Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2828
That’s ridiculous! Since when are we obligated to exin everything to her? Visibly annoyed, Larry shot
a scathing re at Caspian.
“Alright, then.” De wiped away her tears and left the office without saying another word.
Knowing that Jake had been keeping Joanpany, De decided that she would not act rashly right
now. Nevertheless, to err on the side of caution, she continued to monitor their interactions closely. She
had even hired people to capture their daily lives in photographs.
Larry was still under the impression that Joan was dead, and De was not prepared to let him believe
otherwise.
Not long after that, she was back in Larry’s office.
“Larry, it’s been a long while since Joan’s death. You can’t possibly be thinking about being single
forever?” De asked tentatively, thinking that she would suffer a great loss if Larry decided he never
wanted to get remarried. After all, she was still waiting for him to change his mind about her.
The man was momentarily startled by her question but soon resumed hisposure. He shot her a
scornful nce, refusing to engage in a conversation with her.
His constant indifference toward her was too much for De to bear. She had traveled all the way here
to spend time with him, only to have her heart broken by his utter apathy.
“Larry Norton!” she yelled, overtaken by resentment.
“De, I’m really mmed with work here. If there’s nothing urgent, can you please leave?” Larry
responded impassively.
Why is he constantly pushing me away? Does he really hate me so much? Nevertheless, De turned
around and plopped down on the sofa as she renewed her resolve in getting the man.
Sometimes she was confused and at a loss over her real intention in going after Larry. She wasn’t sure
if it was out of true love, or if it had be a mere mission she wanted to aplish.
Regardless, I must have him!
While Larry continued to ignore her presence, De slowly got used to spending time by herself. She
lounged on the office sofa and stopped pestering him.

In Jake’s vi, Joan seemed to be immersed in bliss as she happily tended to the flowers in the yard
with a few housemaids.
“Joan, why don’t you leave this job to the housemaids?” Jake walked over and pinched her cheek
softly.
“I have time to kill anyway. Might as well help them out while I’m at it.” Joan smiled at him.
Her bright grin lightened him up, and his lips curled up in a contented smile. This is the ideal life I have
been searching for; to spend each and every day with the one I love, having a stable and predictable
routine with just the two of us.
“Don’t you need to go to work today?” Joan asked.
“I do. I’m actually heading out soon,” the man replied while stroking her hair gently.
This is my happily-ever-after.
On a rted note, Jake’s temper had improved considerably ever since Joan came into his life.
Before this, he was not only selfish and self-serving but also distant and reserved. But now, he was
warm and more than considerate when it came to the woman. One might say that such was the power
of love.
After spending time in each other’s arms for another few minutes, Jake finally left for work.
To Joan, this was her whole life. She would not have imagined that a part of her memory was still
buried deep in her mind.
Thump! Thump! Thump! A series of urgent knocks rang out at the door.
“Who is it?” a voice called out from the yard.
Outside the door, De was startled upon hearing the familiar voice. Isn’t that Joan’s voice? She is
indeed living here. “It’s me!” De replied aloud.
A woman? Joan frowned a little and hurried to the door. As the door swung open, a broad grin shed
across De’s face. “It’s been a while, Joan.”
Huh? She knows me? I don’t know her… Joan looked quizzically at the woman standing before her.
“Who are you? Are you here for Jake?”
