Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1632Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1632
Dustin turned away and dropped the smile. “You really don’t want to see me.”
Joan blurted out, “It’s not that I don’t want. I just can’t.”
“So you know. You’ve never forgotten about what I’ve said to you.”
“I’m married to Larry now.”
Abruptly, Dustin burst into laughter. “You must have misunderstood me. Am I not your friend?”
“Of course we’re friends,” Joan hastily uttered. “But those rumors are killing me.”
“If that’s why you’re ignoring me, I can stop those rumors by tomorrow. Will that make me a good
friend?”
Finally, a genuine smile grew on Joan’s lips. She nodded fervently. The reflection of her figure in the
mirror behind her was seared into Dustin’s mind.
Joan never expected the news to travel into Larry’s ears so quickly.
It happened when Larry was at his peak period. The moment he heard about it, a rush of frustration
took over his heart. However, he chose to believe in Joan.
As he could not stop his work, he made a call to a familiar number. In minutes, Caspian barged into the
room and shouted, “Boss, what’s the matter?”
“Find out the recent interaction between Joan and a man named Dustin. Also, find out who’s the one
spreading the rumors.”Caspian’s heart skipped a beat. When Larry noticed the other man was silent for a long time, he asked,
“Is there anything wrong with that?”
“No… Of course not. I-I’ll take my leave now,” Caspian stuttered, not daring to even look at Larry.
noveldramaLarry was perplexed by Caspian’s actions, but before he could ask him about it, the latter had fled the
scene.
“What? Are you serious?” Nancy could not believe what she was hearing. “Did you hear him wrong?
How can this be?”
“There’s no way I could have heard him wrongly. The man we saw that day? Boss is asking me to
check his recent interaction with Joan.” Caspian then hugged his arms. “If only we told him that day.
What do we do now?”
Nancy patted Caspian’s shoulders. “I’m sure Joan won’t do anything to hurt Larry.”
“I know the two of them are close, but how is she going to explain the rumor? It takes two to tango!”
Caspian scratched his head, looking stumped. “Argh! How could I have betrayed Boss’ trust?”
“No. We can’t add fuel to fire. Larry’s already beyond busy recently. If he finds out about these
unexplainable events, he’ll only get more frustrated.” Nancy sighed.
At that very moment, Caspian felt that there was no harder decision than the one he was facing. Firstly,
he could not tell Larry about what he had seen. Secondly, he was supposed to be the one to help Larry
with his troubles and worries and not the one to add fuel to fire.
This time, Larry did not receive any news from Caspian about the incident. He knew Caspian was an
honest individual; he was truthful to him about everything. Larry kept telling himself that he had tobelieve in Joan, but the longer the rumor spread and the quieter Caspian was, and the more anxious
he became.
Thus, he spent his time visiting his parents to find out about how Leslie was now. The boy was growing
fast. When he was born, he was completely red. Now, he was plump and fair. In other words, he was
adorable.
“Leslie, can you call me Daddy?” Larry was hunching over by the cradle, coaxing his child. Meanwhile,
the baby was making noises as he looked at the hanging elephant.
Right then, Larry’s mother came over with some soup. “How can a baby so young call you? Come
here. You must be tired from work. Come and have some soup.”
