Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2274

"I know what you're trying to get at, but the situation has changed. Larry and Jessica's relationship is purely professional, and they are nothing more than friends and colleagues. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jessica yourself," Caspian tried to explain.

Colleagues? Even colleagues might one day turn into lovers. Then, get married and spend the rest of their lives together. What a joke. The term "professional relationship" is nothing more than a flimsy lie. "I think that's alright," she shook her head. "I'm tired, and I want to rest."

Why in the world is this woman being so stubborn? Just what does she want Larry to do in order to earn her forgiveness?

In a low voice, Caspian inquired exasperatedly, "Then, can you tell me what is going on between you and Dustin? I've seen him come here several times already."

What else could happen between me and Dustin? We are just good friends.

Failing to detect the suspicious tone of Caspian's voice, she replied, "He comes to visit occasionally because he cares for me as a friend."

Huh? That's it? No way. If I remembered correctly, Dustin has been in love with her for a long time. Is she also cheating on Larry?

"Let me remind you that you're a married woman, Joan. It would do you some good to not interact too much with this kind of scummy man, or others will start to run their mouths," he told her matter-of-factly.

If she was going to insist on standing her ground, then he had no more reason to spare her dignity or pride. When it came down to it, Caspian would always side with Larry.

"What are you trying to say? There's nothing between Dustin and me! You tell Larry to stop accusing me of things I didn't do because my conscience is clear!" Joan retorted.

She was truly mad and offended now. How dare Larry question my morals! I've never done anything stupid to stain his name!

"This isn't Larry's opinion but mine," Caspian clarified. "I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but do you know what the employees at Norton Corporation have been saying about you? They call you a wolf in sheep's clothing, a scheming b*tch, and a shameless woman who will just go with anyone. No matter how well Mr. Norton treats you, you will never be satisfied. Besides, you seem to care a lot about Dustin and Caiden as well."

Joan's mind went blank. Suddenly, the man standing in front of her had become frightening. Caspian had never once talked to her in such a passive-aggressive, accusatory manner before. What is wrong with him today?

"There's nothing going on between them and me. Dustin is my good friend, and Caiden is my junior from school who has also saved my life," she replied firmly.

Caspian internally scoffed. He wasn't going to fall for that. A man and a woman could never be "just friends". They were merely labeling their relationships as they saw fit, taking what they needed from each other.

"Oh, grow up, Joan! If Dustin wasn't in love with you, then why would he be at your beck and call? If Caiden wasn't in love with you, then why were you the first person he called and asked to take care of him and cook for him?"

Joan was rendered speechless. She would admit that the two men did like her, but she didn't return their feelings! She had a husband whom she loved very much!

"You're overthinking it. There's nothing going on between us."

"Let me ask you one more question. If you divorced Larry one day, who would you choose? Caiden or Dustin?"

What kind of question is that? How could I ever get divorced with Larry? All I want is to teach him a lesson.

She didn't want to continue this conversation any further. "I'm tired. Please leave me alone."

She shouldn't have expected for him to understand her point of view. After all, they came from completely different worlds and backgrounds. But she never would have thought that Caspian was such a materialistic, snobbish person.
