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.

In fact, Larry had never wavered in his love for Joan. They had their occasional squabbles, to be sure, that ended in harsh words and hurt feelings. In the end, however, both Larry and Joan would inevitably reconcile, knowing that they had each other’s best interests at heart.
