Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1798
Chapter 1798 Why Are You Here
After Joan had gone overseas, the house felt empty to Larry every time he went home. Hence, the two of them would be engaging in sweet-talking on the phone for over two hours every day, just like any other couple in a long-distance relationship. Moreover, they had endless topics to talk about.
Not long after, Dustin had gotten the news on Joan being overseas and gave the latter a call.
“Where are you right now?” Dustin asked in a low voice.
“Why are you looking for me?”
Joan thought it was better for her to keep some distance from Dustin, lest Larry might overthink.
The distance made the heart grew fonder, but also more space for each of them to feel insecure.
“Nothing, I’m just asking. How are you doing lately?” Dustin asked.
Joan found his questions odd. She hung up the call after brief exchanges. Who knows what is on the man’s mind?
Ding…
Dustin looked at the caller ID, and picked up right away.
“I’ve figured it all out. You can head there right away. Joan is there alone because Larry is busy with work.”
Dustin was overjoyed to hear the news.
So Joan was all alone. Does it mean that I’m finally getting my chance?
Dustin hurriedly packed his luggage and booked a flight overseas.
Larry, if you’re too busy to take care of her, then let me do the job. A wicked grin flashed across his face.
Meanwhile, Joan was laying on an armchair and enjoying the sea breeze.
Sometimes, enjoying a little sea breeze was enough to make one feel contented and blissful.
Ding…
Joan cast a glance at the caller ID, and tossed her phone aside.
Despite her ignoring her phone, the calls just kept coming in.
Joan picked up her phone and put it on the speaker phone out of frustration.
“How are you? Where are you hurt?” Joan rushed to the man’s side.
Dustin could no longer hold it in and burst into a chuckle.
Joan knew that she had been deceived once again when the man broke into a chuckle.
“Dustin, do you think this is funny?” Joan was getting mad.
However, she was mostly surprised seeing him there. She had not told him her whereabouts and was befuddled that he could still find her nevertheless.
“Hey, why are you here?” Joan asked.
“I’m here on a holiday. I’ve been too busy recently, and I need to take some time off.” Dustin replied coolly.
Isn’t the timing too convenient for him?
What will Larry think if he knows about this?
Joan’s face fell at the thought.
No, I cannot possibly let Larry know about this. Otherwise, I’m never going to hear the end of it. I should just stay away from him.
