Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2504

Delilah interrupted the bickering bunch and announced, “I want all of you to keep your mouth shut

once Lucious is home! This is my home! If anyone tries anything silly, I will chase them away without

showing any mercy!”

Just cut it off and give me a break already! They're so annoying! After she glanced at the trio in the

living room, she stomped her way into the kitchen and helped Joan to prepare the ingredients for

dinner.

“Is Lucius coming back from school?” Dustin muttered to himself.

When Larry heard him, he denoted in a callous tone, “That has nothing to do with you because he’s

my son.”

What's wrong with this man today? Why won't he stop picking on me? Dustin gazed at Larry in

confusion.

On the other hand, Larry had long ruled out the possibility of the series of incidents being part of

Gabriella and Dustin's plan.

It wasn't much of a challenge for someone as intelligent as him to tell those weren't mere

coincidences. Nonetheless, afraid Joan would misunderstand him again, he decided to keep his

thoughts to himself.

When Lucius returned, he greeted Larry and sprinted in his direction. “Dad!”

“Hello, Lucius.” Dustin greeted the little boy.

The little boy returned the favor, greeting him with a bright grin, “Mr. Dustin? Since when have you

returned? It has been such a long time! I miss you so much!”

“I have returned to visit you because I've missed you too!” Dustin stretched his arms in an attempt

to hug the little boy.

Without a second thought, the little boy sprinted toward Dustin, indicating he hadn't been lying

when he said he missed him.

The curious little boy directed all sorts of questions at Dustin. “Mr. Dustin, how's everything abroad?

Has anyone tried picking on you? Have you starved yourself?”

Larry was jealous again because Lucius seemed to be on better terms with Dustin. Why does it seem

like they have a better relationship?

Gabriella approached Larry again, offering in a coquettish manner, “Larry, allow me to keep you

company!”

"Stop touching me!” Larry repeated himself in a callous tone.

Dustin had a great time sharing his experience with Lucius, whereas Larry had to stop Gabriella from

approaching him. Delilah and Joan, who were in the kitchen, had no idea of the things going on in

the living room.

In the end, Lucius seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He moved away from Dustin and

returned to Larry's side.

He asked, “May I know what you're trying to do? Why have you wrapped your arms around my

father's?”

The embarrassed Larry shrugged her off immediately.

She continued putting on an innocent front and asked, “What do you mean? Can't I wrap my arm

around your father's arm?”

Lucius got worked up and yelled, “No! My mother is the only one who's allowed to do that!”

How old are you again? Are you trying to defend your mom when you're just a brat?

"Oh, your mother isn't going to be mad because I'm a close friend of your father. If you don't

believe me, why don't you ask her?” Gabriella pointed at Joan in the kitchen and beckoned the little

boy over.

After Lucius glanced at his mother in the kitchen, he had his eyes glued to the woman next to her

father with a doubtful look.

I'm sure she’s trying to steal Dad away from Mom!

He marched into the kitchen and asked his mother, “Mom, who's that woman over there? Is she a

friend of yours?”

Delilah once told Lucius not to judge a book by its cover. Hence, Lucius, who was aware that

Gabriella had always been up to no good, decided to give her another chance after she lost her

memories. Little did he know Gabriella was slowly regaining her memories.

Joan replied in a gentle manner, “Lucius, can you stop poking your nose into adults’ businesses and

finish up your homework before dinner?”

The little boy figured out the meaning behind her words immediately. After all, he had always been

relatively mature as compared to his peers. Therefore, he was way more sensitive to others’

emotions.

“Mom told me she'll spare you two minutes with Dad because you're on good terms with him.

However, please move away from him after two minutes. Otherwise, I'm going to be jealous.” The

little boy finished his sentence in a playful manner.
