Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2276

So Caiden knew too. Well, the story had made front-page headlines. Joan huffed and took a moment to regain her composure.

"Mmm." Her answer sounded straightforward yet weak, even to her own ears.

"What do you plan on doing?"

"Nothing. I'll go with the flow and let fate take the wheel. It's not as if I want more things to happen," she muttered.

Caiden wondered if her answer meant that she still had some hope in Larry.

Larry was obviously very important to her, so there was no doubt that she was feeling down. But where is she now? He'd heard that she'd moved to a place where no one was able to replace her. "Joan, let's meet up tomorrow," he declared.

Joan did a double take. She didn't want to meet up with anyone, let alone Caiden.

"Is there something you want to talk about? We can do it through the phone."

"Yes, there's something very important. I need to go now, but I'll text you the address and time." With that, he immediately ended the call.

Actually, he didn't have anything to do. He just didn't want her to reject him outright.

"Huh, Caiden? I don't have the time to meet up! Hello?" Joan stared at her dimming phone screen, sighing helplessly.

Something important? Will something happen if I don't go? She felt a migraine coming on, so she raised her hands to massage her temples.

Oh no, give me a break.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so troubled?" Delilah fretted, approaching Joan.

"Hm? It's nothing, Ms. Young," Joan hurriedly greeted her, getting to her feet. "Why are you here?"

"This is my house, Joan. Am I not welcome here?" Delilah handed her a lunchbox. "This is for you. Lucius said he wanted dumplings, so I made extra for him and for you. Go on, have a taste." "Thank you, Ms. Young," Joan chuckled. Delilah was always caring for her.

The older woman eyed her surroundings, breathing a sigh of relief when she realized that Joan had everything she needed. Opening up the refrigerator revealed that it was stocked with various fruits and vegetables, and there were also traces of cooking in the kitchen. At least Joan knew how to look after herself.

Delilah smiled in satisfaction, but she was unaware that the traces of cooking had been left behind by Dustin.

"How is it?"

"It tastes wonderful, Ms. Young," Joan answered happily. "Why don't you have some yourself?"

"No, no. I've eaten today. You should eat some more meat, all that junk food isn't good for health." Delilah eyed the various packets of instant noodles in the cabinets.

"I know. I only eat them every once in a while."

The truth was that Joan hadn't eaten well for two days straight before Delilah's visit today due to a lack of appetite.

Humans were strange creatures. When you wanted to go on a diet and lose weight, your body would adamantly refuse to show any changes. But when you fall into a pit of depression and lose all the energy to stay on a diet, your body weight would suddenly drop.

A few days was all it took for Joan's body to feel lighter as she had lost more than ten pounds.

She wasn't sure if she should be happy or sad since Larry used to joke that she had gotten a little chubbier after giving birth.

"Eat slowly" reminded Delilah. "If it's not enough, I can cook more for you right now."

"It's alright, Ms. Young!" Joan rushed to stop her. "This is more than enough, I swear. I won't even be able to finish everything."

Delilah sighed in pity as she watched Joan eat the dumplings. How does a happy, normal family end up like this?

"You should sit down and have a proper talk with Larry. The kids miss you too," she suggested. She was aware that Joan loved Lucius more than anything in the world, and hoped that the mention of Lucius would motivate Joan to go back to her family.

Just as she'd expected, Joan froze slightly, sadness flashed through the depths of her eyes. She'd moved out because she didn't want the children to be affected by her fight with Larry. At the same time, she needed some time to herself, but now...
