Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1989

After wiping her mouth, Joan walked out of the private room.

"Hey, what's wrong?” Dustin gently patted her on the shoulder.

With her dreamy eyes, Joan looked up at the pitch-black sky.

“Dustin, do you think I should go through the divorce?” Joan sounded lost.

After so many years of being together, wouldn't it be a waste? However, if I don't let go, how will

Gabriella ever stop? Joan suddenly sneered.

It appears that love can be very fragile. Just one thought alone can end a bond that lasted for years.

“Joan.” Dustin turned her around and looked straight at her.

"All that matters is that you are happy. But don't do something you will regret. If you need me by

your side one day, I will gladly be there for you.” Dustin looked at her tipsy expression intently.

"Gabriella is pregnant with Larry's child. The child cannot be without a father. That just won't do,”

Joan mumbled.

The only reason she tolerated Gabriella was that Joan was a kind woman. Dustin sighed in response.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Joan staggered into his arms.

“Larry,” Joan murmured.

"Joan?" Dustin gently shook her by the arms.

As a cold breeze blew past them, Dustin hugged Joan to keep her warm. However, Larry was

watching from afar and saw everything that had happened.

Clenching his fists tightly, rage filled his eyes.

What's the real reason she wants a divorce? Is it really because of Gabriella's child? Or has it always

been about Dustin?

He had arrived exhausted to pick Joan up from work but ended up seeing them in such a shocking

scene.

As his expression darkened, Larry turned away and left.

"Oh, did I fall asleep?” Sounding exhausted, Joan suddenly awoke and rubbed her eyes.

“I'll send you home.” Dustin gently stroked her hair.

"What about them? Have they left?” Joan quickly returned to the private room.

“Joan, we're here. We're about to leave as we don’t want to be in the way,” one of the women yelled

from downstairs.

Joan quickly ran to the balcony and saw that they had gone downstairs.

What sort of friends are they? Why didn't they tell me they were leaving? Joan gave them the side-

eye and pretended to be upset.

“Come on, don't be angry. You should continue sleeping in Mr. Silverman's arms. We're going off

now. Bye!” With that, the group of women left hand in hand.

At that moment, Joan was suddenly embarrassed. Due to the alcohol, she had accidentally fallen

asleep in Dustin's arms.

“Dad, you're back,” Lucius exclaimed in delight and threw himself into Larry's arms.

However, Larry avoided him and went straight back into his room. “Lucius, I'm tired today. I'll play

with you another day instead.”

Delilah was shocked to see what happened. After all, Larry had never treated Lucius so coldly before.

What's wrong with him today?

“I have tidied up your office,” Joan remarked softly while standing by the door.

“Alright.” Dustin looked awkward.

“Mmm, I want to thank you for today.” Joan felt embarrassed.

He understood what she meant. But he couldn't stop his imagination from running wild after

thinking about what happened earlier and the teasing comments her colleagues made.

After saying goodbye to Dustin, Joan entered the house.

“Lucius, why haven't you slept yet?” Joan picked him up.

“Mom, where did you go? Why did you come back so late? Let me tell you a secret. Dad is in a bad

mood today,” Lucius whispered into her ear.

Suddenly, Joan's gaze darkened.

“Lucius, go to bed now as you still have school tomorrow. Joan, there's some medication on the

table for Larry. Don't forget to give it to him.” Just as she spoke, Delilah led Larry back into his room.
