    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2616


    A Confrontation


    “Why? How would I know if I’m ruining anything?”


    Delh almost shouted when she heard De’s reply.


    De spared Larry a look and shrugged her shoulders in resignation. It seemed like this was just not


    her day.


    “Aren’t you going out to eat, Ms. Duff?”


    “Oh, right. I’d better get going.” With that said, De scrambled to leave the rest.


    Now that it was just the three of them, Delh’s suspicious gaze fell on Caspian, and then on Larry.


    Judging from her look, it was impossible to convince her that there was really nothing going on


    between Larry and De.


    Delh knew from the very beginning what kind of a woman De was, so it went without saying that


    she worried for Larry.


    “What’s the matter, Ms. Young?” Larry asked gently.


    “It’s nothing. I’m just here to see if you’re okay. When are youing home?”


    This reminded Larry that he had not been home for a while.


    He had not seen Joan for days.


    “Ms. Young, Larry’s busy with work these few days, that’s why…”


    “I’m not talking to you.” Delh cried out toward Caspian, who quickly lowered his head and zipped his


    mouth.


    “I promise I’ll go home today, okay?” Larry tried appeasing her.


    “Alright. Enjoy your meal then. I’ll get going.” With that said, Delh went out of the office.


    The two men thought she would head home right after, but little they did know, Delh already had her

    mind set on stamping this issue out.


    “Ms. Duff!” Delh called her after following her to the restaurant.


    De, who was just about to start eating, was so shocked her cutlery fell to the ground.


    “There’s no need to be so nervous.”


    De smiled at her politely. “Want to join me for a meal, Ms. Young?”


    With you? No, thanks! Delh moved her lofty gaze away from De, making sure the woman before


    her knew she was not interested in dining with her.


    “When are you leaving?” Delh asked instead.


    I’ll do anything to make sure Larry and Joan stay together.


    “You really go all out for Larry it seems.” The smile on De’s face still lingered.


    “Joan is my daughter, so that makes Larry my son-inw. It makes total sense for me to look out for


    him.”


    “But from what I know, they didn’t get married again after their divorce.”


    Delh was suddenly at a loss for words.


    She recalled how she did everything she could to make sure they got through the divorce back then


    despite the couple being reluctant. Now De was using this as an excuse to pursue Larry


    unashamedly. To be honest, Delh totally did not see thising.


    After rendering Delh speechless, De continued, “You have nothing to worry about, Ms. Young. If


    Larry and Joan really love each other, no one will be able to separate them.”


    Delh was fully aware of that, but it was still unnerving for her because she did not know what would


    De do to get Larry.


    She knew she could no longer use the hard way to pressure De to back down. “De,” she said, her


    tone more palliating, “Larry and Joan had been through a lot to have the quiet life they enjoy now. Can’t


    you just leave them be?”


    Delh knew De came from an established family. She could not afford to offend her, but for De,


    there was no way she was giving up on Larry.


    “Ms. Young, I love Larry, and so does Joan. What’s wrong with both of uspeting on level ground?”


    “But you know Larry loves Joan, so why are you still insisting your way?”


    Really? Larry only loves Joan? De shook her head slowly as a smile spread across her face.


    She used to believe Joan was the only person Larry loved, but not anymore. She realized it was worth


    the fight. De knew Larry and she had something inmon, and Joan had many suitors too.


    Problems were bound to arise at the rate of how things were going.
