Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2181

He had been married before, yet he's still so shy? Larry shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Why did you sigh?" Caspin wondered out loud.

Does he think I don't deserve Jessica's love?

This problem had been troubling Caspian for some time now. Jessica was the daughter of a rich manufacturer, but he was just a nobody. I don't think she'll ever fall in love with someone like me.

"Love is something you have to fight for. You can't just sit here and wait," Larry said, "You have to take the initiative and tell her how you feel about her. Otherwise, how would she know you're in love with her? You can't expect people to read your mind!"

He advised, "She might reject you now, but as long as she's still single, you'll always have a shot. And when the time is right, she might give you another chance."

He's right. I cannot sit here idly and do nothing. Even if she doesn't have any feelings for me now, that doesn't mean she'll not love me in the future.

"Okay. I'll do it," Caspian gave Larry a steady response.

Love is strange. On the one hand, it could boost a person's self-esteem, but on the other hand, it could also rob the confidence of that person. Likewise, Jessica, who was lying on the bed and looking at the sky outside the window, kept thinking about the differences between Larry and her.

She looked forward to spending the next two days with him. Due to her health condition, they could only have their outing by the beach.

"Hey, are you not going to join us?" Jessica shouted at Larry from afar.

"You guys go ahead. I'll join you later," Larry shook his phone in the air and said.

He then turned to his phone and continued his call. "Got it. I'll take care of it when I return to the office on the day after tomorrow. Don't worry."

"We're supposed to have some fun together, but he's always on his phone. What a party pooper," Jessica pouted like an adorable child and complained.

On the other hand, Caspian was pleased that he could spend some time with her alone. "He has to take care of so many projects in his company. That's why he's always busy," Caspian explained. "He's always busy, day and night. Argh!" Jessica mumbled in frustration.

"Give him a break, okay? He's so busy that he didn't have time to call Joan," Caspian said.

Upon hearing that, her expression turned grim almost instantly. Joan. That b*tch again.

But to Jessica, Larry being away from Joan was good news.

"Hey, do you think Joan trusts Larry? I mean, Larry could replace any woman behind her back if he wants," Jessica asked intentionally.

Caspian burst out laughing. "Larry would never do such a thing, and Joan trusts him very much."

She seemed somewhat disappointed with his response.

Aren't men all impulsive beings? But why Larry is so different from them? Sigh.

"You thirsty? Let me grab you something."

"Okay."

Jessica wandered by the beach alone. Feeling bored, she bent down and picked up a seashell.

She had not felt so relaxed for a very long time, especially after being cooped up in the hospital in the last couple of days. With the seashell in her hand, she started drawing on the sand while humming a happy tune.

"Ah!" All of a sudden, Jessica screamed, and that caught Larry's attention.

Jessica squirmed on the sandy ground in discomfort and cradled her right foot.

Where's Caspian? Larry ran toward Jessica. "What's wrong?"

"I sprained my ankle," Jessica answered softly, "But I'll be fine. I just need to rest for a while."

Larry could tell from her eyes that it was an accident. He knew she did not do it on purpose.

"Come, stand up. Let's move to a safer spot before the tide comes in," Larry said.

"I can't," she responded, "I can't stand."
