Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2167

Rage boiled in Caiden as he dug his fingers into the sheets.

"You're too much, Caiden! Your mom spent hours cooking the soup for you!" Joan reprimanded him while cleaning the place up.

Oh, did she? I couldn't see her effort. Caiden scoffed. Where was she when I had rashes all over my body? Where was she when I was almost kidnapped on the way to school?

All of a sudden, she decides to be a good mother. Too bad, I don't need her anymore.

"Please don't see her again. I don't like you doing that," Caiden said with a stern face.

It seemed like the emotional entanglement between the two could never be resolved in a short span of time. Feeling helpless, Joan shook her head and heaved a long sigh.

Never in a million years have I ever met a son who sees his own parents as enemies. He's probably the first one. Oh well, it's best I let him recuperate first.

"Fine, let's not talk about it anymore. What do you want to eat? I'll go get other food for you." Joan attempted to switch the subject.

"Sandwiches," he replied.

"Your breakfast is here!" Delilah's voice sounded.

Her sudden appearance startled Caiden.

"Why are you here so early?" he asked.

"Oh, I was bored at home. So, I decided to visit you," Delilah answered.

Actually, Delilah had made up a plan before she came. I'll take care of Caiden on behalf of Joan. This way, it will prevent Larry from misunderstanding the relationship between Joan and Caiden.

"By the way, Caiden, what do you think about me?" Delilah walked closer to his bed and posted a serious question.

What kind of question is that? Why is she asking me this out of the blue? Caiden was astounded.

Oh no, did Ms. Young fall for me? I'm a pure and innocent man. Goodness gracious, she likes someone her junior?

Joan gaped at Delilah in surprise.

Is Ms. Young in the right mind today? Why does she look like she's having a fangirl moment? Does she like Caiden? No way! Joan widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Well, Ms. Young, you're quite nice, friendly, and dependable," Caiden replied in a shaky voice.

"That's right! Do you think that you'll be happy with me around?" Delilah got right to the point.

Caiden's heart skipped a beat.

What does she mean by that? How's that possible? Our age gap is too huge. With her age, she could be my mother!

No, no, no, I must clear the air with her. B-But... What if she becomes downcast? Caiden felt conflicted.

"What's wrong, Caiden? Are you not happy being with me?" Delilah prompted him again.

How dare this brat show it so blatantly?

"No, why would I be unhappy? I'm glad to be with you, Ms. Young," he clarified.

Dumbfounded, Joan was rendered speechless.

Are the two confessing to each other? Ms. Young is so direct; she's a woman of temperament who stays true to her feelings. Joan sorted out her emotions and walked over slowly.

"All right, in that case, I'll stay here to take care of you. Joan, you can go home now," Delilah turned and declared loudly.

I'm sacrificing myself for the sake of Joan and Larry. I hope this girl will understand my good intentions.

"It's okay, Ms. Young. I'm fine here. It's not so convenient for you," Joan said with embarrassment.
