Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2250

“Come on, Larry, don’t mock me. You know that the one Jessica loves is you,” Caspian answered tightly.

Larry could detect a tinge of resentment in Caspian’s tone. Larry took no offense, however. Smiling kindly at Caspian, Larry thought affectionately, Silly fellow! Can’t he see that Jessica’s attitude towards him has already been changing little by little?

“Hey, I’m already married. Joan’s enough for me in this life,” Larry said pleasantly.
