Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2393

“Where’s Dad? Why isn’t he here yet?” Lucius asked.

As a matter of fact, no one informed Larry about the dinner, so it was unlikely that he would show up.

“Your father is busy today. He couldn’t make it,” Joan replied.

She knew about the grievance Larry had with Caiden, so she figured it was best not to inform Larry about what was going on.

“Lucius, here you go.” Caiden proceeded to place a slice of pizza on the kid’s plate.

“Thank you!” Lucius accepted with a smile.

The mood of the dinner seemed to be very lively, but it was mostly due to Lucius and Caiden. Meanwhile, both the women had awkward looks on their faces.

Then, Joan told them that she needed to go to the washroom, leaving her phone behind on the table.

Before she returned, it rang. So, Lucius took a look, picking up the call without a moment’s hesitation.

“Hello? Dad? Mom’s in the washroom right now.” He ate while he spoke.

On the other end of the line, Larry was surprised to hear the child’s voice.

He could also hear the hustling and bustling of Lucius’ surroundings. “Lucius, where are you?”

“I’m having pizza at the pizza joint with Mom, Grandma, and Mr. Caiden!” Lucius answered innocently.

There’s nothing wrong with eating pizza… but why is Caiden with them? A cold glint flickered in Larry’s eyes.

“Did your mother drink any alcohol?” he asked.

“Nope. Grandma didn’t let her.” Lucius’ answer gave Larry some relief.

Caiden noticed what was happening and curled his lips.

That scumbag Larry is definitely jealous right now.

After that, the four of them continued their meal as though nothing happened, not knowing what Larry was doing at the moment.

“Head down to the pizza joint and settle the bill for them,” Larry exclaimed in his office, stumping the assistant beside him.

“Mr. Norton, which pizza joint are you referring?”

Larry raised his head and looked towards the assistant for a bit before taking out his phone and dialed in a number. At the same time, he gestured for him to leave the office.

“Hey, Caspian. Take a trip to the pizza joint… “

Caspian had been by Larry’s side for a long time. Thus, he knew everything that went on with Larry and Joan.

Soon, it got late, but Lucius was still very much indulged in the lively atmosphere.

“Lucius, it’s time to go. You have school tomorrow,” Joan reminded her son.

“It’s alright Mom. I’ve done all my homework.”

Meanwhile, Delilah was getting anxious as she looked at the moon outside.

“Let’s go home, Lucius. It’s getting late,” she spoke. Lucius had never gone against anything Delilah said in the past. But this time, he was clearly unhappy about it.

“It’s okay.” Caiden patted him on the shoulder. “We can always come here again in the future.” After the lot dilly-dallied for about half an hour, they finally left their seats.

“The bill please,” Caiden called out to a waiter

“Table six, right? It’s already paid for,” the manager answered, confusing Caiden.

When did that happen? Did Joan pay for it?

He turned around and looked at her. “Didn’t I tell you it’s my treat?”

“I never said I was going to pay for it,” Joan replied.

With that, their heads turned towards Delilah, who was just beside them.

“It’s definitely not me. I’m only here for the free food and drinks,” Delilah explained as soon as their gaze met.

Everyone was looking at each other with, suspicious.

“Could it be Dad by any chance?” Lucius asked out of the blue.

That’s impossible! Larry was never here!

“Excuse me, can you help me check who was it that paid for our meal?” Caiden asked the manager.
