Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2239

Dear me. The little boy's getting smarter and smarter. He's even spinning tales to trick his parents now.

"My deskmate's afraid that his parents will divorce. If that happens, he doesn't know who he should go with," Lucius continued.

When Joan heard his words, an invisible hand wrapped itself tightly around her heart. On the other hand, Larry knew the boy was doing this deliberately.

"Joan, eat more. You've grown skinnier," Larry suddenly said, much to Lucius and Delilah's delight.

Dad's quite a big-hearted man. No matter whether Mom has made a mistake or not, and no matter the mistake Mom makes, he'll still make the first move to reconciliation. Lucius sighed in relief before returning to his food.

"Huh? Oh. You too. You should eat more too. You've been working overtime quite often recently. It must be tiring for you. Here, have more meat." With that said, Joan took two pieces of meatballs and placed them onto Larry's bowl.

"Mom, you're biased! You only gave me one meatball earlier, but you've given Dad two! I knew it. You love Dad more than you love me. In fact, you don't love me at all," Lucius huffed, seemingly jealous. It was all just an act to make the atmosphere less tense.

Meanwhile, Delilah, who was beside them, had a wide grin on her face. "My dear grandson. Aren't you a bright boy?"

Larry swiftly took the opportunity to explain, "Joan, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about. There isn't anything between Jessica and me. A while ago, some accident happened to her parents overseas."

Oh. So that's what happened? I didn't know. A sense of guilt rushed up Joan's chest. He didn't do anything to wrong me, but I've been doubting him the entire time. Have I gone overboard?

"What about you? Are you not going to explain what's going on between you, Caiden, and Dustin?" Larry softly asked as he pinched her cheek.

They had to thank Lucius for giving them the opportunity to talk.

The boy's words had been a hammer to their hearts. Although they were suspicious about each other, and they did not even want to bother with each other, Lucius' words made them put aside their dignity and began rekindling their relationship.

"Caiden's my junior, and he's my savior. Something happened to him a while back, and no one took care of him while he was in the hospital. He doesn't have the best of relationship with his family, and he had some grudges with his mother. He doesn't have friends either, and that's why I took care of him instead. As for Dustin... What happened that time was just an accident," Joan quietly explained.

At the end of the day, the two were still rational; neither of them disrupted each other while they explained.

Joan felt as though it had been ages since she had chatted with him while lying in his arms. Closing her eyes, a wave of satisfaction washed over her. I hope this lasts forever.

"But Caiden always liked you. Isn't that so?" Larry suddenly said.

That's right. That man is tough to get rid of. He's still young, so he's easily blinded by love. It's just a pity for Noelle, who has been waiting for him for so long to no avail.

But I'm sure that if she's determined enough, Caiden will realize how good she is.

"But the one I love is you, Larry. You have to remember that no matter what the others say and treat me, I only have you in my heart," Joan murmured before kissing the man's cheek. Her words moved Larry, and his grip around her waist tightened.

I knew it. She won't betray me. It seems like I've been too selfish to have doubted her.

"What are you talking about? You were equally angry back then. Honestly, you look cute when you're jealous, but I was quite sad when you were angry," Joan mumbled.
