Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2230
Ring!
Joan’s phone rang, and she immediately reached for it. She was, however, met with an unwelcome sight.
“Caspian, you went overseas with Larry just a while ago, right?” Joan asked softly.
“Yes, didn’t Larry tell you about it? He probably forgot to tell you because he was too busy. We were only overseas for a short while,” Caspian answered.
Really? Then why didn’t he at least tell me about it? And he went overseas with that Jessica?
Larry and Jessica were depicted in a variety of intimate poses in the photos. There was a lot of hugging and hair-stroking; they could’ve easily been mistaken as a real couple.
“Why did Jessica go on the trip too?” Joan asked.
How did she know about Jessica? Caspian looked at Joan suspiciously.
“Joan, why do you know about this? Jessica’s always loved to travel, thanks to her wealthy background. That’s why she tagged along. Nothing happened on the trip, I swear. You’re just overthinking. We’re all just friends,” Caspian explained in a hurry.
Looks like Larry really didn’t tell Joan a thing about his trip. Joan knew that the Norton Corporation had successfully signed an agreement with one of the biggest manufacturing companies overseas. She was, however, clueless about the specifics of the deal.
“What if Larry and I get divorced one day?” Joan asked shakily.
Huh? Why is she talking about divorce? Why would they want to go their separate ways after fighting through the ups and downs together?
They’ve gone through all those tough times, and they even have a kid together now. They should be enjoying their time together now that Gabriella’s finally gone too. So why is she thinking of divorce?
“Alright, Joan. You shouldn’t worry too much. Just trust Larry. He really loves you.”
I bet he loves me so much he totally forgot about me and even found someone to replace me! Joan scoffed, though her eyes were full of sorrow.
Women are sensitive creatures when it comes to relationships.
She was curious about the sender of those incriminating photos. What do they stand to gain from this?
“Joan, did you find out about something?” Caspian probed her curiously.
Joan would never say something this pessimistic unless she knows about something.
“I know that Larry and Jessica went overseas together, but I don’t know where they went or what they did. Here, look at these.” She passed her phone to Caspian.
