    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1920


    The man ignored his wife and walked up to the homeroom teacher.


    “Ms. Lee, why don’t you tell us the details?”


    “Well, your son was indeed bad-mouthing Lucius’ mother in front of the other students. Lucius lost his


    cool and pushed him lightly. They didn’t get into a fight…”


    The crying boy’s mother stared daggers at the homeroom teacher. She badly wanted to give the


    educator a tight p.


    “Ms. Lee, you mustn’t lie as an educator!” the woman threatened.


    Larry immediately walked up to the homeroom teacher and patted her shoulders lightly to calm her


    nerves.


    It was easy to tell who was having the upper hand here. She gave Larry a smile.


    “So that’s what happened. Mr. Norton, I apologize on behalf of my son.” The man bowed once more in


    apology.


    His wife was stunned.


    Who the hell is this man? Why is my husband sucking up to him? She red at Larry fiercely.


    Larry trailed on, “But your wife wants us topensate her for mental distress, medical fees, and…”


    “No, no, no, you should be the one to receivepensation from us.” The man went flush in the face.


    Larry smiled with satisfaction and nodded. “If you insist.”


    After that, the two children apologized to one another and returned to ss.


    However, Joan was displeased with the oue. It was uneventful inside the car en route. Larry


    looked at her curiously.


    “Joan?” he called out tentatively.


    She ignored him as she stared out of the window.


    The car suddenly stopped by the roadside.


    Larry couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere anymore. “Joan, what happened? Talk to me!”


    The woman turned to look at him with a steely glint in her eyes.


    Does he really not realize what he has done?


    She kept quiet.


    Larry slowly crept up to Joan and leaned in toward her. They were so close they could hear each


    other’s heartbeats, making Joan stunned by their proximity.


    “Larry, what are you doing?” she asked in a low voice.


    He gripped her chin and kissed her on the lips, leaving herpletely stupefied.


    “Larry!” She pushed him away.


    “Calm down!” she panted.


    Her reaction made Larry smile.


    “Tell me why you’re mad then.” He held on to her hand and gave her a serious look.


    “Why did you touch that woman just now?” Joan lifted her chin up.


    Larry was confused. Who did I touch?


    “I mean Lucius’ homeroom teacher. Is she prettier than me?” Joan tugged on his tie.


    All at once, Larry recalled what he had done at the school.


    “Oh, no, of course not. The woman was threatening her just now. I was trying tofort her and calm


    the teacher’s nerves,” he exined.


    “She can tell right from wrong. She’s a teacher. You didn’t need to do that.” Joan red at Larry.

    Larry suddenly burst intoughter.


    Joan looked at him, feeling bewildered.


    “Just say you’re jealous. Let’s go. I’ll take you out for a nice dinner!” Larry started the engine and sped


    off.


    Eventually, Joan let the matter slide.


    It had been a long while since they had spent time together. Larry felt a little guilty about it.


    “I’ll spend the rest of today with you.” He kissed her lightly on the forehead.


    His actions warmed Joan’s heart.


    Inside the restaurant, soft music coupled with dim lighting made up a romantic atmosphere.


    Suddenly, the lights went out.


    Joan was so taken aback that she bolted up from her seat.


    Whoosh! Their table lit up.


    Larry had prepared a romantic candlelit dinner.


    “Joan, this is for you.” The man said, gifting her a bouquet of roses.
