Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2149

They were right. Things would definitely die down at the end of the day. All these arguments did was to add spice to our daily lives.

However, how am I supposed to explain to Larry right now? She suddenly felt dejected again.

"What are you doing here all alone?" A familiar voice piped up.

"Dustin? What are you doing here?" Joan looked at him with curiosity and disbelief.

Shouldn't he be at work at the supermarket right now? Where did he replace the time to chill out here?

"I'm here for a break," Dustin answered her slowly.

Did something happen at the supermarket? Or was he just in a bad mood?

"What happened? Are you upset?" he asked her softly as he slowly made his way to her.

"Oh no, I'm fine. I'm here for a break, just like you," she replied with an awkward smile.

I can't tell him about my problems with Larry! These are the problems that we should keep to ourselves.

"Did something happen between you and Larry?" Dustin looked at her suspiciously.

Even though she did not say anything, he knew that her desolation definitely had something to do with Larry. What else could affect a woman's mood apart from relationship issues?

"No, it's just that I haven't been to the beach for a long time. I just wanted to come here and take a look," Joan said quietly.

It's probably not as simple as that. Dustin murmured in acknowledgment.

In the past, I've given up a lot for you, but you are determined to be with that jerk, Larry. And here you are now, feeling sad. "Do you need help?"

"No need. How could I get you involved in this kind of thing? I'm fine," Joan immediately replied.

He knew that she would definitely reject his offer.

"Joan, if Larry were to be suddenly bankrupt one day, would you still choose to be with him?" Dustin asked all of a sudden.

He had been thinking of this for a very long time. Even though he already had an answer in his mind, he still wanted to hear the answer from her directly.

"What are you talking about? How is that possible? I have always been confident in his ability. Moreover, I am not with him for his money. Even if he were to lose everything, I will always be by his side to help him rebuild his career," Joan said resolutely.

She did not know what Dustin's objective was of asking that, and she did not want to replace out either.

In the name of love, she would stand by Larry despite being so hurt now. Dustin turned away and looked at the sea with desolation in his eyes.

"I believe in you. I know that you will meet a better person," Joan said kindly.

Really? Would there be a woman better than her in this world? Dustin folded his arms and did not say anything.

Both of them looked at the sea together with miserable faces, albeit with their individual worries.

"When are you going back to work?" Dustin asked her softly.

"In a few more days, I guess..."

Caiden, who was in the hospital, was very worried at that moment. When he did not see Joan, he was so worried to the extent that his chest felt like it had taken a beating. "What happened to you, Mr. Owens? You don't look too good," the nurse came over to ask him softly.

Of course I don't feel good! Joan hadn't appeared for one whole day!

"Could I trouble you to help me make a phone call?" Caiden asked earnestly.

The nurse immediately agreed when she saw his grim face. It must be something very serious, she thought. However, she could not help but burst out laughing after Caiden explained his request. "What are you laughing about? This is a serious matter!" Caiden looked rather displeased as he said quietly.

Yes, he is very serious about this. But this is too much, isn't it?

He is asking me to call Joan and lie that he had suddenly taken for the worse. All because he missed her so much and wanted her to be at the hospital. Why can't he just call her directly?
