Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1893
Chapter 1893 Larry Stayed
Gabriella suddenly felt like she made the right decision when she saw how straightforward the
woman in front of her was.
âNot at all. I'm actually here to help you,â replied Gabriella
Upon hearing that, Freya lifted her head slightly. She stared curiously at the woman in front of her
because she had no idea what the latter's agenda was.
âI'll be honest with you. Joan snatched my man from me, so I want her to suffer,â explained Gabriella
while a hostile aura emanated from her.
Freya figured everything out right away.
Ah, so sheâs an ally.
Instantly, her lips curled up into a gleeful grin.
My, oh my, Joan. You're running out of luck. Freya clenched her fists tightly.
âI don't need your help,â answered Freya suddenly.
That response stunned Gabriella.
She truly is something else. Gabriella grinned at that thought.
âNothing in this world comes free. Be honest with me if you want my help. I don't cooperate with
crooks,â said Freya directly.
Gabriellaâs eyes lit up instantly.
âHello, my name is Gabriella Ward. I used to be Joan's BFF..." introduced Gabriella.
The two ladies talked for quite some time before they went back home.
And just like that, they joined forces.
âMom, you're finally home!â called out Lucius as soon as Joan got out of the car, dashing right into
her arms.
Joan stroked the kid's hair. She sounded a little apologetic when she said softly, âGood boy, I'm
home."
âMom, look! I won that trophy in a school competition,â shared Lucius as he pointed at the trophy
on the wall.
The expression on both Larry's and Joan's faces was a mixture of heartache and joy.
âThat's amazing. My Lucius is awesome! Let's have a celebration feast tonight!â exclaimed Joan.
Hearing that great news, the boy jumped in excitement.
Looking at the kid before him, Larry surprised himself when he felt the reluctance to leave.
He checked his phone and hesitated for a moment before he hung up the call.
âDad, are you busy?â asked Lucius. It seemed like the boy didn't want Larry to leave.
"Oh, I'm not that swamped,â answered Larry with a smile.
âThen can you stay?â asked the kid while swaying the manâs arm.
Larry deliberated before he answered, âWell, I guess I can stay for the day.â
Disappointment flashed past Luciusâ eyes.
That means Dad will be leaving tomorrow...
âGrandma, you're finally here. We were waiting for you,â said Lucius as he ran to Delilah.
Delilah stared at the kid in puzzlement as she had no idea what he was talking about.
âMom said that sheâs taking us to dinner tonight,â Lucius revealed with a mischievous expression
Delilah turned to Joan, who nodded with a smile.
âWhen did you two come back? Why didnât you call ahead? I didn't get to make any preparations,â
complained Delilah.
"What is there to prepare? We're a family,â replied Joan before she went to give Delilah a hug.
Delilah was delighted as she patted Joan's back lightly.
Joan was willing to return to the village even after regaining her memory, and that, to Delilah, was
the best gift she had ever received
A contented smile crept up on her face.
"Alright, let's go. We'll have dinner at the restaurant on the other side of the village,â suggested
Delilah while tapping Luciusâ shoulder.
With that, the family departed happily.
It was true when they said that no one could have the best of everything.
âCome now. Slow down. Don't gobble up your food,â Delilah nagged in the private room while
getting more food for the kid.
"Okay, but it's so delicious. Grandma, you should try this,â suggested Lucius.
Joan smiled when she saw the kid eating away happily.
Although Larry, who was sitting beside her, seemed to be in a good mood, Joan could tell that he
was preoccupied because he kept checking his phone.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Larry's phone had been ringing time and again.
Joan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
âLarry, don't hang up anymore. Just answer the call,â urged Joan when she saw the manâs phone
vibrating.
