    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2636


    A Horrid Misunderstanding


    Now Joan was interested.


    “When? Where did they go? Is he handsome? He didn’t bully her, right?”


    Her string of questions confused Lucius.


    “Erm, he was quite handsome. He was very tall too, and he wore a cap-”


    Before Lucius had finished his sentence, Joan had rushed into the living room to confront Delh.


    “Ms. Young, I heard that you have a boyfriend now?” Joan teased Delh.


    Delh seemed flustered at her question.


    Joan smirked at her reaction.


    “Of course not. Lucius is just spinning some tall tales,” Delh protested weakly.


    “I didn’t say Lucius told me about it,” Joan pointed out.


    Delh blushed furiously.


    “It’s perfectly fine to date at any age as long as you’re happy,” Joan said.


    “I’m going to sleep.” Delh beelined for her bedroom without answering Joan.


    What a cutedy! Joan’s eyes filled with humor as she watched Delh’s escape.


    I guess it’s good if she found someone she really loved.


    Joan nced at her watch. Larry was nowhere to be seen despite thete hour.


    It was pitch-ck outside. Even the moon was absent. Joan began to feel uneasy. Eventually, she


    pulled out her phone and called him.


    “Hello?” A woman answered the call.


    When Joan heard her voice, her heart sank. Her hands began shaking as she hesitated on what to say.


    “Where’s Larry?” she collected herself before asking.


    “He’s taking a bath,” De replied.


    The phone slipped from Joan’s grasp onto the floor.


    “Hello? Joan?”


    De’s voice drifted out of the receiver.


    Why is Larry with De at such ate hour? She leaned on the wall to support herself.


    “Joan? Is there something you want to say?” De asked loudly.


    “Nothing.” She hung up.


    What is she doing? De frowned at her phone.


    I wasn’t lying when I said Larry was taking a bath.


    “Hey? Are you done?” De asked.


    “Yes.” Larry came out of the shower after getting dressed.


    “I’m sure the server made a careless mistake. You shouldn’t-”


    “I know,” he cut in.


    When they were having dinner earlier, one of the servers identally knocked into Larry, spilling some


    soup on his suit. Larry decided to book a hotel room so he could clean himself up.

    “Let’s go.” Larry made a move to leave.


    “Larry!”


    Suddenly, De hugged him tightly from behind.


    “De, let go!” Larry demanded.


    “No, I won’t”, she answered pettily.


    “De, you should know your boundaries.”


    Larry’s voice was tinged with displeasure.


    I may treat you as a capable business partner, but that doesn’t mean you can get away with anything


    you please!


    “Larry, why won’t you ept me? I like you so much!” De eximed flirtatiously.


    “I made myself very clear. Nothing can ever happen between the two of us,” Larry said firmly.


    Urgh, why does he have such a strong resolve? De was indignant.


    “Would you be with me if Joan was no longer in the picture?” she asked.


    “No!” His rejection was immediate.


    This had nothing to do with Joan.


    Larry couldn’t deny that love was a mysterious thing. It could take hold of someone with something as


    insignificant as a facial expression or disappear with time and distance. But what he did know was that


    his rtionship with De could only be that of a tonic nature.
