Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2065

Jory burst out into peals of snide laughter.

Does Larry take Rune for a fool? Does he really think that he'll be willing to give up the woman he

loves just to help you? Jory thought contemptuously.

“In the recording, Nancy did give him some food for thought. I think Rune's a reasonable guy. He's

not a bastard. He wouldn't want anything to happen to Gabriella either, so I think we can take

advantage of this,” Larry analyzed.

Jory had to grudgingly admit that Larry had made a valid point. Rune’s heart was still soft-hearted

at his core, and he did have a set of morals he adhered to. Defending Gabriella was Rune’s greatest

struggle.

“Rune, if you really love Gabriella, then don't let her continue in her wicked ways. You know what

she’s capable of. The moment she fixates on something, it's impossible to tear her away from it.

You're the only one who can change her,” Larry cajoled.

What the hell is he talking about? Obviously, this idiot is not aware that the only person in the world

who can make a dint on Gabriella's heart of steel is himself.

Gabriella loved Larry in her own wicked way, and Rune was perfectly aware of that. It was this

knowledge that kept him ensnared, however, quite unable to let go. As a result, Rune had been

dragged into various evil deeds as a result of this twisted love.

To Larry's surprise, however, Rune was unexpectedly firm. “I don't want to have anything to do with

Gabriella anymore. Please don't approach me about her anymore,” Rune declared solemnly.

Have Rune and Gabriella broken up? Why has it happened all of a sudden? Larry wondered. It

seemed unbelievable. Rune had always been perfectly smitten with Gabriella. How could he have

given her up just like that?

“Did you and Gabriella..." Jory began, then paused. His face twitched as he struggled to think of a

delicate way to phrase the question on both his and Larry's mind.

“I won't have any more contact with Gabriella in the future. I'm already seeing someone else at the

moment. Besides, I don't wish to get involved in your affairs any longer. I don't understand what

goes on in your wealthy circles, and I don't care to know either,” Rune added decisively.

Larry guessed that Gabriella had finally broken Rune’s heart once and for all.

Rune had, in fact, made this decision after he'd found out that Gabriella had kidnapped Nancy.

He had offered Gabriella numerous chances to repent, even committing dirty deeds on her behalf to

prove his sincerity to her. In the end, however, Rune’s efforts had ultimately remained futile.

Wearied, Rune’s tolerance had finally reached its end.

Love was a most curious thing. Once bitten, one could do absolutely nothing but to accept what

fate had in store. Rune was thus determined to wait no longer nor push fruitlessly for something

that wasn't destined to be. Instead, he would practice acceptance. It was a much more peaceful way

of living.

“Can you bear to let Gabriella go, though? Isn't she the woman you love the most?” Larry pressed.

He wondered skeptically if Rune had merely said this to deflect Larry and Jory's intense questioning.

Rune, unfortunately, was earnest in his resolve. “I'm sorry, if there's nothing else, I'll be closing for

the day. I'm picking my girlfriend up after work,” he announced, turning and hurrying away.

So it's true! Larry mused, looking at Rune’s departing figure. Beside him, Jory shook his head in

resignation and heaved a long sigh.

If Gabriella already had a man who was so deeply in love with her, why did she have to choose Larry

instead? Furthermore, why did she have to resort to such despicable tactics? What on earth is

Gabriella thinking?

Does she really love Larry? Countless questions clamored in Jory’s mind. The worst outcome would

be for Gabriella to finally snag Larry, only to realize that all her labor was in vain. Gabriella had been

so obsessed with Larry, not out of love, but because of jealousy. After all her maneuvers, however,

Gabriella had ended up losing the only man who loved her.

“All right. Let's leave too, then,” Jory said helplessly, walking out of the fashion boutique.

Back at the hotel, Gabriella’s men were industriously checking each room. Joan and Nancy,

meanwhile, were still holed up in Caiden'’s.

Nancy had begun experiencing feelings of claustrophobia. It was purely fear that confined her to

her room.

“Joan, when can we get out of here?” Nancy wheedled, sulking as she paced the room.

“It'll just be another few days, Nancy. Just bear with it, OK? It's for our safety. I'm fine, but I can't let

anything happen to you,” Joan replied as she ruffled Nancy's hair.
