Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2279

Dustin fell silent, not knowing how he should respond to that.

Why does everyone know about his feelings for her but Joan?

After a shared moment of silence, they both agreed to leave the house.

In the living room, Joan had plopped down onto the sofa and was flipping through a magazine

absentmindedly. From now on, she had to make plans for her future and start a new life.

Larry Norton, no matter who you choose in the end and what you do; none of it will have anything

to do with me. I made this decision because you suspected me of cheating on you, not the other

way around.

Joan took a deep breath and there was sorrow in her eyes.

Everyone had to overcome the countless challenges in life. Love was nothing more than an additive

to life, so one wouldn't die without it. The most important thing was that one had to be happy with

oneself.

“Are you alright, Joan? I heard you have moved out!” Nancy frantically asked through a phone call.

“Yeah,” Joan leaned back in her seat. “I wanted some peace.”

That doesn’t mean that you have to move out! You could have gone on a solo vacation or

something! Nancy was not convinced.

“Have you not been in a good mood recently? Why don't we go on a holiday? I haven't had some

fun in a long while,” suggested Nancy.

Hmm... That sounds like a good idea. I haven't had fun in a long while too.

“Sure, let's go on a trip.” With that, she hung up the phone. She needed to do some research on

where she wanted to go, what she wanted to do and buy, and so forth.

“Hey, Caspian. Joan and I are going on holiday. Make sure to inform Larry so he won't worry too

much,” Nancy later called Caspian up and told him.

"Got it. Thanks, Nancy.”

They chatted for a few minutes before hanging up.

In the meantime, Larry had fallen asleep on his desk, just like he had for the past few days. There

were dark circles under his eyes, and his face looked sallow.

“Larry?” Caspian called out but there was no response.

He decided to back off and let Larry sleep, knowing that he hadn't taken a good break in a long

time.

After some time, Larry woke up. He stretched his back as he moved from his desk to sit down on a

sofa.

"What time is it?” he groaned, looking dazed and lost.

“It's five in the afternoon—time to go home.”

Larry huffed internally. Work hours may be over, but he didn't have a home to go back to anymore.

“Nancy just called me to say that she’s going on a holiday with Joan,” Caspian went on.

Larry's eyes lit up, then dimmed just as quickly.

He remembered having once promised Joan that he would take her on a trip around the world

Unfortunately, due to his work and schedule, he was never able to carry out his plan.

Larry hung his head low in guilt and defeat.

“Alright,” he answered curtly, picking up his coat and preparing to leave the office.

“Where are you going?”

“To look for Jessica. Her money has arrived.”

“No need to look for me,” Jessica suddenly appeared in the doorway. “I'm already here.”

“And just in time, too,” Caspian commented sarcastically.

“Come on, Mr. Norton! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to dinner.” Jessica proudly

pointed to herself.

“No, thank you.” Larry tried to slip past her and walk away. “You can go with Caspian.”

“Come on, Mr. Norton,” whined Jessica as she grabbed ahold of his arm. “Just relax. I won't drink

any alcohol, and I'll stick to juice this time. I promise.”

"You wanna come with us, Caspian?” She glanced over her shoulder at the seemingly jealous man.

“I'll pass. I still have some work to do,” declined Caspian. The truth was that he wanted to go, but he

didn't want to disturb them.

“Maybe next time, then. Let's go, Mr. Norton.”

Unable to shake Jessica's grip off, Larry relegated himself to being dragged into her car.
