Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2152

"Joan, what are you talking about? I have no ulterior motive at all!" Caiden replied emotionally.

He is still lying!

"All I have is this one question for you. If you can't answer it, I think there is no reason for us to continue talking." With that, Joan got up to leave.

"Hey, fine, I'll tell you," he shouted after her and tugged on her shoulder.

How can she not tell? I like her! A hint of avoidance flashed across Caiden's eyes.

"Joan, I've liked you since we were in school-this is the truth. I have never forgotten about you even when I was overseas," Caiden said hesitatingly.

What? She looked at him with shock and suspicion.

Larry had reminded her that Caiden was not as innocent as he seemed, but she shrugged it off. It seemed like Larry was right after all.

Was I too innocent? Joan gripped her fingers anxiously.

"Caiden, you know that I am a married woman. There is no possibility between the two of us. Moreover, I see you as a regular friend. So please, stop looking for me," Joan said coldly.

How could they continue being friends after this awkward incident? She did not believe that he could change his mindset overnight.

"Joan, I know you have a family and that Larry is the one you love. However, I don't mind it at all. I believe that love can be developed over time. We just need to spend more time together, that's all." Caiden looked at her passionately.

What kind of nonsensical logic is this? Even if we were to spend every single day together, there is no way I would like him! I have never thought about him that way.

"Caiden, I'm here today to clear the air with you. Since you have expressed your intentions, I should make mine clear too. I, Joan Watts, belong to only Larry Norton. There will never be another man for me," Joan said decidedly and earnestly.

She made her stance very clear. If he still wanted to cling onto her, the solution was simple. She would have no choice but to behave coldly towards him, even though it was not her preferred way. "Joan, are you telling me that you have not even the tiniest feeling for me?" Caiden asked with a trembling voice.

I don't believe it! How could she not feel anything after all that I have done for her?

"I've always seen you as my junior, my friend, and my savior. But you? You've lied to me multiple times, so what did you expect? You should know that I've always hated liars. You should have just confessed to me directly instead of lying to me," Joan reprimanded him severely.

Human nature was very complicated and Joan was sick of it.

"What does Larry have that I don't? Is he more handsome? Is he richer?" Caiden asked through gritted teeth.

What a silly question. How could he compare to Larry? Larry would look good even in sportswear!

"No, you are great. It's just that we are not suitable for each other. Look, Caiden, you can look for a better woman to spend the rest of your life with. It's just that the woman is not me." With that, Joan got up. "No, that woman must be you. I don't want anyone else!" Caiden shouted loudly while grabbing onto her shoulders.

He was on the verge of losing control, which frightened Joan.

"Let me go! We are in a restaurant!" she shouted out loud.

Of course, he knew where they were, but he just did not want her to leave him.
