Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2870
Indeed, if she wants to take a vacation overseas, no one can stop her. If she wants to look for Joan, then no one can stop her too. Also, if she wants to sabotage the wedding, she’ll most definitely do whatever it takes to snatch Joan away from Jake’s clutches! This is just the beginning!
Larry took a moment to fix his attire before stepping out of the restaurant.
But both he and his team were clueless as to where Jake and Joan’s wedding ceremony would be held. They only knew that the ceremony and the banquet would take place in different cities. The wedding invitation only stated the venue of the banquet.
That was troubling indeed.
Some time had passed since the impromptu meeting with Jake. Larry and Dustin had come together to figure things out. “Any news about Jake these days?” Larry asked the other man a serious question from where he sat on the sofa.
Dustin tilted his head as he thought hard about it, his expression was indecipherable.
“I just find it odd that we haven’t heard anything related to Jake for a while now. It’s like he’s not even doing anything,” Dustin replied Jake as he stroked his chin, confusion swimming in his eyes.
That’s definitely not a good sign! He’s about to get married, and yet there’s no news about him? Or could it be that this is all going according to his plan?
Larry turned away to look out at the lighthouse a short distance away. He sank into deep thought.
“Did you check whether Jake’s been flying out of the country in the past few days?” Larry suggested as though an epiphany had struck him.
For a brief moment, Dustin froze. That’s right! How can I have forgotten about that? He ran out of the office soon after.
Just as Larry had expected, Jory and Nancy were having the time of their life while traveling abroad. But, their journey was disrupted when they came across an important piece of information.
“Hurry up! I want to go back!” Nancy yelled, with little regard for Jory’s feelings about the whole thing.
Have you gone nuts? We’ve just barely got out of the country and now you want to go back? Weren’t you the one who’s been egging to travel overseas? It’s just been a few days and now you’re crying to go back. Why are you doing this, Nancy?
“Nancy, stop fooling around, will you? It’s not every day we get to have a vacation like this, you know? Look, we finally have time for ourselves! Can you just calm down and enjoy the next two weeks?” Jory tried to persuade her as he ran his fingers through her hair with great tenderness.
It had been a while since he could have some alone time with the love of his life, so it was a given that he had been looking forward to the trip. As a matter of fact, he ought to thank Larry for the wonderful opportunity!
“No, I simply can’t!” Nancy cut him off before he could even finish what he had to say.
“Jory, I promise you. We’ll do this again some other time! But right now, we really have to get back! There’s an emergency!” Coyly, she pleaded as she tugged on her husband’s arm. She chose her words carefully because she did not want to set him off.
You’re being really difficult, Nancy! You’re the one who asked for a vacation, and now you’re demanding to go back! Did I owe you something in a past life or what? Why do you have to torture me like this? Jory sighed and turned the car around.
Wait, something’s not right. Did she say there’s an emergency? What could be so urgent?
All of a sudden, he slammed the brakes.
“Nancy, can you tell me why you’re in such a hurry to go back? What’s the emergency?” Jory turned to question his wife, confusion painted on his face.
“Argh, just step on it, will you? I’ll tell you when we get on the plane!”
Could it be related to Larry and Joan? Jory’s eyes dimmed. Larry, you owe us big time! Just so you know, my wife and I have sacrificed a lot for the sake of you and Joan! So, next time we meet, you really must find some way to make up for us!
Without further ado, Jory hit the gas, and the car sped along the highway.
“What? You and Nancy are coming back? Haven’t I made myself clear? You absolutely cannot come back just yet. There’s no way that bast*rd Jake is going to let Nancy off the hook!”
Over the phone, Larry sounded extremely anxious. What the hell is wrong with you, Nancy? You’ve just been away for a few days and now you’re hurrying back?
Thud!
Larry barely finished his sentence when, all of a sudden, Jory and Nancy barged right into his office.
