Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2534

"Hey, but he just got here!” Delilah shouted for attention.

“That's quite alright, Ms. Young. I really do have business elsewhere,” Dustin responded, going along

with Joan.

“What are you doing here then? You should leave!” At the door, Joan nagged at him.

"What's this? You seem angry. Don't you want me to come see you? Do you loathe me that much?”

Dustin muttered as he stroked her hair when they were out of Delilah's sight.

He wanted to give the woman a hug but Joan retreated a few steps, rejecting his advance.

"What do you plan to do about us?” Dustin implored her in all seriousness.

"I, for one, can tell that Delilah doesn't know about us yet. And... I assume Larry doesn't know

either? When do you intend to tell them?” He had more questions for Joan.

He understood that he should give Joan some time to deal with it all, but he just could not wait any

longer. He did not want such a rare opportunity, which he created from scratch, to go to waste just

like that!

“Slow down, will you? Give me some time,” Joan replied, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

“Please don't go looking for Larry. I'll talk to him,” she added.

Oh, is that so? Can you admit your betrayal to him that easily?

“Alright, then. Can you tell me how you intend to deal with this?” Dustin asked. He slowly

approached Joan and, ever so gently, pinched her on the cheek.

“Don’t touch me!” Joan yelled upon physical contact.

"What's going on?” Delilah barked at the door from the living room.

“Nothing,” Joan quickly answered.

“You don't like me anymore?” Dustin asked indignantly.

I've never liked you in the first place! She glared at him, her face darkened to a gloomy gray.

Until then, she still could not believe that Dustin, this man in front of her, had the gall to take

advantage of her when she was drunk. He even claimed that she made the first move, and that he

had obliged because he could not control his urges.

They chatted for a little more before Dustin left the premise.

Delilah sat on the sofa in the living room, munching on sunflower feeds as she watched whatever

was on television, with nothing but chilly air as her companion. Joan had a bad feeling about this.

She thought she could sneak into her room and pretended that no one had come to call, but

Delilah had other plans.

“You have some explaining to do!” Delilah demanded.

It's such a mess. Where do I even start? Reluctantly, she turned around to face the older woman just

inches away from her. She felt guilty about the whole thing, but she still managed to force a smile.

“Ms. Young, I'm tired. I... I need a break,” Joan muttered.

“Then I'll get you some coffee.” Delilah rose from her seat and headed to the kitchen.

In the end, Joan did not tell her anything.

They talked about other things before Joan retired to her room.

On the other side of town, Dustin lay on the sofa with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the

ceiling.

Perhaps he had indeed crossed the line, but if this was what it took to reel her in, then he would

rather be a villain in the story and do a thorough job.

“Joan!” Nancy called, and she was crying over the phone. She sounded like she was hurt.

Joan instantly became alert at the sound of her friend's cry.

“Nancy, stop crying. Get a hold of yourself. Tell me, what happened?” Joan calmed her down and

asked.

“Joan, Jory wants a divorce! What should I do?"

Impossible! When the two of them were madly in love and started going out, sparks practically flew,

and the whole city got into an uproar because of the news. What's with the sudden talk about

getting a divorce?

“Hush. Let's talk outside.” The women had barely talked for two minutes when they ended their call

after swiftly deciding on a meeting place.

“Ms. Young, I'm off!" Joan called out to Delilah as she put on her jacket.

"Get home soon!” Delilah responded from her place in the kitchen.

Gosh, this girl's been acting so strange lately! Delilah shook her head before proceeding with the

task at hand.

When the two women finally met, Nancy was a mess. “Alright, Nancy. You have to stop crying. Out

with it. Tell me what really happened,” Joan gently coaxed the weeping woman, asking to hear the

whole story. The latter wiped away her tears.
