Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2233

Humans are fickle-minded creatures, after all, especially women.

"I don't know. I'll think about it next time," Joan answered impassively.

Why isn't she angry? She would have bitten my head off if I had asked her this question in the past. Yet, she's answering me so seriously right now. Is something really wrong between her and Larry? Caiden stared at her suspiciously.

"Joan, are you and Larry ok?" he asked.

"Of course we are. Why wouldn't we be?" she replied lightly while sipping on her coffee.

She's lying! She always looks nervous whenever she lies.

Suddenly, Caiden's lips curved up slyly. He had expected Joan and Larry to break up eventually, but he didn't think it would actually happen this soon. Really, I must thank Larry for going overseas with Jessica. He's given me the golden ticket.

Just wait, Larry. Some day, Joan's going to leave you for me. You can just lick your wounds in a corner with Jessica!

There was a devilish gaze in Caiden's eyes.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You look really pleased with yourself," Joan commented.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing." Caiden quickly regained his composure as he took a sip of his wine. "Do you want some? Since you're not doing anything later, a little sip won't hurt."

Joan hesitated as she stared at the glass of ruby red wine.

I do wish I could forget my problems with a glass of wine. I guess that's why they call it "drowning your sorrows." But no, I shouldn't!

"Nah, you can just drink it yourself." Joan shook her head.

They continued dining in awkward silence. Joan wasn't in the mood for conversation, and Caiden didn't want to bring up matters that would upset her further.

"I'm going home now. It's late, and I still need to prepare some food for Caspian. I'm worried that he's alone in the hospital," Joan explained.

Why is she so worried about that bodyguard? She's just going to ignore me? I'm the most eligible bachelor she's ever going to replace!

Caiden sighed but didn't reply.

Ten minutes later, Joan got up and left the restaurant.

Caiden wanted to send her home, but she refused. She didn't want others to spread rumors about their relationship.

Caiden seemed lost as he stared at Joan's disappearing figure. Why doesn't she care about me? Is she really not worried about me at all?

His heart suddenly sank.

Caiden didn't know that Joan had been worried about him shortly after his discharge from the hospital. But after seeing him today, she could tell he was living well enough. There was no need to concern hersel over his wellbeing.

"You're back. Come, let's eat," Delilah said.

"Ms. Young, you should go ahead. I'm not eating with you. I need to prepare some food for Caspian. There's no one looking after him in the hospital," Joan answered.

"Why can't Larry do it? Oh, what about that other woman?" Delilah asked in a hurry.

"They're both not here. Maybe they're busy." Joan darted into the kitchen.

Delilah's gaze darkened. Why were they both absent at the hospital? Did they go out together? I knew that Jessica wasn't some simpleton.

"Joan, why are you taking care of Caspian in the hospital when your own husband's so busy at work all the time? You haven't even dropped by to visit him, yet here you are rushing to bring home-cooked meals for Caspian. Sometimes I really wonder what's going on in that head of yours."
