Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2158
He knew that Delilah was capable of taking care of him. However, losing Joan would mean losing all sense of excitement and fun in life.
“Then, you have to come back as soon as the event ends tomorrow.”
Joan’s heart was shaken upon seeing Caiden’s somewhat coquettish expression and the way he pouted his lips.
Larry, we’ll talk about it in the future.
She wanted to explain to Larry so badly, but did not have the time to do so.
When Delilah entered the ward, Joan was nowhere to be seen. There was only a dejected Caiden sitting on the bed, looking out the window.
It was true that Lucius had an event organized in school, which Delilah did not inform Joan beforehand.
“Mom, will you accompany me to the school event tomorrow?” Lucius asked softly while burying his head in Joan’s embrace.
“Yes, I’m going to school with you tomorrow, all right?” Joan replied as she gently pinched his cheek.
“Sure! I called Dad just now, but he said he won’t be free.” A tinge of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Oh yes, Larry hasn’t been home for a few days already. I wonder how he is right now and if the matters at his company are handled well.
Meanwhile, only Larry’s office at the Norton Corporation was still brightly lit. He was sitting on the sofa with his fingers typing on the keyboard non-stop, looking extremely busy.
Jessica was waiting for him to get off work impatiently.
“Mr. Norton, do you know what time it is? Shouldn’t you be going home?” Jessica muttered.
Jessica was completely stunned as the question came like a bolt from the blue.
It seems like he’s not as smart as I think he is. Isn’t it obvious from my gesture? Or is he just feigning ignorance?
Actually, Larry knew what Jessica was suggesting, but he wanted to confirm his speculation as he could not believe that her thought process was bordered on the absurd.
“I want you. I just want you.” As she spoke, Jessica hugged Larry tightly from behind and heaved a breath into his ear.
She sure has some guts! Larry scoffed.
He had met many outrageous personalities, but only one as bizarre as Jessica. It was the first time a peculiar character like her appeared before him.
“Jessica, can you tell me the reason why you bring me breakfast every single morning?” Larry turned around and looked at her attentively.
