Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1876

Chapter 1876 Your Husband Is So Handsome

“Of course, silly! Your mom is busy, so it’s only natural that I go with you as your dad!” Larry ruffled Lucius’s hair playfully as he said that, and Selena couldn’t help but feel something off about their little exchange.

Why is he playing along with Lucius calling him “Dad?” We’ve only shared a kiss so far!

“Lucius, you’re supposed to call him ‘Mr. Norton’, remember?” Selena reminded him.

“Oh, don’t be so shy, Mom! It’s only a matter of time before I call him ‘Dad’ anyway!” Lucius said and pulled a face at Selena.

“Look at him, Ms. Young!” Selena turned to Delilah for help.

“Well… I, uh… I’m done eating here, so I’m going to head back to my room now…” Delilah stood up and made her way toward her room while Larry and Lucius high-fived each other.

Lucius brought Larry to school the next day, feeling proud to have such a handsome dad.

“Who is he, Lucius?” one of his friends asked curiously.

“He’s my dad!” Lucius patted himself proudly on the chest.

“Whoa… Hey, guys! Come check it out! Lucius’ dad is here!”

Just like that, the two of them were surrounded by the entire class within seconds.

“His dad is so handsome!”

“You’re so lucky to have such a cool dad, Lucius!”

“I thought his dad went missing?”

The entire class was in an uproar, and Lucius no longer felt inferior for not having a father.

“Huh… Lucius, why aren’t your mom and grandma here?” The homeroom teacher frowned at him unhappily.

“My dad is here, teacher!” Lucius replied loudly and proudly, much to the homeroom teacher’s confusion.

Ever since Lucius started school here, Ms. Young had specifically warned me against mentioning his dad in front of him, and yet…

Selena flashed her an awkward smile in response and was about to leave when her phone started ringing.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

She checked the caller ID and saw that it was Larry calling.

“Hello, Mr. Norton.”

“Where are you right now?” Larry sounded a little anxious.

“I’m on my way home from work. Why?” Selena tried to make herself sound as calm as possible.

“I’ll go pick you up.”

“Hey, you don’t have to! I’ll be home soon!” Selena was quick to reject his offer, but Larry simply hung up on her and ran out of the school.

“Mr. Norton, my mom loves strawberry-flavored lollipops!” Lucius called out to him from behind.

Hmm, maybe having Lucius around isn’t too bad after all! Larry’s lips formed a gentle smile at the thought of that.
