up.”


    Before he could pick up his phone, Joan saw two figures walking toward them. “They’re here! Look,


    they’re here!”


    As the pair got to the table, Nancy slung her bag over one of the empty chairs. “I’m so sorry,” she


    apologized. “We were held up by traffic.”


    “Did you drive here?” Larry asked as he epted the menu from one of the servers and passed it to


    Nancy.


    Nancy nodded earnestly.


    Larry pointed at Caspian and burst outughing. “Come on, Caspian. You have to improve your driving


    skills! Aren’t you ashamed to always have Nancy drive you around?”


    “But that’s only because Nancy doesn’t let anyone else touch her precious car,” Caspian whined.


    Joan ignored them and looked at Nancy. “What would you like to get?”


    Nancy cast a cursory nce at the menu before handing it to her husband. “I can’t think of what to


    order. You can decide for me, Caspian.”


    Caspian seemed to be in high spirits as he ced an order for four different coffees. He had a smile on


    the entire time he was chatting with the server, a stark contrast from his usual scowl.


    “Boss, how has Leslie been?”


    Larry and Joan exchanged nces and smiled. “Speaking of Leslie, we really have to thank Nancy for


    the brilliant idea of sending him to my parents’. We’ll pay him a visit when we’re free.”


    “Ever since what happened to Norton Corporation, I realized that having a child is a lifelong


    children down with us,” Joan said with a sigh.


    Nancy looked at her quizzically. “Joan, that was too profound for me.”


    “You’ll understand when you have a child,” Joan replied while stifling a chuckle.


    Larry immediately added, “Oh yes, if you have a daughter, we can be inws! And if you have a son,


    our kids can be blood brothers!”


    Caspian lowered his head and smiled. When he saw that Nancy had be speechless and turned


    red, he gently nudged her to get her attention.


    Instead of turning to him, Nancy looked straight at Joan and Larry. “We don’t have ns for that,” she


    said matter-of-factly.


    Caspian’s heart dropped as soon as the words left her mouth, but he still tried his best to look normal


    and salvage the awkward situation. “Well, yes. We don’t have ns yet.”


    Joan found Nancy’s reaction very strange. Being so straightforward about not having children made it


    seem as if she was intentionally avoiding something. Joan thought she might be overthinking when she


    noticed Larry also had on a forced, awkward smile. She knew then that he felt the same as she did.


    The awkward silence had be too much to bear, and Caspian knew he had to do something to


    break the ice.


    “Larry, Joan, because of some of the misunderstandings Nancy and I had in the past, we have made


    you worry about us. Now that we finally have this opportunity, please let this meal be my treat. It’s our


    way of thanking you for all your help. Isn’t that right, Nancy?”


    Nancy wasn’t expecting Caspian to lob a question at her, so her surprise was palpable when he did.


    “Yes, that’s right. Even though we have settled some of our differences, there are still other

    disagreements. Hopefully, things will get better as time goes. But even if they don’t, we can only do our


    best with what we have now and live every day to its fullest.”


    Larry and Joan couldn’t help but feel that there was an underlying meaning to Nancy’s words. But no


    matter how hard they tried to decipher, they just couldn’t figure it out.


    Caspian may not be the brightest bulb around, but even he could tell something has changed. Ever


    since that fight, Nancy was never the same again.
