Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2309
“What’s the matter, though? What happened between the two of you?” Jessica asked out of concern.
In the past, when Jessica relentlessly wooed Larry, fights between him and Joan were not uncommon. However, Jessica was now over Larry. Shouldn’t the two of them have made up?
“It’s nothing. Why is a girl like you so nosy anyway?”
Jessica took offense at his remark and stood up in a huff.
“Excuse me, Larry. I’m no longer a girl! Look at me. I’m a woman! A mature, smart, and beautiful woman!”
Upon hearing her, Larry couldn’t control himself and spat out his sandwich.
A coughing fit ensued as he choked on some remnants of his food.
“Must you overreact?” she scolded.
Unbeknownst to them, Caspian had been observing them from outside the office. He felt a twinge of disappointment when he saw the interaction between them.
Recently, Jessica had been treating him unusually well and Caspian thought he might finally have a chance with her. But after what he had just seen, he started to have second thoughts.
“Stop playing. I’m busy! Hurry and clean this up,” Larry hollered in displeasure.
“Fine. I was just kidding, all right? You don’t have to be so petty.”
Larry shook his head as he stared at her. Jessica was good in many ways, but she could be so wilful at times.
But since he had accepted her as his godsister, he was willing to overlook it.
“Caspian? What are you standing there for? Come in, come in! There’s breakfast here. Would you like to have some?” Jessica beckoned for Caspian to enter the office once she saw him lurking outside.
Busted. Caspian was overcome with embarrassment in that instance. He did not want to go in but it would be rude if he were to walk away. After a few seconds of contemplation, he finally went in reluctantly.
“Larry, Joan has left,” Caspian said hesitantly.
Larry only hummed in response.
His apathetic reaction only made Caspian wonder if he had completely given up on Joan.
A coy smile tugged at Jessica’s lips when she saw Caspian’s pained expression.
“Why are you so nervous, Caspian? Don’t worry about Larry. Here, have some breakfast. I bought it,” Jessica said as she threw the breakfast set over to Caspian.
Caspian stared at the food in his hands. Should I have this? Is it such a good idea?
Caspian’s biggest fret was Larry’s intention toward Jessica. Will he really ditch Joan for Jessica? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
“What’s the matter?” Jessica walked closer to him.
“It’s nothing.”
“Jessica, why don’t you go out first? I need to speak with Caspian,” Larry suddenly said.
She frowned slightly as she looked at the two men. Even though Jessica felt snubbed, she still did as instructed and left the office.
“Go ahead. What’s on your mind?” Larry asked without even looking up at Caspian.
“I think Joan was crying when she left.”
Larry’s stopped what he was doing. His gaze darkened.
So, she was sad?
“Larry, I think you’d better go check on Joan.”
Larry silently agreed with Caspian. But now isn’t the time yet.
As long as the issue with Caiden was left unsettled, how could Larry put aside his ego and apologize to Joan for his behavior just then?
“I got it. You may leave now,” Larry finally replied.
Caspian looked like he had something to say. After much hesitation, however, he remained silent.
Larry noticed how uneasy Caspian was and walked up to him with a smile.
“I’m sure you have questions about Jessica, right? It’s okay. Go ahead and ask,” Larry said reassuringly, patting Caspian’s shoulder.
Although not surprised, Caspian was still impressed at how Larry could always pick up on such subtle changes in emotions.
“So, Larry, will you and Joan be getting a divorce?”
