    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2630


    Hangover


    I guess she really chose Larry in the end. Caiden got up slowly to leave.


    “Caiden!” Delh suddenly called out.


    “Thank you for sending her home,” she said with a smile.


    “It’s fine,” he answered cidly.


    “Have you been well?”


    Somehow, Caiden lost part of his warm demeanor in the presence of this olddy.


    “I’ve been well,” he replied nonchntly.


    Sensing his awkwardness, Delh cut the pleasantries short and sent him on his way.


    “Larry, I missed you so much!” Joan mumbled from where shey on the bed.


    “Joan, do you want some water?” Larry asked while he stroked her forehead.


    “Larry!”


    She flipped around and hugged him tightly around the waist.


    Recognizing the familiar scent and warmth of Larry’s body, she tried to burrow closer into him. She


    mumbled his name over and over, almost purring like a kitten in his embrace.


    After spending some time staring at the full moon outside the windows, Larry eventually fell asleep.


    The next morning, Joan woke up to the sight of sunlight streaming in through the windows. She


    stretchedzily and felt around for Larry. She smiled when she discovered he was still in bed.


    “Are you awake?” He cupped her face in his hands before giving her a soft kiss on her forehead.


    “Yeah,” she answered softly. She hooked her arms behind Larry’s neck and stared at him.


    “Where did you gost night? Do you remember anything?” Larry probed while stroking her hair.


    Last night? We had a staff dinner, right? Joan wrecked her brains trying to recallst night’s events.


    Damn it, I think I was drunkst night.


    “Erm, I drankst night,” she confessed awkwardly while scratching the back of her head.


    “And then what happened?” Larry asked.


    Nothing, right? She stared at him in confusion.


    “And then I came home,” she dered confidently.


    “How did you get home?”


    Oh, did I get a cab homest night? Why can’t I remember anything? Did Larry drive me home?


    Joan looked at Larry abashedly as she asked, “Didn’t youe and get mest night?”


    “No,” came his answer.


    “Joan, you know getting drunk is dangerous, right? I’ve told you so many times not to drink in public


    anymore.”


    Larry would always nag Joan every time she drank alcohol.


    But I can’t always refuse to drink. Just look atst night.


    “I know. Last night was just a one-off thing,” Joan exined.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Promise me you’ll avoid drinking next time, alright?” Larry coaxed.


    Joan nodded obediently and didn’t protest. She would say yes to anything uttered with his maic


    tone.


    “Joan! I prepared some soup to help you with your hangover!” Delh yelled from the living room.


    “Coming!” Joan quickly answered.


    They got dressed before washing up in the washroom.


    “Here it is. You should drink more of it,” Delh said as she passed a bowl to Joan.


    “Thank you, Ms. Young. I’m sorry for troubling you,” Joan replied with an awkward smile.


    “If you’re so sorry about it, why did you drink alcohol?”


    Delh red at her while she stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth.


    Joan lowered her head in shame at Delh’s unusually chilly demeanor.


    “Ms. Young, I got a present for you,” Larry blurted.


    Delh’s head swiveled toward Larry in an instant.


    “Why are you giving me a present all of a sudden?” she questioned.
