Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2310

Caspian knew how ridiculous his question was but he had to hear it from the man himself. As long as Larry stayed with Joan, Jessica would have to stand down, which would allow Caspian to woo her. "I think what you're trying to ask is if I'll be with Jessica in the future?" Larry clarified Caspian's question.

After some hesitation, Caspian admitted it.

"Don't worry. First, I'll never divorce Joan. Second, there's no way I can ever be with Jessica. Are you satisfied with that?"

Without a doubt, Caspian was more than satisfied with Larry's answer. Gone was the anxiety he felt earlier; he was exuberant again.

Knowing Larry was a man of his word, he felt even more hopeful about his future with Jessica.

"Happy now?" Larry asked.

"Happy."

"Very happy?"

"Very happy."

"Then why aren't you going back to work? Do you want to work overtime?" Larry suddenly yelled.

"Oh, right! Sorry, Larry. I'll go back to work now!" Caspian muttered as he ran out of the office.

Larry smiled after Caspian's retreating figure. What a big goof. Why did he even think I'd snatch the woman he loves? His smile was soon wiped away as other thoughts came into his mind.

I wonder what Joan's doing now. Have I gone too far earlier? He felt more guilty the longer he thought about it. He only wished Joan could be more aware of keeping her distance from those problematic men. I she had, neither of them would be suffering now.

The park was bathed in warmth and joy as people went about their activities. A group of elderly people was enjoying a yoga session while children were running around, playing with their pets. Everything seemed so heartwarming and peaceful; the only fly in the ointment was Joan. She was seated on a bench in a corner of the park, quietly sobbing away.

"Miss, are you okay? Why are you sad?" asked an elderly woman as she went up to Joan.

"Oh, it's nothing." Joan hurriedly wiped her tears away and tried to regain her composure.

"Did you argue with your husband?" the elderly woman added as she sat herself down beside Joan.

Joan had always doubted the saying that people were more perceptive as they got older. But from the looks of it, there was indeed truth to that.

"How could you tell, Madam?"

"Most of the time, people cry because they feel emotional. While there are many emotions, I'm pretty sure yours has to do with love. So that's how I concluded that you might have fought with your husband," the elderly woman replied with a kind smile.

Joan was filled with admiration for the woman seated beside her.

"But don't you worry. The two of you will make up soon enough. Men can be so rash at times, so don't panic. Everything will be fine once this blows over."

As the elderly woman left, Joan called out, "Thank you, Madam! Have a nice day!"

It had not been a long conversation but the woman's words had struck a chord with Joan, whose mood brightened considerably.

She was still thinking about those wise words when her phone rang. Upon seeing the caller's name, Joan immediately answered.

"Joan? Where are you?" Nancy asked anxiously.

"What's the matter? I'm outside."

"No, what I meant was, are you still overseas?"

"Oh, don't worry. I'm already back."

That was the best news Nancy could ask for and she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Larry had only just stepped into the house when he saw Delilah and greeted her.

"Oh! You're home!" Delilah replied with a smile.

"Dad, I've missed you so much!" Lucius lept into Larry's arms and started planting kisses all over his face.

Even though he was happy to see Lucius and Delilah, Larry still could not shake the feeling of disappointment when the face he most wanted to see wasn't there.

Where could Joan be?
