Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2148

"That's it. It's game over for Mr. Norton this time."

"What are you talking about? I'm sure he will have a proper explanation for this."

"What are you talking about? Look at him. He is having a good time."

Walking on the streets, Joan was extremely upset and did not bother to look where she was going. In fact, she was nearly knocked down a few times by the cars.

"Eh, crazy lady! Are you in your right mind? You might just get run over before you know it!"

"Hey, are you sick in the head? Why are you walking like that?" A few drivers cursed at her as they pressed their horns continuously. If not for a pedestrian dragging her aside, she could have suffered from even more scolding.

"Miss, are you all right?"

"Oh! I'm fine, thank you." Joan slowly turned around and continued walking.

What is going on between Larry and Jessica? Has Larry really fallen for her? Does he really like that woman? From what she remembered, Larry would never eat the breakfast sent by anyone apart from herself or Caspian. But he ate the breakfast by Jessica this morning!

Does it mean Jessica assumes a different position in his heart? Joan sighed and continued to walk forward numbly with her troubled thoughts written all over her face.

Suddenly, the phone in her bag rang. She felt a little helpless when she saw the name blinking on the screen.

"Joan, where are you? I am hungry." Caiden deliberately acted like a spoilt child.

He has a mother, doesn't he? Why is he calling me?

"Caiden, I'm busy today so I won't be going over. Just ask your mother to buy some food for you." She then prepared to hang up.

"Joan Watts," Caiden called out her name coldly.

She immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Have you been crying?" he asked immediately.

Her voice and her tone betrayed her terrible mood. Was it because of Larry? Caiden could not imagine anyone else that could have upset her like this.

"No, I didn't. There was a grain of sand in my eye, that's all," Joan replied him softly.

No, she isn't the type of woman who would cry over something minor like this. Caiden looked at his phone suspiciously.

"Where are you now?" he asked her sharply.

"Caiden, I'm really busy today. I'm hanging up now." With that, Joan hung up on him.

She had already done enough for Caiden. She had never done anything to betray Caiden, who was her savior. In fact, she had endured Larry's misunderstandings just so she could take care of him. That was why she did not want to continue any longer.

There were very few pedestrians on the road. Everyone was probably at work. Joan came to the beach and sat on the lounge chair all by herself. She then closed her eyes and relaxed as she took in the peace and quiet.

She did not want anyone to come and disturb her, be it Larry or Caiden. At that very moment, all she wanted was to be by herself quietly.

Her phone rang multiple times but she did not pick up a single call. She wanted nothing else but to be far away from all the noise of the mortal world.

Perhaps she was really just a little tired.

There was barely anybody at the beach despite the good weather, probably because it was a working day. A few older ladies were chatting happily while picking up shells.

"Hey, I heard that your son is getting married?" one of the ladies said loudly.

"Yes, after all the ups and downs, my son and his girlfriend are finally getting married," another older lady replied.

"That's the thing with young people these days. All they do is argue all day long. Sooner or later they will understand that there is nothing more important than their feelings for each other. Don't worry, it will be better after a few years."

"I sure hope so. When they are older, they will then appreciate the beauty of their youth, haha..."

Joan suddenly opened her eyes and a smile appeared on her face as her gaze wandered to the older ladies who were not too far away from her.
