Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2314

"What? Oh, it's nothing. Ms. Young, you're back," Joan answered.

"Yeah. I feel a bit tired today, so I came back early." Delilah put down her things on the chair. "How are you and Larry lately? Have you two reconciled?"

He's been angry with me for quite a long time.

Joan sighed at the thought and replied, "No. I'll wait for some time first. After he has calmed down, I'll try to talk it out with him."

What a silly girl. By the time he is no longer upset, he will be long gone.

Delilah shook her head. "You're such an overthinker, Joan. You can talk to him directly. Men shouldn't be too petty. As long as you explain the situation to him nicely, I'm sure he will understand. But if you keep dragging it on, problems will come sooner or later."

Young people are often told to learn from the older generations, who have experiential knowledge of just about every problem a person might encounter. Therefore, Delilah's sage advice should serve as a guide for Joan.

However, Joan brushed it aside as she cared more about how Larry would feel; she did not want to infuriate him for the time being. Little did she know that doing so actually enraged him even more. Suddenly, Lucius came to them and interrupted their conversation. "Grandma, look. I've got a hibiscus today."

Thus, the topic was dropped.

Meanwhile, in Larry's office, Jessica slumped onto the couch and grumbled, "No, wait. What happened? Are you sure, Larry? Your partner should be Joan, not me. I want to bring along my own date."

In fact, she was planning to bring Caspian to the event for him to learn a thing or two, but now Larry had messed up her plan.

Larry had actually come to this decision only after a long moment of hesitation. Besides, he had informed Caspian about it as well.

"Caspian is not going. I don't think you can replace anyone else other than me, so you will be going with me." Larry challenged her.

What? Who said so? Did he coax Caspian into not going to the banquet? How could he do that? He's so mean! Previously, he was the one who encouraged me to be Caspian's girlfriend, but now he is trying to break us up? It's despicable to ruin other people's relationships!

With such thought in mind, Jessica deliberately said, "Who said I couldn't replace a date? Anyway, I won't be going with you. You should replace Joan."

His face fell at once. It reminded him that he had not been home for several days and did not even make a single call back home since he left. "Jessica, you should know that there are things that can and cannot be said in front of me," he growled, venting his frustration on her.

She shuddered in fear upon hearing his warning.

Larry is terrifying when he's angry!

Although women are generally more quick-tempered than men, when men become angry, they are even scarier than the most furious of women.

What happened between Larry and Joan? Why did Caspian not help them moderate their relationship?

Sighing, Jessica relented and agreed to go with Larry.

When night fell, Larry went to the banquet with Jessica as his partner while Caiden stood outside the supermarket where Joan worked, waiting for her to clock out.

"Hey, Joan. What's going on? Who is that guy?"

"He's been waiting here for several hours. Is he here for you?"

"Yes, he's here for you. I went out just now and chatted with him for a bit."

Joan's colleagues bombarded her with questions; she could only smile awkwardly. She had no idea how to explain the situation to them. Even she herself did not expect to see him waiting at the supermarket entrance so blatantly.

While she suffered from embarrassment inside the supermarket, Caiden felt rather happy to stand there and watch her work.

Looking at the man at the entrance, Joan responded to her colleagues without any hesitation, "I don't know who he is."

Their eyebrows shot up in surprise and they went back to their work quietly.

Meanwhile, Dustin, who was also outside the supermarket, scowled at Caiden. Although Caiden had long attracted Dustin's attention, up until now, the latter had not made a move because he wanted to see what Caiden was up to.

Suddenly, Caiden approached him and said, "Hey, Dustin, are you not going to the Lane Group event tonight? A lot of people are invited. Given your status here, you should have received an invitation letter as well, haven't you?"
