Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2002

Ring! Ring!

Delilah quickly picked up her phone after looking at the caller ID.

"We're here, Grandma. It's beautiful here. You have to come here when you have the time..." Lucius

shouted excitedly into the phone.

Larry, who was next to Delilah, could hear the phone conversation clearly.

"Alright. Be careful, you hear?” Delilah replied.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Young. I'll look after them.” Suddenly, Larry heard a familiar male voice through

the phone before the call ended.

The fact that Dustin was there infuriated Larry.

Why must she be together with Dustin? Why is that scumbag there? Larry clenched his fists as his

scow! deepened.

“Don’t think too much of it. Lucius wanted Dustin to be there to help with the bags,” Delilah gently

patted his shoulder.

But that's not what Dustin had in mind. Joan is mad at me right now, and if that man takes this as an

opportunity to get close to her... Larry's expression grew grim.

Delilah read his thoughts and stifled a laugh before she left quietly.

Let the couple sort out the problem themselves. When there's a will, there's a way.

Meanwhile, at the beach. Joan hollered, “Slow down, Lucius!”

"Come on, Mr. Dustin! Catch up!” the child shouted.

Affected by the young child's infectious excitement, Dustin played along with him.

Birds of a feather flock together. Dustin continued to stick around even though Joan had turned him

down.

“Stop running!” Dustin shouted while he chased after Lucius.

“Come on, Mr. Dustin. Come and catch me!”

Both man and child were having fun running and chasing each other upon the shore.

Joan, who was sitting not far away, watched them and a smile tugged on her lips. She's happy as

long as the child was happy.

In fact, as she pondered, she realized that Dustin was marriage material. If she had not set foot back

in the country in the beginning, and if she had not turned down Dustin when he professed his love

for her, then things wouldn't turn out to be this bad.

Joan lowered her head and looked glum.

“Come and join us, Mom!” Not far away, Lucius shouted excitedly.

“Alright. Coming!” Joan quickly got up and hurried over.

Once Joan had joined them, they had fun chasing each other along the shoreline.

"You're quite nice actually, Mr. Dustin,” Lucius suddenly said.

As though he had just received great news, a gleeful smile appeared on Dustin's face. The child

used to think that Larry was the best man in the whole world. But now, it seemed that he and the

man in front of him were getting along better than before.

“Hello, I'm sorry to interrupt. But can you do me a favor?” All of a sudden, a woman appeared in

front of them.

"How can we help you?” Lucius leaned forward and asked her.

Since when did he become this nice? He must be smitten by this pretty woman. Dustin grinned

amusingly at Lucius’ friendliness.

“So, we're actually in the middle of a poster campaign to promote family vacation at the beach...”

It turned out that the woman wanted to work together with them to shoot a poster campaign. Joan

hesitated. After all, Dustin was not the child's father. Furthermore, Larry would be upset if he were to

know about this.

"Are you okay with that, madam?” the woman asked politely.

"Yes, of course!” Lucius answered loudly.

Oh, this child just agrees without even thinking about it! At that moment, Joan was put on the spot

and blushed in embarrassment. Of course, Dustin knew what she was thinking, but he kept quiet. He

respected Joan's choice, regardless of the outcome.

“Let's go, Mom. Look at how beautiful it is.” Lucius said as he pointed to the sea.

It's beautiful, indeed. It's just that we're here at the wrong time and with the wrong person.

“We're finally here at the beach. Come on, Mom.” The child persuaded as he shook Joan's arm to

catch her attention.

“Alright. Let's go.” After a long while, she finally agreed.
