Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1667
At first, she wanted to leave coolly, but she knocked into a man, dressed in black from head to toe,
by the glass door.
How rude! He did not even bother to apologize to me.The man glanced at her before casting a
confused look at her.
What's his problem? Hurriedly, she dusted her clothes and left. The man continued to stare at her
while in deep thought and only entered the restaurant after her figure disappeared from his sight.
Jory did not do it on purpose, but it happened by chance. It was Joan who bumped into him, and he
did not plan for it to happen. At once, he sent a message to Dustin. It said: I am waiting for you at
our old meeting place. Also, I just bumped into Joan at the entrance.
He was also someone with class and would hold himself in high regard as he sipped on his coffee.
While he patiently waited for Dustin, he read the newspapers and enjoyed his beverage.
Moments later, Dustin, who was usually calm and collected, burst through the door angrily. He
headed straight to Jory's table like a mad man.
If not because they were in a public setting, he would have grabbed Jory by the collar and lifted him
from his seat. He growled, âI thought you promised me never to bother Joan again. Why did you let
her spot you?â
In response, Jory looked like he was being slandered. âYou were the one who said that she would
never come to such places and chose to meet here. How is it my fault for bumping into her by
chance?â
âDid you really not plan it?â Dustin frowned.
Raising his palm in the air, Jory swore, âI swear I didn't.â
This made Dustin confused. The Joan that he knew was a spendthrift and would never patronize
such places. Besides being a student from Nirhaven College, she was only an employee of a fashion
company.
Did Larry bring her here? Unknowingly, he said his thoughts aloud.
"How is that possible? We have already sent the photos, and Larry must hate her by now. Why
would they still be together?â Jory immediately shot down his idea. Rolling his eyes, he added, âI
think she came with another woman, but I can't remember how she looks like except for her
exquisite figure.â
Exquisite figure? Names of various women ran through Dustin's mind. It seemed like he knew
someone who would match Jory's description, but he could not recall who it was at the top of his
head. It would take him some time to figure who that lady was, but for now, he was glad that Jory
did not do it on purpose.
Heaving a breath of relief, his voice returned to its normal tone. âAre you certain that you made no
mistakes when you sent out those photos?â
With a childish grin, Jory boasted, âOf course! Have I ever made you worry? I will not let them find
out that I sent it until we finish the job. For all you know, they might never be able to trace it back to
me."
Seeing how Dustin was looking at him suspiciously without a word, Jory assured him, âDonât look at
me like that. I have absolutely no interest in her. Besides, I will never fancy a woman who had given
birth. After all, it is inevitable for their figures to change once they have gone through a pregnancy.
Haha, she is definitely not my cup of tea.â
Those words posed no value to Dustin, and he did not wish to hear any of them. To him, when you
love someone, you would love every part of her, whether it was her inner beauty or physical
appearance. Loving only the appearance of a lady could not be considered true love.
Four days had passed since Larry had been unreachable. He was not contactable by his mobile, and
he had not turned up at work nor returned home.
As Joan did not want Finnickâs wife to worry about Larry, she did not visit them over the past few
days either.
Determined to look for Larry, she even applied for a week's leave from school. However, it was
ending soon, and if she continued to do that, her attendance would fall below her minimum passing
rate. Furthermore, she had looked everywhere in Marsingfill but there was no sign of Larry.
Desperately, she was just short of pasting a missing person's notice around the city by now.
