Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1954
âLook how blessed you are! They're envious that I'm giving you a massage,â Dustin murmured
deliberately.
Without a word, Joan gave him an awkward smile.
Did I ask him to massage me? No, I didn't, but he forced me to accept it. Larry is going to get
jealous if he ever finds out about this.
A hint of worry appeared on the woman's face.
âJoan?â Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Opening her eyes quickly, she saw a woman in front of her.
âIt's you! Are you here for a vacation?â The short, young woman asked excitedly.
Joan got to know this woman when she went shopping together with Larry. It was a comical
encounter.
At that time, the woman went shopping as well. Unfortunately, a snatch thief stole her wallet, and
she broke her glasses too. Later, she ran into Larry and Joan. Squinting her eyes at him, she insisted
adamantly that he was the snatch thief until the police caught the culprit. Their friendship started
with a misunderstanding.
"What? Oh, yeah.â Joan answered with embarrassment.
She couldn't reveal the fact that she was sick.
"Where's your husband? Or are you...â The woman pointed at Dustin doubtfully.
âI wish I were her husband.â The man smiled faintly.
Amused, the woman chuckled at his words.
âLarry has been busy recently,â Joan explained in a low voice.
"Oh, I see. But he should take a rest sometimes, no matter how busy he is.â
âCome here, Mom!" a kid shouted from some distance away.
âExcuse me, my son is calling me. See you again.â The woman patted Joan's shoulder. While walking
away, she mumbled to herself, âHow strange. Why would her husband let another man takes care of
her?â
Staring at her retreating back, Joan knew that the woman had a misunderstanding again.
Whatever. Her opinion doesnât matter to me. This time, I probably won't be able to return to my
country.
âCome on, let's continue.â Dustin rubbed her temples.
"Are you guys together?â An adorable lady appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of them.
âNo.â Joan denied right away.
Instantly, her answer thrilled the woman.
âCan... Can I take a photo with you?â The lady gazed at Dustin bashfully.
Finally, someone is here to flirt with Dustin! The corner of Joan's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
Actually, it's about time for him to get a girlfriend.
Dustin glanced awkwardly at the lady. His gaze darkened.
Where did she come from? Why does she want to take a photo with me out of the blue?â He eyed
the lady beside him suspiciously.
âIs there anything wrong? What do you think about this photo?â the lady asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, it looks great,â Dustin replied half-heartedly.
A chilly, refreshing sea breeze blew her way. Joan stood up facing the ocean, glancing at the woman
who greeted her just now some distance away.
The woman showed her a 'V' sign with a smile.
In an instant, Joan came to the realization that the woman was the one who asked the lady to come
over and take a photo with Dustin.
What a meticulous and thoughtful woman.
In the office, Larry was staring at the computer screen solemnly, but his mind was occupied by
Joan's face.
âLarry.â Caspian knocked on the door and ambled in.
âGabriella insisted on keeping the baby, or else...â He hesitated and bit his tongue.
"Or else? What is she going to do?â Lifting his head, Larry looked at the man with a brow raised.
"Or else she would be gone together with the baby.â
Bang! He pounded the desk with his fist.
Who on earth does she think she is? How dare she bargain with me!
âLarry, it'll be troublesome if anything happens to her. After all, Gabriella is the only daughter of the
Ward family.â
Larry's gaze appeared gloomy. Of course, I know I can't act impetuously.
âIs there any news about Joan?"
