Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2305

"Honestly, I'm not thinking about anything. Caiden and I are just friends and I don't want to get involved in your lives. But, as you know..." Joan shrugged as she replied somewhat helplessly.

Indeed, Jaden knew all along that it was Caiden who was bothering Joan. She had never once taken the initiative to contact him. Sometimes, he did not understand why Caiden had to hold on to a married woman. Why can't he let her go?

"What exactly happened with Caiden today? Why did he hit my sister?" Jaden asked.

Here it comes. I can't avoid it now. Joan took a deep breath to prepare herself, then looked him in the eye and began to explain the situation.

Finally, Jaden finally understood the entire situation.

Basically, Noelle was the culprit! Joan was merely the one who ignited the fire in her.

"It's all because of you again," he said as he stirred his coffee.

Hearing his words, Joan immediately lowered her head as a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes.

Yeah, if I hadn't gone to cook for Caiden, all these wouldn't have happened.

"Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen," she whispered.

He took a sip of coffee before he said, "Joan, I have to remind you that you need to break some things off. Otherwise, you'll cause even greater problems. You really need to think it through properly. As for Caiden's feelings, as long as he's happy, I don't want to get too involved in it. I've grown up with him since young. He didn't have it easy and was bullied by other kids back then. He was also looked down upon when we were in school. So if you like him, don't let go of him or make him unhappy ever again. If you don't like him, please keep a distance from him so that he doesn't have to continue to suffer. It's something that all of us, including you, don't want to see, am I right?"

He's right. If some things aren't stopped in time, they'll only become more complicated in the future.

Jaden knew that all along, Caiden had always been stubborn. The latter was not a person to give up trying so easily. However, Jaden also clearly understood that Joan was someone Caiden could never have. "I understand. Thank you," she replied and prepared to leave.

"Also, I hope the best for you and Larry. If you still love him, you should try to get along with him," he reminded her.

Joan suddenly felt Jaden had matured a lot. The Jaden of the past was always sloppy and carefree and never did his job properly. But now... Joan continued to gaze at him curiously.

"Is it that weird? This is the real me," he explained.

Okay, then. This world is too complicated; I don't want to bother to understand it.

Joan smiled and left the cafe.

She walked on aimlessly, admiring the flowers by the side of the road as she was lost in her own thoughts.

How can I explain this properly to Caiden? He's already in a bad mood right now. If...

Forget it. I'll talk to him again in a few days.

As soon as she got home, Lucius ran into her arms. "Mom, you're back! I missed you!"

"Hi! Come taste the soup that I made for you," Delilah said from the kitchen.

"My dear, how have you been?" Joan asked, pinching the boy's cheeks.

"Very good! My teacher said that I'm the best child in class. Isn't that right, Grandma?" he shouted toward the kitchen.

"Yes, yes. You'll always be the best in my heart. You'll be even better than your Mom!"

At that moment in Larry's office, Caspian carefully handed the photo over to Larry. "Here it is." There was a hint of caution in Caspian's expression as he spoke. "Thanks. You may go now," Larry replied slowly.

He's asking me to go out without even looking at it? Isn't he going to ask me any questions?

Without raising his head, Larry continued, "Go back to work first. I'll call you if I need you."

In reality, he was only acting that way because he was worried that as soon as he saw the photo, he would lose control of himself and vent his anger on Caspian.
