    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2689


    Tough It Out


    What a joke!


    All that talk about remarrying and about loving me. Turns out it was nothing but a lie.


    Men think with the part that’s below their belts.


    Smack!


    In her daze, Joan identally knocked a drinking ss off the table. She felt the living room spin


    before her eyes.


    She steadied herself and seized her phone to search for Larry’s number. She wanted to call him so


    badly but she did not have the courage to do so.


    She was afraid that Larry would tell her that he had moved on.


    Ring!


    Before she could dial his number, her phone rang instead.


    At the sight of the caller, Joan picked up immediately.


    “Joan.”


    Jessica’s voice sounded uneasy on the other end.


    “Jessica, is everything alright?” Joan asked at once.


    “I’m sure you’ve seen the news, haven’t you? Don’t worry, I’m sure Larry has a reasonable exnation


    for that, don’t overthink…”


    Jessica made everything sound so simple but Joan could not believe a word of it.


    If it were Casper on TV with De, I’m sure Jessica wouldn’t sound so calm!


    “I know.” Joan was about to hang up.


    “Wait!” Jessica suddenly shouted in a panic.


    Joan jumped and held the phone an arm’s length away from her ear.


    “Don’te back yet. Larry is attending to this matter and he is worried about it affecting you…”


    Jessica exined.


    It was true. When Joan first saw the news, her first impulse was to return to the country and confront


    Larry about it.


    “Jessica, talk to me. What is actually going on?” Joan asked with concern.


    “It’s… it’s not a big deal, just a normal ident…” Jessica stammered in response.


    Is she insane? She said that it was an ident, so how could it be normal? Something unusual or


    awkward must have happened back home. Joan’s eyes shed with coldness. Anger rose to her face.


    “I’ming back to the country tomorrow!” Joan was about to hang up again.


    “You can’t!”


    Jessica’s cold voice alerted Joan’s suspicions at once.


    She must have something to hide for being so set on preventing me from going back!


    “Alright, I’ll tell you! Norton Corporation is now facing a crisis, and now De is withdrawing her


    support…”


    Jessica told Joan everything in an attempt to stop her from returning to the country.


    It was simple. Larry had to devote all of his energy to keep hispany alive. If Joan chose to return to


    the country at that moment, groups with specific interests would target her, thus necessitating Larry to


    divert his attention to protect Joan.


    “Joan, please don’te back right now. Things aren’t too good. Think of it as helping Larry by


    remaining out of the country and tough it out,” Jessica exined helplessly.


    It was at this moment when Jessica decided to side with Larry.


    Though Jessica used to tease Larry to the point of angering him on purpose, Larry could always count


    on Jessica’s support when it was needed.


    The women chatted a little longer before hanging up respectively.


    To avoid creating more problems for Larry, Joan had decided to stay where she was.


    At that very moment, Dustin and Abelyn were on the couch with their eyes glued to the television


    screen.


    “What’s the situation? What’s up with Larry?” Abelyn yelled as she munched on some chips.

    To her left, Dustin watched the news with a stiff expression on.


    He did not expect that Larry would cheat on Joan.


    “Is that Larry trustworthy?” Abelyn wondered out loud as she cast a curious eye at Dustin.


    “He is,” Dustin answered calmly, as Abelyn looked at him scathingly.
