Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1952
“I want dumplings.” Gabriella looked at Larry pitifully.
“I’ll go buy them.” Before Larry could even react, Caspian had already run out the door.
“When did you get pregnant?” Larry asked carefully.
Gabriella paused for a second before smiling.
“Huh? So I am actually pregnant? Did the doctor already tell you?” Gabriella caressed her belly in feigned disbelief.
Of course, I know I’m pregnant. I just wanted to make sure you knew too.
Larry’s face soured immediately and he fell into deep thought.
How am I going to explain to Joan? He scratched the back of his head with an exasperated frown on his face.
Gabriella felt both glee and pity at the sight of his stress.
“Here are your dumplings.” Caspian passed them to Gabriella.
Suddenly, she yelped.
“Oh no! Would you look at that? How did you manage to spill all that sauce? You got oil all over the blanket,” Caspian mocked on purpose.
God damn you!
Gabriella clutched the sheets tightly, trying to keep herself from punching him in the face.
After a deep breath or two, she finally calmed down.
Disgusting whore. How dare you try and seduce Larry? Caspian’s gaze turned into one of disdain.
“Can you step out for a second, Caspian? I need to talk to Gabriella for a second,” Larry suddenly said.
Larry and Gabriella were finally left alone in the room.
It became so quiet, one could hear a pin drop.
“Gabriella, tell me the truth. Who is the father?” Larry glared at Gabriella sharply.
Her eyes teared up instantly.
“Did you forget everything you did to me, Lars?” she asked in a trembling voice.
It doesn’t matter who the father is anyway. I’ll still have you wrapped around my finger whether you like it or not!
“You better tell me the truth. If I find out that it’s not mine, you know what will happen to you.” Larry’s tone was sharp enough that Gabriella knew he wasn’t joking.
She knew Larry had a reputation for being harsh and definite in whatever he did, much less something like this.
“What’s going on with you, Lars?” Gabriella asked pitifully.
She was clearly avoiding the topic since she had never admitted who it was.
“What do you want from me?” Larry asked. It was obvious that he was already feeling beaten down by Gabriella’s antics.
He had never imagined that he would ever lay a finger on anyone but Joan.
“This is my first baby. I don’t want to lose it just like that,” Gabriella continued caressing her belly, looking both pitiful and as if she was trying to hold it back.
Larry’s glare blazed with anger after watching Gabriella acting all innocent. He clenched his fists, trying to hold back his anger.
No. That baby has to die.
“The baby shouldn’t come to life. Get rid of it.” Larry turned around and looked out the window.
Gabriella was taken aback.
He’s actually willing to kill his own kid? What a monster! Larry, Larry. Is Joan the only woman you’ll ever love?
“No! Lars, I can’t get rid of my own kid. If you won’t take care of my baby, I will!” Gabriella yelled at Larry.
The child might not actually have been Larry’s, but Gabriella still didn’t want to kill her own child.
“No.”
She scoffed coldly and walked toward Larry with a frigid expression on her face.
“What? You don’t want Joan to know? She already eloped with someone else. Why are you still hanging on to her?” Gabriella hissed.
I want that woman’s reputation ruined! I want her to be left behind forever. In fact, I hope to God she dies and never comes back!
Larry’s gaze was darker than coal at that point.
He hadn’t heard from Joan for what seemed like forever. He didn’t know if she was doing well, nor if she was getting hurt. Now, this new situation was like salt on his wound.
