Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2269

"Alright, stop crying. Don't mind them anymore. I don't believe you can't succeed without their help. Listen to me, Jessica. The more they look down on you, the more you should prove yourself to them!" Caspian tried to cheer her up.

"You might be right. But sometimes, I really replace it hard to get over this. Why does everyone have to be so snobbish in this world?"

What a naive girl. She's not at a young age anymore, yet she has no idea how the world runs. Sometimes, even a stranger is closer than a relative. This sad truth happens to be a cruel reality in life.

On the other hand, there was one thing Jessica could not wrap her head around. It turned out when she was down, the first person that came to her mind was Caspian but not Larry.

Forget it. I don't want to think about anything anymore. This life is such a mess!

Jessica turned her face away from Caspian and starting munching on an apple.

"Uh... that apple's mine..."

"So what? I am the one who bought it."

Fine... As long as she's happy. Caspian shrugged and shifted his gaze out of the window.

In fact, he was grateful for what happened. He used to have such an impetuous temper that he could hardly settle his heart for anything. But after all these, he felt that he could finally think about his future with a calmer mind.

"What happened? Are you crying?" Larry walked in and was slightly shocked by what he saw.

Jessica immediately wiped off the tears on her chin without saying a word.

Caspian looked at Larry and shrugged.

"Did anyone upset you?" Larry asked while slowly sit down on the couch beside the woman.

Jessica acted pissed while pointing her finger at Caspian. "Yes, I'm upset. This guy here disdains me just because I ate his apple."

What the hell? She is upset because of her shameless relatives. Why does she blame it on me now? What an unpredictable woman.

"Caspian, now that is very unkind of you. Jessica comes almost every day to visit you, while those fruits are either bought by her or me. How could you disdain her over this?" Larry joked sarcastically.

He knew Caspian well enough to know that the latter was most probably kidding with Jessica. He knew there must be another reason that made the woman cry.

"Actually, I'm crying because of those relatives of mien. How can they treat me like this? Are they even human?" Jessica took another bite of the apple, feeling utterly resented.

This was exactly how Larry had predicted it to be.

"Yeah? What then? What do you plan to do next?" he asked.

Jessica fell into silence for a long while, soon realizing that Larry was her last option.

"Mr. Norton, you are such a generous tycoon, at the same time with a perfect look and personality. Plus, money keeps pouring into your pocket with every single minute passing. So, why don't you help me out?" Jessica coaxed genuinely.

Finally, she asks for help. Larry's eyes secretly beamed with delight.

"So you finally tasted betrayal from the close ones, didn't you? Let me tell you this. Not a single relative of yours is better than Caspian. He was even willing to risk exchange his life for yours." Upon speaking, Larry blinked at the man lying on the bed.

Caspian avoided his eyes, his face blushing from shyness.

On the other hand, Jessica comprehended what Larry meant, but she could not determine if her feelings towards Caspian were friendship or love. That was why she had acted dumb up till now.

Larry suddenly suggested a proposal, saying, "There is something you could do. List down the names for those who ever borrowed money from your family, and I will collect those debts for you." "Are you serious? I'm afraid none of them will pay. Such petty beings. I highly doubt they would give me a single penny," Jessica mumbled in disagreement.
