Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1882

Chapter 1882 The Return Of Joan Watts

“Larry… I want to stay in the village a little longer…” Joan said and waited eagerly for his response.

The look in Larry’s eyes darkened instantly. I don’t get it… Why would she still want to go back to that village after regaining her memories?

Joan leaned against his chest as she continued, “Ms. Young turns sixty this year, so I was thinking of celebrating her sixtieth birthday with her before coming back.”

Larry wrapped an arm tightly around her waist and buried his face into her collarbone. Looks like Ms. Young means a lot to her… Not only is she her savior, but she’s also her mentor in life…

“All right, I’ll go with you,” Larry replied softly, much to Joan’s surprise as she wasn’t expecting him to say that.

After briefly discussing their plans, the two made their way toward the village.

Larry put his most trusted assistant, Caspian, in charge of things at the company. He had faith that his remote guidance combined with Caspian’s capabilities would be enough to take care of any potential issues.

“Mom! Dad!” Lucius was overjoyed to see Larry and Joan again.

“Why did you two come back?” Delilah stared at them in confusion.

Joan gave Delilah a hug as she replied, “Because we miss you two.”

Delilah felt incredibly touched when she heard that.

“Oh, wow! Selena’s back! That’s quite a long honeymoon, don’t you think?”

“I know, right? Selena, I can’t believe you actually ran away with a guy before you two are even married! Looks like you’re growing up a little too quickly, huh?”

A couple of women teased her as they passed by. Having gotten used to their way of greeting others, Joan simply smiled at them in response.

“All right, you guys head on inside. I’ll go buy us some food from the supermarket!” Joan said and ran off before Larry could even respond, unaware of the huge surprise she was in for.

“Hey, Selena! You’re finally back! I’ve missed you so much!”

Freya froze for a brief moment before shouting at her, “I don’t approve of this resignation!”

Oh, wow… She’s even trying to stop me from resigning now, huh?

“I’m afraid this isn’t for you to decide, Ms. Brooks. I’m going to hand in my resignation to the manager,” Joan said with a smile before heading straight for the manager’s office.

Freya then ran up to Joan and stood in front of her, blocking her path to the manager’s office with a mean look in her eyes.

“The manager isn’t in right now, so I call the shots around here!”

Does she place herself above the department leaders in the supermarket or something? Besides, I can clearly see the manager inside his office!

Joan thought to herself as she glanced at the manager’s office.

“I’m heading toward the manager’s office, Ms. Brooks. Now, please step aside!”
