Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2850
What on earth is she doing? Joan began to feel impatient.
She had already planned to let go of her past and embrace a fresh start with Jake. Even if she bumped into people from her past, she had decided to avoid them. The priest’s words had put her on guard, but it was something she wanted to mull over alone.
“Go away. I’d like to go somewhere else now,” Joan demanded coldly.
Why is she angry at me? Nancy became upset at Joan’s cold demeanor. Joan would never get angry at me in the past. Did Jake give her hallucinatory drugs or something?
Suddenly, she stepped forward and placed her hand on Joan’s forehead.
Joan hated it when strangers touched her. She flung away Nancy’s arm and scolded, “What’s wrong with you? I already said I don’t know who you are, so why are you following me around?”
She spoke more harshly than usual so she could get Nancy off her tracks. I’m still going to think things over carefully regardless of who I’m marrying!
Nancy, on the other hand, was drowning in awkwardness at Joan’s words. When did she become so hot-tempered? Did I really mistake her for someone else? But a stranger can’t possibly share the same face as Joan, right? No, I can’t be wrong! This has to be Joan!
Nancy’s resolve strengthened.
“I’m sorry. I was over the line. Miss, please don’t follow me around, ok? Let’s go our separate ways from now on,” Joan apologized and turned to leave.
Nancy’s heart pinched at the sight of Joan leaving. What kind of mess is this? She knew that Joan had recently resurfaced after having gone missing for a long time. Who knew she’d turn out like this!
Fearful of angering her again, Nancy could only follow discreetly behind Joan.
When Larry returned to his office and picked up his phone, he saw a few missed calls from Nancy. He called her back immediately.
“What’s up?” he asked lightly while tidying the documents on his desk.
“Larry, Joan is planning to marry Jake!” Nancy’s anxiety was evident.
She met Joan? Larry’s heart soared.
“I bumped into her on my holiday overseas. We happened to visit the same church for prayers.” As she answered Larry’s call, Nancy did not realize that she had lost track of Joan.
“Where is she? I’ll come to get her right now!” Larry was about to dash out of his office.
“Hold on!” Nancy shouted, panicking when she realized that Joan had disappeared. She turned around in circles, fervently hoping for a glimpse of Joan. But alas, luck was not on her side.
“Erm, Larry? I lost her,” she mumbled regretfully.
Larry collapsed on the sofa in his office. Hopelessness began to overwhelm him. Just when I thought I could find her again.
I can’t just sit around like this! I’m going to find her myself! So what if she has left?
Larry hung up. Picking up his blazer, he left his office.
“Larry, I need you to sign this,” Caspian said politely as he entered Larry’s office. Larry was, however, missing.
Huh? Where did he go? Wasn’t he in the office? How did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Caspian scratched the back of his head in confusion.
After a while, he sat down on the sofa. Still, Larry did not return. Caspian flipped through his call logs and dialed his number.
