Chapter 2477 Who Is This Beautiful Woman
“This is my best friend, Caspian,” Larry replied.
“Hi, how is it going?” Caspian greeted the woman politely.
He smiled courteously at her. Caspian could tell from the woman’s demeanor that she came from a prominent background.
“Hi, I’m Della, Larry’s girlfriend,” she replied bluntly.
Caspian was dumbfounded. Larry was stirred up by Della’s self-serving reply and growled at her, “Della, watch your mouth!”
Despite his serious objection, Della did not seem to care at all about the man’s perspective.
“Um, Larry, care to explain what’s going on here?” Caspian stammered.
“It’s as simple as what you are witnessing. Larry Norton here is my boyfriend. I’m Della Duff, his girlfriend,” Della announced matter-of-factly.
Her explanation did little to alleviate Caspian’s confusion as his gaze shifted between Larry and Della in befuddlement.
How is this possible? Larry only has eyes for Joan, it’s unlikely that he has fallen for another girl. Was there some kind of accident that I don’t know about?
“Caspian, don’t listen to her. It’s all nonsense,” Larry tried to explain.
“Why are you so shy? That’s not how I remember you,” Della said while lifting the man’s chin playfully with her finger.
Why are they interacting so intimately? Caspian took a step back instinctively and attempted to retreat from the ward when the man on the hospital bed called out, “You stop right there!”
Caspian stopped midstride and asked, “Yes, Larry?”
“Who said you can excuse yourself?” Larry barked.
Caspian floundered, not knowing what to do next. Do I just stand here while the two flirt? I can’t watch that any longer! At last, he smiled awkwardly and fell silent.
“There’s something I need to discuss with Caspian. Leave us alone,” Larry said aloofly to Della.
Instead of being offended by the man’s indifference, Della paused briefly before retreating from the ward.
“Nice meeting you.” Della patted Caspian’s shoulder and smiled sweetly.
“Come over here!” Larry bellowed at Caspian who was left in a daze.
“Hey, Larry. What’s your order? Just say the word and it’ll be done.”
He can’t possibly believe Della’s blabber? Larry studied the man’s expression closely.
“Can you just pretend you haven’t seen anything just now?”
But I did see what happened! Caspian found himself in a great dilemma as he scratched the back of his head.
“Can’t you do it?” Larry asked.
“Frankly, it would be a lot easier if you just tell me what happened between you two.” This will make more sense than forgetting what I have seen.
Larry pondered on Caspian’s suggestion. Given his impulsive personality, it is quite possible that he may accidentally blab about Della in front of Joan.
After much deliberation, Larry decided to come clean and told Caspian about everything that had transpired.
“Larry, you should have told me sooner. You have no idea how much we were concerned for your safety back home. Although you didn’t tell us you had been in an accident, Joan and I were so worried we couldn’t sleep every night thinking that something terrible might have happened to you!” Caspian was practically yelling at the end of his sentence.
This was the first time he raised his voice at Larry.
Nevertheless, Larry was not offended, knowing that Caspian had just channeled his concerns into anger.
“Haven’t I just told you everything? Can you please calm down?”
Caspian fell silent. The air became still in the room as tension grew. Caspian sat down on the sofa and tilted his head away from Larry to demonstrate his protest.
Since when has he become such a child? Larry looked at Caspian and wondered to himself.
